I really liked the fish cake but one is never enough. It was mostly fish rather than the other stuff. I recommend both the soup and especially the fish cakes ($4.49 each in 2023). There is free WiFi so you can browse through your phone rather than talking to your guests if so desired. It's quite large inside so even if the parking lot is full there probably a table waiting for you. Washrooms were large and clean. The service was genuine and pleasant. We ordered dessert which we rarely do but the descriptions were enticing. I felt compelled to taste at least one of them. I really can't think of any negatives. Even the prices were quite reasonable. Well they were a bit high for the dessert but that's to discourage excessive eating. . If you are reading this you've probably already decided to eat here so enjoy.

Incredibly scenic setting. Just look at the pictures. It's an iconic fishing harbour with one restaurant. Not touristy at all. All unstained wood. The cafe itself is quintessential Newfoundland simplicity. A must stop on the Irish Loop. Less than 20 minutes from St. John's...if you don't get lost. Most folks here come from town.

International friends, the coffee is rich, aromatic, but not overly bitter or acidic. Perfect mix to settle in either indoors or at one of a few tables outside, and enjoy a weekend afternoon. Only complaint is that it's only open weekends but a little bird has told me that this might be changing come May 2017. Fingers crossed!

I waited while they made a fresh urn, and they must have done something wrong because the 'coffee' that we were served was coffee-scented hot water. I've never dumped a coffee before this one. Oh, and don't bother with the bathrooms - there is no light switch and so the bathrooms are completely dark once you shut the door. The baking did look yummy. The place was otherwise cute. But DO NOT go here for coffee.

Several nights a week this operates as a restaurant called Fork with a different menu. Smells like bacon at lunch. Clean, bright, spotless and incredible view. Across the bay from ecological reserve for puffins - hoping to see some fly by! :) Friendly service, helpful with allergies. Perhaps a bit absentminded. Everything seems to be scratch made including the desserts. Naturally given the aroma there was a lot of bacon ordered at our table. Tasty BLT on fresh bread. Tangy lemon coconut square. Edit: washrooms - must deposit used toilet paper into a garbage can. Foot pedal on the garbage can does not work so you must use your hands to open it.

I appreciate that the sandwich isn't overly saucy, making it easier to eat on the go without a mess. Between the two options, I prefer the bagel as the cream cheese adds a satisfying bite and makes it less dry compared to the chicken sandwich. This restaurant is located in a house at the corner of the street, with two patio sections on either side. When you walk in, it appears cozy with limited seating. However, if you walk to the right through the door, there is ample seating next door and a self-serve water station.
