We stopped in early on Sunday July 14, after camping for a few nights at Cabot Beach. We were tired, hungover, and had had a little wake n bake.... We walked in, dazed and confused, and had no idea what to expect other than we had heard it was "really good" . The young lady taking our orders at the counter was patient, polite, and offered great suggestions which made the process easier for tourists unfamiliar with the menu. She was exactly what we needed in that moment and deserves a lot of kudos for the way she handled everything. Sometimes, in places like this, the menu can be overwhelming and staff can make you feel silly for not being able to decide or understanding how everything works immediately.
We waited for our take-out with our drinks, playing Mario Kart. The vibes inside were immaculate, welcoming, visually pleasing and the bathrooms were very clean!
The food and coffee was absolutely incredible too. We all got various breakfast bagels.
I wish I lived closer I would come all the time, Kensington locals you are lucky to...
Read more10/10 not 5/5 for this place . Their ginormous homemade bagels have made my 5:30 mornings a lil less painful . If you haven’t had the garlic finger one, I suggest you do so. They remind me not of a dense mass market bagel, but rather closer to “nans fresh baked dinner rolls or white bread fresh out of the oven”, then boil it, and top with a dump truck worth of bacon and cheese.
I also have to say I’m pretty obsessed with just walking into this place. I always tell people my soul got locked in the 90s and I’ll never let go of that. Walking into c&b is like teleporting to the 90s with a modern razzle dazzle. Megan’s( the owners) personality - painted on the walls. The names of their drinks and specials are iconic. The staff are all so perfectly suited for the cafe, I don’t know how to explain that, but their personalities just suit it. No I’m not getting paid for this review, I just really like good food and nostalgia . Worth popping in to this...
