Bridgewater has a few really good eateries - none are more satisfying than Fancy Pants…read more When I'm going to be good to myself and want quality food prepared with taste and health as priority - this is where I go. They're not after everyone / but they certainly provide me with satisfying nourishment as I move about my day. If I am not going to make the effort this time to prepare my own food this is my go to first choice. It's also where I go if I want not only great taste and nourishment but Opperators and staff who remember you and some of your favorite items. I'm often shooting images and running off to a meeting and there's not much time to make a meal. This is where I go to treat myself - it's something I do to celebrate being generally healthy and mobile. I've never been let down - and I can give you a list of places that have. You shouldn't need a pic of my last meal here - what I think you need is to realize if I'm spending this much time on a review - perhaps you need to see what I'm on about. Good luck ! Now where did I put my camera ?

So a gal pal took me here for lunch for my birthday... And the pictures do speak for themselves…read more.. At first we thought its a bit pricey for a sandwich but it was a special treat after all Very busy location but you can eat outside which was lovely And it was great to be in the company of a very beautiful person who treated me for lunch Highly recommend the BLT or the ham and swiss sandwich ..yes you can tell the difference of a quality sandwich... And we had Black Bean Brownie and a date square just to finish off... With nice sourdough bread... It was filling to the point I only had a snack for supper time Will definitely be back... really delicious ..great stuff plenty of options...very hippie groovy type vibe inside Lots of options to eat outside or walk down to the park and eat there by the water I highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy delicious sandwich choice Can't pick a favourite dessert.. but will say they Ham.n Swiss was probably my favourite sammie Easy location to get to once you come over the bridge and lots of parking I tell you.. you will feel healthy eating here even the desserts lol

I will start by saying that I can absolutely appreciate the impact of the pandemic on restaurants…read more Having said that, putting up posters claiming that there's a 'labour shortage' is just bad practice. Had we noticed that prior to ordering, we would have walked out. We were pretty hungry from driving on our road trip and wanted a decent sit down meal and found pretty good reviews for this place. Upon ordering, it was immediately clear why there was a 'labour shortage' for this owner. The person taking our order at the counter (no table service currently), was the most surly old hag I've ever met. If I wasn't already so hangry and didn't have to wait another hour for one of the other restaurants to open, I would have walked right out. She was crotchety and just seemed generally angry to have to be doing any work at her own establishment. It's really too bad because the food was pretty good here but we couldn't get past how awful of a person this owner was. When the one and only staff member came out to ask us how our meal was, we had to ask if that lady was the owner and what her problem was. We told her that we were surprised anyone would run their business like that and she agreed by shaking her head but almost afraid to say anything. I really regret coming here and would not recommend it solely on the terrible attitude of the owner and the very obvious horrible working conditions for staff working here.

The crepes were absolutely amazing! Although it is very confusing because we walked into an empty…read moreplace and the person behind the counter said nothing. We had to ask if we should sit down or not. We ordered and we were only told our total not spoken to at all. I also never got my drink but was too afraid to say anything. I would definitely come back for the crepes though!

Dear Yelp, Quaint little cafe, updated and modern. Prices…read morewere reasonable. Got a cookie, muffin, water, hot chocolate and latte for $24ish USD. Everything tasted wonderful.

Margaret's is a beautiful cafe housed within a historical home passed down through generations of…read morefishermen since the 1800s. I've heard about its famous chowder, apparently is a must try. Unfortunately I was too full after the lobster rolls so I only got a latte to go. The coffee was smooth, creamy and balanced. I enjoyed it, though it was definitely in the pricier side without being an artisanal/specially-crafted drink. That said, I'd love to come back again to try it chowder and other treats. They did look fantastic. The cafe got a rustic, pristine vibe but was newly renovated & super clean & organized. Very very relaxing vibe and I wished that I had enough time & a book to sit in (or outside) of the cafe. The service was friendly.

Had a Reuben sandwich - very large and filling with fries (the frozen kind). Good value for Chester. You order at the counter and they bring out the food.

