She was more excited by the fact that they decorated it around with gummy bears.Truly a kids heaven. I had a egg and cheese with onions and peppers.it was the best bread I had. love their indoor vibe and decor.Will definitely come back anytime we are visiting.

See all

This might be the best lunch spot around Baddeck. The menu focuses on soup, sandwiches, and salads but does all three of them very well. (Note: they also have amazing cheeses and desserts) The first soup we had here was a Creamy Sweet Potato that was amazing because of the deep rich flavour. The first sandwich was a chicken and roasted vegetable on beautifully toasted bread. Both the soup and the half sandwich was a perfect amount for lunch; they serve quality not quantity. Looking for a breakfast on the go? Check out their breakfast wraps which were made with crispy bacon and fresh eggs. Finally, the staff was very friendly and so were the other customers with people saying 'hi' and playing with our small child. The result is a great vibe from this place and we will be going back many times. read more

Went for lunch with clients. I've passed this place more times than I can count without ever giving it a thought. Service was absolutely amazing!!! On a recommendation, I had the Club House Sandwich. I've had this sandwich just about everywhere I have gone and I can say without a doubt, this was the best Club House Sandwich I have ever eaten! I was so impressed with the service, food and pricing, I have already recommended several family members to go there. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area or passing through. read more

Absolutely the best spot in CB hands down. I now take highway 105 to go to Sydney instead of Route 4 just because this place is so good. With amazing staff, and a fresh/organic eco conscious mindset, this cafe is the epitome of healthy and delicious food. The prices are a tad high (averaging $9 a sandwich) but their creations are delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The bread is home made in house, with choices like beer bread (made from Big Spruce beer), multi grain, whole wheat, white. etc. And the crispest ingredients. And the amazing cheeses. And the sun dried tomato sauce. All of these things add up to amazing sandwiches. The salads and soups change everyday and are also homemade in house. Again, great concoctions. Stand outs are the curried tuna and grilled veggie. The breakfast wraps are also delish! Soooo vegetarian friendly and vegan options too! Their bakery case is always filled with delectables. Raw and vegan truffles are a delight and the cookies are mmmmmm. The flourless cake- unbelievable! AND they serve Just us! coffee. Such a great option! I can not say more about this place. If you are used to the limited options for good food in CB you will understand why I love it here. read more

I went to Herring Choker twice on my road trip to Cape Breton at the end of May 2018. The first time was to get a cuppa while using their WiFi. I also got a sandwich while I was there. The added bonus was the excellent selection of books by local authors. I bought a stack to take home -- I love regional stories. I went back a few days later for a quick breakfast before starting my trip home. I bought two packets of their oatcakes to take home with me. Theirs were by far the best I had. They stayed very crisp almost two weeks later. Overall, my visits there were very pleasant. A nice, comfortable, clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and tasty food. read more

Excellent soup and salad combo. Big buttered cheese and chive biscuit. Great coffee and a variety of yummy pastries for desert. Good find!

My dad went to NS to celebrate his bday this weekend, and on a whim I decided to try to find a place that would deliver a birthday treat to his hotel room. I called and spoke with a lovely lady at Herring Choker who agreed to box up some local specialties, buy a card, and drive them over there herself! Then she wouldn't even accept a tip, so the best I can do is Yelp about it. Thanks you!! read more

This was highly rated by various friends who had done the Cabot trail as well as by locals we had met along the way. We went to the Herring Choker twice, the 1st time on the way in and the 2nd time a few days later on the way out. Service was spot on and ingredients were fresh. I had the breakfast wrap the first time and a turkey sandwich on oatmeal bread the second time. I had never had oatmeal bread before but apparently it's a big thing in Cape Breton (?). I would definitely recommend this little shop to others, especially since the options are rather slim around that area! read more

Yup! Had a great lobster sandwich on beer bread. Excellent restaurant.

Very cute and welcoming! The smoked beef and cheese sandwich has very light white bread and beef.

Excellent surprize in sleepy Baddeck (Bad-deck) neighborhood. Soup and sandwich joint with super fresh ingrediants and original combos. Make in house breads (get some to take with....) good salads and GREAT coconut crack balls. Staff is friendly and anxious to please clients. Stop and stay for lunch or get it to go with tour hike in Gros Morne Park, a visit to Baddeck itself (the restaurants there are not so good....) or your ferry ride. Good stuff! read more

This is an awesome place for breakfast and lunch. The home made scones, cinnomin buns, breads are outstanding. Sandwiches and soups are delicious and creative. Veggies, meats and premade salads give lots of variety. And the staff are great too. The dining area is simple, comfortable. There's a loft for kids to sit and play. Truly a gem. read more

A fantastic little joint along your travels. If your looking for a great place to grab a bite, don't hesitate to stop in.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way back to Halifax. I had a breakfast sandwich, and my husband had the wrap. Everything was so tasty and fresh. Great coffee too. The service was very friendly and pleasant, and the atmosphere was really mellow and lovely. I would highly recommend this cafe. read more
