Rocket Bakery & Fresh Food is a charming French-inspired bakery and cafe located in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. This locally owned establishment offers a delightful array of gourmet prepared foods for both dine-in and takeout. Known for its delicious homemade offerings, Rocket Bakery serves up everything from fresh-baked breads and pastries to hearty soups and sandwiches, all made with care.
A must-stop for a casual breakfast or lunch when in St. John's. Don't pass on trying the delicious fish cakes. While I prefer mustard pickles with mine, the tartar sauce was tasty. I also tried the schnecke - croissant pastry with coconut, honey, and lemon curd. Quite sweet and sticky, but great with a cup of coffee. There are so many delicious-looking baked goods, salads, and more at Rocket Bakery - Water Street. The cafe is eclectic Newfoundland, fun and friendly. Lots of seating on a weekday morning. Friendly staff, too. There's an all-day menu, a vegan lunch menu, and a gluten-free menu to help you choose. I go every time I'm in town. P.S. If you're watching the latest season of Reacher on Amazon Prime, you will recognize the filming location on Water Street. 😃

Natasha K — Google review
We had to wait for the truck to come in with the food we should’ve known better does that means fish cakes were made elsewhere? Well we had them; they were microwave hot with that characteristic steamy soft texture. They were very salty not edible. The cinnamon bun had the appearance of a Tim Hortons apple fritter. It seemed to be a baking powder /baking soda and not yeast base; not a lot of flavour. lThe cheese onion scone was not crisp but at least it was edible.

The Battery Cafe, located in the heart of St. John's, is a charming retreat for coffee aficionados and food lovers. With its warm and welcoming ambiance, this beloved establishment offers an array of expertly prepared coffee drinks and delectable bites that capture the essence of the local scene. Whether you're seeking a cozy spot to catch up with friends, a peaceful corner for some alone time, or a picturesque setting to start your day with stunning views, The Battery Cafe has it all.
Had to try it while in St. John’s and before my walk to Signal Hill. Got the kicker breakfast wrap which was good and a Matcha latte. Unfortunately not much places to sit inside so had to sit outside in the patio while it was cold and wet post rain..

Came for breakfast! The cafe has a $10 early bird special for a breakfast sandwich and coffee (savings of around $2 for the combo). I think the addition of sausage or bacon to the sandwich added an extra $0.50. In the main counter area, seating looks limited, but they have extensive seating in another room down some steps, with a view of the water too. The sandwich had a homemade feel and I liked the sausage. Coffee served in a large mug. A nice way to start the morning with simple breakfast fare and friendly service.

Many people suggested this place as a must-visit when in St John's. During my visit, I found the place to be unique but quite pricey. I tried their lunch combo (potato and leek soup and a sandwich) and it was tasty but not as filling as a typical lunch would be. In any case, if you like to visit local places with historical significance, you'd like this place.
Jerry R — Google review
Food options are delicious, love that they have a smoked tomato substitute for the smoked salmon, and the veggie wrap is tasty, although lacking any protein (tofu or lentils). Coffee is fine, but seems to take a long time to be made. Nice view of the water for some of the tables. The little library houses some cool books. Workers of the world unite!

It is the perfect spot to unwind right after watching the sunrise at Cape Spear. We grabbed a table on the patio, which made the whole experience even better. I had a cold brew with their chimi chicken sandwich which was flavourful and satisfying, while my partner had a macchiato and toast. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, exactly the kind of place you want to linger for a while with good coffee and good company.

Tucked into the colorful, crooked hillside row houses of downtown St. John’s, The Battery Café feels like stumbling into a cozy secret you immediately want to tell everyone about. We ordered the French toast piled high with blueberries (basically happiness on a plate) and flat whites that could bring even the sleepiest Newfoundlander back to life after a foggy morning. The café has this charming, almost storybook atmosphere—quaint without being pretentious, and hip without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you half-expect a fiddler to wander in, play a tune, and then sit down beside you for a latte. If you’re climbing the hills and need a reward (or just an excuse not to keep climbing), this little gem is absolutely worth the stop. Five stars, would gladly eat blueberry French toast here until gravity finally wins against those steep streets.

Best café vibes on the rock! This is THE place you need to go to start your day, for a little lunch, for an afternoon pick me up, or just for that little something in the evening. The staff are super friendly, they carry a number of local gift items, coffee supplies, and everything on the menu looks delicious. A number of vegan and gluten friendly options are available. There are a couple little tables inside and some picnic tables on their patio. They even have a little side window to order from if you’re on the patio. If you’re doing a morning walk/run on signal hill you need to refuel here afterwards.

What a 💎 After a rough Atlantic crossing and 4 days of cruise ship "food" what a delight to stumble across this magical place on the cross roads. Ash and all the staff are just so great. Enjoyed an almond milk matcha latte and Greek yoghurt with granola and blue berries. Fresh and great quality and thankfully not too sweet. Walked up to Signal Hill via the road (good wide pavement all the way) then back along the coastline with its wonderful wooden steps - wow! This route (2 hours leisurely walking and chatting to strangers) conveniently brings you right back to the Cafe where I then had a hummus and spinach wrap with parsnip and beetroot and a peppermint tea. Also bought some fabulous local organic vegan chocolate. The Cafe is just swirling with positive energy and I talked to many people - a great mix of locals and travellers. The locals are incredibly friendly! This place provides real nourishment - body and soul! Thanks Guys! JoJo, England PS great free WiFi too 👍

Fixed Coffee and Baking, located in St. Johns, has been voted the best cafe in town and is renowned for its premium coffee offerings such as cappuccinos and lattes. The cafe also received recognition for serving quick lunches and hosts innovative pop-up suppers and live music performances. In addition to its vibrant atmosphere, Fixed Coffee and Baking recently opened an independent bookstore downstairs, enriching the downtown culture.
Solid 3rd wave coffee joint. Friendly and chill staff. Coffee was great- they use mostly Anchor beans out of Dartmouth. Great relaxed vibe. Nice blend of DIY and Hipster aesthetics. Can't wait to go back.

The fun eclectic decor was enhanced by the electronic dance music playing. Our tofu burritos were very tasty, and we were glad to see vegetarian options. The price may have been a little high, but looked like good quality ingredients. Our americanos were very strong, dark, and bitter-so if that's how you like your coffee you will be thrilled, although I prefer a mellower cup myself.

Cute little shop decorated in a really fun way. Good coffee and sweets. The breakfast bagel was a bit messy, maybe needs to be re-configured.

Truly excellent drip coffee. Food pricy (almost 5$ for a bagel with butter) but can't speak to the quality or value as I only had the coffee which was well worth 3.50$ for a large.

Finally got here on our last morning. Good coffee. Nice staff. Eclectic decor. Would definitely come here again.

Enjoyed hanging out here and people watching by the front window in the morning while visiting St.Johns. I enjoyed the vegan options however prices were a bit steep but at least the food was good so maybe it's worth it?! Much better than anything at the big chain coffee shops. I spent 26$ for one breakfast burrito, one americano and a yogurt granola(that portion was very small not sure if it's because I got it to go?!) so that gives you an idea. I like to support small businesses therefor I would definitely recommend this place. Oh and the coffee was good :)
Marie-eve W — Google review
got an Americano and it was delicious. honestly the only reason I'm not giving the place 5 stars is because the seating isn't super comfortable if you're planning on staying for awhile. otherwise, not one complaint. great coffee, service, cosy atmosphere and the music is at a decent volume.

Bagel Cafe is a cozy spot on Water Street known for its all-day breakfast, bagel sandwiches, and eclectic decor. While some may have mixed feelings about the place, it's a popular choice for lunch catch-ups and post-night-out meals. The cafe offers a wide range of options including gluten-free choices and vegetarian/vegan dishes. Despite overpriced coffee and mediocre service, the everything bagel sandwiches and French fries are highly recommended.
Loved this place and all day breakfast.. its the best! They had a two for one lobster deal with side and a bottle of wine... i only got one lobster for me but it was great and yummy garlic better!! Recommended 100% Has a step up to get in but there were some small tables outside.

