You hear the waves, the birds chirping, and very close to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park. We ate at the cafe twice, and my absolute favourite was the pannekoek with bacons and homemade ginger jam. Omg, I am drooling thinking about it. Pannekoek is a Dutch pancake, and I never thought I would love pancakes this much. Ton is such a great host and you will not regret staying here and experience eating his pannekoeks!

We were seated at the table under the nice big moose head :-) The menu has quite a good number of choices for pannekoek (Duch crepe). We had pannekoek with fresh fruit and another one with banana, coconut and chocolate. Both were superb. Nicely prepared and presented. The little gift shop has nicely selected souvenirs. Definitely recommend this place for a good meal while visiting Cabot Trail.

A lovely shop and salesperson. Lots of locally made pottery, jewelry and cozy items. I bought two…read moreanklets for my late teen daughters. They are really pretty with sea glass charms. Unfortunately, the first time my daughters wore them, 1 out of the three charms fell off (different designs but same problem). Another charm fell off and we found it. In addition, one of the anklets had an extension on the chain to allow you to size it for your ankle--that fell off. If it had happened to one of the anklets, I would have assumed human error--but it was both. I emailed the store through their web site twice but have not heard a response.

We were struck by the pottery, particularly the glazed whale bowls and serving platters, got one of the latter. There was more than we had time to explore, a nice 2 level space that is quiet and well-organized, very nice service and a pleasant stop during a beautiful drive, much less chintzy than the other shops along the way and with a log-cabin feel. Very worth stopping for a visit!

Worth the $19. Two adults and a senior. Clean bathrooms always a plus as well. They had a public computer if you needed to get on line for a bit as well. Glad we spent some time here.
