I was recommended to stop in and try their Montreal Smoked Sandwich. The steam as you can see was still coming off the plate when it was served. Very flavourful and the soft bread made this very enjoyable. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, making for a comfortable atmosphere. Seeing a collection of board games available also brought a smile to my face. I will be looking forward to coming back and trying their treats.

Great place, delicious food, very friendly staff! Everything is super fresh. If you have a dog, there are a couple of tables outside with a great view of the Victoria street

Wonderful local, non chain restaurant serving fresh homemade food. Prices are reasonable. Atmosphere is cozy and a bit quirky, but totally enjoyable. Hint, if the weather is nice, there are a number of picnic tables around the corner.

Fantastic! Chickpea Buffalo wrap, and the oak cake. They have lots of vegan and gluten-free options and they are very up on dietary restrictions. They are lgbtq and trans-friendly. The service was amazing, the environment was very cozy and they have some communal seating areas where we met a very nice man. Highly recommend this spot. Their food is amazing. All around fantastic experience

The food is fresh & tasty and very enjoyable. Had quiche and the house salad, both were SO good. The peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are TO DIE FOR, perhaps the best I have ever had. (I regret not buying more, lol.) The owner was lovely and kind, she even made fresh Nova Scotia oat cakes that I had been looking for to try. (These were very good too as expected - thank you again!!) But if you want her goodies best be ordering ahead, then you wont be disappointed :). It's worth the drive no matter where you're travelling to or from, its close to both Moncton and PEI. If I could give 10 stars I would, highly recommended!

We happened upon The Art of Eating cafe. What a find! I had haddock fish cakes with melt in your mouth brown beans, salad and home made brown bread. My spouse had Montreal smoked meat sandwich and salad. We returned later to do some work upstairs and had coffee and dessert. Staff are very friendly. We certainly will go back, and totally recommend.
