The 31 best bread shops in Halifax

I usually carry my own ceramic or glass tumbler because I care about the environment and my health. When I ordered, I said I wanted my bread to go, but my coffee and tea to stay. However, the same male staff member with tied dark-blond hair who both took my order and made the drinks had already poured my drinks into disposable paper cups. At first, I thought those drinks weren’t mine, but they turned out to be. When I asked for mugs, he transferred the drinks from the paper cups into them. By that time, the paper cups had already become waste, and my hot coffee and tea had already been sitting in those paper cups long enough for chemicals to leach out. I normally carry a ceramic or glass tumbler and request “to stay” to avoid disposable waste and exposure to harmful substances, so this situation was utterly absurd and frustrating. I wasn’t expecting anything fancy like latte art. I just wanted to start my morning pleasantly with good coffee, but this experience left me really disappointed. If you visit this café, I recommend getting service from the other male staff member, the one with short(he is always kind), dark hair or women, not the one with tied dark blond hair.

An amazing spot, make incredible by its PHENOMENAL food. Truly the BEST sourdough and BEST croissant I’ve ever had. The only downside is the irregular hours: it seems like they close early often, because I’ve shown up twice before during “regular” hours and the shop was closed. But this makes it even more exciting when you can get here because it’s that much more special. Recommend ten times over!

Nice place to have breakfast. We tried the almond croissant and the ham and cheese croissant. The almond croissant was a little overbaked. Other than that, everything else was good.

Oh LF, I love you so. Please come to Dartmouth. Fresh bread, good coffee, huge rotating selection of treats. You need a home in Dartmouth. This place is Loud, but I think you have to be cognizant that this is a working bakery. Please help us. They’re not usually open on Mondays and they usually take a week off around Christmas and summer, which is well deserved. I’ve never had the sandwiches, but looking at the display case for 10-12 bucks look unreal. Lots of marginalized people in the area, usually try buy something extra to give somebody on the way out. Kindness counts.

Nice little bakery cafe. The bakery seems very busy! We got a loaf of white bread, which was fresh and had great texture, but was missing something (maybe salt?). We also had coffees and treats while we were there. Excellent Americano and a very good croissant. Will go back to try more baked goods.

The cardamom iced latte was good but the blueberry tart was underwhelming & the vanilla custard wasn’t flaky it was soggy and the custard had an egg taste that we didn’t enjoy.

Easily one of the best bakeries in Atlantic Canada. Definitely top three, I haven't been everywhere so I can't rule out some dark horse from some random corner, but these guys are top notch. Croissant is good as you'll get in Paris, and I've been there and done that! Get up early and get down there for when they open at 7:30 and the smell of fresh baked baguettes and other deliciousness will transport you to heaven!

My husband and I eloped in Germany in the fall, so for our little wedding celebration with friends and family this past weekend my mom ordered a bunch of pretzels to give to everyone. They reminded us so much of our trip! So yummy and beautiful! We ordered cookies too and they were absolutely beautiful, everything was delicious ! Awesome customer service too, we would definitely order from them and will have to pop in for a pretzel! 🥨

Today is my friend’s birthday and I planned to get a pumpkin pie for her. Only it has to be from Gingerbread Haus. Six years ago, my first autumn in Canada, I randomly walked into Gingerbread Haus. Didn’t know what to pick, I chose to try the seasonal special, the pumpkin pie with whipped cream. It was amazing, so unforgettable. The next time I walked in the shop. Sorry, the pumpkin pie was SOLD OUT. Just like this, year after year, when it was in season, they sold out quickly; when it was not in season, no pumpkin pies. Maybe you can give it a try on Easter. I was told so. I tried. No Easter pumpkin pies. The bakeries were so good and business went so well that making pumpkin pies on Easter was not possible. Luckily I stayed all these years in the same neighborhood and still have friends living nearby. After another random but magic afternoon walk, I pulled open the shop door and found the pumpkin pies available again. Yes, this year we have the luck to enjoy another Gingerbread Haus pumpkin pie. Tastes like the best part of life.

