On our way out of a the sleepy village of Ingonish, we stopped off at the Bean Barn to get breakfast to go. Instead, we sat down to eat a solid breakfast.

Located in an old home, it is quaint and clean. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich and due to the size, we decided to split the sandwich which was a good decision.

After a long, 5 hour drive, from Halifax to Ingonish we weren't really in the mood for a…read moresit-down-proper-table-manner type dinner. We went to Doucette's (Pizza Twice) for some fast food-esq take out to bring back to our cottage. We got the 'cheesey donair fingers' and a 12 inch 'double bacon cheeseburger sub' to share. The donair fingers were basically garlic fingers with pieces of donair meat on them - you can't really do garlic fingers wrong, so these were pretty decent. The sub on the other hand was anything but cheeseburger-y, and I don't recall any bacon at all. It consisted of a mushy hamburger spread with cheese, onions and marinara sauce. Who puts marinara on a cheeseburger? The best part about this entire sub was the baguette-bun, it was fresh, big, soft and delicious - I would just try a different version next time. This store is one of your only options for treats and snacks in Ingonish - it is kind of pricey though. The girl behind the Pizza Twice counter was... emotionless. But, the lady at the cash was super nice so it made up for it!

The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

What a gem! First…read more experience at this place and what an experience it was!!! Service was fantastic. People were great. We had a small sampling of their menu, which included a combination pizza. And the dough was excellent, not too thick, not too thin, chewy...and yet slightly crispy, the way we like it at least, and the toppings were good. Cheese was good quality also. The only issue was that the toppings were a little bit centrally located on our pizza. The last 3 or so inches towards the crust had cheese and pepperoni but none of the other toppings that came with the pizza... A very minor point for us though. Tried the Panko breaded onion rings and they were crispy and delicious. I would've preferred a bit of seasoning but that's personal taste. They were great. ... even cold a couple hours later when by surprise and to my delight, I came upon one left in the box. The cauliflower bites were also very good, soft and flavourful, not too much breading, which is key, and a nice little dipping sauce to go with it. The Donair was nothing short of immaculate! As one would expect on the East Coast I can't really say enough about the Donair...just get one! Get 3! Share with no one!!! Also got the Donair sub to give it a try and it was very good. I don't know that it had Donair sauce...it didn't seem like it did at least I didn't taste it so maybe that was just me or maybe it comes a little different than a Donair. I would've liked to have had Donair sauce on there ( or more if it was) and a little bit more meat for the sub would be nice, but still tasty delicious! And not skimpy on meat! to be clear. The pickle spears were as good as pickle spears get. Really really well done! Delicious, great size and crispy. And the prices for everything... you'd swear it was 25 years ago! at least! The pricing is amazing and if that place can keep the pricing around that, I guarantee you whatever they might be losing in extra profit compared to other places and what they charge for similar items..surely they're making up in volume! And that's the thing very few businesses These days seem to understand. Keep the prices low to keep the customers happy and they will come back and you will make as much, if not more profit than you would keeping the prices up high. The prices are fantastic you will not beat them. If you're thinking about stopping in on your way through, because I know if you are a local you are likely intimately familiar with this place (how could you not be?) you really need to stop and eat here!!! you'll never regret it. You will want to go back.... you will want to stay longer just so you can go back! I wish I had an Andrew's pizzeria and my hometown! No word of a lie. Great job folks! Keep up the amazing and delicious work! You are appreciated!
