Accommodating and extremely friendly folks with excellent hand pies!…read more We are traveling on three east coast on NS, where each and every town has its signature flavor and feel, whee Mahone Bay is no different. It was mid-day, where a snack was needed to get us to dinner time, and Yelp to the rescue again. A quick search turned up Famous Town Pie Shop, and what an excellent choice this was in more ways than one. It turns out Yelp's hours of operation for this place are wrong, so we showed up just as they were closing. Being the chubby Merkans that we are, I tried the door handle and they were still open (thankfully). We were greeted with favor though as the nice staff welcomed us to try the last pies of the day. I asked for them to surprise me with whatever was available and settled on two savory pies. Uh-mazing! It had been a while since I'd last had a really good savory pie, and good ones are most certainly not available in the Southeastern U.S. of A, so this experience was amplified a bit. The crust was spot-on, the fillings were flavorful, and the portion size definitely is large enough for most North Americans. Once we scarfed down the pies outside, the owner came outside and gave us some outstanding recommendations on NS and excellent conversation. I would visit this place in a heartbeat again if we are ever in the area. This is one of those little gems that we love stumbling upon in our travels.

Gluten free friends let it be known that this is the spot for you!…read morePlenty of amazing options including gf poutine and French toast.

I was pleasantly surprised at the modern look given that it's fairly rural and adjacent to a service station. Although I had tea, I did notice a wide range of coffee choices on the board, enough to satisfy any urban visiter. The menu is extensive and I have to give a shout out to the full page gluten-free menu. I just had a breakfast sandwich since they had no pastries or muffins, which in itself is odd for a coffee shop. The sandwich was good but nothing the write home about, however the menu had some great looking dishes so I'll definitely be back. Service was very friendly but maybe a bit slow given there was only two tables being served. However, I was on vacation so I should lighten up. I'm giving it a 3 for now but I feel like there is potential here and I hope to justify a higher rating after my next visit.

My husband and I took his uncle and aunt out for lunch at Memories and overall the food was good…read more It's a cafe where you order and pay at the counter. Then they give you a number to place at your table. Once your food is ready, they bring it to your table. It was my husband's and my first time there, but my husband's uncle and aunt are regulars. They had their usual orders, which were the Club Sandwich ($8.50) and the BLT ($6.25) I got the Fish Cakes with Chow Chow and a side garden salad ($11.95). My husband got the Chicken Curry "Panini" (either $8.95 or $9.95, I forget). The sandwiches do not come with sides. My fish cakes were quite good. They were a little more potatoes than fish, but still flavourful and tasty. It was my first time having chow chow (which I've been told is a very Nova Scotian thing) and I would describe it as a green tomato relish. It went well with the fish cakes. The side salad was mostly romaine lettuce with some cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and grated cheese. The dressing was a creamy ranch. The salad was nothing special IMO, but ingredients were at least fresh. My husband's "Panini" was more of a grilled sandwich, as the bread was sliced sandwich bread and not the bread one usually associates with panini. It was pressed in a grill though. He liked it, but it looked too mayonnaise-y for me, lol. My husband's aunt and uncle enjoyed their sandwiches. Staff were friendly and the place has a relaxed cafe atmosphere. There aren't that many places to eat out in Liverpool (NS), but Memories seems to be one of the more popular places. There's free parking in the town lot, by the information centre, which is really close by (well, everything in Liverpool is close by, lol, but you can literally see the cafe from the parking lot).

I've tried them all, in Lunenburg, including the new Barn. Hands down Number Nine is the most awesome espresso and coffee in the coolest space. Lovely barristas.

Highly recommend this third-wave coffee joint. Don't miss it if you come to Lunenburg! In a historic old grey house. Sometimes a line-up, but it's worth it, so chat with others while you wait and relax.