Outstanding! I had been disappointed by several “bakeries” along the Cabot Trail. They left me wanting baked goods when we got back in Halifax. And the Gingerbread Haus delivered! What an amazing selection they had. After our first visit, we immediately returned for more. I had the almond ring on our walk through the Point Pleasant park and it held up the whole way. See the pics for prices and products. Service was pleasant. Staff behind the counter could describe each item in detail. The only downside was that they aren’t open until 9am. Well worth the wait. You must visit this bakery if you are in the area!

In last few years store became worse and worse... I did love that store, and I remember when you guys got open, and my family always was customers for cakes there, even few times we had coffee in, not to go. But last few times I got not fresh slice of cake, and not fresh full cake. With memories, that mistakes could happened and everyone deserve second chance, I start to visit not that often. But last time on Thursday July 10th I came to buy Rum bowls for a family gathering, first for so little desert price jump high from last time I bought it. and when I bought 5 of them, each cost $4.05, with tax I spend more than $23. and cashier did put them in small brown bag! when you selling desert for $4+ and its few of them, you serving it like piece of garbage or leftovers in brown bag. No, I'm not coming back. To sell old deserts, and after treat customers like a garbage after giving you another chance... this place not for me!

A simple bakery with delicious baked goods. Service was friendly, helpful and patient. Selection was excellent even when I came near the end of their day, and everything was amazing. Got Almond Wheels, Mozart's, Gingerbread People, Nougat Wheel, and Lemon Shortbread. All were fantastic! Will be back!

Lovely little bakery serving wonderful European bakes. The gingerbread was perfectly spiced with just the right balance of flavours and the texture was spot on. A great range of bakes at very reasonable prices.

I barely consume sweet goods, almost never, because my senses of taste and smell are too strong and sugar bothers me but when I first got to know of the Gingerbread Haus nearby I realized they are Erupoean-style professionals. By far different from what I've experienced in the North America. Their products are not saturated with sugar. The sour dough breads, the cream on the cakes and the ratio of the ingridients are phenomenal. I have promised myself not to buy any cakes unless I purchase them here. Their products are indeed pricy when compared to the mass production items in the chainstores but you enjoy and live longer :) They close soon, plan and pre-order so you won't have to choose the low quality sweets for your events.

I ordered 2 dozen cupcakes for a mini wedding celebration and they were such a hit! They are so cute and every flavour was delicious. I had accidentally entered the wrong date on my order but they whipped it together really quick for me and were so kind about the mistake, really great service. I would absolutely recommend! The crowd favourite was a feature, Banana cream pie, the best cupcake I’ve ever had ☺️.

Phenomenol cupcakes! I had ordered the salted caramel, oreo, and I believe a cinnamonish cupcake? They were so delicious! The salted caramel was my favourite (and I'm someone who's not the biggest fan of caramel). The frosting was so light and fluffy and the cupcake base was so moist. I need to come back again and grab more flavours to try!

Layers is the perfect place to get a sweet treat! Their cupcakes are perfectly created - fluffy, not too sweet and the perfect ratio of cake to frosting. They also always have new creative flavours to try! The staff is super friendly and helpful. If you’re going for a specific flavour, I recommend going early as they sell out quickly!

Got cupcakes for a birthday party. Jen is really friendly and helpful. The cupcakes were delicious. Such a wonderful variety of flavours and very pretty !

My long distance friends got a box of THE most delicious cupcakes sent to my place for my birthday last year. Ever since then I’ve been trying to get invited to a birthday party so I can share the joy of these delicious treats. Put in a phone order for delivery the same day, driver was running late but then I was surprised with an extra half dozen cupcakes!! Incredible service and incredible cupcakes!

