The bagel is a bit on the smaller side than what I am used to, but it still hit the spot. The interior is a bit eclectic, and there are some picnic benches you can sit at outside. You can also order inside or outside.

The Battery Cafe seems to be sort of a landmark in St John's. It's right at the corner where people…read morewho are driving to Signal Hill must pass by. We walked to both places so driving and parking was not a problem. Interestingly there were a lot of classic vehicles going by. You can order beer, cocktails, soup, sandwiches and even coffee. We sat outside at the deck. It was really nice to sit and watch the people, cars and motorcycles pass by. The sandwiches ar interesting and not oversized or over priced. There is secure WiFi although it seemed to have difficulty reaching the deck. If you walked to Signal Hill you should stop at the Battery Cafe because you'll walk right past it and you deserve it. The Newfoundland sundae with jam and ice cream is worth ordering on a warm day.

I stopped by here for breakfast because it was close to where I was staying. I ordered the griddle…read moresandwich and a tea. The lady behind the counter explained that it's like a McGriddle but better, and she was right. The buns had the perfect amount of sweetness to balance the aavouriness of the bacon and egg. I sat upstairs and it's very cozy, sort of like your eccentric aunt's living room. I would definitely come back again to try other items or maybe tue dinner.

There are lots of tables. The sound level ideal as it was pleasant and yet we could have a conversation without feeling conspicuous. The sandwiches were delicious. I swapped half my roasted vegetable sandwich with my wife who had a turkey with avocado sandwich. They were both very good. One thing was that the bottom of mine was soggy but that happens. The turkey sandwich bun was not at all soggy. We enjoyed our drinks and sitting and watching the people go by. The staff were friendly and helpful. You wait for drinks at the counter but they bring food orders to your table. That's a great way to to it as it doesn't take nearly as long to make drinks as it does food. We were walking so I can't comment on parking. I'm sure they have WiFi but I didn't check. I highly recommend Coffee Matters because they've got what I like.

We arrived in St. John's, Newfoundland early this afternoon. This is our second visit, having been…read morehere two years ago as part of our Iceland cruise, so I was already somewhat familiar with the area. After arriving, I ventured off the ship on my own and made my way to Water Street for a little shopping. While exploring the area, I came across this charming coffee shop. Esther and Jomana were working behind the counter today, and both were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and warm. I ordered a hot mocha latte, a Portuguese tart, and a Nutella strawberry brioche, all of which were homemade. Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The mocha latte was rich and comforting, while the pastries were the perfect sweet treats to enjoy during an afternoon of exploring the city. I thoroughly enjoyed everything I ordered and was very happy with my choices. Combined with the excellent service from Esther and Jomana, it made for a wonderful stop during my afternoon in St. John's. I would gladly return the next time I am in town and highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone looking for delicious homemade pastries, excellent coffee, and genuine Newfoundland hospitality.

My guess is that Red…read moreOak is the catering company that operates this scenic (with a killer view of the waterfront including the Narrows) at the Rooms. The restaurant is on a higher floor and once we were done with our Lunch we explored The Rooms from Top to Bottom. Since Newfoundland (and Labrador) is a maritime province we wisely chose seafood dishes, Seafood Stew for Gayle and Cod Cakes for me. Of course we shared. Washing all that down (besides water) was a wee pint of local ale from me and an Oyster Bay (New Zealand) Chardonnay for Gayle. It was all delicious and with stellar service to match. This dining experience was certainly a great start to our St. John's visit.
