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)

Cute little bakery on the Main Street in St.Johns Newfoundland…read more We initial spotted this place because of the sign that read over 300000 fish cakes sold, baked never fried. 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

Good prices with most sandwiches priced at $11.45. Very trendy and interesting variety of…read moresandwiches. There is something for everyone except for the pickiest of eaters. There are lots of tables. The sound level ideal as it was pleasant and yet we could have a conversation without feeling conspicuous. The sandwiches were delicious. I swapped half my roasted vegetable sandwich with my wife who had a turkey with avocado sandwich. They were both very good. One thing was that the bottom of mine was soggy but that happens. The turkey sandwich bun was not at all soggy. We enjoyed our drinks and sitting and watching the people go by. The staff were friendly and helpful. You wait for drinks at the counter but they bring food orders to your table. That's a great way to to it as it doesn't take nearly as long to make drinks as it does food. We were walking so I can't comment on parking. I'm sure they have WiFi but I didn't check. I highly recommend Coffee Matters because they've got what I like.

What an institution! If you want an experience, walk into Bagel Cafe. It's cozy with booths and…read morelots of colorful mosaics, lamps, and more.

There weren't many restaurants downtown open for breakfast that morning, so we walked further to…read moreBagel Cafe. The young hostess who seated us was the only pleasant employee we encountered. Unfortunately as soon as she sat us and went to get us coffee a server arrived to frustratedly inform us that there was an issue in the kitchen, and we needed to either order that second or leave. Completely understandable there can be issues, but it wasn't our fault we were seated so being curt wasn't necessary, she could've been kind and made her point too. I didn't even have an opportunity to open a menu, but luckily my husband found an egg plate lightening fast so I said I'd take the same. The only difference we'd requested was our eggs cooked two different ways, which was wrong when the food came...but of course no use bringing that to their attention under the circumstances and she wasn't interested anyway. From then on we saw only the hostess again (as she came to check on our coffees). Other than that, we heard the staff somewhere joking loudly or occasionally turning customers away at the door due to the kitchen issue, and a female server (?) start berating the hostess right across from our table. Even though our order wasn't right the food was decent and portions huge. The interior setup is unique, most tables incredibly private. Maybe if we'd come on a different morning we could've enjoyed a meal here, this just clearly wasn't the morning to stop in.

Thank you to manager Troy, who hails from the lovely state of Queensland, Australia, baristas know how to make a coffee (at least that's what I think!). At the bottom of signal hill, it's on the way from a hike, and not too far out of the way if you want to pick a coffee up on the way to work. Did I also mention they have a pretty darn fine carrot cake to go with the really good coffee? Really should go and check it out!

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.
