Incredibly scenic setting. Just look at the pictures. It's an iconic fishing harbour with one restaurant. Not touristy at all. All unstained wood. The cafe itself is quintessential Newfoundland simplicity. A must stop on the Irish Loop. Less than 20 minutes from St. John's...if you don't get lost. Most folks here come from town.

International friends, the coffee is rich, aromatic, but not overly bitter or acidic. Perfect mix to settle in either indoors or at one of a few tables outside, and enjoy a weekend afternoon. Only complaint is that it's only open weekends but a little bird has told me that this might be changing come May 2017. Fingers crossed!

I appreciate that the sandwich isn't overly saucy, making it easier to eat on the go without a mess. Between the two options, I prefer the bagel as the cream cheese adds a satisfying bite and makes it less dry compared to the chicken sandwich. This restaurant is located in a house at the corner of the street, with two patio sections on either side. When you walk in, it appears cozy with limited seating. However, if you walk to the right through the door, there is ample seating next door and a self-serve water station.

We made reservations, but when we got there was no reservations. We were given the only available table, which was for 2 people , there were 4 of us. We ordered 1 afternoon tea tray, 2 BLT's, smoothie and a ham and cheese croissant. The 3 tiered tea tray came out: 2 macaroons on top tier, middle tier had 1 slice of bacon and a slice of WRAPPED PROCESSED cheese. Bottom tier had our 2 BLT's and a croissant. So we were waiting on the scrambled egg from tea tray and my croissant sand which and smoothie . The pot of tea came out, no sugar or milk. 10 mins pass and I go to counter (which had a big line) and asked for milk, sugar, my sandwich, eggs and smoothie. Said it would be right out. They came and passed my a sandwhich. I realized it was another BLT and not my ham and cheese croissant. Brought to counter and told him wrong sandwich, I ordered the ham and cheese. Sat back down. Smoothie and my correct sandwich about another 10 mins later. Waiting waiting waiting on scrambled eggs. I asked my cousin to go up and ask before I went full Karen lol. She did and they said they are making them now. Came out 5 mins later, at this point my daughters bacon was cold and so was all of our tea. Take away from this: do not get the afternoon tea, just because you made a res, doesn't mean they'll have a table for you. They need more staff and they should not be serving other guests until the guests before them have all their items. Again, nice people but food service was bad. Cute spot decor wise, but won't be going again just for the decor.

Cute little bakery on the Main Street in St.Johns Newfoundland…read more We initial spotted this place because of the sign that read over 300000 fish cakes sold, baked never fried. My husband and I love fish cakes so we had to give them a try. They were cod fish cakes, baked just like the window said. They do sell out fast so call to check if it's available or come earlier in the day. They were really good, a little more on the potato side if that's what you're into, but still delicious. Plus the home made tartar sauce was so good, tasted like they made the mayo fresh. Their baked goods also looked divine. Must try in st.Johns
