2023Open since 2023. That's 3 years. Owned by members of the Sooke Community Investment Cooperative.
Our take
When the Stick in the Mud coffee house came up for sale in 2023, roughly 400 locals bought it through a community co-operative rather than let it go. The name comes from Sooke’s old postal code, V0S 1N0, and the coffee still comes from the Stick in the Mud roastery next door. In 2025 the Sooke Region Chamber named it New Business of the Year.
