This sweet coffee shop serves perfectly poured espresso drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and fresh-baked treats. It's worth diverting from the highway for this spot.
You can eat extremely well in New Brunswick, with many restaurants sourcing top-quality ingredients from local farmers, fishermen, and artisan producers. At the top end are some of Canada’s finest restaurants, such as the outstanding Windjammer in Moncton’s Delta Beauséjour Hotel, Little Louis’, also in Moncton, and the Saint John Ale House in Saint John. St. Andrews by-the-Sea has long been a culinary hot spot, notably Savour in the Garden and the Rossmount, while gastro-pubs like Moncton's Tide and Boar are gaining ground throughout the province. At the other end of the scale, if you want to try some authentic Acadian food, there’s a little paper-plate diner in Shediac, Le Menu Acadien, that cooks poutine rappé (boiled potato dumpling with meat filling), fricôt (chicken stew), and other delicacies according to Grandma’s recipes.

A local institution in the heart of town, Honeybeans serves coffee so good that there’s a regular early morning line of locals stretching out of the door.
This little restaurant serves authentic French cuisine—the chef is from France—on a well-balanced menu based on organic and natural ingredients. The menu changes with the season, but if you're looking for a classic escargots à la bourguignonne (snails in garlic butter) or local specialties like Magdalen Islands charcuterie or scallops, you won't be disappointed.
