The Periwinkle Café is a daydream come to life for it’s owners. It is a welcoming and light space where the local community and tourists can gather and enjoy everything from their morning cup of coffee and cinnamon roll to an afternoon glass of wine and charcuterie. Taste our fair-trade coffee, roasted here on the East Coast, as well as handmade teas, specialty lemonades, locally brewed beer and wines, and cocktail favorites. Our ever-changing menu of baked goods are made fresh each morning, with an assortment of lunch items and daily specials. Lounge in our gardens and browse the craft shop - stay for a bonfire! 

 

The Periwinkle Café strives to offer a delectable variety of seasonally inspired flavors that are sourced as nearby as possible. 90% of our produce is grown in Cape Breton and overall we are offering over 60% locally sourced ingredients - some from our own back yard! Learn more about a few of our local suppliers.
