I was happy to see that a place serving hot food opened within walking distance of my place, and…read moreone day I popped down to pickup lunch for my wife and I. They post their soup schedule on their Facebook every week, and we lucked out because my wife has a nostalgic soft-spot for their soup of the day that day, corn chowder. Soups come with a biscuit or roll, and I doubled down on biscuits. The corn chowder was still piping hot after taking everything home and getting set up to eat. The soup was was creamy and smooth, with pops of sweetness and texture from the corn. The biscuits were buttery and lightly flaky, and while the exterior was a bit more firm and roll-like than a typical biscuit, it didn't detract from it. I had also picked up a loaf of whole wheat bread, which was light, airy and moist - great for sandwiches or on its own! On a return visit, it was another batch of soups - the daily special of clam chowder and the alway available, tomato cheddar. The clam chowder was thick and chock full of bits of clam and perfectly bite-size chunks of potato. I went for the roll this time, and it was light, smooth and great for dipping. My wife's tomato cheddar was a great, simple soup. The namesake flavours were front and centre and it had a silky mouthfeel from the added fat of the cheese, but the sauce didn't break and have actual pools of grease. For dessert, I bought a couple of their iced cinnamon rolls. They were light and airy - definitely head and shoulders above the grocery store ones - and a quick run through the microwave softened that butter/cinnamon/sugar mix wonderfully, without completely liquifying the icing. A Slice of Home is a fantastic addition to both the neighbourhood and the town as a whole, bringing thoughtfully made goods at affordable prices.

River Run Cafe has a cute, open space on New Glasgow's main drag, with lots of light in its corner…read moresuite. When my wife and I first came by, we re-energized with coffees and something sweet. They've got a solid drip coffee, and at just $2.50 for a large, you can't go wrong. A large chocolate chip cookie was fresh and pleasantly chewy. On a return visit, my wife and I got in just before a steady stream of other lunch customers. I went with the breakfast BLT ($6.50) and a large drip coffee, while my other half opted for the soup and biscuit combo ($6.50). Our food came out very quickly and my BLT was a great example of this classic sandwich: the salt and savouriness of the crisp bacon, bright acidity of the tomato, plus the added richness of a fried egg. My wife was a big fan of her potato and bacon soup - piping hot, smooth and hearty. A big ol' cheddar biscuit was buttery and flaky and just about everything you'd want in a biscuit! River Run is a much-needed independent cafe in downtown New Glasgow that's serving up great cafe bites and coffee while contributing to the community.

I remember The Coffee Bean of back in my years as a precocious youth in the 90s as being a very old…read moreschool, no frills café. Certainly not the quaint - dare I saw cool? - little cafe that is now. With branded merchandise, an espresso machine, and plants literally livening up the place, it seems that old dogs *can* learn new tricks! Or at least get new owners. Looking for a lunch that isn't fast food or a slice of pizza isn't an easy thing on a Monday in Pictou County, but I was glad when The Coffee Bean came to mind. Driving down just before noon to beat the lunch rush, I arrived to the remnants of the late morning coffee crew that were already situated, and no line in front of me. Perfect timing! I opted for the intriguing Mexican grilled cheese and an iced Americano to beat the heat. After a few minutes wait, I had my food and coffee in hand and hit the road home. My grilled cheese had a nice golden brown finish, and coming wrapped in paper kept it from steaming and getting too too soggy on the drive home. It was filled with a melty mix of cheeses, as well as a generous portion of diced onion, bell pepper and tomato, along with just the slightest hint of heat. The fresh veg added a pleasant brightness and crispness. The ice in the Americano barely lasted in the summer heat by the time I got home, but I appreciated that it wasn't 80% ice and 20% coffee like some. It's great to see new life breathed into The Coffee Bean, and I hope it continues to serve New Glaswegians (yes, that's our demonym), for yet another generation.

A butter tart square (that looked mass produced, like you can buy lots of places across the country) for my husband. A chocolate peanut butter swirl for me - which turned out to be a homemade chocolate peanut butter snack cake with icing. I was pretty happy with my choice. :)

We sat outside, enjoying the summer air and watching the downtown hum along. The food here leans simple but thoughtful. The Island Hot Cake was fluffy and satisfying, and the Fry Up breakfast (with bacon) hit all the right notes--especially the potatoes. Maybe it's just PEI magic, but even as a side, they stand out. Our lattes and matcha latte were smooth and well-crafted, and the pacing felt unhurried in the best way. Service was friendly without being overbearing, and it's the kind of place where you can linger with your coffee without feeling rushed. If you're in Charlottetown and want a reliably good breakfast with a quality cup of coffee, Receiver is worth the stop--especially if you can grab a patio seat.
