Stopped in here while driving from Sydney to Halifax on a sunny Thanksgiving Monday morning because…read morea friend recommended it for an easy breakfast. When I walked in the door, a regular customer was standing there and immediately chatted, to the point that I thought he was the owner. LOL Once I realized he wasn't, I took a two-seater booth at the rear. There are are handful of basic wooden booths, convenience store items on the left, kitchen in the back. A small house converted into a very simple business. Lots of free parking. I ordered the all day breakfast of two bacon, two eggs, toast & hashbrowns for $8.5, which includes coffee. Very simple but satisfying. The younger male who served me got chatting and then explained that he bought the place and now runs it, so there is no Mr and Mrs, but he kept the name and everything else the same. Busy in the summer with the campground across the street, quieter in the off season, but apparently still does well enough to keep it open. I'd definitely pop in again another time again and maybe try a club, burger or fish & chips.

Yoforia is a new establishment. The owner, Tony, told us he'd been open only four weeks. The shop…read moreis clean, bright, and offers 10 rotating flavors of frozen yogurt. The quality was excellent, definitely a high-end product, rich and creamy. He gave us tastes of several flavors, and I was surprised at how delicious the natural flavor was - I usually skip that one at yogurt places. While the prices were considerably higher than what we pay in the United States, it was definitely a delicious experience.

Tim Hortons are my favorite place to get a cup of coffee and a doughnut. The problem is there are…read moreno stores anywhere near me. So when we travel to Canada it's one of the first things we look for in a city. We found this one right away and went to get our hot Latte and a sweet fat chocolate doughnut. Service was fast and friendly. Very nice.

A small but bustling hub in the everyday business of Sydney River. The shopping plaza Tim Hortons…read morehas become a favorite for the old and young alike, providing a cozy but busy atmosphere with great service. The Good: Bordering banks, retail outlets and grocery stores, this Tim Hortons is conveniently close by when running errands or aimlessly browsing. The staff are always on the top of their game when I order here; friendly, attentive and super quick with their double doubles. The Bad: The relatively small size compared to other eat-in Tim Hortons may mean a lack of a seat during peak ours during the day. The popularity of this location can also mean long lines during morning and lunch rushes. The Conclusion: Awesome spot to grab a coffee and catch up with friends during off peak hours. Great staff go a long way in making this one of the best Tim Hortons in the Sydney area.

I was in for supper last night.

So admittedly I'm just a tourist at this grocery store. But I can tell you it's one of the few…read moreSobeys I've ever truly liked. The layout makes a lot of sense to me (important when you're a stranger in a strange land) and I easily find whatever I'm seeking. Prices are good - I've never felt my usual ire that Sobeys seems more expensive than Superstore. Staff are very friendly. I was there to pick up some food trays that my friends ordered. Except my friends ordered it for the wrong time. I was there seven hours before it would actually be ready. Seven hours! Nonetheless, the staff were able to whip together one of the trays and have the other ready to go soon after. Tip: If you fuel up at the adjacent gas station, you get savings on your next Sobeys purchase.

Is it just me or do you think that Swiss Chalet (In general, not just this location!) went downhill…read morein the last few years too??I feel like the portions got smaller and the prices got higher. How is that fair? I love the quarter chicken (or any chicken) dinners here... but if I didn't have the dipping sauce I don't think the chicken would be as good, it is kind of bland. Then again, what is Swiss Chalet without their famous dipping sauce! I always get spicy, which really isn't very spicy, but tasty either way! I also find that the bread rolls that come with your meal are always hard, especially the multigrain ones. On a positive note, I love the garlic cheese loaf, my all time favorite appetizer. Actually, they do have a lot of great appetizers here. Service is pretty fast but average; and it seems like there are always a lot of servers standing around chatting - do they forecast to be busier than they are? Great spot for larger groups and children, not so much for a romantic dinner, or one on one date where it can be quite noisy on a busy day.