This beautiful business is not just any business, this is an exceptional experience to be had by one and all! From the moment I walked in to this cozy shop I knew this would become a favorite happy place for me! The aroma of freshly baked cake combined with the warm, friendly atmosphere, brought me back to a similar feeling of my Mom's beautiful kitchen! I've ordered various cupcakes on different occasions for friends and family, and recently ordered The Chocolate Chocolate Cake for my boyfriend's birthday celebration! These cupcakes are by far, THE MOST DELECTABLE cupcakes we have ever tasted...and The Chocolate Chocolate Cake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I can't express enough just how scrumptious their recipes really are! This batter recipe Layers uses is not too sweet, but just perfectly sweet enough when combined with the smoothest, dreamiest icing that I have ever tasted! The people in this company are not only cheerful, friendly and kind, but they are true professionals who know their stuff! These people really know how to welcome you and make you want to return again and again for their special product and genuine kindness! I have always had wonderful service and the best treats to share, thanks to all of you at Layers Cupcakes!

We decided last minute to get a wedding cake and cupcakes for our wedding. Layers was super helpful with deciding what to order and fulfilling our order perfectly we only a few weeks notice. We ended up ordering a small wedding cake and mini cupcakes for our guests which worked out perfect. I would definitely recommend doing mini cupcakes instead of the full size cupcakes as they are much more approachable especially after a large dinner. Layers doesn’t do custom wedding cakes but that wasn’t important to us so it worked out well.

I discovered Birdies Bread & Co. today by chance and I’m so glad I did! It’s such a beautiful shop. I bought a loaf of bread, a pain au chocolat, and an almond croissant, everything was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care. The service was excellent as well. I’m not sure if they also serve drinks or coffee, but I’ll definitely be going back to find out! :)

Celebrating our volunteer teams for a week, we looked for locally owned businesses to purchase treats from. Birdies was a recommendation from another business, and was such an excellent team to work with - had lots of great ideas, and they put together some great assorted boxes. The oatmeal cookies with orange buttercream are unbelievably delicious - a must try item if you ask me. I also purchased a loaf of sourdough bread and it was the best we've had in HRM. My boss was able to have some too as they don't use yeast in their sourdough. So so fresh and delicious. Will be back and highly recommend. I also love that they sell other items from local makers in the store. That's what community is all about!

The vegan buckwheat brownie was sinfully (my husband’s word) delicious! I shared it with my husband but in hindsight I wished I had not been so generous!

just got home with a loaf of the currant and coriander sourdough and a pot of the cranberry curd and all i have to say is drooooooool. i am in heaven! so so so sooo good! i grabbed some local mushrooms and coffee too. love this place, highly recommend!

Inside looks amazing. Clean and tidy. Staff were lovely. Pastries wasn't the best in the city. Cookie was good but not great. Chocolate croissant don't think their chocolate work well with the croissant. It just didn't tasted good. Country style bread was actually good. There's an after taste but I like it that way. So overall, a good place and decent prices.

What a beautiful little store! When I walked in I was blown away. It’s simply decorated with natural elements. They have a few comfortable tables to have your lunch or coffee and a sweet. But most importantly... their product is delicious! I grabbed a loaf of their ‘plain’ sourdough (maybe it’s called farmers? I can’t remember in the 20 minutes since I grabbed it!) The crust is perfectly crunchy and the inside is soft and moist. The Italian vegetable soup is flavourful and filling. It’s full of chunky pieces of Zucchini, beans, carrots, etc. It is very homemade (in a good way!) I’ll be back! The suggestion that I can offer to the delightful owners is to make sandwiches to showcase your amazing bread (even if it’s a daily selection like your soup).

Birdies is so great, all their baked good are amazing, it’s unfortunate that they are closed on Sunday’s and not open until 9 on other days, the only day we are able to go is Saturdays, and we live in the neighborhood! I hope they change their ours!

Went for breakfast and the pastry was cold. The staffs seemed just busy that they didn’t make little effort of heating up a cold egg puff. Also had a cupcake which was dry and stale. Though I like their loaf, it is overpriced pastry and overrated place.

Visited their new location in Brewery Market recently. The decor was funky and relaxed and although the selection was small, the pastries were unbelievable! Service was friendly too. Looking forward to going again soon.

