About

Come in and relax under the plum tree!

We are passionate about serving delicious, wholesome food prepared from scratch. Our cafe is located in the heritage cottage next to Mouat’s in the heart of Ganges village on beautiful Salt Spring Island. The building itself was built in the 1920s and has a long and diverse history which includes being the site of the first electrical generating station on the island and later as a home for one of the Mouat family’s favorite aunts, Margaret.  It’s even been a smoke house, crystal shop and music school.

The Tree House has been operating in it’s current form as a full service restaurant and coffee bar/deli since 1996.

Live music under the stars every summer 

“ This hip outdoor café in the heart of Ganges’ action is the kind of place where a hobbit would feel at home.
Enjoy a sandwich, espresso or pint on the terrace under the plum tree on a sunny afternoon, or come on a summer evening, when live music is a regular feature.”
