The food and service were exceptional. We had a variety of menu items ie wraps, breakfast and…read moresandwiches. Every was delicious and portions were generous. The coffee was great and I highly recommend their ice coffee, delicious. It's a small restaurant but very friendly, clean and bright with beautiful local art (for sale)on the walls. The prices are very competitive. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent food, especially their salad. Good expresso and also Macha Latte…read more Perfect service; less than 5 minutes. Highly recommended

It's a great breakfast and lunch spot. As casual and basic decor as you'll ever find--in keeping…read morewith the Trinity/Bonavista sensibility. 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.

Parking was tight but we squeezed in. I ordered the soup of the day and a fish cake. Both were…read morefresh and delicious. Both had a homemade taste and texture to them. 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. The cafe itself is quintessential Newfoundland simplicity. A must stop on the Irish Loop. Less than 20 minutes from St. John's...if you don't get lost. Most folks here come from town.

Wandered to this little cafe on recommendation of a friend, and we weren't disappointed! Beautiful…read moreview of the harbour, quiet location, quaint decor... but above all, proper coffees! 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!

This seems to be a popular neighborhood cafe, and it's on the way to Signal Hill. I got the salmon…read morecream cheese bagel. The bagel is a bit on the smaller side than what I am used to, but it still hit the spot. The interior is a bit eclectic, and there are some picnic benches you can sit at outside. You can also order inside or outside.

The Battery Cafe seems to be sort of a landmark in St John's. It's right at the corner where people…read morewho are driving to Signal Hill must pass by. 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.

Good food but we were made to wait 80-90 minutes!…read more Three of us went to Quintal Cafe for lunch. 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.
