    Best chai I've had on the island and very friendly staff! They have both indoor and outdoor seating available.

    an omelet, toast, and fruit

    We had the omelettes here over the weekend. I had mushroom and onions with Brie and orange raisin toast, my husband had mushroom,spinach and onion with cheddar and potato toast. Both the versions of omelets were very flavorful. The orange raisin toast was outstanding and went very well with their raspberry jam. Potato bread was very soft and had subtle flavor and went well with the orange marmalade. Friendly and respectful staff, must try.

    Some of the crispiest fish cakes you will ever have!

    The kiwi cafe is the breakfast and lunch "CHEERS" of Chester. The place where everyone knows your name! From the warm and inviting staff to the local patrons who frequent the establishment, you will fall in love, just as we have, with this place. The Kiwi has a charming atmosphere with consistently delicious food. The staff is attentive and are always happy to accommodate. They also have a wonderful pantry for grab and go fresh and frozen meals, fresh baked goods, as well as house wares, supporting local artisans. Some of my favourites include the fish cakes, eggs benny, and if you are lucky enough to be there on a day they are featuring Huevos rancheros, you will not be disappointed! I can't say enough about this place.

    Sooo good!

    What a great little cafe/restaurant! We stopped here after working at a wedding in Oak Island, we both ordered a wrap and coffee and the service, food and price was perfect! I had the Thai wrap which was the right amount of spicy, also the salad served with it was also delish. A bit plain with nothing on it but the dressing was enough! Going to have to take a day trip up for some breakfast in the coming weeks!

    This was my first and last visit to kiwi cafe. I ordered the Greek chicken wrap and had asked for a side salad. The individual on the phone asked whether I meant the house salad and I said yes I was expecting a wrap with chunks of chicken, maybe seasoned with some Greek marinade or spices. The wrap instead contained thinly sliced deli chicken, similar to lunch meat. The salad consisted of mainly pieces of cut up romaine lettuce. That was it. Not sure how that can constitute a salad. I wrote the business on Facebook and was simply told that their menu states that sandwiches are accompanied by a mixed greens salad. I would be embarrassed to serve that and call it a salad/side The only satisfying part of the meal Was the salad dressing. I will not be back and would not recommend people spend close to 20 dollars on such a disappointing meal

    The Kiwi Cafe is located in downtown Chester. It is a small restaurant with great appeal. When you walk in you will be taken back with the bright colors of green and orange and blue. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It is a great place to sit and have a coffee with one of the best brownies we have tasted. We like to hot chocolate as well. All the food is homemade with daily specials. There is an outside patio for the summer. Take a gander at the board where you will find different events they hold at the restaurant. I am quite sure that the owner has something on the menu that you will like and the staff is excellent.

    Awesome desserts

    Great all day breakfast place. We shared two sandwiches, the caramelized pear arugula Brie panini on orange raisin bread and a tomato havarti panini with grilled chicken and basil mayo. We also had a lemon square and a coconut brownie. The food and dessert were so good, we will definitely do the drive again. I was warned by the waitress that their store gets very busy in the summer.

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!

    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.
