Black Coffee at Whippletree Junction, Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island
Whippletree Junction was started about 30 years ago by a fellow named Randy Streit with a funky collection of old heritage buildings rescued from demolition. The Wickertree was the first building rescued having come from the old Chinatown in Duncan. An old fish cannery in Sooke was brought back to life as Wagon Wheel Antiques and Cobble Hill’s old post office and bank were resurrected to what is now Black Coffee.
These days the old buildings house antique shops, new furniture stores, a restaurant, a tack shop and others. The Whippletree Junction restaurant, Pioneer House Restaurant has excellent food and is a favourite family spot. Check out the bar from the St. Francis Saloon in Butte, Montana. This place is fun to visit and has a great history.
