“ We found this cafe through a mutual friend and I think we have been back every weekend since. The staff are all amazing, friendly, and super helpful. Absolutely love the morning buns. According to the line up and all the baked goods going out the door, I’d say all the food is good. If your in Chester be sure you stop by and enjoy. ”
“ I am delighted that I was able to find the Morning Glory Muffin, this I was introduced to in Halifax back in 2014, the original bakery owners retired to March 2021. Fred and family have produced this bakery products with the same love and care as the former bakery owners. I get their wonderful Morning Glory muffins, a great start to my day along with a great source of energy ! William ”
“ A great place to stop for breakfast on our way to the Nordic spa. The Jib sandwich is on a delicious cheese bun but the rosemary bagel we got (although super tasty) was rock hard. So many lovely jams available for purchase and sweet small town feel inside. Don’t bring your computer to work here, it’s a place to be social! ”
“ What a hidden gem...excellent breakfast located in downtown Chester, NS. Pastries look unbelievable left with a small box for later on today and an order of shrimp/chicken fried rice. The service was great one of places that feels like home when you walk in the door! ”
