It's a coffee shop, open early on weekdays for your coffee fix! But owners Kelsey and Valerie also offer a selection of wraps and small salads in jars (just the right portion size), along with soups and other specialties for lunch. You can eat there or take out! Kelsey also offers all kinds of baked goods: muffins, banana bread, brownies and some GF choices. I have to mention, she also sells healthy treats for dogs (hence "barkery" in the business name). Also: serving Kawartha ice cream. Cute shop; friendly owners.

Nicko's Resto Bar is a go-to place in Vankleek Hill. Everything is good here. A few of my favs: the pizza with Nicko's own home-made sauce. The souvlaki platter. The pita souvlaki wrap. Club sandwich? And oh, yes, you must ask for the house dressing! A great place for family groups and Nick and Louise are the best to accommodate bus tours.
