We went here for the first time today and we will absolutely be back! The soup was the best Italian sausage soup I've ever had, the rolls were perfect and the shop itself is so gorgeous, bright and inviting. Our server was also so sweet and took great care of us and made fantastic recommendations. I want to come back tomorrow and the next day and the next!!

Every single thing I've eaten at this spot, or taken away to eat; has been delicious. When it's busy, you may need to wait for service / to be served, but it's certainly worth it in my opinion. An incredible fresh and healthy option if you're in the area or passing through, or forgot to pack a lunch. They provide catering as well, and their in-house baked goods are fantastic.

Wow! Just moved into the area and did not expect to find somewhere with such a focus on fresh not frozen and delicious food. We stopped in for the special and will definitely be back! Worth the drive if you're not in Middle Sackville. Ps. The cinnamon twists came out of the oven as we were leaving, to die for!

Had the chicken and ham panini-type (grilled) sandwich on a sourdough flax bread with an assortment of veges's and mayo. It was fantastic! The dessert was a delicious woven cinnamon bun (muffin styled) and was equally delicious. The cinnamon rolls on display looked fantastic as well as the other desserts. Lovely appointed cafe with tables inside and a few out. Will go back to try something else or maybe I'll have my fav's again. Salivatatiously good! UPDATE: We were back again and the food was Fantastic! They have a magic ability for producing unbelievably fine tasting food. A simple bowl of soup was so extraordinarily tasty! And the ham sandwich was anything but ordinary. The brownie for dessert was excellent as well. I hope to visit more often to experience they're exquisite cuisine! Bon Appetite!

Popped in for first time to grab a coffee to support local business. Enjoyed latte and couldn’t resist the cinnamon iced bun and the wife enjoyed a large piece of coconut cake. Both were lovely and better when we discovered hone made by the lovely host Suzanne. Warm, friendly and lovely cakes… we will be back and look forward to the homemade stews, soups and curry :-)
