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.

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. Add a light shake of sea salt, and you have found my ideal breakfast treat. My husband had the apple cinnamon crumble muffin. We made an audible "mmmm" on his first bite. 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. And if we were made of money I would have bought one of the beautiful hand-dyed silk scarves on sale one the first floor. Thank goodness we are here in Mahone Bay for a while... we shall return!

The lady who runs/owns the place, is very friendly, and seems to know where, and what everything is. It's amazing, if i am looking for a specific book, she will know if she has it, had it, and if not, she will take you info and try to find it/them for you! Just amazing customer service. I almost always walk out with a few books, but more importantly I always walk in with some to give back. If you haven't been, check it out, support the little folks, and enjoy the coffee shop as well!

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.

We were somewhat time constrained, so just went for the salted caramel, served in a home made cone and a generous scoop to boot. Quite superb! With more time it would be fun to come up with your own combination and see what happens. Nice little garden out front with a couple of picnic tables. A must visit on any summer trip to the delightful town of Wolfville.

This was a great change from the usual fried stuff you get in most restaurants. They also have an ice cream shop with tasty local ice cream, plus a large selection of locally made jams, great as gifts. Well worth stopping by!
