    Sharlene M.

    This is a new-ish edition to Kingston... meaning it has only been here for a couple of years. It's a sit down coffee shop built into an old house. The set-up is a bit odd and you have to walk through tables of people eating to get to the take-out counter. All food and pastries are cooked/baked in-house using good old fashioned ingredients (flour, butter, sugar, milk) so there are no extras that you usually find in cafe foods (e.g. corn syrup, soy solids, and those suspicious "natural flavours"). This is great for my daughter who has a corn allergy. As for the coffee... they have espresso based drinks: lattes, cappuccinos. For non-dairy they use Pacific brand almond and soy milk; this is the best for making non-dairy based drinks because it's not too sweet and doesn't fall apart when steamed (the soy tastes just like milk). My latte was decent but not exceptional because the barista overheated the soy milk. I struggled with this rating and waffled between a 3-star/4-star. I settled with a "4-star" rating because this is the best espresso based coffee you are going to get in the Valley outside of Wolfville and the people who work here are really sweet.

    Great service, coffee was ok, food was good. Reason for 3 stars is it is a cafe so coffee should be high quality coffee.

    We wanted to like this spot. Sadly, food quality was below average, portion size is tiny, and pricing is outrageous.

It's right on the water with a nice, relaxing view, great food, and friendly staff. They even a little convenience section where you can buy laundry detergent and other essentials, as well as refrigerated prepared foods to take home. I can't get over the aesthetic and the view. It's so cute and fits the North Atlantic feel so well. I went with the Newfie Poutine, because I love poutine and I love to try twists on classic recipes. This was sort of like a Thanksgiving poutine, but with chicken instead of turkey. In addition to the normal gravy and cheese, it also had stuffing and cranberry. Everything went together so well, and it was delicious and filling. There was one woman working at the time, who both served as our waitress and the chef. So impressive!

The salad was amazing and fully loaded. The dessert had to have been the star of the show though, not pictured but it was the chocolate coconut cream pie. Absolutely delicious. I would go back for that item alone. The service was very friendly and helpful in deciding what to order.

Super friendly dude with a delicious menu. Also, handled a curveball really well. It started raining during the rehearsal dinner and he improvised and made it all work!

    I love me the Nomad Gourmet…read more My first experience was at a Local Connections Halifax event linked up with Propeller Beer. Bought a ticket, got beer and NG burgers. It was beer and burger heaven for the evening. My second experience was sampling their sausages on a bun when checking out the Man Show part of the Exhibition Park Christmas Craft Fair. One thing is clear, you don't have to be a man to enjoy the tasty morsels being served up from the NG kitchen. And then this weekend I got to try breakfast Nomad style. I chose to "build my own breakfast' for $4. The way this works is you get an egg and hash browns and add on things at your choosing for extra $. I added some bacon and got the BEST BACON of my life. It was perfectly grilled and made my weekend. The egg was fried egg perfection and there were too many hash browns for me to eat. The hash browns are real local potatoes cooked on the grill and have a charbroiled taste to them. Pro-tip - NG will now be at the Halifax Seaport Market on weekend mornings as long as there isn't a cruise ship in harbour. Extra Pro-tip - I didn't try the breakfast sandwich - but people - it's homemade Belgian waffles with chicken!! One final tip - when your handsome pirate brother has a new baby the way to the new parents hearts is to bring Nomad Gourmet burgers to the hospital for lunch the day after the baby is born. That way both new parents are happily stuffing their faces with burger goodness and you get your brand new niece all to yourself! (at least until the burgers are devoured...)
