Moss & Milk Cafe: A Community Hub Rooted in Place

Located within the Tsawaak RV Resort’s visitors centre, Moss & Milk is a warm, welcoming community cafe that serves up an incredible array of seasonal bites, coffee, and warming specialized drinks. “We really tried to make our cafe about the connection between the culture, the community here, and the environment,” says co-owner Valentine.

Whether you’re rolling in with an RV for a short stay, staying in one of Tsawaak’s cabins, or simply passing through the area, Moss & Milk offers a simple, nourishing reason to pause: a hand-pressed espresso, a fresh pastry or smoothie, and a chance to gather in community in a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. The café sources ingredients thoughtfully, often from local producers or foraging ingredients themselves, reflecting a commitment not only to flavour and quality but also to supporting the community that make this coast home. 

It was a natural step for Moss & Milk to become Tribal Park Allies and participate in this program. “We decided to become Tribal Parks Allies because the values just so closely align with our own. We think it’s important to take responsibility for the impact we have just by being here, and by giving some of that back to the community so they can continue taking care of the land and the community in general,” says Valentine. As part of Tsawaak RV Resort, the cafe sits at the heart of a space designed to celebrate Indigenous culture, sustainability, and connection to nature.“

If you believe business can, and should, flow in harmony with nature, community, and culture, take inspiration from Moss & Milk. “It’s just a really tangible way for businesses to give back to the land and to the community to really benefit everyone here.” By following the lead of businesses like Moss & Milk and aligning with Indigenous stewardship and supporting local land and people-centred initiatives like the Tribal Parks Allies program, businesses can help build a future rooted in respect, connection, and sustainability for generations to come.
