For the past few weeks, Sackville coffee partners Alice Cotton and Pete Stephenson have been plying their trade in a brand new location under a brand new name. And this Wednesday, the couple will celebrate the official grand opening of their new venture, Café Tintamarre, located inside the Tantramar Visitor Information Centre.
“It’s been really a lot of fun,” says Cotton, about the first few weeks of ‘soft open’ for Café Tintamarre. “We’re having fun comparing week to week, and seeing it build.”
Cotton says the café sees all kinds of customers, including regulars from the Deus Ex Macina coffee truck at the Sackville Farmers Market (which still operates every Saturday), people walking through the Sackville Waterfowl Park, and travelers passing through Sackville, stopping for some tourist information or to use of the new bank of EV chargers recently activated by NB Power.
