Ernie's Coffee Shop

With a fresh seasonal menu and classic staples, Ernie's is the best spot in town to eat and relax with a drink. Everything was delicious, the service was quick and the staff were so friendly. The housemate ricotta and tomato salad were out of this world. AND I would come back just for the coconut cream pie. Ten on ten will dine again.

What a hidden gem! The restaurant is situated in a beautifully preserved diner, complete with homey interior, eclectic dish ware, and jukeboxes (unfortunately non-functional) at each table. Waitstaff was friendly and knowledgable, and the kitchen offered to create a special dish to accommodate my dairy allergy. Above and beyond service! The food itself was marvelous — oysters were perfect, chicken was moist with deliciously crisp skin, and the vinaigrette on the salad was good enough to drink. Highly recommend dinner at Ernie’s!

I had a client fly me up for the weekend for a landscape design site visit and we dropped in for lunch. I had the memorable Gore St. LW ribs and and some local craft beer. I highly recommend ERNIES to friends and clients who are heading up to Sault Ste. Marie.
