Plenty of parking under the Novotel Hotel. Limited parking out front. Indoor and outdoor areas. Furniture outside in flimsy. Good coffee and small sides. Very friendly and efficient staff. Really enjoyed my morning coffee here. Nice way to start the day.

Mushroom on brioche no longer on menu. Good coffee, friendly and attentive staff. Home made tiramisu is the bomb

One of my top choices for coffee, and my go-to brunch is their steak sandwich. Make sure to check their display case as well, aside from the regular menu, they occasionally have cannoli or other pastries.

Great cafe located in a quiet corner of the main road (Bay Street). Food is great and coffee is also above average and Service is great. Covid guidelines are also followed and practiced to quite an extent. Definitely worth checking out for Brunch or just a quick Coffee if your near the area!

This local coffee shop had a complete refurb a few months back at it looks gorgeous. It’s my go to place for my soy latte a few mornings a week. Handy little express window on the Crawford Street. Also offers indoor and outdoor dining

Moving away from the beach on Bay Street is this light and bright cafe with a separate dedicated window on the side for outdoor/coffee/takeaway orders. I ordered a takeaway large double-shot cappuccino from the side window and it had a good strength of coffee hit flavour and overall was great. Service is also friendly to go with your morning cuppa.

Love this place! It’s been my regular cafe for years. The service is always lovely and the food has great variety and always accommodating for any small changes to what’s on the menu. The side window to grab takeaway is so convenient, especially as I have a dog.
