I’m not a suffer of Celiac Disease.
I chose the gluten free brownie to see how it measured up to its counterpart. Better!
This place has wonderful espresso coffee, brownies, soup and more.
They also offer drip, cold brew, aeropress, pour over, French and press. They know how to make coffee. A must visit when passing through North America!
Friendly, cosy, family run. Close to the Port and a short walk along colourful streets from the exceptional museum, The Rooms - a must see.

This cafe is on your way to Signal Hill. Stop in and grab a coffee and a baked good. In nice weather, there are some picnic tables outside to sit and enjoy this busy corner.

There were no available seats but that didn’t stop us from following the scent of aromatic coffee to the front counter, where our charming barista assured us it wouldn’t be long. We needed the time to consider the array of sweet and savoury snacks. I chose the baristas’ go to cookie called What Odds. It had everything you want and more. My daughter loved the velvet cake. And the coffee was strong and delicious. We took the bar stools by the window and stayed warm and cozy near the radiator. We will go back till we’ve tried all the treats.

Cut off from downtown, you will find the battery cafe at 1 duckworth St. John's. Offers gluten free and vegan options and has live music at weekends and on Wednesdays!
Offers a good choice of coffees and teas, soups, breakfast plus treats such as banana bread, scones muffins, sandwiches, cakes etc. All freshly made, just perfect!
