It was a bright and sunny August afternoon and we had finished perusing the butterfly garden up the…read morehill. We strolled down through the beautiful gardens to the restaurant perched on the riverbanks. The restaurant does not optimize for volume or turnover and we had a 45 minute wait. We enjoyed the adjoining shop and their selection of jams and spread. The wait was worth it! The room is a bright large room overlooking the river. Handmade quilts hang from the ceiling. We started with nachos, that had the right blend of cheese and toppings. Unfortunately there were no side plates brought, causing us to eat like animals from a common trough. A slight mishap with a spilled glass of water interrupted our otherwise pleasant appetizer. The server's attention was less than prompt causing us to get extra napkins from directly behind the counter. Still, we soldiered on and prepared for the main feast. The seafood chowder was one of the better ones all trip. Fresh and flavourful pieces in a cream broth, served with a fresh side biscuit. The real opportunity is to highlight the delicious jams and spreads from the shop which would add some much needed flavour to the biscuits. Other meals included kids pasta, kids jam sandwich, a club sandwich, fish cakes and a Caesar salad. All were promptly devoured. A great location with fresh food and pleasant service. Worth the wait!

We loved this restaurant so much that we came back more than once during our visit! The staff and…read morerestaurant manager were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The lakeside setting is absolutely picturesque, and the interior is just as beautifully decorated. The food was fresh, full of flavor, and consistently delicious. I also have a dairy allergy, which the kitchen accommodated flawlessly without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Such a wonderful experience all around. Cannot recommend this place enough!

The cappuccino is perfectly creamy and the danish is crispy and puffy inside. Definitely come here if you're in the mood for coffee and baked goods. (Can't speak for the kitchen food)

This was a planned stop for me while in Charlottetown (I was on a trail of Canadian coffee!) and I'm glad I made it. On my first of two visits, there seemed to be a lot of cruise ship passengers, just relaxing from traipsing through Charlottetown, a really fun place to spend time. On an early spring day, the cafe mocha was welcome and the sunny seats outside were clean and comfortable. Second visit a week later, the same delicious drinks, sandwiches, breakfast plates, acai bowls and a short kids menu from which I ordered a "baby bun". Ham, cheese, sourdough? Wasted on kids, it was yum! It's rustic and welcoming, the customer service was pretty good considering all the tourists alongside me, no doubt taxing the baristas' patience! If you find yourself in Charlottetown, make it a stop to relax and recharge with a drink and a snack!

Stopped by to grab brunch while I was in downtown Charlottetown for a musical since this place had…read moregood reviews and I'd never had a savoury french toast before. The mochaccino and savoury french toast were very high quality (came out to around $27ish for both after tip). The caramelized onions and cheese on the french toast alongside the maple syrup made for a very good sweet and savoury flavour kick -- if you don't eat much, you could definitely share since I had trouble finishing it! The mochaccino was also not too sweet and had a good balance between coffee and chocolate, I could see why it was so busy on a Sunday morning so come early if you can :) There's a variety of seating (outdoor and by the fireplace as well) and the ambiance was lively.

Lots of lettuce and had tomatoes and pickles too. Sundried tomato mayo and havarti cheese as well. Everything was perfectly balanced. The maple danish was so good. Like a dark/amber maple syrup.

Hubs had the full bacon and egg breakfast and he was very happy with it. He loved the toast. They are a good value place-the food is reasonably priced for its value. My everything bagel with bacon, egg and garlic herb cream cheese was good. My mocha was very good and they didn't blink an eye when I asked for more plain coffee. I have a thing about places that don't do this. So I was very happy. Very busy in the morning because, I think, the willow bakery across the street is nothing to write home about. Or review. So.....I won't. Not many non-chain places to eat here so you'll probably end up here if you want a good breakfast

It is a hot spot for both locals and tourist alike, a community of coffee lovers and warm smiles. With 3 main locations in Charlottetown there is always something for everyone. This was my first time at the Milky Way Location as it's further out of town and boy it did NOT disappoint! Went with a friend for an early Saturday morning breakfast and catch up and the bright airy space of this spot was lovely. It is the main roastery and bakery so lots of buzz. It was great to see the people and crowd slowly make their way to get some Saturday caffeine and grub. All the locations sell amazing sourdough and baked items, and today they had an amazing chocolate cheesecake croissant. While the food is similar across locations, they all feature some twists and different weekly specials.... And this is what really got us in to Milky Way this week.... The Biscoff waffles were WOWOWOWOOWOW I want these AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!! LOADED with thick chocolate, fresh whipped cream, and cinnamon biscoff cookie bites.. these were a DREAM!!!
