I really liked the fish cake but one is never enough. It was mostly fish rather than the other stuff. I recommend both the soup and especially the fish cakes ($4.49 each in 2023). There is free WiFi so you can browse through your phone rather than talking to your guests if so desired. It's quite large inside so even if the parking lot is full there probably a table waiting for you. Washrooms were large and clean. The service was genuine and pleasant. We ordered dessert which we rarely do but the descriptions were enticing. I felt compelled to taste at least one of them. I really can't think of any negatives. Even the prices were quite reasonable. Well they were a bit high for the dessert but that's to discourage excessive eating. . If you are reading this you've probably already decided to eat here so enjoy.

Incredibly scenic setting. Just look at the pictures. It's an iconic fishing harbour with one restaurant. Not touristy at all. All unstained wood.

International friends, the coffee is rich, aromatic, but not overly bitter or acidic. Perfect mix to settle in either indoors or at one of a few tables outside, and enjoy a weekend afternoon. Only complaint is that it's only open weekends but a little bird has told me that this might be changing come May 2017. Fingers crossed!

We walked to both places so driving and parking was not a problem. Interestingly there were a lot of classic vehicles going by. You can order beer, cocktails, soup, sandwiches and even coffee. We sat outside at the deck. It was really nice to sit and watch the people, cars and motorcycles pass by. The sandwiches ar interesting and not oversized or over priced. There is secure WiFi although it seemed to have difficulty reaching the deck. If you walked to Signal Hill you should stop at the Battery Cafe because you'll walk right past it and you deserve it. The Newfoundland sundae with jam and ice cream is worth ordering on a warm day.

For two, plan on paying over 50 dollars for breakfast! If paying that much, you would think there would be at least someone refilling your coffee mugs, but even that you have to get up and request a refill! The Grounds breakfast costs 24 dollars, but over easy eggs were not, the muffin roll was over done on the bottom, and the bacon was under cooked and off tasting! The quiche had a nice crust, but lacked flavor, basically no flavor! Their pastry looked fresh and delicious! It and their coffee were the highlight of the meal! I had the lemon bar and the dark coffee! The atmosphere was okay, nothing special! I can't recommend it to others! (Red flag: paid for meal with requested tip prompt before receiving it)

I waited while they made a fresh urn, and they must have done something wrong because the 'coffee' that we were served was coffee-scented hot water. I've never dumped a coffee before this one. Oh, and don't bother with the bathrooms - there is no light switch and so the bathrooms are completely dark once you shut the door. The baking did look yummy. The place was otherwise cute. But DO NOT go here for coffee.

Several nights a week this operates as a restaurant called Fork with a different menu. Smells like bacon at lunch. Clean, bright, spotless and incredible view.

Everything seems to be scratch made including the desserts. Naturally given the aroma there was a lot of bacon ordered at our table. Tasty BLT on fresh bread. Tangy lemon coconut square.

My husband and I love fish cakes so we had to give them a try. They were cod fish cakes, baked just like the window said. They do sell out fast so call to check if it's available or come earlier in the day. They were really good, a little more on the potato side if that's what you're into, but still delicious. Plus the home made tartar sauce was so good, tasted like they made the mayo fresh. Their baked goods also looked divine. Must try in st.Johns

After a long day of driving around the south end of the Avalon peninsula, needed to stop for sustenance on our return to St. John's. Cocktails were fresh and fabulous with local flair. We opted for a tapas style dinner from the appetizer menu. Oysters were fresh and delicate, with specially prepared dressings, salted cod fritters were light, creamy and melt in your mouth. The peach and tomato, prosciutto, buttermilk, with chimichurri salad was a fresh and original option. The scallops were served in a creamy but light corn chowder like sauce, and were perfectly cooked. Save room for dessert, especially if the brown sugar cake with brûléd banana and caramelized hazelnut is on the menu. So much flavour ! High end quality in a bright , relaxed setting with a beautiful view.
