About Us

“MEET YOU AT THE KIWI!”

 

The Kiwi Café is Chester, Nova Scotia’s communal kitchen: the always-warm, easy-breezy spot to meet, greet and share happy memories together. At the Kiwi, we're seriously passionate about good food and good coffee—with international themes, rich, homemade flavours, and the freshest of local ingredients. Stop by for delicious treats, wonderful soups and lunches, and our famous all-day breakfast!

In the heart of Nova Scotia’s idyllic south shore, the Kiwi is your Chester home base. Our beloved, picturesque village is a bounty of sunny weekends, world-class sailing, cozy cottages, and rambling old hit estates by the sea. Famed for its wild roses and ocean vistas around every corner, Chester welcomes you to walk its tree and flower-lined streets, have a splash at Freda’s Beach or the Lido, stage a joyful party, or trim a jib during Chester Race Week. No matter how you explore our village, enjoy it with Kiwi fuel!

open every day 8 AM - 4 PM with all-day breakfast, lunch, and refreshments

On a sunny day you’ll often find a four-legged visitor or two at the Kiwi—we’ve got several patio-happy regulars who stop in for a visit on their village walks. We keep the water bowl fresh and cold, and we’ve even got treats from the bakery just for them. Welcome!
