A few months ago I was talking with some friends and we all agreed the thing that was missing from Sackville was a place to grab a really good cup of coffee. Now don’t get me wrong I am no coffee snob, I like drive-thru coffee as much as the next guy but sometimes I want something better.
A few days later as I was driving along Sackville Drive I saw this;
This all happened in April and I have been looking forward ever since to tell you all about Nu Cafe!
After a number of years staying home with her children Cellie Chisholm decided that she wanted to go back to work. Instead of finding a job this mompreneur decided to open her own business. And am I ever glad she did!
The coffee they brew there is second to none and the fresh pastries are simply to die for. I have now had the lemon poppy seed muffin, the cinnamon rolls, and the raisin tarts. Along with the great food I have been so impressed with the friendly service, and the ambiance inside the cafe. Of course I am also glad they offer with free WiFi which means I have finally found my new off site office.
Nu Cafe features an assortment of coffee, tea, espresso, soups, salads, sandwiches, smoothies and they have just recently added ice cream to the menu. PWith a selection like that they easily have something for the entire family at any point of the day. Having such a wonderful new cafe, the Nu Cafe in Sackville is good news for sure.
The only problem I had with everything being so good was trying to figure out what in particular to recommend.Thankfully Cellie has come to my rescue there. She has given me a wonderful prize to give to one of you; ice cream and drinks for four. Perfect for a family outing or a double date!

Now I want to try it. Next time I’m in Sackville I will be dropping by 🙂
You should they make a great cup of coffee there.
I have been following them ever since we were planning to move to Sackville. A lack of coffee shop was quickly noticed by me, so it is great that they’ve opened up! 🙂
Sackville Dr is a funny place, it is really long and covered in strip-malls pushed pretty far back from the road which doesn’t encourage a lot of foot traffic. I have been excited to see recent growth in small businesses, and I hope we will start to look at ways to make the road more walk-able.
My son and I went almost 2 weeks ago and I can speak for the tasty coffee/cinnamon roll combo that I enjoyed, and he loved the ice cream. Service was great also. Happy to spend a few dollars there and support a local entrepreneur!
Absolutely, my thoughts exactly!
Mmm… you had me at Cinnamon Roll (and coffee of course) 🙂
They were very good
Can’t wait to check this place out! Thanks for the post Christopher!
You are welcome! They are a great place to check out.
Hooray! I don’t even live in Sackville and I had noticed that they were sorely lacking a good coffee shop. 🙂 looking forward to checking them out!
I know right! But you pop out this way often enough that a good coffee spot would be good for you too.
Thanks for sharing this – I can’t wait to drop in and check it out!
You are welcome, it is a great place to stop in!
I was at Kaisers last week and visited that cafe. Owner was great.going back next time in Sackville!
I am glad to hear that, I am also glad you went to Kaisers. That sub shop was one of the reasons I was really happy to move back to Sackville.
They have cinnamon rolls? That’s all I needed to know. Always on the lookout for the ultimate cinnamon roll. 🙂
They do, you should absolutely check them out!