Visiting St. John’s for the first time.. was very happy to find this place. Tried the Newfoundland Benedict and Blueberry French toast which were both pretty good. I just wish there was actual maple syrup instead of table syrup. Will definitely come back.

We've been here twice, and both times the breakfasts were fantastic. Everything was delicious, and the portions were large. The sheer number of breakfast options is truly astounding. I recommend choosing your dish in advance, as you'll spend a lot of time perusing the menu. During peak hours, the restaurant gets completely full, so it's best to reserve a table—this place is truly worth a visit.

We visited **Bagel Café** on Duckworth Street and were delighted by the experience from start to finish. We ordered their *Big Hardy Breakfast – Perogies* (a breakfast plate with perogies, eggs, sour cream, bacon, peppers & onions, and toast) as our main, and added a side of fish cakes. We split the plates between us — which was the smart move, because we left completely full. The **portions are enormous** and very generous. The food itself was solid comfort fare — the perogies were hearty, the eggs cooked just right, and the side of fish cakes added a nice Newfoundland touch. Everything was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what you want in a cozy breakfast spot. The atmosphere was warm and charming. We loved the **stained glass details** and the eclectic décor throughout the space. It gives the place character, and the cozy ambience makes it a fun spot to linger in while your food arrives. We did wait about **15 minutes** to get a table, but once seated, it became obvious why — the place has a steady flow of customers, and for good reason. The wait was well justified by the food and the experience. Overall, I **highly recommend** Bagel Café. If you go, come hungry — and don’t hesitate to share a plate or two. Great food, great vibe, and a must-visit for breakfast lovers in St. John’s.

Update: I came here again with my husband. I had a touton with molasses. Service was quicker and friendlier this time but the music is still really, really loud and the touton was really thin, dry and tasteless. I'm sure people love it here, but if you like a higher standard quality and taste, Bagel Cafe is not the place to come for it. The exterior, entrance and interior restaurant decor was eclectic and reminiscent of British/Irish pub style ambiance, with wooden and stone flooring, tables and booths and stained glass decor plus Tiffany style lamps. The restaurant was small, with booths and tables fairly close together but not so much as to feel crowded or uncomfortable. There was often a cold draft whenever patrons entered or exited due to the small size of the restaurant. The decor and lighting was subdued, ambiant and lovely; however, the music, although pleasant enough, was rather loud and at times made it difficult to hear my husband speaking which was somewhat annoying and uncomfortable. I had the Belgian Waffle (berry and banana) with bacon, a side of hashbrowns and a side of scrambled eggs and my husband had the Newfounland Benedict: 2 fish cakes, two eggs benedict, smoked salmon covered in hollandaise sauce with hashbrowns. For all I absaloutely loved the ambiance of the restaurant, the initial service was very slow (to take our order). The first waitress seemed rather irritated and unpleasant but the second waitress was very pleasant and accomodating. The food arrived more quickly than expected as well. I really, really hate giving these lovely little, local restaurants any negativity at all so I always focus on the positive first but the meal I had was very disappointing. The hashbrowns were really large potato cubes (bigger than I usually see as a hashbrown) and I'm unsure if they were cooked from frozen or not but they were not bad and there was a large quantity. The scrambled eggs were okay. There was no bacon at all (although it was supposed to come with my waffle). Unfortunately, the waffle itself was the most disappointing. It was very dry and crumbley (like it had been frozen and reheated in a microwave) and the berries were reheated from frozen and made the middle of the waffle soggy. The bananas were fresh. There was only cheap pancake (corn) syrup - no actual maple syrup - as well. My husbands meal, however was fantastic and delicious, aside from the hashbrowns. He also very much enjoyed the coffee. All in all, I would return again, but I will not go for the waffles, pancakes, French toast or toutons. I will most likely try a sandwich on my next visit. Hopefully it will be a better food experience.

We loved our breakfast here - had my first toutons ever, with my meal, which were delicious. The menu is staggering - so many options. We sat upstairs which I preferred, a bit quieter than the lower level. I would highly recommend this spot, we had a great experience - super friendly and helpful staff as well

Might be my new favourite breakfast place in my travels this summer. Love the eccentricity of everything inside this restaurant. The 80’s/90’s music playing was trippy. Serving staff were very pleasant, seating was quick. Food was fine. Ordered the Cabot Tower, not because I was heading back out onto the sea but because I could. Eyes were bigger than my stomach for sure, but didn’t care.

Extensive breakfast menu with lots of sweet or savory options . Good portion sizes. We were told that the fish cakes are made in-house and decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, we were disappointed by them - They basically tasted like big balls of mashed and deep-fried potatoes and couldn't see or taste any fish in them.

Coffee Matters is a popular spot for a coffee date, offering a pleasant atmosphere and multiple locations around the city. It's known for its diverse selection of hot and cold drinks, including seasonal specials. Customers also praise the gluten-free sandwich options. The staff are highly praised for their excellent service, creating an amazing atmosphere for guests. However, some have noted inconsistent pricing and lack of wheelchair accessibility as drawbacks.
Cute little coffee shop with a decent selection of baked treats and breakfast/lunch options. We were there before 9 and a lot of the baked food were already sold out for the day! Not sure if that’s normal or because it was Regatta day. My blueberry muffin was excellent, and my husband and I enjoyed the frozen lemonade and Iced tea. Free cold water is available (self-serve), which also appreciated. There was lots of seating available when we arrived. Place was clean and staff were welcoming and efficient. We would definitely eat here again and I would love to explore more of the items on their menu.

Loved this cafe during my week visit! The espresso was really really good. I tried a regular cappuccino and 3 different specialty drinks and they were all amazing. I also enjoyed the peanut butter and energy balls. Laptop friendly spot, but it gets busy in there, so tried to make sure I was spending $ for my seat throughout my time there.

This is a cute coffee shop and probably the best one around. The staff are really friendly and kind, they definitely make you feel like a welcome guest. They will most definitely make your visit the best possible! The food is pretty good too, it's definitely nothing that will knock your socks off, but it's serviceable and I've been surprised a few times with how good the food was. The coffee is good too, lots of variety and there is definitely something for everyone. There are a lot of non coffee drinks there as well. The only issue I have with this place, and it's a big one, is that the employees are not cared about. I have been here numerous times during this summer, and each time it has been over 30°C there, even reaching 34°C at one point. That is absolutely shameful to have your staff working in. The workers were sweating so much and looked Miserable and groggy from the heat. It's really a shame they're being abused as workers like this. They do everything for the business but can't even get an AC? shameful.

Hungry Heart Cafe & Catering is a charming daytime venue that serves up a variety of seasonally inspired dishes, including sandwiches, salads, and pasta. The cafe not only offers delicious food but also provides culinary training opportunities to support individuals facing barriers to inclusion in the community. Their menu features enormous scones, Eggs Benedict with yogurt-based hollandaise, grilled beet salad with local goat cheese, and homemade pasta.
We came here for lunch after landing in St Johns. After sitting on a plane, this simple to the point meal was perfect. I didn't leave feeling heavy or hungry. I loved it even more after finding out that they do this as a social enterprise to help vulnerable adults and help get them into the food service industry. The service was really good and the food and atmosphere is perfect. There is a small outside area to eat but we just sat inside by the window. It's a lovely cafe to have lunch. We didn't need reservations or have to wait in line and came in 30 minutes before they were expected to close. We never felt rushed or like we were being waited for. I would say the cost is acceptable and for the cause, I would say that it is well worth paying for. Would definitely return to have lunch.

The ambiance of the place is good with giant windows. It's very bright and clean. The fresh little flower vase was a nice touch. The food is alright. Although it's unique, it's a little bit pricey. I liked the Mimosas here. Tried the soft shell moose tacos and breakfast on the bun with potatoes and salad. The dessert was delicious. The covid protocols are being practiced and the tables spread apart.

