We were warned that the meal would take a while, but in fact we were seated fairly quickly, and served our drinks almost immediately, and seriously, the meal itself really didn't take that long. The food was excellent. I had the chicken wrap and my wife had the hamburger, and in particular the burger was good, huge, and came on an excellent roll. We sat outside with a view of the river. Partcular kudos to the server, who, despite being overworked, was friendly and efficient, and even found a few moments to chat with everyone. Just an all-around nice meal.

The cold brew Sissiboo coffee was fantastic! We ended up not staying for lunch, BUT the salad, veggie burger and homemade quiche all looked great! I also noticed they offered the tiniest cheesecakes. Perfect for people who only want a little bit when it comes to dessert! We liked this place so much, we're planning to circle back around at the end of our trip!

At first, this village looks dull and sleepy, but things are happening in Bear River. Residents are looking inwards to agriculture and local talent rather than outwards to tourists for economic stimulation. One example can be seen in the Flight of Fancy art gallery, which features local and provincial artists, and another can be seen in Sissiboo Coffee Roasters. The unique name 'Sissiboo' was derived from the Sissiboo River in southwest Nova Scotia. This river was named by a Loyalist settler who mistook a Mik'maq who was pointing out six owls ('six hiboux') instead of pointing out the river. Stupid colonialists. Based in the historic 'Rebekah' building, Sissiboo was started three years ago by Erin Schopfer and Jon Welch. After many years of analysing and learning about the coffee industry, Erin and Jon made the careful decision to launch a micro roastery in their hometown. Jon checks each batch by eye, hand, and smell at least four times during his roasting process - a process that is applied to each seven-pound batch. Each batch has an individual roasting time which has to be explicitly followed, a few seconds too long and the batch takes on an undesired flavour. This is different from most roasters, which employ laptops and software and crazy expensive machines to monitor their beans. Erin and Jon do not yet have a storefront or café, but I think this is a no-brainer for their brainchild. I have tried three of their roasts: Fundy Storm (Peru, dark), Tobeatic Wild (Guatemala, medium), and Fly by Night Decaf (Peru, swiss water, medium). I did not like the lack of body and bitter finish of the Tobeatic Wild at all, but Fundy Storm is great as both a dark pourover or espresso. They do, for your information, have an espresso roast as well called Night Owl!

Awesome friendly service .

Then the lunch sandwiches were all just a little different, and the staff were happy to make even more options. I mean a scallop roll with some bacon. Anyway, I ended up with a wonderful chicken salad wrap with a little bacon. I recommend it. In addition to the salads, sandwiches, and wraps, they have a great breakfast menu, and all sorts of home baked goodies. We took a variety with us and each is was really really tasty. This is the kind of cafe you wish was in your neighborhood because I sure wish we did. Make an effort to give it a try, you will be very happy you did.

I gotta tell you, after two weeks of eating all over ME & NS, this place gave me the best meal I had. The fresh ingredients and flavor combinations in the sandwiches were so well balanced, the richness of the cheese with the acidity of the aioli, and the cranberry sourdough was the proverbial icing on the cake. The chowder truly had great depth, and the seafood was fresh. I was too late getting back into Yarmouth to catch them before they closed, but I'll be back the next time we visit. Truly, thank you for the love you showed your food.

I started with the cup of seafood chowder which was really a bowl. he broth was perfect and the mix of seafood impressive. It was a great starter. I tried the Rappie Pie because when in NS.... It was OK but not really my cup of team. The quality of the dish was excellent but it was my first taste of it - at the encouragement of mom - and it just didn't work for me. I doubt it would work for me anywhere so I wouldn't ding them for this dish which is an Acadian classic. I finished with the Swedish Apple pie which was also amazing. I would definitely recommend a stop at Red Cap if you are in the area. There was one server - as bast as I could tell - and she was so pleasant and attentive. She did a great job!

Probably one of the best, freshest seafoods Ive ever had. Absolutely delicious and spectacular. While we are on the subject we had extremely, friendly, great customer service. The restaurant is very homey, clean, and tight. I had the seafood chowder - so good. And Fish and Chips - awesome. And I washed it down with a nice Canadian draft brew. My GF had the seafood platter (clams, oysters, all that stuff) and she really liked it. Oh, yeah. Big tyme, big time. I saw someone gave a one star review. Disregard / overlook that. Its not credible.

I was with a large group, we brought wine with us and wine glasses were brought to the table immediately, along with ice water and warm rolls. I ordered the haddock, those around me went with scallops, mussels and seafood chowder and everything was fresh and delicious. My only suggestion is with the vegetable side, which appears to always be peas and carrots...I guess I would check in with the customer on that when ordering. I had no idea that peas and carrots were automatic, I don't eat cooked carrots, and they could have been saved for another customer. Dessert was a BIG hit with the group. Three ordered GIGANTIC slices of coconut cream pie and one, a most perfect slice of strawberry rhubarb with cold house made vanilla ice cream slowly melting on the top. Overall, a lovely night. A comfortable restaurant, where you can dress up if you wish, or not, with extremely fresh seafood prepared excellently.
