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.

Thank you to manager Troy, who hails from the lovely state of Queensland, Australia, baristas know how to make a coffee (at least that's what I think!). At the bottom of signal hill, it's on the way from a hike, and not too far out of the way if you want to pick a coffee up on the way to work.

We liked the outdoor seating so I thought it would be a great spot for a morning breakfast. The serving staff was very friendly and kind. We ordered two lattes and three breakfast sandwiches and we're a bit sticker shocked when the total came to $55. The breakfast sandwiches were ok but pretty greasy but the lattes were good. Overall a nice spot but the value for what you get wasn't great.

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.

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.

International friends, the coffee is rich, aromatic, but not overly bitter or acidic. Perfect mix to settle in either indoors or at one of a few tables outside, and enjoy a weekend afternoon.

For two, plan on paying over 50 dollars for breakfast! If paying that much, you would think there would be at least someone refilling your coffee mugs, but even that you have to get up and request a refill! The Grounds breakfast costs 24 dollars, but over easy eggs were not, the muffin roll was over done on the bottom, and the bacon was under cooked and off tasting! The quiche had a nice crust, but lacked flavor, basically no flavor! Their pastry looked fresh and delicious! It and their coffee were the highlight of the meal!

The name implies ice cream - which they have... BUT being the cold and wet day it was in St. John's today I was in search of a hot beverage and sweet. Cafe latte in one hand and an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie in the other, I was prepared to face the cold winds coming in through the harbour. Not good. Unfortunately I have to be honest. I did not enjoy my latte. It was much like drinking a cup of hot milk. Maybe they only use 1 shot of espresso for medium lattes. I didn't ask.... and I also didn't finish drinking the latte. The cookie was 6/10. It was a large and very flat cookie. Not sure what the baking trick is to prevent your cookie batter from spreading out to far and neither do they. The cookie consistency was a crispy around the edge with a soft chewy center. I ate the whole thing. Maybe next time I will try their ice cream but for today I have to say there are other local coffee purveyors I will stick with while I'm here.