I'm gonna give an objective review since I'm not from NL and because I've only been there once. The cafe in itself is cute with a warm ambiance. First I was disappointed because I expected them to offer a variety of coffee like espresso but they only have regular filter coffee which isn't bad. Then, the service wasn't bad, but it was kinda strange.. From what I could grasp, I think employees there are being rehabilitated to society by being offered a job at this cafe by the church. Please, tell me if I'm wrong. I think it's great! More places should do this. But like I said it was kinda strange.. I think one of the server didn't like my boyfriend and he was giving him weird intense looks. I had to point it out. Then, the food was good. I had the applebutter grilled cheese. But the portion is too small for the price. I can't give a better rating because of these reasons. I'm still glad I tried it.

This teeny café is delightful. It’s not cramped, there is no uncomfortable banquette seating (thank the gods!) and it’s open and sunny in the morning. The server was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious (we both had the hearty breakfast with sausage) and we were tempted by dessert afterwards but couldn’t have fit it in! We will definitely return though.

Terre has gained recognition for its delectable dishes and was even featured in enRoute Magazine's Canada's Best New Restaurants list this year.
We so enjoyed our visit with Terre. The staff were friendly, knew the menu well and bartender made a fine lemon drop martini. The food was creative and delicious. The razor clams were a treat!

This isn't the starter series. This is advanced dining. We ate the chef's menu which came with perhaps 6 starters/salads, 2 mains, and a dessert. I couldn't tell you what it all included because each dish was complex with various vegetables, herbs, spices and many included a protein. Delicious. The foods are fresh, seasonal and crafted with care. The service was patient, helpful and pleasant. I'd highly recommend.

The service was excellent from the host’s greeting through till the end of the meal. The food was plated elegantly, and delicious. We savoured the snow crab, and the PEI oysters. My husband has been here many times, and says every dish is delightful. We also ordered cocktails which were also delicious. One was the mixologist’s take on a negroni, the other was a type of spicy margarita — both were savoured. Reserve in advance, because they are understandably in very high demand.

I've been to this beautiful place a few times, but I went back for my fiancé's birthday because it's one of his favorite restaurants. The drinks that day tasted like absolutely nothing; they were like water. I liked the food; I ordered the cōte de boeuf, which was okay, but way too small—almost the size of a regular $40 cut, and the price was quite different. The salad was sour, and the potatoes were way too salty. The service was very friendly, although they took a long time to take our order. I paid over $500; I would have expected a better experience, but maybe next time will be better. 😊

Bannerman Brewing Co. is a trendy craft brewery housed in a beautifully repurposed fire station on Duckworth Street in St. Johns. The brewery offers a rotating selection of innovative brews, from IPAs to stouts, and features a spacious taproom perfect for unwinding. Additionally, their kitchen serves up creative, Thai-inspired dishes from Namjim.
We had a wonderful experience. They have new menu, and we tried half of the items. Everything came out quick and was delicious. Beer was not bad. I expected better beer choices and flavours. But we still all found something to enjoy. I would definitely come back and recommend that place, because overall it was great experience. Service was quick and friendly

This place has beer AND coffee. Repeat, good beer AND good coffee. Plus the breakfast wrap was 'wholesome' good, not like a 'so-greasy-feel-like-have-to-walk-it-off-after' type one. To top it off, the choc chip cookie was so soft and tasty that you knew it had been baked that day. High praise to the different spaces too - traditional cafe seating, with high tops and couches, every setting covered 👌

While I was visiting St. John’s I went to quite a few local craft brewery locations and taste some others in restaurants. Bannerman Brewing Co. is by far my favourite. You will see in my photos that they have a beer for every palette. I’m an East Coast IPA fan, my server brilliantly led me to the right choices. I was happy with both. I also had two delicious beef tacos. I’d say they were a cut above bar food and better than I’d had in the city until then. I’d like to add that based on wonderful aromas wafting from my neighbours table there are other delights to eat. It was a Monday evening so I was lucky to hear a set of acoustic and vocal music by a band with a lot of talent. I was blown away by them. The space itself is very warm and inviting and the service spot on. I was also happy to see that they are Rainbow friendly!

Great spot to unwind after exploring downtown St. John’s. Located at the end of the street, this cozy brewery offers a wide selection of local beers and light snacks — perfect for a casual break. While it’s not the best place for a full dinner, it’s definitely worth a visit for drinks and a relaxed atmosphere.

Great in-house beer brewing bar. Service is excellent as well as the atmosphere. Not that I’ve eaten here however, the food coming out looked good. A very busy place too for coffee, beer and food. Worth a visit if you’re in St John’s. Just adding to this as I’ve been back a few time this week, it’s a fantastic bar and my favourite in St John’s.

Good burger, fries were very much like leftover shoestring fries warmed up lukewarm in an air fryer. Not a fan of seasoned fries, but these were terrible. Not just me, my wife and the couple at the next table said the same. I'm sure some other things on their menu are great, as was the burger, but unfortunately no option to skip or substitute the fries. Even lots of ketchup struggled to make them palatable.

The atmosphere of this cafe is amazing! The staff was so nice and the service was quick.

Nestled in a cozy corner, Jumping Bean offers an inviting atmosphere that exudes cleanliness and warmth. Upon entering, you're greeted with a sense of comfort and relaxation, making it an ideal spot for catching up with friends or enjoying some alone time. The service at Jumping Bean is top-notch, with attentive staff members who are always ready to assist you with a smile. Their dedication to ensuring a pleasant experience for customers truly sets them apart. However, the food, while decent, doesn't quite justify the hefty price tags attached to it. Although the dishes are okay, they lack the wow factor expected from such a pricey establishment. Despite this, the coffee manages to shine with its robust flavor and satisfying aroma, making it a redeeming aspect of the menu. In conclusion, while Jumping Bean offers a delightful atmosphere and excellent service, the value proposition falls short when it comes to the food. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy a quality cup of coffee and soak in the ambiance, Jumping Bean delivers. Just be prepared to splurge a bit for the overall experience.

Jumping Bean Cafe on Elizabeth Avenue was awesome. I've never been to one of these before and they served excellent coffee that is roasted in Newfoundland! I ordered an Iced Americano and their Chipotle Chicken Club. The club was unreal I didn't have much of an expectation a club is a club but the chipotle sauce was very solid. They also had great internet and pretty comfy seats sat here for around an hour and a half doing some work!

Nestled within the lush surroundings of Murray's Garden Centre, The Grounds Cafe in Portugal Cove-St. Philips is a hidden gem that has captured the hearts of many. This charming cafe boasts a modern aesthetic with soaring cathedral ceilings adorned with hanging plants and vibrant local artwork, creating an inviting atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Whether you're stopping by for a delightful weekend brunch or enjoying an afternoon coffee paired with delectable pastries, The Grounds Cafe offers something special for everyone.
The Grounds Cafe is a fantastic spot for breakfast or brunch. I find that the place is bright and spacey however, seats are limited. They have a small menu but they're all delicious with fair prices. The staff is friendly however note that this place is a self serve kind of place, so you'd have to clean up your own table, especially if the previous diners left their own dirty dishes. Not sure if that's suppose to be like that but regardless we had a great time in this restaurant and we'll for sure to come back when we can.

We visited Ground Murray’s Café in Portugal Cove about a month ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere—it’s such a nice and cozy spot. We ordered the strawberry flaky, cheesecake, the Ground omelette, and two dark roast coffees. The food was tasty and fresh, and the cheesecake was a real highlight! The only thing we found a little disappointing was the coffee selection. They only serve brewed coffee (self-serve with milk, cream, or sugar), so I couldn’t get a latte, which I would have preferred. For the price, it would be nice to see more coffee options on the menu. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stop by, with great food and a welcoming vibe.

Restaurant
The Nook and Cannery, located in the old Big R location on Harvey Road, seamlessly blends into its surroundings. Chef Amy Anthony's ever-changing menu features sandwiches with jammy eggs, comforting soups, Asian-influenced grain bowls, and messy fries. A must-try is the Trini Doubles - a fusion of Newfoundland and Trinidadian cuisines using curry-yellowed toutons filled with black beans, chickpeas, zucchini, and pickled shallots.
Loved the space with all the colours, the charm of staff greeting and serving us. One of the best meals in St. John's with great creative vegetarian options. We shared two dishes: Glory bowl made of seasoned fried marinated tofu, puffed rice, cherry tomatoes, seared broccoli and kale with picked sweet onion and Poached Pear with fennel and goat cheese salad. Note that their updated menu is on their Facebook page. Their butterfly pea flower and rhubarb lemonade was quite nice and refreshing. Make sure you stop by here before or after visiting The Rooms.

