Highwheeler Café & Bakery

A cosy Baddeck bakery-café with scratch-baked pastries and proper coffee. The Highwheeler is where Baddeck mornings happen — locals on first-name terms, travellers fuelling up before the Cabot Trail, and a steady stream of cinnamon-roll converts.

What to expect

• Bakery counter front, cafe seating in back
• Real espresso, drip coffee, and tea done well
• Sandwiches, soups, and salads at lunch
• A steady, friendly buzz; not quiet, not loud

Don't miss

• The cinnamon rolls — early or you miss them
• A house-made soup and roll for lunch
• The carrot cake when it's on the counter

Good to know

• Open early; closes mid-afternoon most days
• Cards accepted; tip jar appreciated
• Wheelchair accessible
• Limited parking; walk from anywhere downtown

Pair it with

• A morning Amoeba sail from the wharf
• The Bell Museum, 5 minutes away
• An afternoon coffee on the Inverary Resort lawn
