Just an unassuming building on 230 between Port Rexton and Trinity. It modestly calls itself a coffee shop, but it's more than that. In a way, it's a great restaurant in that it exceeds your expectations. Based on its plain construction and simple comfort food menu, you expect short order quality food. Everything they make is satisfying--and they bake all their delicious breads, bagels and pastries in-house. Soups and salads are always great. They're fresh and have sophisticated flavors. It's vegetarian and has gluten free options. They serve wine and beer. Their coffee is excellent and it may be the only local place that makes cappuccino during the day. The view out the window is of Trinity Bay. They post recipes on their website.

The closest experience I can think of after spending a really nice weekend in Trinity was maybe Mendocino, but without the tourist hordes. The Twine Loft Restaurant was very charming, with stellar down home service, and delicious food options that the kitchen was happy to tweak. We both enjoyed the rustic modern dining room, the romantic ambiance, and the view of the water through the window. Our only regret here was that the weekend we were here was cold and foggy, so there was no real sit on the deck at sunset (or sunrise) option. Dinner was extra special at a fixed price of $65 plus beverages. Gayle chose the Moroccan Lamb Shank with Yogurt Mint Sauce (served with Lemon Herb Israeli Pearl Couscous and Roasted Vegetables), while I went for the Atlantic Salmon with Mango & Pickled Onion Salsa (served with lemon roasted potatoes and roasted vegetables). We shared that an a nice bottle of Canadian wine.

We placed our order at the cashier (there is no table service) and we waited and waited and waited. After 15 minutes one of us went to the cashier and asked. We were told our sandwiches would be ready in 5 minutes. After waiting 30 minutes another one of us went to the cashier and asked. We were told that our order would be ready in 5 more minutes. After 45 minutes we asked again. We were rudely told that "I am only the person who takes orders. "I have no control of how food is prepared and delivered to the tables." We waited 1 hour 15 minutes. We were the only customers left in the restaurant. We asked again and was told the same thing: "I have no control of how food is prepared and delivered to the tables." She checked and was told it was still an open order even though there were no other orders. Finally between 80 minutes and 1.5 hours after we ordered, our three very simple sandwiches were brought to us. Non of the three orders required any cooking at all. They were only sandwiches. IF YOU WANT TO SPEND AN ENTIRE AFTERNOON SITTING WAITING FOR THREE SIMPLE SANDWICHES, THIS PLACE IS FINE FOR YOU.

Pleasant staff. Cost approximately $25 per person. However. Food was underwhelming. The tomato on my chicken pesto sandwich was a day old. The rolls served with the pea soup were dry.

Sadly the worst meal I had in Newfoundland…read more The location here is quite nice, along a harbour with a lack of cellular service (although wifi is available here). The menu options were quite vast, and there were some special options available off the menu as well. I had the "Treasure Chest" to start, which was cod bites, calamari, scallops, and shrimp served in a bed of fries. This was probably the best part of the meal, as the portions were big and the seafood was relatively fresh. I also had a French Onion soup, which was unfortunately awful. Shredded melted cheese was simply not it. I shared mussels with my parents, which were some of the smallest I've ever seen. It was quite plain, it said olive oil and garlic was supposed to be included, but I barely saw it. Finally there was a crab au gratin on special, which I decided to order with onion rings on the side. Similar to the mussels, the crab was small and there was barely any meat on it. Service was also quite rushed. My family felt like they were trying to chase us out even though it wasn't completely full. Can't say this was a good experience overall sadly.

Gayle and I visited Trinity during a recent cold and foggy weekend and enjoyed dinner here on a Friday evening. As I'm the "gift shop" guy in the family, I went upstairs the next day to take a look. As with almost anywhere in Trinity, walking here was relatively short and pleasant. Here are my thoughts: The Gallery/Gift Shop has some nice local crafts and really nice local art to put on the wall. However, through a combination of "our walls are already full" and "this or that doesn't speak to me", I left with only a Newfoundland coin for my efforts. My advice is that if you're here, you should definitely take a look. Now the Restaurant, which is one of the few in Town. - We sat inside by the windows with a nice view. Outdoor seating was available, but on an evening like this, there were no takers. - The Dining room was attractive, comfortable, and felt like I was in my home town. - Our wait staff were friendly, welcoming, and very interactive about where we were from, local perspectives, and what things we could do in the area. - Our meal was very good. Over 3 glasses of shared white wine, I had the Chowder and a Caesar Salad, while Gayle chose the North Atlantic Scallops. When in Newfoundland, Seafood is what's for dinner.
