6 Best Cafes near Tancook Island

“We decided to visit the island on a whim today with our kids and didn’t bring enough food, so we started feeling a bit anxious on the ferry. Luckily, as we walked up the hill, the little shop happened to be just opening—perfect timing!

We ordered burgers, fries, and homemade ice tea—and wow, everything was way better than we expected! It wasn’t just because we were hungry; you could really taste the care and heart that Patrick put into preparing the food.

We also got some ice cream, and Patrick even gave a small souvenir to each of our kids. It was such a kind gesture, and the whole experience turned into a beautiful family memory.

Honestly, we might come back to the island just for Patrick’s handmade tea or those amazing burgers. Highly recommend!“

“Whether you go for the wholesome breakfast bowl or the decadent Eggs Benedict, this brunch spot delivers on both flavor and quality. The hollandaise sauce alone is enough to make this place worth returning to, but the well-executed dishes and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-try for any brunch enthusiast.“

“We love this place, it is our favourite home away from home.“

“A warm atmosphere, with delightful offerings of food/drinks, gifts, and conversation. *also, a very flattering bathroom mirror 😁 Thank you very much!“

“We've found this hidden gem by accident and we loved it! The Portuguese custard tarts were amazing, and the service (great vibe from the girl behind the counter) and the atmosphere make this coffee house a must-visit spot in Chester.“

“I was just in Lunenberg for the day, I stopped by for a quick lunch and coffee. The service was great, quick and friendly. My sausage on a bun had fresh sauteed peppers and onions that were great not overcooked to mush... the decaf coffee was hot and fresh. The carrot cake was nice and moist with just enough icing on it.I definitely will go back on my next trip to Lunenberg!!!“
