Canoe On the Run

Excellent breakfast. Enjoy going every time we are in Deep Creek.

We ordered the breakfast sandwich, and breakfast burrito. They were both unimpressive, both sandwiches tasted the same!
We did like the café atmosphere that it had with the fireplace. It gives it a cozy feel.

I love this place for breakfast. They open on the dot, and have fast, friendly service and delicious food. A variety of delicious breakfast sandwiches, muffins, eggs and great lattes. We come here anytime we are staying in the area.

Food good but have waited an hour for breakfast and sandwiches on numerous occasions. I am hesitant on going back because of this. It is not worth 2 hours of my time to eat breakfast or a salad and sandwich

Canoe on the Run was great! A lovely little hidden gem. The quesadillas were simply delicious; not too much cheese, freshly made, with good quality chicken and chipotle sour cream. Yum! My husband’s focaccia chicken sandwich was to die for and my turkey and gouda was light and tasty. We are so glad we tried this place. Don’t let the simple menu or pictures online fool you, they are well worth the trip and the food is packed with flavor.

Good food, casual atmosphere, kid friendly, fresh ingredients. Would definitely come back!

I love coming here whenever I am at the lake! It’s a wonderful spot to grab some breakfast or lunch. It’s the only place on this planet that I will order oat meal (trust me, it’s that good). Overall, its a cool place to get some good food and a hot drink. The inside is very relaxing with lots of windows, or you can sit outside on the balcony. I’m definitely looking forward to my next visit!

This place has decent coffee and a cool locale. But the people that work there act as if they are doing you a favor by letting you be there. They never have decaf brewed.

Cute little place and friendly service. Sandwiches were very good, freshly made, as were the salad and fruit cup. I knocked off a star because they had three soups that day, all of which had beans! How about some variety for those of us prone to indigestion? Otherwise, highly recommended.

The breakfast bakery items are great but clearly they will serve items (chocolate croissant we had today) that was a day old. The lunch items are generally delicious and the specials are interesting and tasty. The owner is the most unpleasant, unsmiling restaurant owner I’ve EVER encountered. It’s probably the best breakfast /​lunch place in deep creek but giving money to a restaurant where the owner is so unappreciative and unpleasant definitely takes away from the enjoyment.

First time visiting and it was really good place looked beautiful, staff were wonderful and food was delicious :) prices were great too.

Amazing breakfast, sangria soup and sandwiches… Small town local place… plenty of outdoor seating and pup friendly… Great place… Great service.

Great locally owned, coffee house, restaurant. Food was excellent, fresh and seasonal, with a nod to healthy, which I always love in a restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!

The turkey, bacon, avocado, cole slaw sandwich was fabulous today!

Always fresh menu! Options are somewhat limited to soups, salads, sandwiches and pastries — bit always seems fresh and inspired food.
Recent avocado mango chicken salad was especially good. Chicken curry sandwich and chicken noodle soup are standouts!
Coffee and espresso options are good too.
They are not open for dinner so plan on a big breakfast or lunch visit.

Nice little Café tucked into the hilly terrain of Deep Creek Lake. Great atmosphere and equally great food. My wife really enjoyed her sandwich which was the café special. She said it was the best sandwich she has in a while. I had the turkey bacon cheddar sandwich. The bread seemed freshly baked. Very good! The entire family enjoyed their meals and entire experience.

Fresh — good fresh and health. Nice place for lunch

Open for breakfast and lunch only, Canoe On The Run is a landmark restaurant in Deep Creek Lake. The name alone enticed us to give this charming breakfast café a try. We were the first customers to arrive Sunday morning, July 13… which meant we had first choice of the pastries! The menu isn’t overflowing with items to choose from, but really does that matter if what’s on the menu is oh-​so-​delicious? I think not!
I had the oatmeal with fruit and brown sugar. I was impressed that the oatmeal was actually good and not a mushy mess. My husband had the breakfast burrito with spinach ~ SO good! Yes, I had to have a bite… or two… or three of his! We both had a pastry with our coffee.
The setting of this restaurant is off the beaten path which makes for a pleasant eating experience. Plenty of outdoor tables! Prices are reasonable too.
The only draw back, and the reason for 4.5 stars, is the lack of a nice coffee bar. Don’t get me wrong, the coffee is good, and refills are self serve, but honestly it feels uncomfortable filling your coffee mug when the waitress is waiting to fill another customers mug from the same coffee dispenser.

I debated 4 or 5 stars, so really I’d give it a 4.5 if I could; it was definitely excellent, but not out-​of-​this-​world delicious. Food is refreshing compared to other options in the area – I dig a good deli sandwich. Be aware, Canoe On The Run is currently only open for breakfast and lunch.
I ate lunch here, so I can’t comment on the breakfast, although based on my experience I would guess that it is probably good, as well. This is a great place to go if you feel like going out but don’t want pizza or something heavy. Prices are very reasonable. I just had a turkey sandwich, but for some reason it seemed better than any turkey sandwich I’ve ever made myself. All of the ingredients (bread, meat, cheese, greens, etc.) seemed super fresh and high quality. They also have some delicious homemade desserts that are hard to resist.
P. s. if you like this place, I recommend Moonshadow in Accident, MD for dinner.

This place is fab! I wish I lived closer — I’d definitely be a frequent customer. As it was, I had only the opportunity to lunch here during a weekend in Deep Creek. My gf raved about the vegetarian chili and her mocha, while I very much enjoyed my pastrami sandwich and vegetable soup. The only thing I didn’t love about it was my cranberry bliss bar which had this weird aftertaste I couldn’t place.
Lots of vegetarian options is always a plus, and I really enjoyed their cosy set up.
