John & Cynthia Pringle have been proudly serving Westport & the Rideau Lakes for over a decade. Established in 2003, our love for food, our lust for fun and our desire for experience has been the driving force behind our success.
In the winter of 2003, we began working on our concept for a comfortably balanced food service outlet; one which could withstand the harsh Canadian climate, the seasonal cottage industry’s starts and stops and maintain a simplistic approach to old-fashioned food. For over a decade our mission remains the same:
Offer exceptional food and drink in a comfortable environment, allowing our reputation to grow our business.
The Cottage Coffee House emerged from the fusion of our Fun & Food. One of our core beliefs is…if we can make something ourselves, we do. Our tag line comes from our mission making everything better! In our guest book, one of my favorite post is this one…”Until I see a moose this is the best thing I’ve seen in Canada yet!”

Proof again that fun is an important component within our business; in 2018 the show “Espresso Shots” emerged from within the walls of The Cottage Coffee House. The show became a instant classic and it continues to highlight Westport’s nuances, local talent and people of the region.
If you’ve not visited The Cottage Coffee House, then you’ve not fully experienced Westport. See you soon at the house!
