I waited while they made a fresh urn, and they must have done something wrong because the 'coffee' that we were served was coffee-scented hot water. I've never dumped a coffee before this one. Oh, and don't bother with the bathrooms - there is no light switch and so the bathrooms are completely dark once you shut the door. The baking did look yummy. The place was otherwise cute. But DO NOT go here for coffee.

Several nights a week this operates as a restaurant called Fork with a different menu. Smells like bacon at lunch. Clean, bright, spotless and incredible view. Across the bay from ecological reserve for puffins - hoping to see some fly by! :) Friendly service, helpful with allergies. Perhaps a bit absentminded. Everything seems to be scratch made including the desserts. Naturally given the aroma there was a lot of bacon ordered at our table. Tasty BLT on fresh bread. Tangy lemon coconut square. Edit: washrooms - must deposit used toilet paper into a garbage can. Foot pedal on the garbage can does not work so you must use your hands to open it.

Incredibly scenic setting. Just look at the pictures. It's an iconic fishing harbour with one restaurant. Not touristy at all. All unstained wood. The cafe itself is quintessential Newfoundland simplicity. A must stop on the Irish Loop. Less than 20 minutes from St. John's...if you don't get lost. Most folks here come from town.

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. Only complaint is that it's only open weekends but a little bird has told me that this might be changing come May 2017. Fingers crossed!

Parking was tight but we squeezed in. I ordered the soup of the day and a fish cake. Both were…read morefresh and delicious. Both had a homemade taste and texture to them. I really liked the fish cake but one is never enough. It was mostly fish rather than the other stuff. I recommend both the soup and especially the fish cakes ($4.49 each in 2023). There is free WiFi so you can browse through your phone rather than talking to your guests if so desired. It's quite large inside so even if the parking lot is full there probably a table waiting for you. Washrooms were large and clean. The service was genuine and pleasant. We ordered dessert which we rarely do but the descriptions were enticing. I felt compelled to taste at least one of them. I really can't think of any negatives. Even the prices were quite reasonable. Well they were a bit high for the dessert but that's to discourage excessive eating. . If you are reading this you've probably already decided to eat here so enjoy.

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!).

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.

I didn't need the meal. I also appreciated her authentic Newfoundland accent!!

Tried the 'dressing and gravy' that is a Newfoundland thing, and that was interesting enough, but overall this was a lackluster dining experience. I noticed that the group beside us left much of their food on the table and refused to pay for some of it, which they claimed to have arrived cold. The system to pay is odd - I had to tell the woman what I'd ordered and she rang it up. I realized after we'd driven halfway to Portugal Cove South that I'd forgotten to remind her about the orange juice that we ordered. Why don't they keep a written tab like everyone else? I felt badly but wasn't about to drive back to pay for a $1.50 item. Anyhow, I'd aim for a Lighthouse Picnic (highly praised!!) over this place if at all possible.
