Baked goods permeate the ocean air that flows from the open windows. This is an order your meal at the counter then find a table format, which if you're not a local it's hard to figure out which i observed while waiting to order. I had a generous portion of a seafood chowder that was thick creamed based, overflowing with substantial seafood and not just potato fillers. Then came the obligatory lobster roll which was one of the best rolls I've had! I finished with a homemade coconut cream tartlet that was good but had a tad too much gelatin for my palate. I'm all about texture and taste. Overall, my meal was very good and satisfying. The location is off the highway so pay attention youmight miss it. Cafe area was clean and well kept. Bathrooms were super clean ( bonus for this road warrior ), plenty of parking and outdoor dog friendly tables that each have water bowls and treats. That always impresses me as i travel with my chocolate lab all the time and to be abe to eat with her is a big deal. After you eat you are surrounded by a bunch of anti-rooms filled with local touristic nick-knacks. Café's such as this one are far and few on this island so if you're passing through stop in for a great meal!!

The Farmer's Daughter Country Market was a great place to stop for a morning break…read more The market & bakery is nice and airy and offers a good variety of fresh baked goods including breads, rolls, biscuits, pies, cookies, and other treats plus fresh produce, fudge, gelato, a good variety of Scotsburn Dairy Ice Cream flavours, jar goods, snacks, coffee (self serve carafes), and cold drinks from the cooler. The full service food counter offers breakfast items, fried chicken, sandwiches, wraps, seafood, chowder, chili, soup, fried foods, and filled savoury buns. In a separate (connected) building, there's also a neat country store offering plenty of Christmas & holiday ornaments & decorations, as well as the traditional country home decor, frames, mats, wooden signs, supplies, and miscellaneous knick-knacks. A lot stuff is made in C---a and it's not Canada. I could smell the aroma of potpourri in the air in the store. The store was a good place to browse around and to stretch. I picked up a bag of Homemade Cheese Biscuits and some Oatcakes to enjoy on the road trip through Cape Breton.

After spending a brief time at the Port Hood Day Park enjoying the nice views of the water and Port Hood Island on a sunny Sunday morning, we decided to stop off for a light breakfast at Sandeannie's Bakery & Tea Room (formerly Greco Pizza Donair Xpress). The place was very busy when we arrived here with a mix of locals and tourists. The place is not fancy which consists of a cozy dining room with self serve table seating and order counter. There are also bakery goods & breads (in clear plastic bags)for sale on the shelf including rolls, biscuits, scones, cookies, muffins, and oatcakes. The breakfast menu (served all day) includes a variety of egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, breakfast sides, cinnamon rolls, and other baked goods. The lunch menu (from 11AM) includes sandwiches, burgers, salads, soup, chili, seafood chowder or lobster bisk, seafood, fish cakes, and all beef meat pie. For dessert, they also offer Deep Fried Mars Bar and Deep Fried Ice Cream. The prices here seem reasonable, most entrees $6.00-$9.95 and seafood dishes $8.50-$12.95. They also offer a kids menu and specials too. This is how it works here. They have restaurant menus you can look at, but you have to order your food and drink at the register & pay first, then your order is brought out to your table. The coffee and tea is also self serve. For breakfast, we ordered 2 coffees, a cinnamon roll, and a classic breakfast with two eggs (scrambled) with fish cakes, home fries, homemade toast, oat mash, and orange slice garnish. The brewed coffee was good and refillls were self serve. The cinnamon roll was okay, which was served warm and slightly dry inside, and not the frosted icing kind we're accustomed to enjoying. As for the classic breakfast, the scrambled eggs were soft, the homemade bread was toasted crisp and lightly buttered. The soft grilled fish cakes had a slightly pungent odor, otherwise tasted just fine served with chow. The very modest portion of home fries were fresh cut potatoes lightly grilled and lightly oily outside. The "oat mash/porridge" was very dense and quite good. In all, breakfast here was good, but not wow. As we were finishing up and getting ready to head out on the road again, the very high pitched smoke detector went off over the register area near the kitchen. The owner was using a serving tray to try to fan the heat under the smoke detector. "A small lesson in fire safety" remarked another customer. FREE WIFI with password

Only the locals know about this little market that's also a homestyle diner…read more When I am visiting family in New Glasgow, this is my FAVOURITE spot to go for breakie or brunch, because the quality of this greasy spoon plate of breakfast cannot be matched. The last time I was there, my jaw actually dropped at the size of the two over easy eggs on my plate! I'm sure they come from a local supplier - these wouldn't fit into the normal grocery store egg categories. Hashbrowns are also phenomenal. And, I don't know another local diner in the area that gives you a breakfast plate with homemade, thick cut toast, dripping in butter along with breakfast meat that will go above and beyond any other diner's attempt to satisfy. Trust me, this plate of awesomeness is not for the faint of heart, but it's bar none the best breakfast in all of Pictou County. Opt for the sausages - you won't be disappointed. And then make sure who ever is with you gets the bacon. Cause you'll obviously want to try a strip of that, too. Service is laid back. Coffee is fine - it's diner quality, and that's fine by me. The floors creak and the locals pretty much have assigned seating. Tables are small and the ceilings are low, but it's all part of the atmosphere, folks! Don't forget to pick up a few baked goods from the general store. Pies, rolls, breads and other yummy items are always fresh baked and are completely drool-worthy. Enjoy!

The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us.

We were in the mood for something other than fish & chips (though the table next to us ordered it and devoured their delicious looking entrees in record time). First thing I noticed was that although the place wasn't full of patrons that were sitting down and staying they were doing a steady takeout business. That's a great sign! I opted for the chicken souvlaki meal which came with rice, salad of my choice and french fries. Also included on my plate were a few triangles of very thin pita like bread that had been toasted. It was much more food than I could eat! The chicken was amazing, very nicely marinated and super hot and juicy. Great choice! My husband chose a baked chicken club sub. His chicken was also great and he was very pleased with the toasty tasty sandwich. It was simply dressed with bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayo, but that suited him just fine and he ate every bite. Service was quick and pleasant. Restaurant was small but clean. -1 star simply because the two dishes we initially tried to order were both unavailable that day (lasagna & chicken parmagiana).

I asked to make sure there would be donair sauce on the side instead of on the burg and she was super cranky and said ya it's always on the side. Get there at exactly 7 pm, when it was said to be ready and paid, tipped (shouldn't have, she was not friendly). Drove 40 minutes home and no donair sauce, sandwich was about 3/4 mayo so it was just inedible. Since there was no donair sauce the donair burger wasn't so great. Staff was not very friendly. I don't usually leave bad reviews... but this was just 2 thumbs down.
