The Battery Cafe

It is the perfect spot to unwind right after watching the sunrise at Cape Spear. We grabbed a table on the patio, which made the whole experience even better. I had a cold brew with their chimi chicken sandwich which was flavourful and satisfying, while my partner had a macchiato and toast. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, exactly the kind of place you want to linger for a while with good coffee and good company.

Tucked into the colorful, crooked hillside row houses of downtown St. John’s, The Battery Café feels like stumbling into a cozy secret you immediately want to tell everyone about. We ordered the French toast piled high with blueberries (basically happiness on a plate) and flat whites that could bring even the sleepiest Newfoundlander back to life after a foggy morning. The café has this charming, almost storybook atmosphere—quaint without being pretentious, and hip without trying too hard. It’s the kind of place where you half-expect a fiddler to wander in, play a tune, and then sit down beside you for a latte. If you’re climbing the hills and need a reward (or just an excuse not to keep climbing), this little gem is absolutely worth the stop. Five stars, would gladly eat blueberry French toast here until gravity finally wins against those steep streets.

Had to try it while in St. John’s and before my walk to Signal Hill. Got the kicker breakfast wrap which was good and a Matcha latte. Unfortunately not much places to sit inside so had to sit outside in the patio while it was cold and wet post rain..

Food options are delicious, love that they have a smoked tomato substitute for the smoked salmon, and the veggie wrap is tasty, although lacking any protein (tofu or lentils). Coffee is fine, but seems to take a long time to be made. Nice view of the water for some of the tables. The little library houses some cool books. Workers of the world unite!
