Food, fun and an outdoor experience in the heart of historical Bonavista.

In the heart of historic Bonavista, you will find a place unlike any other. Steeped in history, Bonavista Bicycle Picnics & Cafe sits alongside the ocean where whales gather and icebergs flow.

It’s here that history and modern food converge to create an atmosphere unlike anything else in the area.

Step inside and find out more.

An authentic local experience.

The site of our café is the Historic Barter Shop. Built in the 1920’s, it was where local fishermen exchanged fish for credit notes – which was used to get food and supplies for the winter. No money exchanged hands. It is now a Provincial Historic Site.

This is the small, local Cafe that everyone wishes they had in their local neighborhood.

– Jim Courville

It is quaint, and run by the nicest folks anyone could ask to help them. We enjoyed yogurt parfait with homemade granola, locally made (and grown!) berry jam, and mint leaves picked right from the back garden.

The breads and pastries are top notch. Coffee is great, again it's local from Trinity, and keeps everything symbiotic to Newfoundland.
