    View of the water while working from Battery Cafe.

    This cozy cafe overlooking the water and right on the path to Signal Hill was one of my favorite places for lattes and breakfast food while I was staying at St. John's for a month during the summer of 2023. Friendly service, tasty vegetarian breakfast sandwiches and delicious iced lattes. I spent time there working on my laptop as well (some seats have access to outlets) and never felt rushed by anyone on the staff. Overall, my favorite coffee joint in the city!

    Best lattes in St. Johns. Try the brown sugar latte. So smooth and delicious. Nice selection of snacks as well.

    Hip, but not annoyingly so. Great tables near outlets for study spaces, with free wifi, and the battery brownie was decent too.

    At the bottom of signal hill, it's on the way from a hike, and not too far out of the way if you want to pick a coffee up on the way to work.

    Let me start by saying very nice people who work there, not sure if they are the owners or not…read more BUT... will not go again or recommend to others. We made reservations, but when we got there was no reservations. We were given the only available table, which was for 2 people , there were 4 of us. We ordered 1 afternoon tea tray, 2 BLT's, smoothie and a ham and cheese croissant. The 3 tiered tea tray came out: 2 macaroons on top tier, middle tier had 1 slice of bacon and a slice of WRAPPED PROCESSED cheese. Bottom tier had our 2 BLT's and a croissant. So we were waiting on the scrambled egg from tea tray and my croissant sand which and smoothie . The pot of tea came out, no sugar or milk. 10 mins pass and I go to counter (which had a big line) and asked for milk, sugar, my sandwich, eggs and smoothie. Said it would be right out. They came and passed my a sandwhich. I realized it was another BLT and not my ham and cheese croissant. Brought to counter and told him wrong sandwich, I ordered the ham and cheese. Sat back down. Smoothie and my correct sandwich about another 10 mins later. Waiting waiting waiting on scrambled eggs. I asked my cousin to go up and ask before I went full Karen lol. She did and they said they are making them now. Came out 5 mins later, at this point my daughters bacon was cold and so was all of our tea. Take away from this: do not get the afternoon tea, just because you made a res, doesn't mean they'll have a table for you. They need more staff and they should not be serving other guests until the guests before them have all their items. Again, nice people but food service was bad. Cute spot decor wise, but won't be going again just for the decor.

    This cafe is located in downtown St. John's. The pastries are delicious and the decor is very cute!read more
