Edible Art Café

Even though I’d seen the previous Unilocal reviews I was still pleasantly surprised by this café. It was large and bright and airy, with — unsurprisingly from the name — lovely local art all over the walls. The menu wasn’t big but had very tasty-​sounding lunch dishes, and for extremely reasonable prices. Two musicians were providing the weekend afternoon ambiance.
Service was efficient and friendly. The meals were as good as they sounded (my curry chicken wrap was yum). And they happily did a small simple plate of meat, bread, and cheese for our small son.
A really great lunch stop.

What a gem! This is absolutely worth swinging by if you’re on your way to u-​pick blueberries or other activities in the area. Open 9 – 5 most days with live music at lunch time Monday-​Saturday from 12 – 2 pm, they have a short menu of excellent sandwich and soup options for a light lunch. French baked goods were coming and going as we sat and looked round at the bright fun artwork and open attractive space. We tried the curry chicken wrap, excellent, the all-​day breakfast sandwich with cheddar and bacon, disappeared quickly, and the soup of the day, chicken gumbo served with two slices of multigrain baguette. They have a range of coffee drinks and my americano was excellent. Everything was so good that after we finished picking berries I came back to snap up 5 frozen dinner/​soup options for $ 20, including 2 freshly made macaroni and cheese sides. Made with onion and real cheese and pepper, they were delicious. I also grabbed one of their large homemade seed, nut, oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies, another winner. This is an unexpected treasure in a rural corner of the province!

Fabulous hidden gem. Had the lunch salad with soup of the day, Maple Squash, exceptional taste. Salad was fresh with berries and pumpkin seeds. Service is friendly and very fast. On top of that they have a freezer so you can take your favorites home. Love this place. Oh yes and there is live music to boot. Free wifi too.

I came here with my husband and mother-​in-​law for a late lunch on a rainy fall day and had a fabulous meal. It turns out that the café is in my MIL’s old school, in the old music room! So, of course it makes sense that they have a lot of live music there.
We didn’t catch a show, but we enjoyed a lovely, warming lunch that artfully showcased fall ingredients. We each enjoyed generous portions of soup with a sandwich or salad. My mushroom melt featured luscious Havarti and flavorful sautéed mushrooms on a toasted ciabatta roll, and I savored every bite. My curried coconut soup could have had the spice kicked up a notch, but I’m a notorious spice hound and am always looking for the bottle of hot sauce on the table. So it’s probably just me.
It was a small space and I could tell that the the food was homemade and had a lot of love in it. Nowhere was this more evident than in the beautiful selection of baked goods. After lunch, I wandered over to the counter to appreciate the gorgeous array of scones and treats, and I couldn’t help but pick up a pumpkin scone, a blueberry scone, and a chocolate-​coconut macaroon to enjoy on the road. As I suspected, each treat was well worth the extra investment. They were delicate and just plain beautiful, with a tender crumb (indicating excellent ingredients) and a well-​balanced flavor profile (indicating a thoughtful and highly skilled baker). The lunch was good, but the combination of the lunch with the baked goods launch this new restaurant into five-​star status. I will come back next time I visit.

At first glance I wondered why the restaurant is set in so far off the road. Then I read somewhere that this is the location of the former high school. So that made sense to me.
This is a big yet cozy restaurant, smartly decorated with colourful art, beautiful wood dining tables and well stocked bookcases. I came for lunch and ordered the Havarti Mushroom Melt which others had recommended. It consisted of red pepper spread, havarti cheese, spinach, feta, sun dried tomatoes, and sauteed mushrooms served hot on a grilled ciabatta bun. It was simply delicious, I was thrilled about how good it tasted!
The man who served me was friendly and very pleasant. The restaurant has a facebook page if you want to check out the menu or savour the yummy pictures of the food.
I liked the bathroom too, which has two accent walls with art on them! Great restaurant, great food, great place to go!

Food is unique and delicious. A little pricey for a lunch, but great atmosphere and service.
