Excellent little Café in side the Cultural Centre. Really nice salads and bites, and great coffee. The gift shops attached as incredible artist & environmentally conscious offerings along with educational materials and beautiful jewelry and clothing. They also offer local food items such as candied salmon bites, coffee beans and teas. The cultural centre museum above is stunning and informative. A MUST VISIT if you are in the area. Highly recommend.

I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been going here every time I come up to unceeded lil’wat/Sq’uamish lands-like for YEARS. This cafè is on the lower floor of the beautiful cultural center. I cannot recommend it enough. The service is always 10/10 (special shoutout to dear Tylas-he’s been the ambassador whom I’ve interacted with consistently for many years now, and works the cafè regularly from what I can tell. He’s the best). The food is UNREAL. I mean seriously. The first time I ever had a smoked salmon bannock panini sandwich (please see attached photo) I nearly cried it was so good. I’m from Seattle so I’m a huge coffee snob. The coffee here passes my litmus test and far exceeds it (I recommend getting an extra shot). This entire space is very special and it’s a rare place in the world where a person can feel calm, at ease, and actually safe. Thank you all for always making my trips special, and adding so much to the world. And helping me get me happy, fed, and caffeinated hehe.
Lots of love and Solidarity forever(#landback).

The smoked salmon bannock panini and smoked salmon chowder are delicious! Located downstairs of the Squamish lilwat cultural center, small seating area so we did takeout. Friendly service although a bit slow since there were not many staff, but definitely worth the wait!

Beautiful building that we've only driven by on past visits. So glad we finally decided to stop for coffee and a look. The espresso here is perfectly rich and smooth with cocoa notes. Lunch was excellent as well; we had the venison chilli, carrot and jalapeño soup, and bannock pastry...and I'd return for all of the above. Next time we'll leave time to visit more exhibits.

Why not make more of the salmon paninis if you know it’s going to sell out? Tired of paying through the roof for impossible to find parking just to find that the sandwich I came there for is sold out in the first hour you’re open

Every time my mom and I go to Whistler we always go for lunch at the Thunderbird Cafe. The salmon chowder and bannock is something we look forward to…. Hands down the best chowder and bannock we’ve ever had! Love this place!

The best kept food secret of Whistler. We legitimately came to Whistler just to eat here again. Bannock is out of this world. Service is amazing. Prices are reasonable. Eating here feels like coming home. The cultural centre is a MUST see of course!
