The entire cafe has a cozy diner setup with plenty of seating. We decided to start the day with a simple bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich as well as a hot chocolate. The food was quickly prepared and brought to us. The hot chocolate was rich and warm while the sandwich was light yet filling. The cafe also offers boxed lunch options for the road which is a terrific option for travelers and visitors hitting the trail like us. My only complaint is that they were only open from Thursday to Monday, because I would easily return every morning!

The food is just alright, though I think a little pricey and overrated. We had a breakfast…read moresandwich, a Cuban, and a blueberry bread. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the seating areas are inviting. There are many options for baked goods and it was exceptionally busy. It looks like they roast their own beans.

Fantastic Place!! Think: Hot, steamy, crusty giant pancake!…read more 1. Don't let the word "pannekoek" distract you - when I ordered I asked for gluten free and the cook (CHEF) said he made gluten free pancakes (Pannekoek is a fancy word for more pancake than crepe) that were really good - and he was RIGHT! I had already had breakfast and I saw one of these - ordered it and took it with me. It was MAGNIFICIENT. I had it plain with powdered sugar and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. I tore chunks of the steaming sweet dough and ate it in bite-size chunks as we drove with windows down with chilly wind wafting through. Oh, my friends got regular (not gluten free) waffles that they said were terrrific! 2. Don't let their web site photos influence you - the food is a thousand times better than the photos look! 3. Here is the reason we stopped. Our B&B gave us coupons for breakfast and we could use the coupon here or at The Clucking Hen. We wanted to check the places out so we stopped at the Dancing Moose and it was closed at the time. We peeked through the window and the cook (CHEF) saw us, unlocked the door, came out and said they were not open yet but "Do you need the ladies room? You are welcome to use it." Now, WHO is that nice these days? We didn't but we promised to come back so we did. We were the winners in that decision! 4. If you like, try this place. We had a great time and the food was wonderful! We went back and we will go back every time we go to Cabot Trail which will be frequent as we have visitors who come and want to see the Cabot Trail!

Amazing place. One of few that lives up to the expectations…read more Food was spectacular. Some of the best seafood I've had anywhere in the northeast. Quality is superb and the dish ideas and presentation are supreme. Desserts are claimed to be made in-house and very much taste like it. Service is okay. A bit slow and hectic, but the waitresses were cool to chat with and attentive in ways a lot of places aren't. Gorgeous scenery and location, tucked away from the rest of Baddeck.

We went to the location not on the waterfront tonight. They said there would be a 30 minutes wait…read more So, we had a drink at the bar. They seated us right beside our bar seat (30 minutes later at a table that was never occupied). No one approached us for over an hour. When we said we were leaving because no one spoke to us, the person who made us our drinks argued with me and said she did not know where we went. We went 3 feet from where she served us drinks. Others nearby were served. I asked a waitress who was nearby about a server and she said she would find out who had our table. A few minutes later we saw three servers arguing about who had to serve us. After 30 more minutes we left. I wish we hadn't stopped to pay. It was $43. No tip. No way. Also the sangria sucked. Stay away!!! And what they can do is care and be kind. Also I would give zero stars but I can't so I will give it one star because Nathan MacDonald was singing and he was amazing. Restaurant gets zero stars.

Watched one of the ladies finish a load of dishes while my drinks were being made right behind her. Quality is great. Above average coffees and a delicious breakfast sandwich. The shop could use with some reorganization and a few frills (currently, they feature notably overpriced paintings by someone whom I presume to be a local artist), but it's great as a grab-n-go coffee joint as long as you don't put emphasis on the 'go' part.

The staff was very friendly, and service was great. I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich, which comes with fries, and carrots and turnips on the side.

One side note is that this place takes cash only so make sure you have some cash on hand!
