Café Eightyone

EighytOne is the café that offers more than coffee; a community hub that brings locals and tourists together.

Whether you’ve been here thirty years, ten years, or five months, you probably call yourself a local. It is not necessarily defined by a length of time, but more of a mindset. The idea that you have the insider scoop and know a little bit more about this resort town than the average tourist does. Whistler loves its locals, in theory. But does it really give them a place to be or just an occasional happy hour that the tourists are excluded from? EightyOne is more than just another café on the stroll or hotel breakfast spot. It is a place for locals to be locals. Whether you need to get some work done, catch up with a friend, grab a quick lunch, or find out about community events, we are your community hub.

Andrea has created artwork from her studio in the colorful community for over thirteen years and hosts monthly paint nights in Whistler.
