“Stopped into this Cafe for the first time when i discovered my other favourite local cafe closed down :(I went with a bacon breakfast sandwich and let me tell you.. i am usually a pick eater and it comes with things i would usually leave aside. however i decided to try it as it was intended and i do NOT regret it. One of the best I’ve had here in dartmouth.I also got an iced latte, again, not my usual but it was delicious and creamy.The atmosphere is super welcoming and pleasant all the staff were smiling and it seemed they had a good flow going for how busy they were while I was there ! However, a bit small, it would be awesome if they had the space to expand !I also noticed they had a “Put it on a tab” for those who may not be able to afford a meal. A+ to you guys ! will definitely be back in the future !“

“One of my favourite iced lattes in the city, and the baked goods are always KILLER. the earl grey muffin is dreamy. They also have a day old bin that I utilize as a student on a budget! My only complaint is that I don't love the seating arrangement.“

“What a brilliant place to hang with friends, meet new people, and learn new board games! Amazing drinks and good snack food! Game masters are very helpful in teaching and recommending games. Service all around is perfect; very friendly and inclusive.“

“We had the pleasure of eating at Bird’s Nest today, Chicken Club Sandwiches (and we have our usual cup of coffee everyday there too) The food is outstanding, based on fresh seasonal ingredients clearly put together by a chef that has a true passion for food! The service was fantastic as always, and their staff is so friendly, and they know our usual orders by now. Really recommend this Café to anyone - family, couples and business lunches, Bird’s Nest Cafe make everyone feel a part of them. Thank you Beatrix (Bonni) and Morne’ Botha“

“Today I stopped at this new restaurant as I was looking forward to hopefully enjoy something different for lunch. They truly exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is quaint, the people are so friendly (even met Mom), the price point very reasonable, the menu although small (which is very smart since they are brand new) had options that I cannot get anywhere else and it tasted absolutely amazing. I definitely will be returning regularly. Ohhh and all I could do was talk about my lunch all afternoon. This place will no doubt be a success.“

“I did not ask where they were getting their coffee beans, but the cup of black coffee was just perfect. First time, and I will be back. The breakfast sandwich was also very tasty and toasted just right. I have to come back for their cinnamon bun - they were just taking it our of the oven.“

“super accommodating in modifying any of their food to be vegan, without charging any extras.got a “breakfast sandwich” with kimchi guacamole, cucumber, greens and vegan aioli. so delicious, and loved that they cared enough to make sure it would be as good and filling as something non-vegan. awesome service and cozy space :)“

“Very nice place for lunch. We ordered the soup which was carrot and ginger, I really liked it it was full of flavor. I would have preferred without the small chunks of carrots so that it would have been creamier but I guess it’s just a personal choice. The kimchi sandwich was also very very nice. The first half I ordered was not hot, I guess I should have told them but was too hungry so it wasn’t as nice as I expected. I ordered it again and this it came nice and hot. The gingerbread cookie was super tasty. Staff is super nice.“

“This place has fast service, awesome aesthetics, friendly staff and the best dirty chai latte I've had in the city easily. My wife also said the hot chocolate was REALLY good and she's picky with her hot chocolates. Highly recommend.“

“My favourite Quinnpool coffee shop - you lineup and review the offerings of breakfast sandwiches and muffins, select your coffee, and either wait for takeout or grab a table and they will give you a flag to deliver your order.There are two entrances : one right off Quinnpool and the other one fromVernon, which is accessible with a ramp.To keep traffic moving, no laptops from 9 AM – 3 PM.Free wifi : eatlocal“

“Nice place to climb. Even if you're not a pro, they would make you feel at home. Has a wide range of opening hours and also a coffee shop! You can store your clothes and shoes while practicing. It's also safe for kids (but they have to be supervised by an adult)“

“The best, sweetest most adorable little cafe in Halifax. It brings that otaku joy to my heart as well as my tummy. They make wonderful coffee and treats, and the staff are just as sweet! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to try something different, delicious and cute!!!“

“Of the 2 years I’d lived in HFX, I’d estimate I spent about 14 months right here. That might be a slight exaggeration but Steve‘s was/is a bastion of good coffee, good food and great people, and I miss it a lot — even 15 years later!“

“Went this morning for brunch and had the Croissant sandwich and the Sweet and Savoury (pictured), the food the absolutely delicious, generous portions of Brie in the sandwich. However, my fiancée’s sandwich wasn’t as baked as mine and the Brie was still cold, hence the 4 stars for the food.The coffee was flavourful and well brewed. We each had a macaroon on the way out, they were some of the best we’ve had.“

“Easily my favorite place to grab coffee. AJ and his staff are always so welcoming and friendly. The menu is the perfect size ! Their ice coffee and cappuccinos are always my go to option. If your ever is the south end, drop by and treat yourself !“

“This is a great spot if you want to grab a delicious coffee or specialty drink. The food is handmade, delicious, and visually appealing. Customer service was great— they were very friendly and even served our coffee and cake to our table. The interior of Creamy Rainbow is aesthetically pleasing and would be a great spot to sit and enjoy a drink and/or treat while you finish up work. I would highly recommend trying this place out!“

“I had some kind of chocolate nutella cake and it was amazing! The seating was comfortable and the iced coffee was good. The service was great! I will be going again ❤️ I do wish they had lactose free milk but they did have several dairy free options.“

