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.

I was confused by this until I realized only a shell would realistically cause that. Swear I saw a hair, too. The potatoes were excessively bland. The bacon wasn't appetizing. I did love the toast, though! Service is terrible. The workers claimed it was because someone called off, but there was still no less than three or four of them in a place with around a dozen tables. They were all nice, but way too scattered. I probably spent 20 minutes longer here than I should have. Location: 4* Convenience: 1* Service: 1* Product/quality: 1* Aesthetics: 1*

Quality is superb and the dish ideas and presentation are supreme. Desserts are claimed to be made in-house and very much taste like it. Service is okay.

We went to the location not on the waterfront tonight. They said there would be a 30 minutes wait…read more So, we had a drink at the bar. They seated us right beside our bar seat (30 minutes later at a table that was never occupied). No one approached us for over an hour. When we said we were leaving because no one spoke to us, the person who made us our drinks argued with me and said she did not know where we went. We went 3 feet from where she served us drinks. Others nearby were served. I asked a waitress who was nearby about a server and she said she would find out who had our table. A few minutes later we saw three servers arguing about who had to serve us. After 30 more minutes we left. I wish we hadn't stopped to pay. It was $43. No tip. No way. Also the sangria sucked. Stay away!!! And what they can do is care and be kind. Also I would give zero stars but I can't so I will give it one star because Nathan MacDonald was singing and he was amazing.

The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

On our way out of a the sleepy village of Ingonish, we stopped off at the Bean Barn to get breakfast to go. Instead, we sat down to eat a solid breakfast.

We chose this restaurant based on the location of our hotel, keep in mind there aren't many options around. I think this was also the reason this restaurant was busy! The grilled scallop burger was the best dish of the night! The seafood platter was mediocre, nothing special. It had calamari, fries, shrimp, oysters, and haddock... maybe more? I can't recall. The clam chowder was not it. It wasn't creamy like the clam chowder I'm used to and was the worst dish of the night. The biscuit was okay, not buttery enough in my opinion. The lobster roll was mediocre. It was my first time trying lobster rolls and my expectations were way higher as many people love them! I'm not sure if it's because there wasn't enough sauce or the sauce just wasn't that tasty. We also subbed the fries for a caesar salad and were charged the price of an extra caesar salad ($9) rather than just an added substitute price. The milkshakes were great! The vanilla milkshake tasted like french vanilla ice cream and the strawberry milkshake was also really good. A bit small for the price. Overall, wouldn't visit again. The view is great though!

The interior is quite claustrophobic, but there are tables set up outside giving the opportunity to enjoy the open air. While the coffee and hot chocolate we ordered was fine, the breakfast sandwiches were phenomenal. It is a quite limited menu, but they make the most of the options available for food. It was fairly busy when we stopped in which leads me to believe this is a pretty frequently visited early morning stop, and I can definitely see why. It gives you everything you need to wake up and get moving for the day.
