The Hungry Traveler Cafe - Schnares Crossing, Nova Scotia

Happy to have finally gotten a chance to visit The Hungry Traveler Cafe. The restaurant itself is clean and cheerful, the fresh baked treats and bread line the front counter which look delectable. The menu itself is small and not a lot that’s vegan friendly, I was looking forward to the chickpea mash sandwich but they didn’t have it and instead had a zucchini sandwich which was bland because it normally came with feta. But I loved the Moroccan red lentil soup and I’d go back just for a bowl of soup. I also got a frozen vegan shepherds pie and had that at home and it was incredible! Having an option like that on the cafe menu would be wonderful. And I got the double chocolate cookies for home and they were amazing as well!!
It’s wonderful to have a halal restaurant on the south shore.

Your patience will be rewarded with a delicious meal, good value and price.

You are a little cozy with your neighbor, but you’ll enjoy getting to know the locals.

If you like bacon and beef bacon is not your cup of tea, ask for smoke salmon

I had an okay experience here, we were the only people there on Wednesday for lunch. The service was fine and I got the Eggs Benedict which was good but not very much. My wife got the breakfast bowl which was better. Wasn’t a bit fan of the kombucha they carry. I think it’s still worth stopping in but I didn’t have a great experience. It was also a bit pricey.

Great food and great people. The atmosphere was also nice. I had a chicken sandwich, banana bread, and soup of the day. I don't exactly remember the name of the soup (I think apple something), it had a sweet flavor, very delicious. Wish them all the best!

My family and I went to the hungry Traveler looking for some tasty treats. The staff were super friendly. We first asked for a charcuterie board and they brought it right away while we took time to decide what we wanted to order. Our baby especially loved th charcuterie board as everything was cut into finger food size. We later met the owner and found out that this dish was inspired by what her own daughter likes to eat. We ended up ordering 2 coffees a smoked meat sandwich and a chicken club sandwich. The food tasted amazing which was no surprise as they use local ingredients and in-house freshly baked bread. We really wanted to try there baked goods but were too full. Definitely will be going back for the baked goods and other upcoming exciting menu items.

We had breakfast egg sandwiches which were nice and fresh with tea. After that, we got the drip coffee with some desserts to try, including the millionnaire bar and lime lavender cookie. The café is located near Lunenberg and I liked that the prices included the gratitude so you don’t have to worry about it. All the food is Halal and they don’t serve pork bacon, but they offer beef bacon instead.

The food taste really good, but it took time to make the sandwiches about 40 minutes which is the only downside if you’re tied in time. Otherwise I really recommend this nice cafe.

We stopped in for breakfast and we were very impressed, the beef bacon was particularly amazing and the first time we’ve tried it! Portion sizes were great, baked good excellent. The staff were lovely! You won’t be disappointed!
