Eli’s Espresso

Sorry, this is the worst cappuccino I have ever had… It is watery and metallic. My guests are not impressed with their hot chocolate or brownie. The washroom policy for customers only, while becoming the norm, is still a dick move… I’m sure this review won’t hurt their business because they are in a tourist town, but that is probably why things have gotten so bad…

Love this places healthy organic take on food. Homemade. My hubs loves the paninis. Great fair trade coffee too

Stopped in here for some coffee and pie with a side of ice cream while we were traveling through Nova Scotia. It was the best Strawberry & Rhubarb pie I have ever eaten. We actually stopped by the next day to have another before we left that area. Hope to be back up that way again next year to get another slice.

A friend and i stopped in while out on a South Shore photography run.
They serve Kicking Horse coffee, which is one of my favourite brands. I got a 3 shot Americano, my friend got a dark roast. Both were great.
The ratio of water/​coffee was solid, and they had a few different options for dairy. What i really appreciated is they kept everything in a mini fridge… nice and cold milk. awesome :)
The food looked amazing, I plan on coming back to try an omelette or sandwich for sure!

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.

This little Mom and Pop café 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 café is (Dame) Judy Dench approved. for real.
