    Cool little coffee place. Has great food and atmosphere. Not sure what else I can say about it but yelp won't post this unless I come up with 27 more words, so there you go. But great place give it a try

    Lovely cafe! Great interior seating and windows on a corner. Nice baked goods and prepared foods (the breakfast sandwich is tasty), friendly staff.

    This place is perfect to get some studying done or just a comfy place outside your home to hang out, relax and snack. They have a hot menu and a sandwich and simple drink menu. I'm from out of town and I've been here twice in a few days so it's local and non local friendly. Everything is decently priced each visit has been between $15-25 dollars and all food and drink was made hot and quick. There is paid parking adjacent and street parking if you find it. There are two bus stops just outside so it is quite accessable by transit. Coffee matters is also a five minute walk to St John's government house and Bannerman park should you want to take your snack to go and eat in the park. This place doesn't have a lot of space for a big group of more than 4-5 people but it is great for kids.

    Blueberry lemon merengue cheese cake, oat cake and two cups of tea: monk's blend and vanilla chai.

    The sweet potato soup and turkey sandwich were fantastic, as was the shiva latte! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Great place!

    Whether at our home base in the Halifax area or abroad, my wife and I enjoy relaxing over a coffee,…read moreadult beverage or tasty food, and it was in Bannerman that we were hoping to find all three. We swung by in the early afternoon, just after the lunch crowd at most places would be easing off, but Bannerman was impressively going strong from when we arrived through to our departure! We were seated at one of their picnic-esque tables near the back of the room, taking in the high ceilings and the lovely work done to reuse this historic fire hall. I snagged a half pint of one of their light and refreshing lagers, while my wife partook in their caffeinated offerings. It's nice to be able to get both, and the warm, communal feeling of the space was a nice contrast to the cold and clinical vibe that can sometimes come with Third Wave places. Wanting to refuel after a dizzying hike on the North Head Trail, we ordered the mushroom flatbread, steamed buns, and pierogis. My wife's mushroom flatbread arrived first, with the not-pizza leaning heavily into savoury, earthy flavours with sauteed, locally harvested mushrooms, shaved truffles, and smoked gouda. While I fundamentally disagree with arugula being on pizzas and their brethren, its peppery bite helped cut through the otherwise rich flatbread. While I certainly shared my two apps, I was glad to have them mostly to myself! The food in general isn't inexpensive at Bannerman and $17 for two steamed buns was a bit of a pill to swallow, but the quality was thankfully there to back its price tag. Succulent, shredded pork was jam-packed into the pleasantly-chewy, folded buns, and topped with the contrasting tastes and textures of slices of white onion, crispy onions, and micro greens. The pierogi of the day had a lentil filling, and the savoury legumes lent themselves well to these deep-fried dumplings. The ultra-crispy exterior easily gave way to the doughy interior and the lentils within. Almost stealing the show was the onion confit sour cream, whose velvety smooth airiness had the perfect amount of caramelized onion flavour. Bannerman could/should sell this stuff on its own! Even after just one visit, it's easy to see how Bannerman's combination of craft beer,top-notch coffee, creative bites, and a beautiful space in an award-winning adaptive reuse has made for a place that's more than the sum of its parts, and has become a destination for locals and tourists alike.

    Lovely patio to sit on and eat/drink. Our food was excellent. The pierogis were crispy and salty…read morewith a delicious sour cream sauce. The carrots were al dente and also very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Overall a great place for dinner in St. John's

Out server was very polite and knew the menu very well. Every question was answered with a very polite, old world charm you don't see much anymore. Nothing like pride in one's job - bravo. Coffee refills come without being asked for and the nice carafe of lemon water is a nice touch. On over to the meal itself. The portions are generous and the ingredients right from the farm fresh. I was very happy with the frittata - the roasted potatoes that came with it were delicious beyond. Normally, you would not have desert with breakfast. Make an exception here - break a small rule in life just once. We had a bake apple cheesecake that was over the moon. Parking can be a challenge, but you should find a spot behind the grey building just across the road or up around the corner on the street.

    We had a late lunch here after our flight arrived in St. John's. The menu is quite small but…read moreeverything looks good. I had the breakfast quesadilla & hubby had the traditional. It was all delicious. The waitstaff were nice & also efficient. I love the views in this restaurant. The decor is classy but homey. Wood floors, light walls, some artwork on the walls. I would definitely eat here again. Just a note, this cafe is only open for breakfast & lunch. Not dinner.
