About

The Corner Store by missbrenna is a curated general store, blending a modern coastal gift shop with a laid-back café, making it one of the most memorable stops on Cape Breton Island.

Inside, you’ll find Cape Breton apparel, locally inspired gifts, artisan goods, and specialty foods, alongside elevated everyday essentials. It’s an easy place to pick up a thoughtful souvenir or discover something unexpected. 

At the café, grab a great coffee, iced coffee year round, fresh baked goods, focaccia, cookies, and housemade grab-and-go food, all prepared daily. With open and covered deck seating, it’s an easy place to pause—whether you’re coming from the beach, driving the Cabot Trail, or exploring Inverness.

A favourite stop in Inverness, The Corner Store is a go-to for both visitors and locals looking for quality, thoughtful curation, and a genuine Cape Breton experience.