As I walked to work everyday, I slowly watched as this place became an empty husk of a venue to the brilliant bakery it is today. I've never had a dessert there I didn't like (even some that I was reluctant to try). The staff was always friendly. Their burger week special was an excellent out-of-the-box idea and was worth its price.

Went here for some breakfast food and coffee and found that everything was way overpriced. I didn't think the food was amazing - it was ok, but definitely not worth what they're charging. Also if you're average male height or above make sure to duck under the lighting fixture they have in the washroom.

Pleasant service. Amazing baked goods. Would recommend the donuts if you want to try something unique and amazing. They also sell travel mugs, ceramic coffee filters, and locally made tea and coffee. Can occasionally get crowded by popular demand. But that is no fault of the store, other than being so good.

While set in a dated decor, the old apothecary offers an amazing Cinnamon Bun. A bit undercooked for my taste but still very much decadent. Perfect to finish your week with your favorite cup of coffee

First saw this bakery on the Food network show; Baking Sisters (I think it's called). So while in Halifax, I had to check it out. The aroma of their bread is intoxicating! If it wasn't for us staying in a hotel (and doing no meals in room) I would have tried their breads. It was hard not to buy! We were too late for croissants or cinnamon buns. I'm betting they sell out fast. But the lemon tart we had was wonderful! Also, (not pictured) we tried a mini orange cake with mascarpone icing, which was also yummy. My next visit to Halifax, will include another stop here. And next time I'm coming for bread!

Nice little bakery, tucked in and out of the way. Good selection of baked goods. Mainly breads, muffins and specialty muffins and desserts. Fairly priced, we had muffins and cinnamon buns. Tasted good. Reasonably priced, bread and english muffins are pricy and small portions. Really liked their muffins. Staff is friendly and serve you really quickly.

I recently returned from a trip to Nova Scotia and brought back five different kinds of cakes from the coast. Sharing them with friends, some former East coasters, 24 Carrot oatcakes were the clear fan favorite, more than holding their own against the finest oat cakes from Cape Breton. They are cross between the more austere CB style and some of the thicker, decadent mainland versions. A perfect balance it appears. They were so well loved by a friend’s Colombian girlfriend that she took the balance of his chocolate dipped oak cakes back to Bogota. Thanks to the staff at the bakery for setting me up for success! Ps. I also purchased chocolate macaroons which proved to be a perfect energy boost during the long drive back to Upper Canada.

What did you change in your oatcakes? They used to be crispy and tasty; now they're SOGGY and BLAND. I'm never buying them again and they were my favourite. I'll bet you cheaped out on the butter.....

Ordered some cupcakes online (via email) for a special occasion. Kat was wonderful to deal with! Cupcakes were delicious as always and service is fantastic.

This is my go to bakery for all my needs. I have order so many cakes, cookie, muffins and more and have never been disappointed! The staff are absolutely amazing! 😀

My first experience was great fresh and looked great display was full and service was awesome. But today June 22 .2.10 my child and I felt rushed my daughter 5 years old was excited and didn't know what she really wanted to try she then decided on two cupcakes. After the person served it she said anything else I said yes I would like to have a date square. Again (anything else I said yes my girlfriend wants something as well..she pick and then and anything else. I asked about the pies and the person walked aways from me as I was talking to her ..I could not even hear what she was saying. I asked again and it seemed like she got upset because she had to repeat herself. Not returning to this place again ..

Ordered vanilla birthday cake for my toddler’s birthday.it was so delicious and looked amazing too. Service is good. They would answer all your questions instantly. The cake was ready on time as promised.

I stopped by Two if By Sea cafe, and while it was a hip spot, I left feeling somewhat underwhelmed. The cafe itself is trendy, but seating is limited, so be prepared to grab-and-go. I ordered an iced matcha latte, but unfortunately, it didn't blow me away. The flavor was just average, and I've had better matcha lattes elsewhere. On the bright side, the croissants were a highlight! They're huge and flaky, and the almond croissant was perfect for me since it wasn't too sweet. However, I have to say that the plain croissant didn't impress me as much - I've had better ones from Costco (and you can't beat the value there!). The Nutella and raspberry danish were just okay - nothing special. Overall, I'd say Two if By Sea cafe is a solid choice if you're in the area, but it's not necessarily a destination worth seeking out.

