PEI is not flush with bakeries nor do people flock to the island thinking about baked goods…read more However, after you polish off a dozen oysters and a lobster it may be nice to wash it down with a freshly baked pie or a cookie. On that note the Old Village Bakery can certainly deliver. Everything is wonderfully home made and very tasty. Now, I must say that if you are on the other side of the island, I'm not sure that I woudl tell you to drive all the way here just for the baked goods. However, if you are in the general area you it is definitely worth a stop!

Stopped by to grab brunch while I was in downtown Charlottetown for a musical since this place had…read moregood reviews and I'd never had a savoury french toast before. The mochaccino and savoury french toast were very high quality (came out to around $27ish for both after tip). The caramelized onions and cheese on the french toast alongside the maple syrup made for a very good sweet and savoury flavour kick -- if you don't eat much, you could definitely share since I had trouble finishing it! The mochaccino was also not too sweet and had a good balance between coffee and chocolate, I could see why it was so busy on a Sunday morning so come early if you can :) There's a variety of seating (outdoor and by the fireplace as well) and the ambiance was lively.

Got their salami sandwich (focaccia bread), maple danish, and mocacino. Everything was delicious!…read more The salami sandwich, despite being sarang wrap was super fresh. Lots of lettuce and had tomatoes and pickles too. Sundried tomato mayo and havarti cheese as well. Everything was perfectly balanced. The maple danish was so good. Like a dark/amber maple syrup. It wasn't too sweet either. The mocacino had a nice dark chocolate flavour to it too.

It was a bright and sunny August afternoon and we had finished perusing the butterfly garden up the…read morehill. We strolled down through the beautiful gardens to the restaurant perched on the riverbanks. The restaurant does not optimize for volume or turnover and we had a 45 minute wait. We enjoyed the adjoining shop and their selection of jams and spread. The wait was worth it! The room is a bright large room overlooking the river. Handmade quilts hang from the ceiling. We started with nachos, that had the right blend of cheese and toppings. Unfortunately there were no side plates brought, causing us to eat like animals from a common trough. A slight mishap with a spilled glass of water interrupted our otherwise pleasant appetizer. The server's attention was less than prompt causing us to get extra napkins from directly behind the counter. Still, we soldiered on and prepared for the main feast. The seafood chowder was one of the better ones all trip. Fresh and flavourful pieces in a cream broth, served with a fresh side biscuit. The real opportunity is to highlight the delicious jams and spreads from the shop which would add some much needed flavour to the biscuits. Other meals included kids pasta, kids jam sandwich, a club sandwich, fish cakes and a Caesar salad. All were promptly devoured. A great location with fresh food and pleasant service. Worth the wait!

A glass of wine might have eased the gap; but they were already out of red.

We sat outside, enjoying the summer air and watching the downtown hum along. The food here leans simple but thoughtful. The Island Hot Cake was fluffy and satisfying, and the Fry Up breakfast (with bacon) hit all the right notes--especially the potatoes. Maybe it's just PEI magic, but even as a side, they stand out. Our lattes and matcha latte were smooth and well-crafted, and the pacing felt unhurried in the best way. Service was friendly without being overbearing, and it's the kind of place where you can linger with your coffee without feeling rushed.
