I had the banana nut muffin and is was truly the best banana nut muffin I've ever had! It had a mix of nuts, seeds, a smattering of mini chocolate chips and a drizzle of icing. Add a light shake of sea salt, and you have found my ideal breakfast treat. My husband had the apple cinnamon crumble muffin. We made an audible "mmmm" on his first bite. Our Americano and latte were exactly as we hoped. If you have time to linger, go upstairs and sit on one large leather couches. We met some native Nova Scotians and never felt rushed. And if we were made of money I would have bought one of the beautiful hand-dyed silk scarves on sale one the first floor. Thank goodness we are here in Mahone Bay for a while... we shall return!

I've tried them all, in Lunenburg, including the new Barn. Hands down Number Nine is the most awesome espresso and coffee in the coolest space. Lovely barristas. Place is is owned by a singer, and artists (and locals like boatmakers!) are regulars. Music always great but not obtrusive, peaceful vibe. Charming as heck. Highly recommend this third-wave coffee joint. Don't miss it if you come to Lunenburg! In a historic old grey house. Sometimes a line-up, but it's worth it, so chat with others while you wait and relax. (Also a gorgeous, accessible ramp back garden area - you can bring your dog!) 135 Montague, on the main drag next to a small record store.

Rose & Rooster quickly rose (sorry, not sorry) to the top of my list, with glowing reviews and a menu that was approachable but also putting more effort in than many rural cafes tend to. We arrived for a late lunch and were able to easily snag a table out front and one blessedly in the shade. Ordering at the counter inside, it was a tough call for me between their seafood chowder and the fishcakes, but I eventually went for the latter. Some brunchy options were still available, and my wife opted for their croque monsieur. Sipping on some iced Americanos, we soon had our food in front of us. I was immediately impressed with the fish cakes as they looked like they had an incredible crust on them, and looks did not deceive! They were wonderfully crisp, and the interior was smooth, but still had a little texture from the small chunks of potato. Salt cod gave a pleasant flavour, and the green tomato chow/jam was a star in its own right, striking a great balance between sweet and tart. Some yellow flower petals fancied things up further. My side salad was fresh and crisp, with a mix of greens, cucumber, carrots and more, and a delicious, creamy dressing that had a flavour that I couldn't quite place, but quite enjoyed. My wife's croque monsieur was served open-faced, and the cheese and ham had gotten some great colour under the broiler, while a thick slice of fresh bread held up well under the rich, hot mess on top. Not to be outdone by the savoury foods, the desserts at Rose & Rooster will put you in a state of sugar-induced choice paralysis, but we were lured in by the colourful layers of the strawberry rhubarb and matcha layer cake! It's a mouthful to say, and eat, with alternating layers of airy cake, a summery strawberry and rhubarb spread, and a lovely matcha cream. Topped off with more cream and a dusting of matcha powder, it was a flavour-packed treat that did not disappoint. It wouldn't be accurate to call Rose & Rooster a diamond in the rough, since the Eastern Shore is much too pretty for that, but we can stick to the jewelry theme and call them gold.

Parking is weird in the area and out front is only 15 minutes, so don't park there as you'll want to spend time inside. An amazing bookstore with all of the best locally-published books but also a cafe. Nice and quaint with great seating in the main area and a few tables in the back space. Service was absolutely wonderful and friendly. Great vibe and great atmosphere. Opted for the vegan Jamaican patty to share which was an excellent choice besides not realizing we each should have gotten our own! They serve great coffee by south shore's Laughing Whale Coffee Roasters. The food case is limited but options are delicious.

An old train station converted into a cafe along a bike trail. Pretty much a perfect destination for someone who loves bikes and coffee. Well last week I finally made the trip biking from Halifax to the Bike and Bean. Well it turned out even better then I had envisioned since I heard about it. I arrived by bike and the building is fantastic, a converted train station with bike parking, park benches to have lunch on, two patios to sit and sip coffee and not just a cafe serving grilled paninis but a bike show with t-shirts, bike gear, rentals and local bike themed art work. I was totally blown away. Had a delicious coffee and a grown-up grilled cheese, which was delicious, and got refresh before I continued biking. If you are a bike fan you should take the ride up there from Halifax, but even if you don't have a bike and want to grab a great lunch at a fantastic spot just outside the city I recommend playing the Bike and Bean a visit.
