Savor the Flavors of the Season
At The Flying Apron, our motto is "We Do Local," and our philosophy is to eat with the bounty of the season and support the growth of local agriculture in Nova Scotia by supporting local farmers and producers.
Our local food menu is seasonal and changes daily to allow us to feature what is being harvested daily by our farmers and producers and to account for our use of whole animals. Many of our menu ingredients come from within 20 minutes of the cafe, including sustainable fish, organic produce, organic fruit, Handmade Cheese, Grass raised Beef, and lamb & pork raised just down the road on our Partner Farm, Ironwood Farm.
Cheers to Local!
Our celebration of local isn’t confined to just our Café Menu! We have a thoughtfully curated beverage menu for you to enjoy while at The Flying Apron Cookery. From locally produced NS wine, delicious Vinious Ciders, and lovingly Crafted Beer to our house-made sweet tea, fresh lemonade, and more, we make choosing local easy.
We are also proud to offer Espresso, Cappuccino, Lattes, and more with selections from Sunday Silence Roastery, Just Us! Organic & Fair Trade Coffee Roasters and beverage options from Chill Street Soda, Halifax’s Propeller Brewing Co., and Lunenburg’s Terra Beata Juice.
We are known as a dessert oasis for a Reason!
You don’t want to skip Dessert at The Flying Apron! We offer a stunning selection of made from scratch desserts, sorbets & gelatos.
Our dessert selections change daily and often include items like a strudel or pie, Gluten Free Chocolate Mocha Cake, Crème Brulée, the ever-popular Lemon Tart with Chocolate Crust and our one-of-a-kind Cream Cheese Pie. Enjoyed with a cup of locally roasted Organic Fair-Trade Coffee or Tea, it’s the stuff dreams are made of!
