If you want an example of Nova Scotia hospitality, humour and service, this is your stop! Loved the 'support your local caffeine dealer' sign and the good humour and service are backed up by brilliant coffee. We got directed next door to the bakery where we learned of the mysterious dunkaroo. They're even delightful the morning after the Saturday night kitchen party

We ended up here after the main street through town had been closed for the annual parade. Had a smoked meat sandwich which was great ! Coffee was quite good and we got to see the parade :) Ladies running the cafe were super friendly and great hostesses.

We stopped off here for a coffee, hot chocolate and muffin on a Saturday afternoon. The hot chocolate was made with so much attention, the cream, sauce, Sprinkles was amazing and beyond what we were expecting. Although we only stopped for a drink and a place to stop, we took a photo of the menu and will be back for paninis, and also will bring friends and family there when we visit the area again. A gem! Bathroom was large and clean too.

The customer service is amazing, the barista recommended the club sandwich and it did not disappoint. Easily the best club I’ve had in a long time. Calm clean atmosphere and good good coffee.
