We found this place via walking, Places that has plenty of space in and outdoors. Very friendly staff, we ordered Ice coffee mocha latte! We also had the custard bites and French toast bits! Excellent taste dessert that not to bland or overly sweet. We were luckily to have walked and and give them a try. We will gladly return to Sydney and have their amazing coffee and food.

The staff was really friendly and we enjoyed both our lattes and oat cakes (a Nova Scotian specialty). The space is quite cozy and kid-friendly with high chairs and changing tables in the bathrooms. Overall, a positive experience.

The person working there was very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable, and they clearly took a lot of pride in their product. The eat‑in area was very comfortable -- I loved the tables and chairs. We also had the chocolate chip pumpkin loaf, and it was so good! Highly recommend!

Tried here for lunch on a Wednesday in January. Arrived about 11:40 and the place was pretty full…read morewith all the seats taken. Luckily, the café has overflow tables outside their side door in a common lobby area of the strip mall. I found the chairs a bit wobbly though (the style), so ended up standing up to eat, since the wobbliness was too distracting for me to enjoy my food. Anyway, the inside of the café is very nice with warm colors, lots of wall décor items and various local small business items for sale, such as jewelry, scarves, artwork, etc. Staff are quite friendly. I tried the ginger carrot soup, a daily special, and it wasn't bad. Had a strong oregano taste I found, was thick and very filling. My side of cranberry almond pasta salad also wasn't bad, good flavor, but nothing overly memorable. My 'skinny squirrel' latte (hazelnut flavor and something else?) was good but I could barely finish it after the two food items. I'd go back here another time for just a drink and baked item maybe, since they don't have a regular permanent meal menu. The sandwich/wrap item of the day was ham and cheese and I'm vegetarian, so I couldn't get that. If I wanted a sandwich though, I'm sure they could make something...I just didn't ask to see. Prices are pretty standard for an independent place. It came to $35 for myself and my mother to both have combos with lattes, which sounded like a lot at first, but would cost that much at Starbucks for similar items. I just would recommend going here when it's not lunch time, to have a better chance at getting a regular table and non-wobbly chairs. Lol

Good stop. I was excited about reviews for gf baked goods,…read morethough there were only 2 things to choose from (a crumble and a brownie). I went with the French toast (gf bread). The waitress made sure I knew it was cooked on a shared cooktop (not sure if there were options not to but I'm allergy not celiac so this was ok for me). It was great, very fluffy bread. My boyfriend had a breakfast platter that he devoured. That could be gf too.

Everything was made fresh and the kitchen really knows what they are doing! The multigrain bread used in the sandwich was airy, soft and slight nutty flavor. We got there late so the pastry and breads were pretty much gone so get there early if that's what brings you here. You get a number and your order is brought to your table. Service was efficient, friendly and no fuss. Atmosphere was like a busy coffee shop, with the same amount of noise you would expect. But there is outdoor seating for anyone with mobility issues or large groups. They even had live music starting just as we were leaving. Great experience!

Fantastic Place!! Think: Hot, steamy, crusty giant pancake!…read more 1. Don't let the word "pannekoek" distract you - when I ordered I asked for gluten free and the cook (CHEF) said he made gluten free pancakes (Pannekoek is a fancy word for more pancake than crepe) that were really good - and he was RIGHT! I had already had breakfast and I saw one of these - ordered it and took it with me. It was MAGNIFICIENT. I had it plain with powdered sugar and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I tore chunks of the steaming sweet dough and ate it in bite-size chunks as we drove with windows down with chilly wind wafting through. Oh, my friends got regular (not gluten free) waffles that they said were terrrific! 2. Don't let their web site photos influence you - the food is a thousand times better than the photos look! 3. Here is the reason we stopped. Our B&B gave us coupons for breakfast and we could use the coupon here or at The Clucking Hen. We wanted to check the places out so we stopped at the Dancing Moose and it was closed at the time. We peeked through the window and the cook (CHEF) saw us, unlocked the door, came out and said they were not open yet but "Do you need the ladies room? You are welcome to use it." Now, WHO is that nice these days? We didn't but we promised to come back so we did. We were the winners in that decision! 4. If you like, try this place. We had a great time and the food was wonderful! We went back and we will go back every time we go to Cabot Trail which will be frequent as we have visitors who come and want to see the Cabot Trail!
