Had an affogato along with a lemon square. Pretty tasty. Fairly priced. There is free wifi if you want to get some work done.

In season, the patio is probably my favourite space in the whole city. They offer a loyalty programme with a card you can have stamped every visit, with a free coffee for something like 20 visits. Generally I call in prior to a regular lunch at Hamachi Kita a short walk down the road, so I haven't eater there often, but if you go there a little peckish, you will find all you could want. Thoroughly recommended.

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!

We also tried the Cheddar onion and chocolate pistachio scones. Cheddar one was 10/10 very good. Chocolate pistachio one was just not as good - not as moist, not as flavorful. Lots of other super tasty looking baked goods here as well. Lots of dine-in tables. 2 single-person gender neutral bathrooms.

No idea why this place received such bad reviews from some people because it was lovely! The bakery…read moreis situated near the waterfront and serves cakes by the slice, cookies and various coffee products. You can also order customized cakes which I did. I ordered an 8-inch red velvet cake for $58 before tax and while I thought it was a little pricey at first, the cake is well-made and very tall. I was told that it'll be good for 8 people but my boyfriend and I just shared one-eighth of it and it was just the right amount. The cream cheese is light and airy and the cake isn't overly sweet or cloying. I'll definitely return to try their other cakes!

Let me preamble (like how I used that) this review in that I have loved this shop for years. I…read morehave driven out to their old storefront plenty of times to taste their wares. My husband (who asks for nothing), only wanted them to do our wedding cake. Full Stop. No discussion. I have yet, and I mean yet, pass their new storefront at the market and not buy something. I have tried every... single... one... of their individual desserts. Never a bad one, just varying levels of bliss. Their hot chocolate and cocoa packaged to take home is excellent for drinking and baking (tested faithfully and often by yours truly). Chocolates are awesome with original and sometimes surprising fillings. And their chocolate drink honestly makes me wiggle with happiness. Reminds me of hot chocolate I used to drink in Paris. Their is artistry in their work. Almost makes you want to not mar the beauty..... Phfft, who am I kidding. Try them... You'll see. And thank me later.

The best part is their extremely reasonable pricing!!! Even with the overall increase in food pricing they have not changed very much over the years.

The chocolate truffles are rich, flavorful, and silky smooth. The peanut butter truffles were the best I've had. Today I went back for cupcakes and a slice of cheesecake. Both knocked it out of the park. Prices are in-line with other bakeries but quality and serving sizes can't be beat. The owner is a truly lovely person- this is definitely a business to support!
