    Sip Cafe checks all my boxes for a great coffee shop: an attractive, comfortable space to hang out,…read moreindependent, non-commercial vibe, friendly staff, baked goods made in house, and of course good coffee. I only had an Americano and a muffin so I can only judge by first impression. The coffee was decent and of course made from locally-roasted, fair-trade-certified beans. The chocolate espresso muffin was good but was kind of "cake"y; it lacked textural interest like chocolate chips or a pleasingly overbaked top. Good flavor though. As I sat with my coffee and planned my day I took in the surroundings. Clean and modern yet retaining a cozy, homey feel. Wood tones and brick dominate the decor. I perused the other food offerings and found a fairly limited selection of baked goods. Several muffin types were available but no croissants, cookies, scones etc. It was late in the morning though so they may have sold out of them. They have breakfast sandwiches made to order, lunch sandwiches, salads, and soups. All looked good. A whole counter dedicated to gelato! All empty though; maybe it's just served in summer? An astoundingly large selection of teas, the many canisters taking up most of the wall space behind the counter. Wish I liked tea! And - very unusual for a coffee shop - beer and cider (all local, craft brands) and wine! Probably coming back tomorrow for beans to take home and maybe sandwiches for a picnic lunch.

    Coffee is good, food is mediocre. Service depends on who is behind the counter. When Sip first…read moreopened the food was great I feel bad saying that it has lost something along the way but it's true .

    Typical tourist trap cafe. Deep-fried food that's severely overpriced with extra small portions…read more The fish burger looks like a tiny processed patty that's smaller than a child's palm with a bunch of mayo and coleslaw. No lettuce. No onions. No pickles. Nothing to it for $12. The fritters were actually decent but again, overpriced for $12 for the three little balls. Spicy mayo isn't really spicy. Everything comes out super fast and staff isn't really overly interested in being there; they seem rushed and annoyed to be working in a tourist town. Not great for large groups as the cafe is small and has limited seating. Lots of parking which is good because the area gets busy for whale watch tours. Opens at 11 am but the staff didn't open the door until about 1115. No hot drinks here, just bottled items in the cooler. We're glad we packed a bunch of food because of tiny portions and high prices.

Portions weren't huge and many items didn't come with a side. However, the salad of the day was quite refreshing. We didn't try the other restaurant (at the Lodge), so not sure if we'll this is the better of the spots for Brier Island (unless you pack a picnic). Seating indoors was limited. Recommendation: Give it a whirl if you don't feel like packing a lunch!

    You can't go to Digby and not get a feed of scallops, and what better place than an actual seafood…read moremarket? When my wife and I showed up on a Saturday afternoon, I was in luck because the scallops and fish combo was one of the daily specials, clocking in at just $21! My other half, not being a big seafood person, opted for a cheeseburger. Having arrived well after the main lunch crowd, we had our food in quick order and ate indoors, taking a break in their AC. My plate of brown, deep-fried goodness wasn't exactly a poster child for the Canada Food Guide, but it sure was good! The scallops had a light dusting of breading before hitting the fryer, and they were a perfect doneness - not too soft, and not at all rubbery. Being minimally adorned as they were, the sweetness of the scallops took its rightful spot at centre stage. The fish portion of the plate was comprised of three small filets of haddock, with a light breading on the exterior. I do prefer a crisp, airy beer batter, but the quality of the fish stole the show, as it flaked easily in solid chunks, but wasn't mushy or shredding to tiny bits. It was one of those times where the fish was so good that I only used the tartar sauce for my fries. Said fries were the standard, from-frozen fries that I think of as "diner fries", but they were good and crisp on the outside, with fluffy interiors, so they were about as good as they can be. On the upside, the fries acted as a delivery mechanism for one of the best tartar sauces I've ever had! Heavy on the minced pickle chunks, the tartar sauce had a sweetness to it that reminded me of mustard pickles (in the best possible way). When a place does a simple thing like this so well, it really make all the others that just do packets of Kraft look even worse. Although far from being the star of the show, my wife's cheeseburger was a solid, diner-style burger. Carla's was just what I was looking for while in Digby - down home style seafood that's well-executed without pretension.

    The service was good. The ambience was good. The restaurant was pretty full but had a few tables…read moreavailable. I tried the apricots chicken rapure- she said it was a French dish, basically mashed potatoes around a few chucks of chicken and then deep fried. I wasn't impressed. My husband got the wings. They were delicious. Some friends got the seafood platter. It also was delicious. The onion rings were delicious.
