Tide & Tales Bistro and Bookstore

We are so happy to have a nice coffee shop in North Rustico. Some of our party had a meal here and said it was quite delicious. I speaking with those who were working there, they explained some of the further plans for the shop. They mentioned the development of the second level to a lounge type environment to enjoy your coffee. Once everything gets dialed in, it will be almost perfect. They have a very nice outdoor patio, plus a grassed yard with tables. There is also a play ground very close for the kids.
The one are that we felt could be improved was the coffees we had were less than average. We are looking forward to getting back to the island to spend some more time here.

Very good atmosphere. The store is newly renovated after the hurricane last year flooded the area, and apparently there are more plans in the future to expand things.
There's a big step into the building, so not wheelchair accessible. Nice seating area outside in the back.
Food was delicious, good quality ingredients (especially their bread)! I had the tuna melt, soup of the day (cream of tomato & red pepper), and mocha. All were fantastic.
There's also a bookstore, but I didn't look too much at that side of things 😅 looked like there were lots of books though!

New Addition to North Rústico.
Open for all year around!
I had lobster roll and tomate & roasted red pepper soup. Both were super delicious!
I can’t wait for next time to come back to PEI and visit here again!

This is such a sweet café with THE BEST lobster rolls! They're served warm and not heavy at all. They're light and full of lobster. The crunchy fish sandwich is delicious too. We loved our lunch. Great selection of books too!

I thought the coffee and fish cakes were very tasty. It was nice to sit outside with my dog. I liked the selection of books. There are some unusual, emotionally deep and intelligent books that shed light on human nature that I recognized on the shelves. I’ve read The kite runner and a thousand splendid suns. Many of the books seemed like they would be an interesting read, fun to browse.
