We came here for lunch after landing in St Johns. After sitting on a plane, this simple to the point meal was perfect. I didn't leave feeling heavy or hungry. I loved it even more after finding out that they do this as a social enterprise to help vulnerable adults and help get them into the food service industry.
The service was really good and the food and atmosphere is perfect. There is a small outside area to eat but we just sat inside by the window. It's a lovely cafe to have lunch. We didn't need reservations or have to wait in line and came in 30 minutes before they were expected to close. We never felt rushed or like we were being waited for. I would say the cost is acceptable and for the cause, I would say that it is well worth paying for.
Would definitely return to have lunch.
The ambiance of the place is good with giant windows. It's very bright and clean. The fresh little flower vase was a nice touch. The food is alright. Although it's unique, it's a little bit pricey. I liked the Mimosas here. Tried the soft shell moose tacos and breakfast on the bun with potatoes and salad. The dessert was delicious. The covid protocols are being practiced and the tables spread apart.
This teeny café is delightful. It’s not cramped, there is no uncomfortable banquette seating (thank the gods!) and it’s open and sunny in the morning.
The server was extremely friendly and attentive. The food was delicious (we both had the hearty breakfast with sausage) and we were tempted by dessert afterwards but couldn’t have fit it in! We will definitely return though.
Really fantastic cafe. Came here for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was delicious without feeling too heavy or over-seasoned, and there was a good mix of traditional fare as well as more contemporary/creative options. Ambience was cozy but not cramped and space was well-lit. Service was friendly and very quick.
Short menu, short wine list and the very freshest ingredients at the Hungry Heart Cafe! Plus, the restaurant has a mission to train people who have barriers to employment. A feel good experience, all way 'round!
My mom and I really enjoyed our experience. We ate a delicious seasonal meal and finished with some yummy desserts. Glad to have found a place that serves great food and also does good work in the community.
Wonderful Cafe in the downtown St. John’s area that provides excellent meals and snacks made on site.
This Cafe is part of the Stella Burry Corp a United Church entity that assists individuals in the St. John's area that are going through difficult times in their life.
The Cafe a small part of the overall Stella Burry Corp. Which was setup to teach individuals life and job skills in the cooking and service industries so when you eat there you not only get great food and service at reasonable prices but you are making a difference in someone's life.
Food choices are all made on site and focus on local food choices so it is both great for visitors to the city and long term residents.
The restaurant is located in a historic building on Rawlins Cross that was the long time home of the W. J. Murphy supermarket on if the last family owned stores in the city.
If you are in the area, eat here. If you are nowhere near the area, make the journey to come eat here. You will not regret it. The food is amazing and delicious. I would 100% marry the chef for their soup of the day.
Ambiance is adorable, relaxing and on point. Everything I could ask for in a cafe is here: curtains to show off the windows and draw attention to the natural lighting, copious amounts of houseplants, expert use of accent lighting. I honestly never want to eat anywhere else.
I have only been to this place twice but it is such a nice location to go for even a quick lunch or snack. I have truly enjoyed the food. I have enjoyed the people. And Paul (our host) was so helpful that it made the experience even better. About the only complaint that I had was the parking was not the easiest during lunch but that is about it. Oh, and the desserts were really good, which is always a big plus for me.
As a St. John's local this is one of my favourite spots to brunch/lunch. Their menu is always evolving, fresh and most importantly delicious. Every time I have gone I have left feeling satisfied and happy. They really do feed your heart.
We had lunch there today and the atmosphere, food and service was phenomenal! Very comfortable environment, polite and attentive server and the food was outstanding! Now mine and my mother's favorite food spot!
Absolutely love this place! They have the best frittatas I’ve ever had and their pasta is also amazing ❤️ Can’t say enough good things about this café
Nice place to go!
Food was very good service also!
Beyond the wonderful community service they do here as part of Stella's Circle, it is easily one of the best lunch places in town. There's always something new and delightful on the menu, the food is always a feast for the eyes and the stomach, and the room is a bright and comfortable place to relax and converse. A mainstay of the St. John's food scene.
Absolutely fabulous! Everything is made w care from old fashioned ice tea to entrees. Perfect service. I am now a loyal customer.
