River Run Cafe has a cute, open space on New Glasgow's main drag, with lots of light in its corner suite. When my wife and I first came by, we re-energized with coffees and something sweet.
They've got a solid drip coffee, and at just $2.50 for a large, you can't go wrong.
A large chocolate chip cookie was fresh and pleasantly chewy.
On a return visit, my wife and I got in just before a steady stream of other lunch customers.
I went with the breakfast BLT ($6.50) and a large drip coffee, while my other half opted for the soup and biscuit combo ($6.50).
Our food came out very quickly and my BLT was a great example of this classic sandwich: the salt and savouriness of the crisp bacon, bright acidity of the tomato, plus the added richness of a fried egg.
My wife was a big fan of her potato and bacon soup - piping hot, smooth and hearty. A big ol' cheddar biscuit was buttery and flaky and just about everything you'd want in a biscuit!
