Good service. Coffee prepared just the way we wanted it. And excellent pastry. Graham the barista and perhaps the owner was working like a madman preparing orders. I'd be delighted to have a shop like Main & Mersey down the street from my house. There was plenty of space. I hope they are jammed for dinner. We sat at the community table and we got the history of Liverpool and an analysis of local economic conditions from a lovely woman who was at the table with us. The Liverpool Tourist Authority might want to hire her. Or maybe she WAS working for the Tourism Authority and we didn't realize it.

Best coffee on the whole South Shore! Hardly any signage, a local gem. Accessible! (go up the side…read moreof the building and there's a ramp!) I've tried them all, in Lunenburg, including the new Barn. Hands down Number Nine is the most awesome espresso and coffee in the coolest space. Lovely barristas. Place is is owned by a singer, and artists (and locals like boatmakers!) are regulars. Music always great but not obtrusive, peaceful vibe. Charming as heck. Highly recommend this third-wave coffee joint. Don't miss it if you come to Lunenburg! In a historic old grey house. Sometimes a line-up, but it's worth it, so chat with others while you wait and relax. (Also a gorgeous, accessible ramp back garden area - you can bring your dog!) 135 Montague, on the main drag next to a small record store.

Treats - to die for, you MUST try the cheese scones, they are even better than Mum's (sorry Mum). Second on my list Nanaimo bars. VERY rich - I suggest sharing one between two... Honeybeans, I'm addicted to you. Note: Closed on Tuesdays, but if you're desperate for coffee on a Tuesday, Sweet Harvest is just across the road and up a bit.

I had the banana nut muffin and is was truly the best banana nut muffin I've ever had! It had a mix of nuts, seeds, a smattering of mini chocolate chips and a drizzle of icing.

Our Americano and latte were exactly as we hoped. If you have time to linger, go upstairs and sit on one large leather couches. We met some native Nova Scotians and never felt rushed.

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.

I dropped in here a week ago and ordered the Mediterranean panini sandwich without onion. It seemed…read moreto be an easy order. When it came, the side was listed on the menu as vegetables. I got three slim Julien slices of carrot. Nothing to really complain about, also nothing to write home about either. Getting to the sandwich, I had one bite and immediately spit it into a napkin. I opened it and it was filled with green peppers. The waitress came by and I asked why the green peppers, the menu states "sweet bell peppers". I asked for red or green peppers and she took it away to fix the sandwich. They didn't give me a new sandwich, they picked off the green peppers and replaced them with red peppers. It was not great as it was no longer hot, but edible. I had some difficulty eating as I couldn't get the image of someone's fingers picking out the green peppers. Here is the kicker, while I was waiting for the disassembly and reassembly of my sandwich the manager came by with a menu. She pointed out the sandwich comes with bell peppers and green peppers are bell peppers. Although that is on it's face true. The menu states "sweet bell peppers ". This clearly refers to ripe bell peppers as red, orange and yellow that are ripe and sweet. Contrasting this is the green bell peppers as that is bitter or sharp it it's flavour and liked by those that prefer this bitterness. The manager was simply demonstrating she didn't know or care enough to know the difference between the menu and the substitution of green peppers. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
