Absolutely love the fact that you can get quality baking and then head down the stairs to check out the artist co-op and bookstore without going outside.

My husband and I stopped in this bakery after lunch because, well, it's a bakery! Lol. Staff were…read moresuper nice and greeted us right away. I was just looking around when they introduced me to their Chai Cookies. I love Chai, so I had to get one. They were $2.30 each (taxes in) and quite large. They also introduced me to their soft baked pretzels, which looked really good and were also quite large ($3 each), but I decided to pass, maybe next time. I was looking at their chocolate chip cookies and I found it really cute that the girl said "I promise you that no one took a bite out of these, they are just broken like that." They did in fact look like someone took small nibbles around the edges, haha. I have a soft spot in my heart for bakeries that go ahead and sell imperfectly shaped or less aesthetically pleasing goods. This is probably because my own baking is not much to look at, but it is delicious - my own opinion, but also the opinion of others who have tasted my baking, lol. Anyway, they are relatively new, as they weren't there when we were last in Liverpool a few years ago. They sell sauces, pastas, water bottles, and other items in addition to baked goods. They also have sandwiches.

I just love their sourdough bread. It's the best! I buy it often and eat it every morning with…read moreeggs, delish! The French Baguettes are amazing too. The problem with the baguette is that it just doesn't last. It's gone the very first night. We love it. LOL!

Accommodating and extremely friendly folks with excellent hand pies!…read more We are traveling on three east coast on NS, where each and every town has its signature flavor and feel, whee Mahone Bay is no different. It was mid-day, where a snack was needed to get us to dinner time, and Yelp to the rescue again. A quick search turned up Famous Town Pie Shop, and what an excellent choice this was in more ways than one. It turns out Yelp's hours of operation for this place are wrong, so we showed up just as they were closing. Being the chubby Merkans that we are, I tried the door handle and they were still open (thankfully). We were greeted with favor though as the nice staff welcomed us to try the last pies of the day. I asked for them to surprise me with whatever was available and settled on two savory pies. Uh-mazing! It had been a while since I'd last had a really good savory pie, and good ones are most certainly not available in the Southeastern U.S. of A, so this experience was amplified a bit. The crust was spot-on, the fillings were flavorful, and the portion size definitely is large enough for most North Americans. Once we scarfed down the pies outside, the owner came outside and gave us some outstanding recommendations on NS and excellent conversation. I would visit this place in a heartbeat again if we are ever in the area. This is one of those little gems that we love stumbling upon in our travels.

So a gal pal took me here for lunch for my birthday... And the pictures do speak for themselves…read more.. At first we thought its a bit pricey for a sandwich but it was a special treat after all Very busy location but you can eat outside which was lovely And it was great to be in the company of a very beautiful person who treated me for lunch Highly recommend the BLT or the ham and swiss sandwich ..yes you can tell the difference of a quality sandwich... And we had Black Bean Brownie and a date square just to finish off... With nice sourdough bread... It was filling to the point I only had a snack for supper time Will definitely be back... really delicious ..great stuff plenty of options...very hippie groovy type vibe inside Lots of options to eat outside or walk down to the park and eat there by the water I highly recommend if you're looking for a healthy delicious sandwich choice Can't pick a favourite dessert.. but will say they Ham.n Swiss was probably my favourite sammie Easy location to get to once you come over the bridge and lots of parking I tell you.. you will feel healthy eating here even the desserts lol

Signs announced internet and phone were down-cash only. We've been traveling on debit/credit cards, and asked if they would accept USD. Yes, but only at face value; unwilling to do the conversion (25% markup). Ok, sure. Ordering dinner our server offered a swap of fries for a side salad, explaining there was a mark-up only after I ordered (another 5% markup). Dinner arrived, with only 1 pre-packaged tartar sauce. When I asked for 1-2 more I was informed the charge is $.25/each. Message received The food was pretty good, but this place is NOT for tourists. The owner/staff doesn't want you here-or at least doesn't want US tourists. Staff quashed our every attempt at friendly interaction. They obviously don't understand that the MAGA idiots don't travel, especially out of the country. I get folks dislike the policies of US leadership, but believe me we're not fans either. Being tarred with the anti US brush was a disconcerting and unhappy experience. Let the locals enjoy their meal without tourists while you try something more welcoming

Sadly I quickly learned the only family valued was their own and when a community member needed support, they turn selfish and insensitive. As for the overpriced comments I see, I won't comment.

At the top of the hill at the intersection of Mount Hanley and Brown Roads, you find the old…read moreupholstery shop next to the historical Mt. Hanley School. A welcome addition to the area, the owners have opened up a small bake shop where they make and sell small batch sourdough breads, treats and pizza dough. In addition, you can purchase hand made and dyed linens that the owner makes. They've got sheep and produce their own fibres so it's a really great spot that's clearly going to grow. You may have seen them at the Clarence market as their shop hours are currently incredibly limited. When I say they sell out fast, I'm talking 15 mins fast! Hours are 11-5 twice a week but you're often out of luck if you arrive by noon so get there BEFORE opening if you want some amazing wood-fired bread!

Homemade icecream and fudge on a hot day? Not gonna pass up on that!…read more We were walking the streets of Lunenburg, and decided it would be 10x better with icecream in hand so stopped by Sweet Treasures. I got a double scoop cup of orange chocolate and peanut butter eureka, while my wife got a single scoop waffle cone with pistachio. The flavours are distinct, and the icecream is good though a bit on the icey side (there were times it felt almost like a popsicle). Prices are reasonable, people are friendly. While not the ultimate reward at the end of a treasure map, Sweet Treasures is a worthy stop along the way.