A really nice cafe, got there just when they were bringing out their fresh batch of pastries and man they are huge. The provolone croissant was bigger than my hand and the chocolate croissant was also very large. Loved the outside seating and their food and ambience.

🛑 BEST CROISSANTS IN CANADA! 🛑 if you are visiting Halifax do yourself a favour and cross the bridge into Dartmouth and go try these croissants! Best you’ll ever had! Won’t regret the trip over! You’re going to want to go back to visit Halifax only for these croissants! Don’t forget to pair them with a Cafe Moca, they’re great as well! Hint, go early! By 1:00 pm or so, they could sold out!

We really enjoyed the coffee and the numerous varieties of pastries. We had the pain au chocolat and a everything croissant, and it was delicious. The vibe was also very nice, we sat upstairs with all the paper plates with art on them, we had a good time looking at the drawings! The americano is great, will go again!

Not really sure what the hype is about. The croissants are too dense, the flavor is good but croissants are supposed to be light and flaky. These were far from it. We have tried the prosciutto cheese one and almond croissant. Wouldn't purchase again but their coffee was good and people nice. Also, there is pizza place upstairs - definitely recommend it

You will not find better croissants. The problem is choosing which one. The pain au chocolat is deliciously and generously filled with milk chocolate. The Everything Bagel flavored croissant is amazing as well, filled with cream cheese. This time around I had the special, which was a pumpkin cheesecake croissant. A bit sweet, but oh so good. The seating isn't super comfortable, but if you can snag a table by the open window it's nice. Very busy spot.

Such a cool little spot. Coffee was fantastic, staff was so friendly. Hands down the best chocolate croissant I’ve ever had. Definitely adding to our fav world coffee list!

Excellent authentic French pastries in a very cozy atmosphere and very close to our hotel (Sutton Place)!

Very cute little cafe with few seating upstairs. The menu selection is small with pastries made fresh daily and different items on different days of the week. The croissant is very good and is layers upon layers of crispy flakiness. Much more dense than I've ever had elsewhere, where most of it is air. Would recommend.

This little place is great. Good cappuccino and the croissants super flaky and nice. Been a long time since I had a croissant that deserved the name. The canélé are awesome too.

Wonderful little find near the Convention Centre. Real French feel…great coffees and eats. The canelé came warmed and had a beautiful soft centre. Macaroons are well priced and made in the Parisian style - delicious. Croissant delicious. Good value..

Stumbled into this little place by accident but immediately fell in love. Very quaint space, beautiful & delicious desserts! Pain au chocolat was perfect - not too much and not too sweet. Croissant dough is buttery light and flaky! I did enjoy my London Fog but my husband said his coffee wasn't very good. I will absolutely return to try more sweets!

This is such a cute little cafe. I had a latte and mocha which were both really good. I also had a vanilla and chocolate caneles which were not that good, didn’t taste like it was made fresh. The barista was really nice and the seating area was colourful.

To be honest, one of my favorite places to go, location is very good in the heart of the city, the old building added value where I felt the history when I was there. The patisseries are unique, French and delicious. Even you can't find them anywhere. I like the girl work over there she is welcoming, smiley face and friendly (I thought she is the owner). Layout, I like the layout and decorations. Prices are ($$), but worth it.p Working hours, I found they close very early, sometime we like to have coffee after 5pm, specially the business in the heart of the city Conclusion, really you should visit, and test macarons, they are frech. Well done

Today I had fish and chips for the first time in about 8 years, and it was delicious. My husband, a happy gluten eater had it as well, and agreed it was some of the best fish and chips he's ever had, gluten free or not.

On the advice of a friend we stopped in here and we were not disappointed. The location is tiny and super busy, the staff are friendly and really helpful. As this is a gluten free spot they gave us tips on some of the products and reheating the items we were taking home. We were a bit late to try the cinnamon rolls (which was what brought us in)so we’ll be back for those. The pizza crust, cookies and danish we bought were great.