The Nook and Cannery feels like a homely place. The food feels fresh, rich, flavourful and made with care, complimenting the decor and atmosphere of the place. Many of their dishes have a touch of fusion, combining elements from different parts of the world, and it's done well in my opinion. They'll also ask you about elements you'd like to exclude/include in a dish, and if not, feel free to ask them. Lot of gluten-free options! They also have a lot of pretty and tasty baked goods. Had my friend invite us here because he loves the place, and after visiting, "Will definitely come back again!" felt like a hearty and honest review of the place. Prices are alright - even if it feels slightly on the higher side, the portions are adequate. When we visited on a Saturday evening, the place wasn't that crowded.

Excellent spot for a healthy hearty lunch. I had the glory bowl and oh my goodness it was...glorious. the sauce was incredible. Tofu done perfectly. A wonderful assortment of perfectly prepped veggies to go with it. My husband had the black bean burger and fries which were amazing. We often have trouble finding good vegan food when we travel but this place hits the spot and has many vegan options. Our server was delightful as well. We ordered one of each of their vegan pastries to go and had them for breakfast the next morning. I don't know how they make their vegan puff pastry but I'm going to be asking for the recipe next time.

I visited this store today and sadly did not have the best experience. My drink was filled so much with ice that when I held the cup it was hard, I only had 3 sips and the drink was completely gone and sadly I seen some unhygienic practices like placing their blending equipment on a dusty ledge as a former barista this is a problem. Also multiple people who had ordered after me and my partner got their drinks way before us we waited 20 minutes and there were barely any customers at the store. Personally I will not be returning. I would have returned and gotten my drink remade but the baristas there seemed irritated and I had a appointment to attend after receiving my order and if I had to wait for them to remake it I would have been late.

Toslow, a cozy cafe and bar located in downtown St. Johns, initially gained popularity for its unique natural wines and cocktails. After relocating to 108 Duckworth Street, the establishment expanded its menu to include an array of delectable pastries such as bagel danishes and raspberry hibiscus curd brioche. In addition to their morning offerings, Toslow also serves up great espresso drinks and breakfast sandwiches, with the Mac Combo being a popular choice.
Toslow is my go-to for a vegan breakfast and the hands-down best coffee I've had in St John's. The groovy vibe of local crowd hangout, Nanny's basement, and childhood summers at the cabin makes this place cool and inviting. The location on Duckworth Street, the harbour views from the upstairs picture window, and the gracious and engaging staff make this place, for me at least, a must-stop when in St. John's. And carnivores rest easy, the menu has you covered. We had the vegan Griddle sandwich made from scrambled tofu and vegan sausage and cheese, wholly caramelized in maple syrup. And the BLT on housemade focaccia. And, you guessed it, the BEST coffee! Five stars all around.

Stopped in for a vanilla latte and a flat white, and ended up getting a full-on coffee education from the barista — who was equal parts skilled and entertaining. Honestly, I think I learned more about beans and milk textures in five minutes than I did in four years of school. We took our drinks upstairs, where the vibe is cozy, a little old-soul, and the kind of place you could easily “accidentally” spend an afternoon in. The coffee was excellent, the atmosphere even better — and if I could hire that barista as my personal coffee tutor, I’d never touch a drip machine again. Highly recommend for anyone who likes their caffeine with a side of character.

Cute little cafe on Main Street. I had a black coffee and a chocolate dipped oatcake. I wanted a veggie sandwich, but they were sold out for the day, which I was kind of bummed about, but that's okay. Good amount of seating options. I was able to set up and get some work done. Convenient location as both the Hew & Draw and Greenwood Inn hotels are only steps away. I recommend checking this place out.

Went to Brewed for the first time this morning and was absolutely blown away by the lovely service that I got. My partner and I were the first to arrive when they opened at 9, and the person working was very welcoming, friendly, chatty. Just overall very chipper which was nice. They had heard me mention that I couldn't try the black bottom muffins because of cream cheese (I'm lactose intolerant) before I proceeded to order a double machiatto with salted caramel shot and a granola bar. Before making my order, they brought up how I mentioned being lactose-intolerant and asked if I'd like a dairy-free option. I had totally forgot to ask for dairy-free, so the fact that they remembered that small interaction and checked with me beforehand made all the difference in the world. AND the coffee and granola bar were both delicious! Will absolutely be making this a regular stop.

Nestled in the stunning landscapes of Western Newfoundland, just a stone's throw from Gros Morne National Park, Gros Morne Coffee Roasters is a haven for coffee enthusiasts. This small-batch roastery began its journey with a humble 1 kg cafemino roaster and has since expanded to a more robust 5 kg toper. They pride themselves on sourcing organic, fair trade beans from around the globe, ensuring that every cup is as fresh as possible when it reaches you.
A great way to wrap up my trip to the Gros Morne National Park. This cool spot is only a few minutes away from the airport. I stopped by to pick up a souvenir - coffee beans, of course! They also made me a perfect cup of Americano. Can’t wait to be back!

Thanks Lori for the cafe recommendations in St. John's! Both the Postmaster's and Birdie's were great. It made up for the mediocre breakfast at the hotel.

Jumping Bean Coffee, located in St. Johns, has seen significant growth over the past decade. The company offers eco-friendly, locally roasted and packaged beans that are now available in compostible Keurig compatible cups. According to marketing manager George Murray, they are the main player in large-scale roasting in town. Customers praise the incredibly nice and patient staff who go above and beyond to accommodate special drink requests not on the menu.
Now a daily stop for me. Excellent food and beverage and a wonderful staff. By far one of the better jumping bean locations.

I recently ordered a large iced oat milk latte from Jumping Bean Coffee, and I received a medium hot oat milk latte instead. Not only was the order completely wrong, but the latte was so disgusting that I had to spit it out. It's without a doubt the worst coffee I've ever had in my life. The service was appalling, and I won't be returning.

akin to Tim Hortons - standard, maybe subpar coffee chain. ordered an iced latte. the coffee, not sure which roast, tasted very over-brewed; excessively "lungo," as if to get the most liquid espresso per shot, not to get the best taste. think of airplane coffee. also ordered a chipotle & bacon breakfast wrap - the meat given was actually ham, the egg took up the largest portion of the sandwich, and there was raw onion and tomato on it - somewhat of a shock considering their competitors' take on a breakfast wrap. their menu needs refinement. for clarification, their sandwiches also come with the complimentary warm onion and tomato. the aesthetic and vision of the brand is good, and they have an ambience unique to that of Tims or Starbucks - and with Tim Hortons' coffee becoming worse over time, a revitalization of Jumping Bean's recipes and menu is in order before they can find their own place in the market. basically, they have potential, but they aren't there yet.

In the heart of historic Bonavista, you'll find the charming Bonavista Coffee Company, a beloved establishment run by the dedicated owners John and Sylvia. This cozy spot is known for its small-batch roasted coffee sourced from around the globe, as well as delectable dishes made with locally grown ingredients. While they are not a traditional café open to the public, their delightful coffee can be savored in various local establishments across Newfoundland and Labrador.
I bought coffee roasted by this company at the local grocery store. The building itself was not open. Delicious coffee!

Perched on a hilltop, The Rooms in St. Johns is a multifaceted cultural center housing the Provincial Museum, Archives, and Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labrador. This modern facility offers interactive programs and exhibits that showcase local art, natural history, and cultural heritage. Visitors can engage in various activities such as meeting Newfoundland dogs, sampling local cuisine, enjoying traditional music performances, and exploring the province's contribution to air travel development.
We visited The Rooms in St. John's, yesterday. It was Canada Day, and entry was free — we didn’t know that in advance, so it was a nice surprise! The place was beautiful and very interesting. It includes two art galleries and three museum sections. If you enjoy museums, this is definitely a place you'll love. To explore everything properly and take your time reading through the exhibits, expect to spend at least two hours or more. The washrooms were clean, and the gift shop was lovely, it had a great selection of local products at reasonable prices, which isn’t always the case in museum gift shops. Highly recommended for anyone visiting St. John's!

