Please note that their hours on Yelp say 6am - 10am, but it's really 7:30am - 6pm Mon. - Sat., and 8:30am - 4pm on Sun. They have a fairly large space inside and it's very modern looking and clean. There were 3 ladies working behind the coffee bar, and they all seemed very nice and customer-service oriented. I ordered a 12 oz pumpkin spice latte with almond milk and it was over $7, which I thought was a bit pricey, therefore the 4 stars instead of 5. Their coffee is very good though, just expensive.

Parking is weird in the area and out front is only 15 minutes, so don't park there as you'll want to spend time inside. An amazing bookstore with all of the best locally-published books but also a cafe. Nice and quaint with great seating in the main area and a few tables in the back space. Service was absolutely wonderful and friendly. Great vibe and great atmosphere. Opted for the vegan Jamaican patty to share which was an excellent choice besides not realizing we each should have gotten our own! They serve great coffee by south shore's Laughing Whale Coffee Roasters. The food case is limited but options are delicious. An absolute must-stop if you're looking for really good coffee and really good books.

On Sunday morning went to Izzy's to get a breakfast sandwich and a few bagels for the week. It is…read morealways busy but my server was very distracted by another server who just came on shift.

The food menu is fantastic offering a selection of sandwiches, paninis, salads, sweet treats / baked treats and a soup of the day. The tea menu is vast offing over 10 different flavors of tea. They serve both medium and dark roast organic coffee and a variety of coffee drinks (iced, espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc). Smoothies are also available and you can get protein added for a small price addition. If I had to recommend a specific item on the menu id say go for a Chicken Parmesan or Turkey Bacon Club panini with a side Quinoa salad, along with a dark roast coffee. If it wasn't for Nu Café, I'd have to leave Sackville for my coffee fix. Thank you Nu Café for your wonderful addition to Sackville!

It'll be well worth it!

It can be tricky to get to if you're not used to all the traffic circles and how they work here in the Larry Uteck area. The menu is small and simple, which could be either good or bad depending on your tastes. The prices are quite high, especially considering the portion sizes of the drinks compared to other coffee chains (everything is pretty small). I wanted a decaf iced coffee, but they weren't super accommodating so I went with regular and it tasted pretty good. The service is very slow, and the staff operate like they are on Island time without a care in the world. At least the staff's lack of stress, pressure and drive to get things done gives the place a relaxing ambience. Just as well, because your order's gonna be a while.

It's definitely one of the best looking Starbucks in town. Tody when I came to this Starbucks in an intense rainstorm, as I opened the front door, the wind just yanked the door open taking my hand with it and crushing it... so I ended up with a nasty looking burst vein with swelling and bruising. The staff were immediately kind enough to offer me ice and as I sat down, the very friendly and personable manager came over to make sure it was all documented etc. I got offered some more coffee and the manager asked me if I wanted it made with the Clover. What's a "Clover"? I asked.. Since I recently moved here from Seattle (Starbucks' hometown), I thought I knew pretty much all the new stuff up Starbucks' sleeve. Well it seems the Clover is a one of a kind coffee machine which works like a reverse french press, extracting much more flavor from coffee beans than regular brewing....and this Starbucks location as the only one in town!(since only 200 or so a year are manufactured). I must admit the flavor the Clover produces is really amazing, and Iwas surprised that it wasn't advertised more prominently as an option. It is, after all, only 30c extra to have your coffee brewed using this awesome machine. I think the best testimony to the Clover is how passionate all the staff are about it!
