    Tasty breakfast items. Got here not long after their opening and fresh muffins were being taken out of the oven. Iced latte was great and there were several sugar free flavors available. Comfy chairs for hanging out and a few tables if you are eating in.

    Such a cute little stop on our visit to Halifax via the cruise terminal. We stopped by for a coffee to warm up and quick treat, but I was delighted by the easy to read menu, pleasant and patient staff, and great selection of savory and sweet treats. The seating is limited in this quaint shop, but comfortable if you need to post up for a study session or work meeting. They offer milk alternatives and vegetarian options.

    This alone should make you want to eat here!

    If you want a great cafe, come here. What separates coffee shops? The Staff........You would find it hard to find a place where you are more welcomed. Wonderful breakfast wraps and wide selection of bakery sweets for those that like to be sweet.

    a busy city street

    Nice small corner shop. Baked goods. Lots of coffee and teas to choose from. Coffee expresso roast not the best I've ever had, but okay in a somewhat bitter way. Loved the staff & customers, tho. Busy place.

    Thai chicken soup and sandwich combo, with a cappuccino and London fog

    Amazing sandwiches and coffee! Came here for a quick lunch and I was not disappointed. They have a really unique selection of drinks that make them stand out from the other cafés in Halifax.

    Cappuccino!

    Great spot for working - went twice in one day ! Also would be great if you had to hold a small meeting - they have a great space downstairs - quiet and neat atmosphere - cool furniture tables and outlets to charge from . The cakes were great and a nice variety of lattes too! Lots of coffee places to choose from in a small area but Will come back here again !

    Really enjoyed this place. During our visit we would go here for great espresso and lattes. Their bagels and wraps were also very good, and everything is reasonably priced. Highly recommend if you're in the area or if you're heading towards he seaport farmers market or garrison brewery, which are relatively close by.

    catchy looking artwork, I looked at a few times.

    Halifax has a lot of charming cozy cafes to go to. All of them offer the perfect coffee to start your morning right, and the Wired Monk gave me another satisfying brew on my second last day in the city. The most relaxing area of the cafe is the fireplace in the back with nifty artwork displayed above it.

    Looking back, I have no idea why I punked out on giving the Wired Monk a five-star review. I love this place. If I could afford to, I'd make it my permanent office but alas, the lattés and sandwiches add up...but just for fun, let's take this idyllic office space star by star: 1) Free and reliable wireless: Yup. Not one, but TWO wireless signals for your surfing pleasure. I've never, ever had a problem getting connected nor have I been unceremoniously booted, throwing my entire existence into chaos because WHAT AM I if not for the internet? 2) Tasteful and notably unnanoying café music: I've heard user-friendly folk, smooth jazz without bordering on nineties soap theme songs, and even some kickier tunes that get me groovin' through the afternoon. 3) Great lattés: I don't drink coffee so I'll be damned if I know what that's like here, but their Butterscotch Lattés have a sick hold on me. Their balance of sweet to contrast the espresso is delightful without getting too syrupy or tasting like sugared milk. 4) Friendly service: From the lovely lady who runs the place (who just helped me with the front door because at 8am I can't operate simple door knobs apparently), to the cute hipsters who work the late shift, I just love these people. They're nice, helpful, interactive, and seem like they like their jobs. 5) Fresh-made food: With an oven in behind the counter, there are always cookies, cinnamon buns, Morning Glory muffins with egg, and tons more being stocked fresh on the shelves. Their lunches are just as lovely-hearty but healthy to keep you fueled without the post-lunch digestion coma. *Bonus star for abundant seating. With two full floors, there's no need to be a creepy table lurker. Oh come on...you know you've done it. **Also, I give a bonus star for the fact that they have nice, clean, homey washrooms that are well-maintained. When you're looking to bunker down for a couple hours, it's just another way of making you feel more comfortable-like you're working at a friend's place! ***Also also...they have booze. You know, for celebrating when you get the job done. Or to drown your sorrows when the deadline passes. Your choice.

    Yummy cappuccino and desert squares. London fog left something to be desired and the lack of music made for a very weird atmosphere.
