So we drove all the way out to Bear River ... only to find this place closed (even though their hours said they were open). :( Looked (from the outside) like a lovely place. We ended up driving to Annapolis Royal for dinner.

I've always found Joann and Terry to be welcoming (but when busy I understand; not easy running a multi-faceted shop single-handedly!). Very comfy, laid-back and a great place to escape the world's pressures for a few moments. The chocolates and treats are delicious and a standout in Annapolis Royal; a local treasure!

This shop is in a sweet location, just past the farmers market and next to a playground…read more There are also two picnic tables on the side, a table in the back overlooking the ocean and two adirondack chairs in the front. The inside of the shop is interesting, but feels a little bit musty and dusty. There was a small selection of chocolates and a few cakes out. We ordered a piece of almond bark and a slice of carrot cake, both were good.

This homemade stew was devoured in minutes. The coffee was sipped and cherished. Also, had a nice chat with the staff member behind the counter about the changes in Hampton and the local art scene. All in all a good experience. There are grilled cheese sandwiches and other deserts and tidbits that I will take advantage of on future visits. Yes, I will be coming here more often during this visit. Oh, don't forget to visit the yoga studio next door. I haven't done yoga for years. However, if I were to stay longer, I'd definitely come here.

At first they seemed to know what they were doing, but now their staff don't even seem to know how to use the espresso machine. They don't know any authentic specialty coffees (a macchiato, americano...) Mix that with incredibly rude replies. My order has been wrong there every. single. time. My partner just paid 7.50 for a small drip coffee. Not only was that not even close to what he ordered, they insisted that it was and that it was the correct price. The wait is long, the servers want you to know you are not worth their time, and the cafe items are high priced and mid-ling quality.

Very minor gripe- I would have liked to have been offered a refill on my coffee. The location is a bit out of the way, and the place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is great, filled with local art work and beautiful wooden tables with stones embedded in them. There's also live music over the lunch hour most days which is a nice treat. I might suggest they get a new high chair, as the one available didn't have a harness to secure my squirmy little one... There was a tempting selection of baked goods on offer as well, and they also had a good selection of single portion frozen meals you could take home with you. Definitely one of my favourite lunch spots when visiting the area!
