Another cog in the Bertossi Group chain of restaurants. On a busy corner of Spring Garden and…read moreQueen Street this place is always full! On Summer days they have nice outdoor seating and a gelato cart. Unique location that is round with wrap around windows with seating. Great for people watching. I find the best things are the pastries. They also have sandwiches, paninis and a small menu of hot goods (quiche, lasagna) On the pricier end but worth it for the high quality.

Love this place! It was crowded, but my husband and I managed to find 2 seatings along the window…read morecounter table. They have beautiful pastries, delicious looking sandwiches, and assortment of coffee drinks. We got 2 desserts, cappuccino, and Americano. Desserts were not too sweet and delicious, and the drinks were made well. The service is also lovely, helpful, and friendly. Would love to come back here when we come back to Halifax!

Honestly this spot was one of the highlights of my time in Halifax. Hubby and I stopped here on a…read moreMonday morning just after 11am. We ordered coffee (americano and caffe latte) and some pastries (chocolate caneli, butter croissant, and two macaroons). The owner was friendly and efficient in serving his customers in such a small place. He was the only one working! The food was amazing and the coffee was strong and delicious.

If you prefer more of a shattering crackle croissant, LF Bakery is slightly further away but has longer hours, more croissants, and a divine sweet brioche. They're clearly #1 and #2 in Halifax for a reason. Happy eating!

Nice relaxing music in the background. Definitely a place to return to. Probably very busy during the Saturday farmers market!!

There's a lot of options for coffee when I'm at work on the waterfront, but Terra Cafe in the…read moreBrewery Market has quickly become one of my favourites. The coffee (I'm always getting their medium roast drip, black), is top notch with quality beans from local roasters or big names from further afield. Their food menu isn't huge, but they've got a handful of breakfast sandwiches (bonus points for the all day breakfast!), with a few other lunch options. I've gotten their standard breakfast sandwich a couple times now, and I don't need a Magic 8-Ball to tell me that it's also in my future! A fluffy egg comes topped with fresh lettuce and tomato, a slice of real cheddar, your choice of a maple or garlic aioli, as well as either bacon or avocado. The challah bun steals the show though, with its signature egg-iness, lightly crisp crust and a soft but supple crumb that supported the goodness within. I recently pulled myself away from this breakfast banger to try out one of their lunch sandwiches, the Italian cold cut. A few types of salami come between a delightfully airy focaccia, with your choice of cheese (Swiss for me) and flavoured mayo (garlic). Pickled red onion brightened things up with a lightly tart bite and paired well with the sweet and tangy red vinaigrette. It was a lunchtime classis that got punched up with quality components. The southern ends of Barrington/Hollis/Lower Water are chock full of caffeine slingers, but Terra Cafe checks all the boxes with its atmosphere, food and drinks.

Such a cool, funky coffee shop. It's basically a coffee shop in a record store. You walk in and…read moreimmediately you are enveloped by the nice analog and mellow sound of vinyl playing on a vacuum tube amplified record player. There's a certain Asian flare to the interior - there was incense burning for a period of time while I was there. Have coffee and espresso based drinks. Beans ground on the spot - from their Toronto roaster (this is the only Rooms Coffee outside of Toronto) All kinda of nooks and crannnies to sit in. Went on a weekday so not terribly busy. Super chill. Love the vibe. No other coffee shop like it in Halifax!!!

We had a nice wine along with a Caesar salad and Mussels. The Caesar had bacon in it which was unexpected. It was nice @ the mussels were good. Overall our experience was good.

We had a very disappointing experience at this coffee shop. After waiting in line to place our…read moreorder, the employee at the register completely overlooked us and proceeded to take the order of a customer standing behind us. Once we finally placed our coffee order and started ordering food, we were asked to take a seat. We were told that our coffee would be brought to the table and that someone would come by to take our food order. Unfortunately, neither happened. We waited for 15-20 minutes without receiving our coffee, and no one came to take our food order. Our children became increasingly upset because they were very hungry. Despite several staff members being aware of our presence, no one checked on us or provided any updates. Eventually, we decided to leave. As we walked out, the staff simply watched us leave without any acknowledgment, apology, or attempt to address the situation. It felt as though they had little regard for customer service or the overall customer experience. We left frustrated, disappointed, and unlikely to return.
