Kimchi Grilled Cheese

Spicy! House fermented organic napa cabbage from Wysmykal farm on our classic Grilled Cheese.

menu favorites:

Our menu is made from scratch and we lean toward organics. We make everything in house
- from the bread to the ketchup, even the bacon.

Dee-lite

Groove is in the heart, the egg is in the bun. A little get up and go with PEI old cheddar, pickled onion, and garden goodness on our fresh baked bun.

Granola, Fruit and Yogurt

Granola made in house from an age-old hippie recipe, with greek-style yogurt and seasonal local fruit surprise.

Fish Cakes

Just like great-great grandma used to eat. Salt cod fishcake, molasses baked beans, homemade bread, fried egg and roast meat with traditional pickles.

Vee-Bee

Beyond the beyond. A superior burger made from a real vegetable croquette. All the flavour, hold the science, just a big sloppy delicious vegan burger.

Black Bean Chili Bowl

Hearty, meaty and totally vegetarian. Topped with old cheddar, sour cream, and other delights, served with garlic toast, and you can add an egg if you fancy.

Grilled Cheese

Comfort food perfected, the finest ingredients without a hint of pretension. Yummy.

Avocado Smash

Hipster fuel! Smashed avocado on toast with fried egg and candied seeds.
