😂 We see this conversation happen a lot...

"We've been meaning to visit the museum again!"

"Oh really? When was the last time you were here?"

"...Grade 6."

No judgment! But if your last visit involved a permission slip and a packed lunch, it might be time for another trip underground. ⛏️

Trust us, a lot has changed since then.

It's official... The Wheelhouse Cafe opens one week from today, Thursday June 25! 🎉

We put a lot of love into refreshing our menu last year and we've kept the best of it, including the fish and chips that keep people coming back. We have a few new additions this year too, so there's lots to look forward to!

Come find us at the Grand Narrows Waterfront. See you June 25! ☀️🍦

If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect crust and crumb, you'll be happy to know that Roman from Brød - Baddeck is back at the market! Brød crafts exceptional, naturally leavened sourdough breads and buns right here in the heart of Baddeck. By focusing on simple ingredients and a patient, slow-fermentation process, they let time do the work to develop deep flavour, incredible texture, and distinct character in every single loaf.

Don't miss your chance to grab some fresh, artisan baking. Be sure to stop by his table this Saturday before it sells out!