I visited a few weeks ago with my child and had a great time. The WWI exhibit for the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was well put together and very informative. They had also many activities for children throughout. It was interesting to see all the Canada Games medals in the archives area. The view of the harbour was great too.

A true gem in the heart of St. John's, The Rooms is an absolute must-visit for locals and tourists alike. The experience begins before you even step inside; the building itself is a gorgeous piece of architecture that beautifully complements the city's skyline. One of the first things you'll appreciate is the fair and reasonable admission price. It’s great value for the quality and scale of the facility. They also have special times when students can get in for free, which is a fantastic initiative to make arts and culture accessible to everyone. Once inside, the art gallery and museum collections are simply stunning. Everything is so wonderfully put together and immaculately kept. You can feel the passion and care that goes into every exhibit. It's clear that whoever is in charge of the galleries has a great love for what they do, as the attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. It makes for a truly immersive and enjoyable experience as you explore Newfoundland and Labrador's rich history and vibrant arts scene. Beyond the exhibits, the amenities are top-notch. The gift shop is incredibly cute and boasts a wide selection of amazing Newfoundland merchandise, as well as items specific to The Rooms. And while it deserves its own separate review, I have to mention that the on-site cafe is amazing. Overall, The Rooms is a world-class facility that St. John's should be incredibly proud of. I can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic museum, I really enjoy the art gallery of the Newfoundland local artist. Amazing pieces. And we learned about the history of indigenous people. It was so touching. And we found the interaction between the public the organizers is also very interesting. Ppl are creating their art pieces in The Rooms at night on Friday. Then there’s a wall full of their artwork.

The Rooms turned out to be one of the must explore stops in St. John’s. I spent a couple of hours exploring and could’ve easily stayed longer. The exhibits on Newfoundland’s history, especially the personal artifacts from people before and during the world wars, really made me pause. The whale section was another highlight, something you don’t forget quickly, the carved whale skull alone is massive, stretching several feet across, and it really gives you a sense of just how enormous these creatures are. And of course, the view from upstairs is worth the visit on its own, looking out over the harbour and Signal Hill is just beautiful. If you like reading through every exhibit, plan for most of a day. Otherwise, a few hours is enough to get a real feel. Either way, it’s a place that leaves an impression.

Enjoyed the section on the War effort and how it affected the Area. Great displays of uniforms and many photos. There was a Manders O’Bryne who played music for almost the entire time we were there. He was wonderful. Added a lot to the experience since we could hear him all through the museum.

Very well put together museum with a few floors to explore. There's even a bistro type restaurant on the top floor to eat or have food and drink. This is one place I wanted to visit on my trip and it certainly didn't disappoint. There was so much information about the island with so many exhibits and explanations to go with everything. It's an awesome place to visit if it's your first time visiting and want to spend an afternoon or the day somewhere by yourself or others. It was also surprisingly clean with how big it is. I don't think I even got to see everything but my favorite is seeing all the preserved artifacts of real life things they used to use over the years for transport etc.

Nestled in Twillingate, the Crow's Nest Café is a beloved spot offering an array of freshly baked goods, satisfying lunches, and aromatic brewed coffee. The café also doubles as an art gallery with a diverse selection of local artwork and jewelry available for purchase. Visitors can savor their meals while contemplating which unique pieces to take home as souvenirs. Additionally, the café provides a picturesque setting with both indoor and outdoor seating options that offer stunning views.
Take the drive out towards Twillingate Lighthouse from Twillingate and stop at the Crows Nest Cafe it is well worth it! Views from their little outside deck or enclosed deck is perfect and they have more seats than it looks like from outside. Service from the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We had the bowl of chilli and the chicken Panini and both came very quickly and tasted wonderful and both were reasonably priced. Wrapped it all up with a perfectly made Latte and tasty carrot cake. A perfect coffee and lunch stop whist travelling the Newfoundland coast.

Great little coffee shop in Port Rexton. This is a must stop if you’re in the area or driving up towards Bonavista. Everything I’ve tried on the menu has been spectacular but the salted caramel brownie is out of this world. Probably the best latte I’ve had on the island. The breakfast and lunch sandwiches feature greens and ingredients from their back garden and are a nice change from the normal “50 shades of beige” Newfoundland deep fried food options. There’s plenty of seating inside and out, with a breathtaking view of the bay from almost every seat. You NEED to stop here!

Breakfast is served all day long. Visitors can also explore the souvenir store with an array of small gifts available for purchase.
Lovely shop. It is a treasure indeed. They sell all sorts of knickknacks and decor. There’s a huge section of clothing with locally made 100% wool sweaters/ toques/ mitts/ socks that is a serious must-buy considering how affordable and well knitted they feel (i sweat immediately trying on a toque). You want locally made very affordable quilts? There are some, too. There’s a small section for jams. They also carry saltwater taffy. And then there’s a restaurant with lovely homemade food. Touton and molasses? 100% would recommend. Fish cakes were light, crispy on the outside and fresh on the inside, not oily at all. The only letdown was the moose sausage (they were dry for our taste and would benefit from some fat or herb). They also sell breakfast and wraps to-go for hikers and some local games (moose pate!). The ladies running the shop are so lovely. Highly recommend.

Desserts were also great, tried the partridge berry cheesecake and a bakeapple tart. It was packaged up nicely, and a nice lady even ran out to our car because they forgot a small side of the pickles. Would definitely recommend and will go back.

We were seated by the window, the lady server made sure we took the table with the great view as soon as the previous customers left, even if we were seated already in another table by the door. That was so very kind of her. Service was kind, warm and thoughtful and we felt like we were with family. They have a huge collection of teapots and mugs and it made this coffee shop all the more interesting.

My wife and I visited Madrock Cafe for the first time. It is a bit of a drive to get there,but very much worth the trip. The atmosphere there is really homey. We were welcomed warmly and served promptly. Everyone there was in bay fashion very friendly. The restaurant is accessible. The food was great. Best touton I had in a long time. The baked beans were almost as good as my own 😉. Fish cakes were huge and delicious. Loved their touton. My wife had the western sandwich. She really enjoyed it. Overall a+++ experience. The lady who served us recommended a drive just a little further to see an amazing view. Was not disappointed. Highly recommend the trip to this restaurant.

Came across this place during a google search as I drove the coast line for a day of exploring. It is off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. I had the Cafe special which comes with two fish cakes, baked beans, and a touton. The fish cakes had nice chunks, and great flavour. The touton is award winning and we were taught how to eat it properly, with butter and molasses. Beans were good. Portion was very large. Everyone in the restaurant, staff and guests were all very friendly and curious of our travels as we clearly aren't from Newfoundland & Labrador. Paulin (a patron) was the best, and the staff and guests gave us a great suggestion to go 4 min further down the road for some great views and to view the Dark Hole Gulch. Definitely a must!

We visited Bonavista in a day trip and after seeing some Puffins and drove around in the city until we found Waltham's Cafe where we decided to have a quick meal and we really liked it. It’s a small Café next to a Pub, with good options for desserts and a quick lunch or even take out. It's kind of a home made dishes really local and delicious! We had some Cod au Gratin and Fish Cakes and both were delicious, and of course, we also couldn’t resist to their local desserts! The price is good and the service was really friendly. The ambience is simple and cozy at the same time. We totally recommend a stop, even for a dessert & coffee only!

Sharon is a just a lovely landlady. A good selection of beer and rum, and we were regaled with tales of Bonavista, Ireland's Eye, and Newfoundland lore. Just wonderful to visit when in Bonavista, and the hours are consistent and long. Noon to midnight. Only the pub is now open, without food. The cafe is closed these days.

