When…read morethis place is transitioning from breakfast to lunch the place seemed stop operating and I'm not sure why. When we arrived host told us it would be an xtra wait but the time he was telling people never changed. Food was fine, but the way they were just leaving people hanging at empty tables as wild. A table full of regulars who looked like a team of service guys were joking as they were leaving their breakfast about how the staff was so chaotic and unaware of the customers needs. This stop as about 5x longer than necessary.

Food was good; enjoyed the poutine which was crispy with gravy on top. The seafood linguine was…read moregood and came with mussels, so I probably didn't need to order the mussels appetizer. All of the portions are generous so you definitely will not leave hungry. Service is responsive. The inside is both a bakery and a restaurant; pretty casual.

A little too sweet if you happen to like yours more coffee-y. I had the waffles. My friend had a breakfast plate. It was all super tasty exactly what we needed.

Stopped by here for lunch after hiking Franey. Great food for great value.

Good stop. I was excited about reviews for gf baked goods,…read morethough there were only 2 things to choose from (a crumble and a brownie). I went with the French toast (gf bread). The waitress made sure I knew it was cooked on a shared cooktop (not sure if there were options not to but I'm allergy not celiac so this was ok for me). It was great, very fluffy bread. My boyfriend had a breakfast platter that he devoured. That could be gf too.

Not bad but not worth the hype. If you want pretty good baked goodies and bread at relatively…read morecheaper prices, this is a good stop. Got the apple fritter, crusty roll and molasses loaf to-go. Everything was fine, good to munch on during a roadtrip and didn't break the bank. While I wouldn't go out of my way to pass by here, if you're in the area and craving a treat, you could do worse.

After driving a portion of the Cabot Trail we stopped into Salty Rose's and The Periwinkle Cafe for…read morelunch before turning back to Sydney. What a delight. Located in an old home, it is quaint and clean. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich and due to the size, we decided to split the sandwich which was a good decision. We grabbed our sandwich and waters and headed outside to sit at one of the picnic tables as it was a gorgeous and sunny day. The sandwich was delicious. Fresh and flavorful and the bread was soft. The staff was nice, and the location was excellent. They have a parking lot off to the side with plenty of parking. We highly recommend a stop here along the Cabot Trail.

For example, my snow-crab sandwich was excellent - with plenty of tasty crab meat, and my cappuccino a very good complement.

Ok so you're in the middle of nowhere to go see a miners museum. You roll into what looks like an…read moreold car repair shop, but maps tells you it's a bakery/diner. When you go in, it looks vaguely like a cafeteria from high school. Then you turn the corner and the nice lady slings some of the best donuts on planet Earth at you. Did you buy 2? May as well get 6, it's costs nearly the same. Donut math! I grabbed a shredded coconut donut (basically Germans chocolate cake donut) and the wife grabbed a chocolate walnut bar with a basic sugar coated to go. Top shelf offerings all around. It's a big pet peeve when donut shops make too sweet gimmicky donuts that lack any complexity. Looking directly at you Everglazed in Disney Springs. These guys avoid that while still having some over the top designs and flavors available. Seriously, this place makes no sense. They make Voodoo Doughnut quality donuts(if not better), the people are super nice, and you get a hell of a value on half a dozen. If you're even remotely close, you have to check it out, even if it looks a bit odd from the parking lot.
