    We love the coffee here. Lots of flavour with a sweeter finish. The baked goods, especially the pop tarts are 'to die for'. Yum. The menu has some great choices and we've had two good overall healthy breakfasts here....and some less healthy but delicious baked goods as well. Service is overall good, but not quite amazing. If there were half stars, they'd get an overall 4.5 rating from me, due to service. Decor is ship like, and nicely executed. Rotating art exhibits make the space even more interesting. A large outdoor patio is a great space to people watch.

    Hubby and I enjoyed stopping here to try their americano and some pastries. The homemade Poptart was delicious and looked super Instagram worthy. The coffee was strong, hot, and delicious. We were able to grab a seat outside because the weather was perfect and enjoyed the ambiance as we sipped our drinks. My only complaint is that their complimentary wifi was not very good. We asked a few times getting connected and still couldn't manage to connect.

    Great coffee and food. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend checking out this place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and the atmosphere is very casual and pleasant.

    Super friendly service. Great patio. Yummy basic breakfast plate and a breakfast sandwich.

    Breakfast pop-tart & hot chocolate - yum!

    On a rainy summer day we found Receiver Coffee, while visiting PEI from the United States. Both the food, coffee drinks and kid's hot chocolates were delicious and high quality. We order a drip coffee, americano, hot chocolate, samosa, croissant, pop tart, and breakfast sandwich. We also took home a gluten-free brownie for my mom. I highly recommend visiting this coffee shop.

    TLDR: Personally probably would not visit again (we just wanted to get a quick bite to eat, but were mislead by the rave reviews) The argument - Atmosphere: Loud, a bit too warm (too loud for my mornings) with limited seating - Taste (Coffee and chocolate croissant): Average (chocolate croissant had very little stuffing and not enough taste), coffee a bit stiff and not as aromatic and melodic as the grinder - Service: Slow, but on par (seemed short staffed) - Cost: $$ ($9 for a cup of coffee & croissant) tips and taxes extra - notoriously LOUD machinery and limited seating, optional to sit OUTSIDE weather permitting. Expect a 10 mins wait for coffee and a croissant or a 15 minute wait for brunch.

    Delicious coffee! I had a very dirty chai. The outdoor seating is lovely. This place is centered in a touristy area. It's a walkable commercial type area where the cruise line docks. The bulletin board has some very interesting community posts that highlight local buisness, local events like auctions and jigs. Highly recommend.

    Cuppa' love!

    Wow-what a way to start your day! Coffee with looks to kill, and a beautiful blend of tasty bean! If you love coffee, and have a high expectation for great coffee, this is where you want to go. Great breakfast options too.

    Great atmosphere, there are plenty of seats and services is great and prompt. They have easy listening coffee house music. I came in for breakfast as I saw the Huevos Rancheros in another post. It wasn't that bad. Crispy tostadas under the eggs, served with pickled jalapeños and pickled onions. You can have it as a burrito but that would just be a waste. Finished my breakfast with a tasty cinnamon bun. I enjoyed my meal with their Brazilian roast drip coffee

    Loved the breakfast options and topped off with a perfect flat white. Highly recommend unless you prefer to have your coffee in buckets from Starbucks.

    Vegan version of the Fry Up

    Food and beverages are accommodating to dietary restrictions. It has very tasty vegan options, and is well priced for good quality breakfast and lunch options. I had the vegan version of the fry up and every part was a hit. The atmosphere is very cozy, with a nice patio outside.

    We came back on another trip to Charlottetown. The place always has a lineup out the door. Hubby got the receiver breakfast and asked for scrambled eggs but got omelette style...not a big deal. The potatoes had zero seasoning or flavour but the home made ketchup was interesting. I asked for the Thai quinoa bowl with tofu scramble. They forgot the tofu but brought it on the side a few minutes later. The quinoa bowl was tasty with a hint of spice and the tofu was curry flavoured and delicious. Great location just outside the confed centre. Offers soup, sandwiches, breakfast items, coffees, desserts, etc. Pricing is moderate....not cheap but slightly less expensive for some items than other places (powerball was $2 and was a decent size and was vegan). Lots of vegan options...I had the smoothie bowl. Hubby had a sandwich and coffee. There are tables and chairs inside on 2 levels and an outdoor patio where you can watch live singers performing at various times. They use actual dishes and paper straws.

    Found this place thanks to fellow yelpers. Wanted to have a good cup of coffee and a nice little breakfast. I found both definitely on point at this place. It's nice rustic and youthful ambiance matched with very friendly and helpful staff, makes this place a highlight for your morning start. I'll be back for sure!

    Coffee is the real deal. Breakfast is fine, but we'd happily get breakfast to go elsewhere and come back here for coffee

    I greatly enjoyed the coffee here. I also had a gorgeous breakfast sandwich. Make it a point to stop in and enjoy all they have to offer.

    Super cool bar with coffee and local beer options! Glad we stopped here for coffee and breakfast…read moresandwiches as our last stop before leaving the island. Friendly staff, great ambiance, exposed bricks and ambiance with an industrial, eclectic feel, and delicious lattes and breakfast sandwiches. I wish we were here long enough to come for adult beverages, but I would return when we do come back.

    Bar 1911 is a really cool coffee & beer bar that is perfect for serving up some delicious craft…read morecoffee (serving beans from around the world including pilot coffee roasters from Toronto), local brews, and a perfect vibes for studying. Not to mention a great little menu that is affordable, yummy, and accommodating to many dietary needs like vegan or GF. 1911 is in the basement of an old jail and has an artsy eclectic vibe, low key mood, and kind of fun speakeasy energy to it. The service is very friendly (albeit can be a tad slow in busy hours) but always with a smile. Great hours open M-Th 8am -9pm, F 8am -10pm, Sat 9am-10pm, Sun 9am-8pm so they really do it all from cozy breakfast vibes, to grabbing an afternoon study and coffee session, down to happy hour and dinner or a late night date. The coffee is delicious and on par price with most coffee shops ranging from $2.25 for a small drip to $4+ for latte or handcrafted drink like macchiato or cappuccino. They serve local PEI teas from Lady Baker Teas and the rotating local craft beer always has a selection for everyone from sours and stouts to IPA and light ales. The food menu is not big but it is creative and will definitely have something to entertain your tastebuds. While serving sizes are not big, the price is on point for what you are ordering, anything from appetizers and finger food like hummus bowls, nachos, and dumplings to sandwich's and wraps or Mac & cheese and burrito style bowls twisted with vegetarian and/or GF fusion like cashew coconut cream cheese or sweet and spicy Dijon spread. The turkey sandwich was pretty good, thick bread and hefty serving of turkey and toppings so a good study lunch while the Coconut cream Mac & cheese my friend ordered came in a little cast iron with a golden crispy cheese covered top on gluten free penne with a side of tortillas, smelled heavenly! 1911 is a really fun and productive vibe and Ill def be back for more study sessions (Wifi is posted right up on the wall on a huge board) or maybe ill hit a happy hour with friends next time to try some local stout as the weather gets colder.
