Had a delightful experience with freshly brewed coffee and baked goods that promise perfection in every sip and bite. Conveniently located it’s easily accessible, especially for visitors to the nearby Cape Breton Regional Hospital.

Prices we're very reasonable for the speciality ice coffee. The lemon and Boston cream pie was very delicious.

Love this coffee shop- The food, the service, the atmosphere- all 5 stars!!! (My only complaint would be the 'to-go' coffee cup lids- coffee seems to seep out of them more than other lids- but the owners assure me they are on the hunt for better cups/lids, so what more can you ask for? Love this place.
