Welcome to The Nosy Crow Bites & Brews, a delightful café nestled in the picturesque town of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia. This charming spot not only boasts a beautiful location right at the 'y' in Mahone Bay but also offers an array of delicious bites and brews that cater to every palate.

Cute place right at the y in Mahone Bay. So if you sit outside you can see the harbour or the comings and goings of visitors. I had the Taco bowl and my son the BLT both where delicious and very satisfying. Can wait to go back!!!

Food was good, latte I don’t think was made correctly as it was the exact same size as the cappuccino, wasn’t the tastiest but not awful.

I visited this lovely cafe while visiting Mahone Bay. The owners are friendly. There are some very healthy and unhealthy options available for eating depending on your mood. I got the Thai buddhabowl which was absolutely delicious and left me filled. The only thing that could be improved is that there is very limited indoor seating. It appears that there is outdoor seating which is fine if the weather is warm.

We stopped for a quick lunch and were pleasantly surprised! I had a wrap and my husband a sandwich. All of the ingredients in my wrap were so fresh! And it was seriously delicious. His sandwich the same. The service was excellent. The mother and daughter were funny, kind and the kind of ns hospitality I miss as a ns girl now living elsewhere. The cute inside was a great place to chill out, with a nice view before continuing our day. I'd happily return again. And I never like to try the same place twice!

Extremely good spicy chicken sandwich. Do not miss out on this beauty. Also great espresso/coffee, baked goods, sandwiches and pizza I believe. Also some good healthy soups and salads. Vegetarian/vegan friendly. Excellent for to go or eat in. Can't recommend the spicy chicken sandwich enough.
