Cozy Uptown Vibes with East Coast Eater

December 17, 2025


We've partnered with Alex Kwok (@east_coasteater) to showcase local favourite and hidden gem dining experiences throughout the Saint John Region. Recently, Alex explored the cozy vibes and festive experiences found in uptown Saint John, including Catapult Coffee, Pomodori's, Picaroons, and Port City Royal. Check out his reel and be sure to add stops at each of these locations on your next bay-cation!

As part of this partnership, we also gave away gift cards to each of the locations Alex visited - congratulations to Courtney Chase, our contest winner.
