Cosie's

45 King Street West, Brockville, Ontario

In this aptly named cozy tearoom, you’ll feel as though you’ve dropped into a corner of England as you sip Earl Grey from a vintage cup. Nosh on British-style pasties, Eccles cakes, crumpets drizzled with butter, or scones accompanied by jam and clotted cream. This is very much a place where the Old World meets the New: British-Canadian owners Alison and Paul Goodyer make many of their treats with local ingredients, including strawberries, apples and ground pork.

In the heart of a historic downtown near various attractions.

Recess Cafe

2761 ON-15, Unit 103, Portland, Ontario

Housed in a former school, the Recess Café may make you feel like you’re back in class, with its retro wall murals and stacking chairs. However, the food is anything but institutional—think baked French toast dripping with Blair Brothers maple syrup from nearby Westport, or a breakfast club sandwich made with local Bushgarden Farmstead cheese. Scones, carrot cake, cowboy cookies and cinnamon rolls are among the best-selling items. Soups, sandwiches, salads and bowls are available, along with premium brewed coffee, lattes and cappuccinos featuring latte art.

On a tree-shaded site on Portland’s edge.

34 Main Street, Westport, Ontario

Beloved for its fresh, hand-rolled bagels, Vanilla Beans also sells scones, butter tarts, whoopie pies and other baked treats. With its stone walls, pressed-tin ceiling, ceiling fans and wood floors, it feels like an old-fashioned ice cream parlour—and, indeed, in summer it does a brisk business in ice cream cones and dairy-free sorbets. You’ll also find espresso, grilled sandwiches, popcorn and other light fare. Many products feature local ingredients, such as maple syrup, honey, berries, produce and ham.

In an old stone house across the street from the harbour.
