Went for lunch today! A typical lunch blackboard but wow! Wow when you taste the delicious and nutritious puree soup and a tasty sandwich! My husband said the coffee was the same quality as the soup and sandwich! The seating is tight but the staff were efficient and personable! Will definitely go there again and have already recommended to others. More

This is a gem in the wilderness. It's in a beautiful area, but there isn't really anything else like it around here. I was treated by friends as I was visiting in the area and found the environment very friendly, the service was quick, and the food was good and fairly priced. A soup and half-sandwich (all menu items are... More

We loved the breakfast sandwiches, brownies and baked goods! This place is so nice. The staff were constantly running around trying to keep up with the crowd, and I think this made them a little impatient with customers - understandably. I think the locals LOVE it here - a great testament to the place - but it makes it hard... More

Nestled at the start of the Margaree Valley is an amazing Cafe and bakery that rivals the sophistication of the BIG City yet maintains the quaint country charm and unforgettable Cape Breton Hospitality! EVERYTHING is home made on site and if you don't get there early selections are limited... they sell out! That alone attests to the quality of the... More

This place is pretty much sandwiches and fancier sandwiches at that. The kids would not eat anything here but cookies and those were only fair. More

We stopped at a gift shop and two strangers in the parking lot asked if we had been to the Dancing Goats restaurant. They told us to try to incorporate it into our trip and that we would not be disappointed. We did find the restaurant later in the day. I actually passed it and had to stop on the... More

This place is a gem. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced relative to ther places in the area. They have a limited breakfast menu and lunch/dinner menu that consists of sandwiches and soups but everything we had was outstanding. They have really good coffee and a huge assortment of baked goods made right there including breads, rolls, cookies,... More

We stopped in to this restaurant with high expectations based on where it is rated here on trip advisor. Food was ok. Service was terrible.. Not worth the drive there. More
