This little Mom and Pop cafe and coffee shop is a hub within the beautiful town of Mahone Bay.
Not much to dislike in this place; Eli and Trixie will treat you like an old friend who has popped in unannounced, but very much welcome.
Mark and I headed down here last Sunday with our tummy's rumbling in hopes of the feast we had here last July. He was just as impressed with the cheese and ham omelette as he had been with a similar variant almost a year ago. I decided to try something brand new even though I LOVE the waffles at Eli's (and Trixie's). The Panini with cucumber, cheese, tomato and their own sauce left a little to be desired although Mark gobbled down my leftovers with relish (enjoyment, he didn't add relish) so i'm likely just a picky brunch goer.
A very quaint little stop off all in all! Icecream flavours are advertised on a hand made sign as: 1 scoop: $1, 2 scoop: $1.75, 3 scoop: $2.50 and 4 scoop: $3.25. Is it just me or is 4 scoops a tad excessive?? Needless to say, you can get your fix at Eli's.
ps: This cafe is (Dame) Judy Dench approved. for real. -

I've had a decent latte or two here and one not very good biscotti. The menu is intriguing, but the prices seem a touch high. I haven't sampled much, though, so maybe they're worth it.
I like the space itself - the back room is a favourite, with its woodstove in the winter. A covered patio out front allows tourist-watching on Main st.
Today, I was happy to discover that they sell free-range eggs for the dirt cheap price of $3/dozen.