At last! Good coffee between Tantallon and Chester…read more This cafe serves very good coffee, nice pastries, and does a good egg and bacon sandwich. It's roomy and funky inside. There's a small but lovely deck with picnic tables that look down over Hubbards Cove. The parking lot is small, but it's easy to park along the road here. The staff are really nice; there's a big box of toys for kids, and they're going to try to stay open year-round (I heard mulled cider is planned). A pretty spot like Hubbards needed a cafe like this.

Perfect little coffee spot in picturesque Hubbard's, NS…read more New to the community, Hubbard's Cove Coffee has a gorgeous view, adorable folk art decor and delicious treats. We were greeted with a friendly hello as soon as we walked in by the sweet last behind the cash, as well as the owner Haley. On the menu for vegans is soy milk, a veg panini and oatcakes but the owner said she's working on expanding the vegan options soon. I got a Misty Mint which was mint tea, chocolate and soy milk and an oatcake which were both delicious. My friends had the vegan panini and both said it was delicious too. They have two comfortable couches, a couple of a cute tables and some outdoor seating which has a gorgeous view. I Iove the adorable folk art all over the cafe, particularly the cat coasters. The owner is so sweet and she said she's working on more vegan options and props for knowing about The Vegan Peach and HappyCow.net. I will definitely stop by again when I'm down that way.

This little gem is located between Lunenburg and Mahone Bay. Everything is homemade - from breads…read moreto baking. You can custom order your breakfast/lunch. I had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and egg on chive bread with homemade tomato jam and my hubby had a freshly made omelette. We took two cinnamon buns to go! This is an absolute must stop - normally I am not even a breakfast fan The employees were lovely and the ambience was warm and welcoming!

Hi! WELL, what a pleasant surprise! A new Restaurant…read morethat sprung up! We arrived just as they closed, haha... but they let us in to chat and buy some of their DELICIOUS baking... Which is ALL made from scratch!! All their Breads are home made and NOT brought in, like at the Rose Bistro down the road.... The owner of this "Hungry Traveler" and their staff are warm and kind people! There is outside Patio Seating, TONS of Parking, and it's at: 10117 Highway 3... Phone: 902-518-2535 .... It's on the way to the Rose Bistro, [which we will NEVER patronize again]... Their menu is "All Day Breakfast"... and Sandwich type Brunch! They also cater trays... They have a "Build your OWN" Breakfast... The place is seemingly serene... [with none of the 'out of control' kids or over-crowding, like at that Rose Bistro down the road]... Their food offerings are cheaper and budget friendly....And they do not 'push you through' to get to the next customer, like the Bistro... The Brunch Sandwiches look amazing... and we intend to eat our way through their menu offerings!! The Sandwiches are decent sized... with HOME-MADE Bread!! We are going back for their Vietnamese Sandwich... It's traditional, right down to the marinated Chicken, Pickled Daikon & Carrot Slaw, fresh Cilantro etc.... The Curried Chicken looks great, and so does the Vegan Mashed Buffalo Chick Peas... It will be hard to decide what to eat after the Vietnamese Sandwich for sure!!! And the place is immaculate! The "Hungry Traveler" has our attention and our cash! Reading between the lines, you can probably tell we had just experienced "A Brunch from hell" at the Rose Bistro down the road... screaming/crying kids...Parents ignoring the bad behavior, some were running around... ...We grabbed our cutlery and water and went outside... We DIDN'T enjoy our meal which cost around $48.00 ... We had some nice times there, but are fed up with the WILDLIFE... this was a BOMB...and we will never return.

I was first introduced to the amazing baked wares of the LaHave Bakery many, many years ago when I…read morehad a sandwich at the River Pub in Bridgewater that was made with their Herb & Cheese Buns. It was love at first bite. A number of their breads are actually available in the HRM in the health food section of the major grocery chains which is great for those of us who love their breads but can't always justify a road trip to get them. If you're on a road trip along the beautiful LaHave River drop by their little cafe and bakery and spend a few minutes talking to the friendly shop keepers. In addition to their breads and buns they also offer sandwiches and sweet treats like biscotti and oatcakes (yum!) and various coffees. On Fridays and Saturdays during the summer they also have a canteen available with hamburgers, etc.