As soon as we walked in the door we were hit with a delicious aroma of chili, cooking in the back for lunch. We ordered fish cakes, baked beans, sausage, french toast and toutans and everything was AMAZING! Just like mom makes- scrumptious!! The ladies working were also very nice, good service. We are going back later for supper! Highly recommend. They are also one of the very few places that are still open in the off season.

Really disappointing experience. The online menu suggested there were waffles but waffles were not available. Wouldn't take orders from lunch menu 10 mins early.

Lovely, cosy and calm place to have a coffee, delicious breakfast (they were flexible and prepared it veggie for me with additional vegetables instead of meat, you just have to ask) or for example a vegetarian Falafel Wrap.

Such a wonderful surprise to find this fantastic cafe after the hike up the hill! They had a nice range of sweet and savoury snacks but when I saw there was a hot chocolate menu I had to go for that. I chose the first one from the list I think and it was utterly delicious, one of the best hot chocolates I've ever had in my life! Super rich and decadent without being sickly and the price was very reasonable for the quality too. Plus the staff were really lovely.

a nice cafe for some good drinks next to Signal Hill. their frozen mocha is lovely - vibrant chocolate flavour, good espresso, and a uniform texture throughout the drink. it was light, refreshing & fast. they give some chips alongside grilled sandwiches, and feature a selection of different hot chocolate flavours, with their own designated menu section. the "tourist tax" is real. items here are priced a notable amount higher than average, and while the coffee is good, the sandwiches are only okay; despite using plain white bread, lacking texture & being stored in a refrigerator at the counter, they are $10 to $13 each, depending on contents. atmosphere is lacking due to the corner it is tucked in, and the number of tourists who frequent the gelato spot and museum housed in the same building, generating a lot of volume.

The Gander Bread Box is a charming spot in Newfoundland and Labrador that offers delicious gluten-free breakfast sandwiches. The bread for these sandwiches is made off-site, and they take precautions to minimize the risk of cross-contamination for those with Celiac disease. Visitors rave about the fresh, homemade offerings from this petite storefront location, including the friendly service from the owners. In addition to their gluten-free options, they also accommodate vegan diners by preparing custom dishes upon request.
We went for breakfast here 2 mornings and had the touton sandwich (which they were happy to do without meat for me) and it was absolutely delicious. We also liked the 'choose your own mug' wall and that the coffee was refillable. It was the perfect start and end to our 2 week trip to Newfoundland.

Heard about a good bakery in Gander while chatting with another tourist in St. John's. Didn't know the name of it so just googled "best bakery in Gander"and ended up at the Gander Bread Box! Awesome chat with the Baker before we even began our food order. Had to have a touton sandwich before we left the Island. The breakfast sandwich with everything in it, didn't disappoint. I generally bypass sweets but the cinnamon tea buns caught my eye and went very nicely with a cup of tea. Because we live near Nanaimo, we had to try the Nanaimo bars. I generally don't like Nanaimo bars made commercially but these ones are just like what my Mom would have made. Not too sweet and a really yummy base. Well done.

We loved our meals so much we went back several times during our stay in Gander. The bread is super fresh and they make great sandwiches. I had multiple bowls of their roasted red pepper soup. And had to try their touton breakfast sandwich. Pro tip: scoop up a loaf of their cinnamon bread early because that sells out quickly.

The food was amazing, some of the best we had on our multi-leg trip and better than most fully sit-down places! The turkey soup and pulled pork sandwich were both amazing!! A very modest "dining area" but they brought the food to us from the counter where you order, and you got to pick your own mug! The soup reminded me of my grandmothers, which is worth the 5 stars alone in my opinion.

I ordered a simple iced drink, it was completely forgotten about while they were busy making much more complex drinks and multiple sandwiches that were ordered long after I had placed my order.

If you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this place—it’s a must-visit!

The toutons with me toutons and beans came out charcoaled, when I mentioned it to the waiter he said "the blacker the better" the owner still charged me full price for the meal after I complained and asked "but how were the beans" as if a small bowl of beans for $16 would make up for the whole experience, well to be honest they tasted from a can of you wanna know. The owner called my GF lazy when is and her 3 kids strolled in, seemed annoyed we were all ordering food at 12:30 told us it would take 2 weeks. Clearly just wants to sell coffee to his buddies doesn't want actually customers. Well congratulations we won't be back to bother you ever again. Pathetic service all around.

We have been here many times over the last 15 years. We purposely find a reason to stop in. Great food, atmosphere and service. We love the pancakes, French toast, breakfast deals, roast beef dinner and sandwiches. We get dessert to go because we are so full after but love the dessert items. Highly recommend.

The Third Place Cafe + Bistro, located at the Salmonid Interpretation Centre, is a charming and worthwhile cafe that offers classic brunch dishes like Eggs Benedict, waffles, and omelettes. In addition to espresso drinks, they also serve lunch dishes such as pesto and prosciutto naan pizzas, curry bowls, burgers, paninis, and even sushi. The cafe has a unique menu with familiar favorites and superb coffee drinks.
Lovely spot by the hydro dam to grab a delicious lunch and watch some salmon jump! The blueberry brie panini was a delicious combo. Service was lovely as well.

Rustic and old kinda of atmosphere, I didn't mind at first but when our booth was shaking everytime someone had to move or stand up, it was getting annoying. Food itself was good, not great, but for what it is, it does the job. Nothing too original or out of pocket, except the apple/bacon sandwich which was a good surprise, otherwise everything was pretty standard (or a bit below). Would not necessarily recommend this place unless you're in the region.

We stopped in here on a whim while driving across the island. WOW, what a spot. I've never eaten anywhere with such a view. It's entirely worth it just for that. The food was good, too, and the service was prompt. It was much too hot to sit at about half the tables outside. So, we ended up having to move to a different table once it became available. I recommend snagging one of the shaded tables if you choose to sit out. Which I HIGHLY recommend

The best!! A short drive out of town you will find the most charming and worthwhile cafe! The Third Place has an amazingly unique menu, with some familiar favorites in place as well. The coffee drinks are just superb! While in town for business I went three different times, and still didn't have enough time to try all the food offerings I wanted to! The staff are helpful, very knowledgeable, and kind! You must go here! Also, they have a patio that faces the falls, just delightful.

UPDATE: JULY 1, 2022 Today we returned to give this cafe a 2nd go, & there was some improvement from our last visit. Original post (a month prior) Very Disappointed with the service this morning at the new location. We went to have a nice light breakfast & a hot beverage. The sign says "please wait to be seated" which we did for 5 minutes before we sat ourselves to a table. There was no Beverage menu offered so when the server asked what we wanted to drink we didn't know what to order. The server said "well what do you want & I'll see if we got it". The same was said when we asked if there was any fresh baked good other than the one lonely cupcake & date square. There were no breakfast baked goods like fresh bagels, protein balls or muffins. Since we didn't have a beverage menu & the sever couldn't tell us what was available we just had coffee & hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was warm milk & a no name ice cream syrup mix which all settled at the bottom of the mug.

A neat little place, the food was a bit overated however. In terms of their cold foods, I get the impression that the chef is trying to do something different with a variety of different flavor profiles all mashed up but there's a difference between a harmonious variety with tastes and textures that compliment one another and just a mash up of stuff that could be good individually.

I stop by this Tim Hortons almost every day for drinks and I’ve got a few favourites especially the strawberry quencher and the double stuffed oreo ice capp (no whipped topping for me!). It’s a convenient spot for a quick pick me up, and I always look forward to my usual order. I’ve never had any issues with the staff, in fact one staff member in particular is so amazing. She has greeted me with a smile every single time i’ve seen her. Even if she isn’t serving on window, she still comes over to say a quick hello when i’m in drive through. Her name is Sherry! Fantastic worker for sure! The morning staff are quick and very polite.

