Welcome To Birkinshaw's

We are a traditional English tea room, coffee house and restaurant with a modern twist, situated in historic downtown Amherst, Nova Scotia. The setting is relaxed and friendly, and the service is always impeccable. Owned and operated by English expats Adrian & Eleanor, Birkinshaw's offers a truly authentic British experience.


Here at Birkinshaw's we do things properly - tea served in vintage china, coffee from our hand built espresso machine and food freshly prepared from the finest ingredients. Eating and drinking at Birkinshaw's makes the everyday just a touch more special. No time to eat in? You can get your 'Joe on the go' (or your tea) and choose a sweet or savoury something to take with it from our take out next door, B Ready, - all homemade using the finest ingredients.

 

Comfortably housed in an old brick warehouse, with the entrance on Ratchford Street, Birkinshaw's has retained much of the building's historic character and offers a calm and relaxing environment. With vintage china and tablecloths, easy chairs and coffee tables, you can decide whether to linger with coffee and cake, enjoy a lovely light lunch, or meet for a cream tea with your colleagues to end the week on a high note.

​

Whatever you decide, you know the food and drink will be wonderful, and the ambience just right. The team here at Birkinshaw's look forward to welcoming you very soon!
