Since I love cupcakes and had some time to kill, I decided to walk in. As I opened the door, I walked into a delicious, sweet smell of cupcakes. I reached the counter and saw the different cupcakes. After staring for a good 10 minutes, I decided on the strawberry daiquiri. The cake was soft with bits of strawberries. The frosting wasn't too sweet and went perfect with the cake. It was probably one of the best cupcakes I ever had. I was a bit disappointed that I had to limit myself to one cupcake (I've been eating since the cruise started). They did have a mini cupcake sampler set that had a lot of their flavors. It also looks like they do cakes too. It was a very cute shop with fun and adorable decoration. Take a peek if you're in town.

The sticky bun instead have their paste on top of their bun and gets melted when baked. I prefer this over the cinnamon bun as cinnamon buns are often too strong on the cinnamon and too sweet.

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.

Clean inviting space with lots of seating including a few outdoor tables. The place was almost full mid morning on a weekday so it seems to be a popular spot! Service was really friendly.

Would be wonderful if they could expand to offer breakfast and lunch options, but for now it's a delightful place to visit for coffee and a snack.

It's a little hard to start this review as my thoughts are just as much all over the map as this…read moreplace is. It's brand new and in the space of an old antique shop so I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume there will be some finessing of details here. First, we stopped in because it's supposed to be a bakery so we were going to get a treat to eat. From the get-go, the giant sand parking lot isn't very appealing especially when people are stirring it up in your face as they pull into the lot or leave. There are also some awkwardly placed picnic benches crammed into the corner of the property so expect to be trampling into the weeds if you're going to sit at one. Also - no umbrellas and again, a bunch of dust while you are eat/sit. Going in, it was quite confusing. We didn't realize this is a sit down restaurant but they also have ice cream and they sell baked goods. We assumed a bakery would have a nice selection of items but there is a weird two-sided shelf with very poorly displayed mediocre looking baked goods. Everything here is wrapped in plastic and it doesn't look overly appealing. There are also a few trays on the very awkward counter but we opted to just pass on the baked goods as nothing really looked worthwhile so we bought a few drinks and decided to leave. Paying is another interesting event here as there's nowhere to even put your purchases and wallet down while you pay, adding to the oddity of the place. We were shocked at such an extensive menu for a brand new place that bills itself as a bakery. Chicken dinner? A little odd. It seems like way too many things are going on at once here for anything to actually be done great. Overall, we did not have a good first impression and we definitely won't be rushing back. If you're craving good, quality baking, drive a few more minutes down the road to Bee's Knees where you'll get the real goods!