I drop by yesterday for a coffee and a tea and I have to say I experienced the worst service ever, I usually go through drive thru where they are always great but the lady that I had yesterday was awful and very ignorant. I was the only one in line and after 5 minutes or so she came and took my order, then went to get my order while I waited to tell her it was debit, when I told her she said I will put up again, it didn’t show on the debit machine to start , I said I do believe you but I am sorry it wasn’t there and I was extremely polite and respectful then she said think whatever you want to think if it makes you happy . I have worked customer service since I was 16 , I am now 58, and I can’t imagine being so ignorant and condescending to a customer. All she needed to do was but it in her cash register and say thank you at the end or even oh sorry I will do it again no need for snide comments to someone being nice to her.

Tim Hortons is a popular Canadian chain known for its premium-blend coffee, light fare, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. With multiple locations near Memorial University's St. John's Campus, it offers convenient access to its offerings. Often likened to the Starbucks of Canada, it provides quick lattes and snacks for those on the go. While some customers have reported issues with their orders at specific locations, others praise the consistent satisfaction of their coffee and pastry pairings.
I am a coffee aficionado. A medium double-double with a Boston cream donut would be an ideal pairing. The combination is consistently satisfying. The service was efficient, and the order was delivered promptly.

I’m a student who goes there regularly for lunch and breakfast most days and for all 3 years have never had an issue. We understood the rules, if we wanted to stay we’d have to buy something. As usual the other for our free period we walked to Tim’s and sat down bought a couple coffees and proceeded to sit and chat. It is important to say the store was fairly empty, there were multiple empty chairs and we were not causing any issues (this was confirmed as we left by another customer who saw the ordeal) one of the workers (an assumed manager) came over and proceeded to berate us for allegedly not buying anything and when we showed her our drinks she then doubled down said we were not allowed to bring outside drinks (a water bottle and an already open energy drink that was not even being drunk it was just open on the table). Now do I believe she was right about the drinks yes? But a simple reminder would have sufficed as opposed to screaming at us to the point where the whole store went silent was not okay. As someone who spends over a $100 there weekly to the point where most of the workers know my order I clearly understand the rules. I have always been gently reminded to buy stuff never berated harshly. And if I have already bought stuff and show them they’ve always apologized. I would have understood if the store was full as we were no longer buying anything but there were empty seats and they’re busy hour (our school lunch time) would not have been for another 20 minutes and we would have left by then. If you go to holy heart and want Tim’s go to church hill instead.

A post shared from Facebook I figured people deserve to read how ridiculous they are! So I’m at Tim Hortons on Harvey Rd about 4:45 this morning. Ordered a coffee and when I pulled around to the side to pay I noticed a man sitting over on the curb so I asked for another coffee and immediately the guy said if ur buying for that homeless guy over there I can’t serve you. I told him it was for a friend. He said I know u are buying it for that guy ( he said we are not allowed to serve the homeless). He is assuming the man was homeless He also said if u give it to him that I would not get served there anymore and he would remember me. Has it really gotten that bad around here. So whatever happened to the Newfoundland and Labrador that people say are the nicest people in the world.

Ordered a lg tea off the mobile app only to later discover it didn’t have the 3 milk or 3 sugar I requested to have in the drink so when I brought it back 20 mins later they didn’t even bother offering me the basic courtesy of remaking a new one just added the missing components to the already cold drink. Gross. Avoid this location

Tim’s is my go to place for everyday food and coffee ! So as I go to Tim’s I do survey regularly from my receipts. Today as usual I went to this particular tims and I wanted a French vanilla and I showed my survey code from my phone which I do regularly and they refused to give me the discount. I told the employee I always show the code from my phone I never carry receipt every other tims accepted my coupons and gave me the coffee for $1. I had to explain myself to both their supervisor and employee for the survey coupon. I’m really disappointed and dissatisfied with their service. Their customer service is very poor I must say . I would highly recommend them to improve their service.

This Tim's and a worker threatening to ban a customer because of him trying to buy a homeless man food or coffee. Shame on you, it's very discriminatory to lump in all homeless people with troublemakers, and to threaten to ban people who want to help the homeless with a cheap drink or meal is beyond lowest of humanity, you guys better speak to your employees or change your tune, because this is getting sent off to the media to expose just how discriminatory some staff at this tims can be. It's a sad world. Check your privilege and do better because that could be you homeless one day.

Went through the drive thru yesterday and ordered two bagels toasted - one with butter, one with cream cheese. Received 2 bagels - not toasted one bit!!!!! 2 dry bagels with a big hunk of cream cheese and butter on them. Only because I was in a rush to be somewhere, I would have went back in total disgust. I frequent here 2-3 times a day most days and have had it with how often my order is wrong but this was the ultimate let down. Do better. There is no customer service or remorse for anything at this location anymore.

The Traditional Coffee House and Deli is a great place to get coffee, sandwiches, pastries, or anything else you may need for breakfast or lunch. The staff are very friendly and the food is always made fresh. I would highly recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a great place to eat.
It was our first visit and it was absolutely delicious! The turnip bacon soup was so flavourful and the turkey & dressing sandwich with cranberry mayo, the best I’ve had. I would definitely recommend to anyone. The staff were all lovely as well. My daughter really enjoyed her Sweet Chili Chicken Wrap with side Apple Salad too ❤️ l loved the selections of teas, and my husband enjoyed his coffee. Wish I lived closer to try more things. If you are in the area, definitely stop by. If you are not close by, it is worth the drive. Stop at Middle Cove beach after to make a great afternoon of it.

Whether you need great food to go or fresh hot meals to dine-in, this spot is a must visit especially for hungry hikers. I got the club sandwich and my wife got the ham and Swiss and both were delicious. The bread was superb (maybe from the Torbakery down the road?) And they really hit the spot. Service is amiable and prompt. I'd say we'd be back but we're from out of province 😭.

Went there on one of there musical Thursday nights just to make it special. Arrived early to have a great meal before the perfomance. And a great meal it was! I had the turkey clubhouse sandwich with a half order of the apple salad. The clubhouse was made with all REAL ingrediants. Thick slices of turkey, nicely crisp bacon, fresh tomato and lettuce on homemade bread. It doesn't get any better than that. The salad was all fresh ingredients (right time of year) with the owner's secret dressing which complimented the flavours perfectly.. She then surprised us with fresh homemade apple flips (not on the menu and still warm) with a local coffee blend that finished the meal in the best way possible. Settled back for some local entertainment presented by the Torbay Arts Council and that made the night. Worth while to go there anytime they're open, but Thursdays are a special time....always fun.

My family and I had a great experience here on our way back home after a hike. The staff were all very friendly - and the food is awesome! I ordered the turkey club with the cheddar and broccoli soup, with a partridgeberry tea biscuit. Everything was great! The club wrap had real shredded turkey (not that store bought cold-cut stuff) and was a great size! Soup: amazing. And the biscuit was fluffy and delicious. The best thing is that the prices here are INCREDIBLY good. Good luck finding a better meal for this price ANYWHERE. We'll be back!

Walked 2.5 kms from hotel to this Tim Horton’s first thing in the morning. On arrival, saw that the dine in area was closed due to remodelling. Went to the drive through area. Within a few minutes, staff stopped the traffic and took my order. When the order was ready, staff stopped the traffic again and I picked up my order. Told the staff they made my morning!!

Rolling off the ferry in the early morning mist, bleary-eyed and craving something familiar, the Tim Hortons in Port aux Basques feels like a beacon. It’s not fancy—just your standard Tims with the usual suspects but in that moment, it’s perfect. The smell of fresh brew, the hum of locals chatting, the warmth cutting through the Atlantic chill—it all hits differently when you’ve just crossed the Cabot Strait. There’s something quietly comforting about seeing that red and white sign first thing, like Newfoundland’s way of saying, “Welcome. You made it.”

In the same vein as the Bagel Cafe, a very Georgetown style cafe with good food, good coffee and a reserved quiet experience. It’s a bit off the beaten tourist path but a lovely walk from downtown. In the time I was there there were several lovely people doing work on laptops. Apparently this is a popular place to telecommute from. Or perhaps work on that Doctoral Thesis. You get the Idea. Decent an relaxed. Good for getting away from the busy national chain coffee shops. Also good to support local. Odd that it’s closed in the evening. I would imagine this place would do well with live acoustic music and a larger dinner menu. It’s worth the trip.

