The Biscuit Eater Cafe and Books

We went to this lovely location for brunch to celebrate a birthday and to say we were impressed would be an understatement! This spot has the holy trinity of food establishment benchmarks. Quality food, amazing atmosphere and the best customer service you could find anywhere. We had tea and coffee and some of their brunch items as well as a sweet tea service. We were treated with such great service we were almost surprised by it and the location is furnished in such a manner to make you feel right at home while being inspired by the many books and history of the locale. The food was so artfully crafted you can be in awe of the beauty of it and the deliciousness all at once. We cannot wait to visit again. This spot is definitely deserving of its 2021 taste of Nova Scotia restaurant of the year award. It’s a must visit for anyone in the Mahone Bay Area.

I was in beautiful Mahone Bay this past May 2019. I began frequenting this casual but super comfortable cafe, and every time was greeted by friendly staff! Ordering was easy upon entry, and whether it was a meal or a cuppa tea and sweets, I was pleasantly served within a reasonable amount of time! My fondest memories were sitting among the variety of books, and interesting decor. I'll be back:)

One of the best breakfast sandwiches my boyfriend and I have ever had! This is a very cute cafe tucked away in Mahone Bay, and it's totally worth the trip! It feels like a tea party and bookstore mashed into one. Great food and friendly staff. We're definitely going to miss the biscuits!

An amazing little restaurant that was always a go-to treat in NS. Sadly the owners have had to pivot their offerings and their in-dining will change to pickup-only for sandwiches and pastries. This was a fantastic location for afternoon tea when you wanted to splurge a bit, or we're celebrating something truly special. Staff was amazing, people here were so friendly, we will always remember our times here. I think we were the last to have tea service ever. Local community hub, they also sold relevant local products like old posters or reprints. They will be missed as a restaurant, and lots of possibilities if they sell the antique house.

Quaint little cafe. Think it's popular for afternoon tea, but my wife and I stopped by to take out some goodies on our way to explore Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. We got the blueberry tart (great buttery shell, strong blueberry compote), lemon tart (ditto with all the goodness), dark chocolate carmelita (oaty bar which was nicely chewy, though would have liked a stronger dark chocolate cake) and cookie (super soft). While really pricey, it's obvious Biscuit Eater takes pride in the quality and care it puts in it's products. The owner mentioned they may be shutting down soon and moving on, so if you're in the area, stop by before they go - it's a definite treat!

This is the best high tea you can get in Nova Scotia. There is a very relaxed air here so you can sit and enjoy for however long you'd like. The food is absolutely delicious and their teas are local. A genuinely Nova Scotian gem, that has local authors and supports all the right causes. I will definitely be back!

Lovely little place, nice to see it doing so well! I will say if you’re coming on a weekend, don’t come if you’re in a rush. We went and there was a long wait to get our food, but it was understandable due to how busy it was. The staff were all very friendly and the food was delicious! I would 100% go again to see if we just caught them on an off day. I got the afternoon tea tower and asked for it to be vegetarian, and it was awesome.

Yo, straight up the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. It was so good that my friend and I came back the next morning and had it again before leaving NS.
