Irish Loop Coffee House - St John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

This was honestly one of the sweetest places without trying to be. It was effortlessly charming and really homey feeling. We were ravished after our boat tour and stopped in to our pleasant surprise. The food was really yummy, hit the spot with the simple, non fuss selection. Soups, sandwiches, ... other warm table options. And of course delicious desserts! Great feeling and would definitely recommend if you’re in the area. The view was breathtaking! Read more

The coffee was delicious, the view and atmosphere were fantastic, and the menu was extensive, homemade, and a great mix of bistro and traditional Newfoundland. We had Mac & cheese, which was absolutely delicious and piping hot, and for dessert, apple crisp a la mode and a toffee bar. It ... was all DELICIOUS. The place was busy, but the servers were friendly and great! A real gem that’s worth the 30 minute trip down the southern shore from the capital city. Read more

Really friendly service and the food is amazing! Good coffee too and a nice atmosphere 👌

Love!!! Its a great homely place on the irish loop. We were thinking of stopping for brunch and almost stopped at Tim Hortons instead of this place!! 😁😁 Its a small restaurant with limited sitting. Patio was not open when we visited in June but I hope they opened it now! ... The place was busy with lots of people coming with reservations. We did not have one so had to wait 10-15 mins (which was no issues). Food was fresh and made perfectly!!! These are the best fish cakes I have had and the cinnamon bread pudding was out of the world!! Read more

The "Fork." evening restaurant is just fantastic. Beautiful, relaxing setting in Witless Bay; a surprising setting for upscale dining. Fresh local flavours presented in delicious and unique ways. Service was of course delightful and attentive, and the cocktails were also great. My only real nitpick is that the odd addition of ... popcorn to the scallop seviche was a bit tacky and unnecessary, but otherwise all of the food was just delicious and quite skillfully prepared. Portion sizes were just right (not for people who like large portions), and the menu was pleasantly small, with some really creative dishes that I actually haven't seen many or any other places in NL. Seems the chefs are really trying to be creative with some very common local ingredients. Overall, this is absolutely a place I would recommend to anyone for a nice upscale dinner, in a downhome setting. Not cheap, but worth it. Read more
