Reviews of Skippers Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Corinna Snow

Great service! However the fish was bland. I had the spaghetti and meatballs which was just ok. They used canned mushrooms which turned me off. The fish cakes were good though.

I ordered the special yesterday evening which was fish and brewis with homemade baked beans, and I finished with the molasses pudding, it was all wonderful except for the baked beans, they were undercooked. The service was fantastic and they replaced my beans.

This place was awesome! Beautiful dining area with a great ocean view. The service was friendly and welcoming. Ordered soup as an appetizer. Absolutely delicious. Had their Fish Cake Trio and was blown away! So good, and filling! Would definitely visit there again.

Great food and drinks right in the harbor. It is accessible and has awesome staff. Thanks for you wonderful hospitality and amazing cooking.

Vince Chaulk

Great food, nice view

Renée F MacDonald

Beautiful restaurant, lovely decor but food was cooked from frozen and was overpriced. I could've bought the same packaged food at a grocery store for less. Menu was pretty typical of a Newfoundland / fish and chips restaurant. Service was polite but not fantastic, in fact both servers were hardly around to be seen but could be heard chatting behind walls. Restaurant was not busy at all.

Milltown Collectibles

Nice food, prompt and friendly service, if you are expecting a Lobster meal make sure you inquire ahead of time as it as not on the menu when we were there. However, our meals were excellent so we didn't leave diappointed

Heather Shantz

Scrumptious crab au gratin. And the meringue on the lemon pie was as high as an iceberg.

Cindy Caissie

Food is slightly over priced and mine was over cooked. They have great fishcakes, friendly staff and a fantastic view of the harbour

Arjan Jianfar

nice food and service

Adam Popper

Good food and view. You pay for the view in the price of the food. We had the fish and chips, salad, muscles and a beer and it came to over $60 with tip and tax. Service was kind and fast.

Leonmary Brubaker

Good food. Nice setting.

Very lovely, I had the biggest burger! They have locally knit goods for sale and I got a cute pair of mittens! Amazing view from the deck!

I had the salt fish. Delish! Good view too.

Ric Macnl

Had their Cod au Gratin and my spouse had the fish cakes. My cod so gratin was very nice, I enjoyed it. My spouse thought the fish cakes were delicious and really enjoyed the chutney they were served with. The service was good and the restaurant is inviting and the prices were reasonable. Would visit again

Delicious meals and clean comfy accommodation. Best place to stay in. Try the lasagne seafood and local mussels entree as the sun sets. Iceberg beer is a must as well. Friendly staff and family feel. Thank you for making me feel so welcomed to your beautiful town.

Julie Huntington

The pan fried cod and tongues were top notch. I really like the tangy homemade coleslaw. The view is boats and harbour. The staff was kind . I would have liked more local tap beers...I would return again.

Curtis Phillips

Awesome food,friendly staff.

Really enjoyed our meal at The Skipper while visiting Bonavista with friends. This restaurant had all the service and charm you'd look for while exploring Newfoundland.

Donny Moore

Lovely location in Newfoundland. Tasty food and good service.

Frederick Russell

Wonderful dinner as usual.

Zachary Lucky

Small, quaint restaurant with standard pub fair and newfoundland seafood. Good service, good food.

Belinda DeGuglielmo

Convenient location with enough parking for a large RV. Seafood chowder has lots of seafood. Turkey soup had lots of turkey. Both were very tasty.

Sy Fung

Upon arriving Bonavista NL, I had my first lobster dinner at Skippers! It was fresh and quite good. The rest of the our members had snow crab, cod tongue, prime rib, etc. All looked and tasted good. We were seated comfortably at one long table and the restaurant was quite packed with tourists. Friendly staff and cozy, relax ambience.

We enjoyed our breakfast. The place was spacious and not busy when we went there early morning. Service was good and price was reasonable. Food itself was fresh and good. Toasts were nice.

Ann Anctil

Service was GREAT! Thoughtful and friendly server. Enjoyed the fish and chips.....with freshly made coleslaw....yum! The view was fabulous...clear evening.

shane miller

Excellent breakfast. Pancakes were loaded with blueberry's.

Betty Lou Snook

Try the Seafood Lasagna. EXCELLENT!

Nadine Thompson

Best seafood lasagna! Loads of big chicks of seafood in it. Amazing service! The ladies were all very nice I recommend reserving a window seat, you get a nice view of the harbour. Some of their items can sell out if enough people order it. So if what you wanted is out, try the next day! That's what we did. Got something else and returned the next day. Loved all the dishes we tried. Big portions. If you miss veggies out here, this is your best bet! Big salads and fresh steamed broccoli available. Didnt see broccoli anywhere else this whole week

Kara Lackie

Great place to have breakfast or dinner. The fish cakes & French toast are my favourite. Friendly staff, Newfoundland food & cozy dining room

PetrifiedPops

Great food. Great staff. Great experience. I had one small issue with my order and it was addressed far beyond my expectation. Absolutely no problem recommending Skippers on the basis of our experience.

Isa Haque

Awesome food and atmosphere.

Jean Butt

Beautiful view. Excellent food.

Holly McGrath

Both myself and my husband had the $26.99 chicken and rib meal each, when it came out the mashed potatoes were icy cold as well as the chicken and veggies, the ribs were ok but nothing to brag about and a very small portion at that as well the chicken was extremely dry! I mentioned to the waitress that everything was cold and she brought it back to the kitchen and put it in the microwave. The meal CERTAINLY was not worth the money and when you pay $78.00 for a meal you at least expect it to be hot and not reheated in the microwave. The waitresses demeanour changed when we told her everything was cold! We will not be returning!

Ryan King

Fish cakes, crab leg dinner and the fish and chips were all great!

scott klein

Food is not bad but service was slow

Mary Furlong

The food was delicious, staff very helpful, friendly and cheerful. Restaurant very clean and comfortable. Well worth a visit. ????????????

MHD

Amazing lobster!

Rob Coombs

Still like the fish cake trio but they don't do the three accompanying chutney flavours anymore...too bad.

Benoit-Xavier Francoeur

(Translated) The staff are nice and the cod is excellent, the fish ans chip is accompanied by a mountain of fries. (Original) Le personnel est gentil et la morue est excellente, le fish ans chip est accompagné d'une montagne de frites.