Went here for the first time with the idea of exploring a local cafe in St.john's and seems I was at the perfect place. People who love the smell of coffee more than its taste (like me!) do try 'shot in the dark'. What else a person needs in life when good coffee in one hand and good book in another?!

Absolutely lovely. Dropped here randomly for breakfast on our way to Corner Brook after arriving on the ferry from Nova Scotia, and the detour was worth it. The coffee (both drip and espresso) was on point, waffles were delicious (really appreciate going the extra mile and chopping up the strawberries!), baked goods were varies and yummy, and the quiches had a pastry-esque crust which worked very well. Top it off with that Pride sticker on the front door and we've definitely found a hidden gem. Likely to return to Stephenville for this place alone (and maybe look around next time too)

This place is a disgrace they haven’t got one order right. My wedges are always raw same with my hash brown. There’s no bacon on my sandwich when I pay for extra bacon. My ice coffee so never filled to the top and are so water down. Had to wait 30 minutes for one pack of wedges that weren’t even cooked and forgot my chipotle sauce. If I knew that you had to pick the potatoes out of the ground wouldn’t have gotten it. The manger has a very rude tone. Doesn’t make me feel welcomed. No ice caps.

The cafe serves house-made sandwiches, salads, soups, and an array of delectable sweet treats such as Twix Cheesecake, M&M cookies, and blueberry scones.

Well I hate to leave a negative review and I didn’t think I would judging by the look of this place. Very cute cafe, lots of seating, a nice big patio, and a wonderful view. Unfortunately the coffee/food did not live up to the expectations. My iced latte tasted way more like milk than coffee and the flat white tasted a bit like old coffee grounds. The grilled cheese was decent but a bit overpriced considering the portion size and the sides that were provided. However, I think if they up their coffee/food game a bit more this place could be special!

This might be against the grain of your average review so my negative experience may not be typical but this cafe was a bit of a let down. The space and people were nice but the coffee was extremely acidic, tasted burnt, and the steamed milk was just warm milk, no steam or froth at all. Very disappointed but bad coffee in a “coffee house” is hard to look past. As for the food the grilled cheese was fine but small and the side of chips, pickle, and carrot was nice but it couldn’t make up for the coffee. When it comes to grilled cheese I am a fan of the original cheese + bread combo so I wasn’t blown away by their addition of pesto, tomato, bacon, etc. to the sandwich. It wasn’t bad tho, just not necessary. It is totally possible that my bad coffee was an anomaly in which case disregard this review. Guess I’ll have to give it another shot sometime 🤷

The place is decorated beautifully. Great day to sit out on the patio and enjoy the view. The food was reasonably priced and very tasty. The server did not know what a macchiato was. Instead settled for a latte that was not incredible. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. I would definitely come here again but probably just try the drip coffee.

We were back in Clarenville area today so we stopped by Bare Mountain Coffee and enjoyed a Blueberry Scone and a lemonade. My wife had cheesecake and coffee, my daughter had Hot Chocolate and a Blueberry Scone and her BF had latte. As usual the food was delicious and the service great. It was warm so we sat in the Adirondack Chairs on the deck overlooking the Ocean. Exceptional local business offering great food and service in a restored home on the water right in Clarenville.

The place itself was beautiful and great view of the ocean. The food was tasty but the coffee and tea could improve. My wife had a $4.25 chai tea latte however the tea bag was from superstore. The coffee was weak and size of the cup was very small.

Cute little cafe in a beautiful heritage home, dating from the 1800s (probably haunted). The staff were super friendly and the ambiance was exactly as you'd hope to expect from a cafe nestled on the ocean side in NFLD. The scones we're okay, but the real money is the cinnamon buns. I'll get that next time.

The Parlour is an excellent ice cream shop located near Bannerman Park. The Gelato here is top quality, with a wide range of flavours to choose from. There are also delicious scones on offer, making it the perfect spot for a casual afternoon treat. The coffee is also of great quality, and never disappoints.
Nice coffee, friendly service, not many seats available. Huuuuuge size of Gelato to me. Worth the coin
Bobby X — Google review
Staff are incredibly friendly !!!!!! OK, so this is my second visit to the parlor. In 24 hours…. I managed to try the triple chocolate, which is delicious and the salted caramel Yummm. Both times I got the chocolate coconut because it Takes my breath away, it’s so delightful. See you tomorrow afternoon before I fly home. I’ll be dreaming of you until next time!!
Liz — Google review
They have the best gelato I’ve ever had. Their jam jam flavour is absolutely incredible, so smooth and filled with huge pieces of jam jam! Their scoops are also pretty big, so it’s well worth it. The people working there are also very nice! My favourite place to stop for a sweet treat.
Max P — Google review
Unfortunately, my experience at this place was very disappointing. I ordered two kinds of ice cream - a sorbet and a raspberry-based flavor - and both tasted terrible. The flavors were completely bland, artificial, and nothing like what was advertised. It felt like eating plain, colored ice with no real taste. What made it even worse was the atmosphere. The place was extremely noisy and chaotic. People were shouting across the room, making it impossible to relax or even hear your own thoughts. It was not a comfortable or welcoming environment at all. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for quality ice cream or a peaceful spot to enjoy their treat.

We were told by a local to give this place a try. Definitely satisfied our sweet tooth craving. The ladies working were very polite and also offered us samples to try as we were indecisive with all the options. Hazelnut was very good. Highly recommend to others!!

A small hidden gem in this city tucked away in a quiet parking lot. Fantastic coffee, tea, and food. Free WiFi available. Quiet location. I particularly like that they don't really play music here over stereo systems & if they do they don't blast it, which is great for those who have sensory isssues. May look closed from the outside but don't let the cooling window curtains fool you. It has a comfortable and homey atmosphere, comfortable seating, and amazing staff. Sometimes staff may be bored but I get that having worked retail where customers are not always coming at all times. Drive through is still broken sadly (come on corporate it's been almost a year now!). They have had a rough time with things breaking & not getting prompt repair. Maybe due to no local franchises owner of the establishment (re lockout a few years ago, I think owned by corporate again). I don't hold this against the staff though, as I'm sure they are just as frustrated (cough, espresso machine breakdown & drive through broken). I've seen way worse cafes & this isn't going to be your hippy modern posh cafe, but this is my homey escape from the busy world for me & that is why I keep coming back. Recommend trying the chocolate dipped oatcakes and their mocachino!
Diana B — Google review
I ordered a mochaccino and was very disappointed because they were serving their drinks in takeaway cups. They have so many images of coffee cups and latte art. I think the staff were just lazy and didn’t want to wash cups cause all of the customers had takeaway cups. Very disappointed. Won’t be coming back, rather go to the battery cafe.

With so many other establishments in the area selling coffee and baked goods, the Second Cup is a hidden gem for some good coffee if you haven't been. Their iced coffees and smoothies are both very delicious and refreshing. The oat flax smoothie is hands down one of the best I have had from a coffee shop in the city. The only thing I disliked was that that they have not made the transition to more eco-friendly wares like paper straws. They also still use plastic cutlery which seems a bit dated - maybe to save on some cost? My rating would be higher had it not been for those drawbacks. Obviously for some, this won't matter, and it in no way affects my opinion on their food and beverage offerings as they are very good. I normally try to do without a straw if I can avoid it; however, if you do prefer to avoid plastic, make sure to bring your reusables! The service was also very good the last time I visited. It was early in the morning during the breakfast rush, and the barista had prepared me a smoothie, iced coffee, breakfast sandwich, and two cookies - all roughly under five minutes on their own and with a big smile no less. I highly value service and it easily stands out, which is very important to me.

Stavanger Dr. Location: The pumpkin spice cold foam espresso, pistachio white hot chocolate (that I sampled from my sister) and chocolate peanut butter balls were delicious! It was my first time having Second Cup and I enjoyed the beverages more than other café's. I look forward to trying more from there. The service I experienced was fantastic. The atmosphere was pretty nice. Music was enjoyable to listen to.