“Overall - a wonderful bakery. Highlights include the white sourdough (Fremont), croissants, and beignets. The homemade hazelnut spread is also to die for. Service is generally warm and the dog friendliness is certainly a bonus.There are however a few mediocre items that could use some improvement — some of the loaves are mealy tasting (esp the whole wheat sourdough) and some of the pastries are lacklustre (I find this especially with the tarts, like the blueberry tart).“

“Came with my love and was like why are we dropping mad coin on food and stumbled on this spot. I wasn’t looking for “good service” but good food that was affordable and they delivered. Had a poutine and fish and chips. Fries were golden. And filled us up. If quicker buy Summits Poutine over Smokey’s Poutine. Support local and mom and pop shops all day, every day. Come young and young at heart.“

“We went for coffee and dessert at Café Lunette, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the dessert and bread. As a French person it was really good to find the servers from my country here.The only downside I would say is the quantity which is a little low in their dessert and on the baguette for the price but in any case the taste was there. I recommend.“

“Oh, god love you, Alter Egos. Worst coffee in town, but I still go there pretty often. It's a community, it's a meeting place, it's a perch. Bobby hangs out there, so it's automatically a g.o.a.t. establishment and ally. Honestly if they figured out how to use the espresso machine it would kill the vibe. Never change, Alters.“

“Nour's Cafe and grill was recommended to me as i was in the area. And i was not disappointed. Friendly service. They have a speaker set up to hear each other properly. I got Nour's bagel (jalapeño and cheese) with egg, lettuce tomato. It was cut in half (didn't even ask for it ) tasty, grilled, and still warm. And bc i was still hungry, i got a small portion of their fries. MIAM! The spice they put on the fries are amazing. It adds more flavor. I would just decrease the amount of salt. The spices are enough, in my opinion. The portion was quite generous for small size.The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is the salt, and limited payment options: debit or cash.It was a positive experience overall. Thank you!“

“This cafe is located is a great spot, right on the water. They have a nice sitting area outside. Nice and cozy inside.We love all their drinks, especially the cappuccinos. I haven't found any of their baked goods I like. Their food to go looks good and would love to try it.“

“Can I give 10 stars for each category?This place felt like home. Chris, Hailey and the others are amazing hosts and ensure you are taken care of.The coffee and conversation is worth coming back for over and over. Can't wait to come back next time I'm here.“

“They have catered a couple of small events for us now and both times we’ve gotten rave reviews about the food! Super friendly and accommodating and everything we’ve tried has been delicious. They are definitely my new go-to for our on-site events.“

“I have been here twice once in bedford which was the best experience. lovely service. went to sackville location and it was aweful. we ate in and it was given to us in a box with two plastic forks. the lady also said we close in 20min. she then walked away. we ate our cheesecake the lady was out back the whole time. we got up and she still did not come out. the cheesecake also still had the pieces of paper on either side of it. she just flopped into a box. I can't imagine the owner would be impressed as she served myself and my friend in bedford with class and professionalism. hopefully she sees how her staff are here in sackville.“

“Very popular on weekends. Indoor and outdoor seatings are available. Sandwiches and quiches are pre-prepared and displayed in the glass case. They are all good except for the pricing being s bit too high. Love the half self-service concept but the price should reflect on it and the casual atmosphere for which people come and be more affordable. It was over $40 for a coffee, lunch sandwich, and a sweet to share for two.“

“Definitely recommend checking out Cabin Coffee! The aesthetic inside is really unique and makes you feel like you're in a cozy cabin. I came early in the morning for the breakfast bun combo (sandwich and coffee for just under $9) The breakfast bun was really good - definitely made with more fresh ingredients than McDonald's or Tim's. Unfortunately didn't have time to sit inside, but would love to the next time I'm in Halifax because the inside is beautiful.“

“When we arrived they only had plain gutter croissants or chocolate croissants so we tried the normal ones. They were nice, it’s close to what croissants taste in France, although it’s very difficult to replicate them. I still recommend this place.Staff was very nice but the atmosphere was a bit cold in my opinion“

“I went to meet a friend and I wasn't really expecting to like the food because I'm very picky but I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the seafood olio and it was awesome. I loved it with the garlic bread they served with it. Also, the service was amazing. We were provided with everything we needed and left satisfied and we were even helped to take pictures when we asked so superb!Parking: You can park on the street although you have to walk a few bit to get to the restaurant“

“Friendly staff with lots of options (some of which are glitter and rainbow colors in your espresso beverages!) Prices are decent and they've got the option to buy a coffee and pay it forward for someone who may not have the funds. Very inclusive and welcoming space. Thanks, GB team!“

“This is my go-to spot when I’m looking to stock up on some tasty homemade frozen meals or give a gift of meals to a new parent or friend in need! Food is delicious. We especially love the seafood pie and butter chicken. Staff always friendly and helpful!“

“Great service and nice atmosphere. I ordered a mochachino with a blueberry loaf cake. The cake was delicious and the coffee was good as well. The store was quite spacious with lots of sitting area. A nice spot to hang out with friends and enjoying “

“I recently moved back into the area and was hoping to have brunch here every weekend. I had the Madurito breakfast which was a wonderful treat. The flavours were exotic and well balanced and I left quite satisfied. The breakfast came to $30.00 including tip. After searching online, I found this was almost double the price of any breakfast in Halifax. Wonderful food, but keep in mind you are paying for inflated food costs and for specialty ingredients. Not affordable on my budget, unfortunately.“
