"What an astonishing little pearl! I had delicious ham sandwich and a croissant. It was fresh and tasty. The coffee was amazing, outstanding cappuccino fresh and full of taste. The place itself look like a museum, very pleasant and enjoyable. Prices relatively cheap, but the atmosphere is far beyond expected."

"Stopped in here on a bicycle trip from Winnipeg. St Malo is not a big town, and it would be very easy to miss this place, so I'm glad we found it. The patio is south facing to let you soak in the morning sun, with a pergola for shade. Plenty of space for bike parking and guest seating. Inside you are met with all sorts of antique furniture and artwork, making for a warm and inviting room. The staff were incredibly pleasant and helpful. I had already had 2 coffees that morning, so I ordered a breakfast sandwich instead. My friend had the bagel and iced coffee. All items were excellent. I will be back again to try more items, but also to support such a wonderful small town business. The charm sticks with you."
