Buddha Bear Coffee Roaster & Cafe

Wow! What a surprise in Alma! Excellent local beer on a tap and excellent espresso! Very nice surprise after visiting the park!

We were looking for a fun place to have a beer or two after a day of hiking at Fundy national Park. We were attracted to Buddha Bear by the smell from the large wood-burning oven located in front of the property. We ordered local draft beers from a good selection, and proceeded to order food-then more food! Raw oysters, baked oysters, mussels, and scallops with bacon and brussel sprouts. Everything was delicious, especially the cooked items that picked up some of the nice wood smoke flavor. We enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio and chatting with several other visitors while savoring our meal.

Stopping by for a drink, we found that the Buddha Bear offered so much more. This looks like a new business as they await a brewing licence, but in the mean time serve 14 craft beers or cider. Seating is outside or inside in what is a converted church. Tried a few of the beers, excellent quality and all the same $8, just varying in glass size depending on strength. Coffee is also fresh and from an expresso machine, with a large selection of home roasts and types of coffee. There is also a limited but eclectic assortment of food, cooked to order in the grill outside. Its self service once your food is ready. The food is a change from the typical tourist offerings available everywhere else. We returned later and made it our dinner spot, ordering food as we wanted. Good luck to the guys running this, as it is such a different offering to all the other places locally.

One of the best bakeries we ate at in Paris! The bread rolls are so simple yet so deliciousI highly recommend their olive rolls.

Guy at the counter was so rude! We were the first customers there and he took his time (or tried to ignore us) to serve us.
