With amazing staff, and a fresh/organic eco conscious mindset, this cafe is the epitome of healthy and delicious food. The prices are a tad high (averaging $9 a sandwich) but their creations are delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The bread is home made in house, with choices like beer bread (made from Big Spruce beer), multi grain, whole wheat, white. etc. And the crispest ingredients. And the amazing cheeses. And the sun dried tomato sauce. All of these things add up to amazing sandwiches. The salads and soups change everyday and are also homemade in house. Again, great concoctions. Stand outs are the curried tuna and grilled veggie. The breakfast wraps are also delish! Soooo vegetarian friendly and vegan options too! Their bakery case is always filled with delectables. Raw and vegan truffles are a delight and the cookies are mmmmmm. The flourless cake- unbelievable! AND they serve Just us! coffee. Such a great option! I can not say more about this place. If you are used to the limited options for good food in CB you will understand why I love it here.

Quality is superb and the dish ideas and presentation are supreme. Desserts are claimed to be made in-house and very much taste like it. Service is okay.

They seated us right beside our bar seat (30 minutes later at a table that was never occupied). No one approached us for over an hour. When we said we were leaving because no one spoke to us, the person who made us our drinks argued with me and said she did not know where we went. We went 3 feet from where she served us drinks. Others nearby were served. I asked a waitress who was nearby about a server and she said she would find out who had our table. A few minutes later we saw three servers arguing about who had to serve us. After 30 more minutes we left. I wish we hadn't stopped to pay. It was $43. No tip. No way. Also the sangria sucked. Stay away!!! And what they can do is care and be kind. Also I would give zero stars but I can't so I will give it one star because Nathan MacDonald was singing and he was amazing. Restaurant gets zero stars.

The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

Look. Normally I would not give this type of establishment (casual dining / pub style food) five…read morestars. But between everyone in our group enjoying their food and the excellent services we received from our server Randi - I can't NOT give it five stars. It's not perfect - but our group was very happy overall. We pit stop in Port Hawkesbury after getting off the ferry at Caribou and making our way to Glenora Distillery Inn. This restaurant had the highest reviews of any restaurant in the area. They were able to accommodate our Group of nine including four adults and five kids. The only issue was that their debit and credit machine was down so they accepted cash only. Outside of that - the food and service were excellent. Our server Randi was excellent at checking on allergy issues we had around eggs and nuts. What we ordered: Starters: - Nachos. Solid. Nothing spectacular. Kids menu: - The Works pizza. The kids liked it. It was pretty basic. Thinner crust and looked like oven baked, but again - the kids that had it said "yummy." - Quesadillas. Really good. One of our kids ordered it without peppers. The first order came with peppers. Randi offered to replace it quickly and immediately - and was apologetic about the mix up. This is one of those service moments that gets you a star added or taken away. The customer first attitude and service was top notch. Thank you Randi. Randi also comped a dessert for that kid as well. Adults: - Crab Cakes. My wife really enjoyed them. I had one bite and they are not my thing - but my wife really wanted crab cakes and they delivered on her expectations fully. Good job! - Maple Spinach Salad as a side is Soooooooooo good. Loved it. Get it. - Seafood Chowder was exactly what other reviews said - made with fresh ingredients, super chunky with lots of seafood and not that many potatoes, and was tasty. One of the top two chowders I've had on this trip. - Fish and Chips was MASSIVE. One piece is plenty, but the update to two pieces is a deal. Manage your stomach space accordingly. We had our desserts packed to go, but a couple of bites of the Turtle Cheesecake and Coconut Cream Poe were delicious. Again, max score I would give on these types of places is four stars because I reserve five stars for my favourite places that you can't miss. But all the food was good - and Randi was really excellent. Randi earned this place a five star review.
