Less than a km South on the sidewalk. Walk over for the best morning coffee then stroll along the multi use trail along Lake Banook & watch the paddlers and rowers.

Great quality food - All courses perfect portion size and delicious. I especially love their pizze (which they give you scissors to cut it with) Friendly staff, bright & airy, great view of the Dartmouth harbourfront. I'd highly recommend a meal here.

That's MicMacMall across the lake! It's a 1.5k walk on the sidewalk across the street, turn left. Or a very quick drive. Also, at the bus stop across the street get on the 55 and it will take you direct to MicMacMall ... 3 minutes tops.