Always great service. Super polite. Food is A1! Amazing! You wouldn't know it was certified gluten free other than the signage and name of the place indicating it is.

The best seafood we’ve ever had. The lemon tart was also incredible! Love everything about this place and we are so glad we visited.

A very cool concept for a cafe. Certainly highlights the importance for inclusiveness in such restricted diets. They have a large selection of baked goods to choose from which was really great to see. They were all helpfully labelled to indicate if they were dairy free or gluten free. I would recommend this cafe for anyone who has the dietary needs. My only gripe is that there is a lack of pricing on each item. Overall the staff were friendly and service was 👍

Today is my first time here and I'm super impressed! I've only been eating gluten free for a few weeks and this was an absolute treat! I got a chicken burger and onion rings. They were better than any fast food place I've been before finding out I'm celiac! I can't wait to come back and try more things!

As someone who has been gluten-free for years, I understand the feeling of going to a restaurant and searching for what you can eat instead of what you want to eat. Odell's is a safe space for the gluten-free community where you don't need to worry about cross-contamination. There bakery items are unique and worth the cost. Their restaurant items are fairly priced provide diverse menu options. The staff is excellent and is always willing to answer any questions and provide outstanding service. 10/10 recommend you visit!

Bliss Caffeine Bar has super delicious, fresh, high-quality food and the drinks are delicious (whether you are looking for a caesar, latte, or matcha)! The atmosphere is super cute and you can dine in or pick up a coffee and a pastry to go! I definitely recommend you go there for your next brunch date!😋🥂🥞

Arrived early enough to get in without a reservation (which is recommended as this place is always busy). Heard great things and was not disappointed. The Breakfast Tacos were delicious, the refried beans ( we got them on the side) were spicy and delicious. Green sauce was a nice touch. The potatoes were my favorite part, absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. Great service. Great coffee and lots of amazing pastries also.

What a pleasant surprise! We didn’t expect much when we stopped by, but the food was honestly 10/10 — absolutely delicious. Service was quick and super accommodating; they even split one of our meals into two kids’ portions without hesitation, which we really appreciated. The iced latte was excellent, the smoothie was fresh and tasty, and our meals were just outstanding. Such a gem in Halifax — we’ll definitely be back!

Great brunch spot! 🌟 Cozy vibe, friendly staff, fresh and tasty food, and really good coffee. Perfect place to relax or meet friends. Definitely recommend!

A gem in Halifax! Wonderful, beautiful, and delicious café. I was here for a business trip, and came every day just because it was that amazing! Service was attentive and friendly. The chicken sandwich with the potatoes was succulent. Best I have had in a while. *chef’s kiss* The passionfruit parfait was also delicious and refreshing. I tried their tomato and garlic focaccia as well as their blueberry lemon scone, and again, didn’t disappoint. 100% recommended and hope to return in the future.

The food and the service were simply amazing! I ordered the strawberry shortcake waffles and they didn’t disappoint at all. The matcha strawberry was good, but it just could’ve been a little better as I feel they might’ve just added strawberry syrup. Other than that, I highly recommend this place, it wasn’t too loud and the decor was super cute too!

Bliss Caffeine Bar was my favourite spot to visit during our trip to Halifax. I went back twice because the first time wasn’t enough. First time, we got brunch. Getting seated was fast and our server (whose name I unfortunately can’t remember) was really friendly and professional. They were timely with getting our orders and we really appreciated their warm hospitality. I got the Bliss Brekkie, and hands down the best breakfast/brunch dish I’ve had. Perfect portion, seasoned very well, and everything was balanced. I absolutely loved the breakfast sausage and roasted potatoes—I’m drooling just thinking about it! I also got their chocolate chip cookie as a sweet treat, and it was the perfect ending to a great brunch. The second time I went was to snag their donuts and more of the cookies before they were all sold out. I loved the strawberry cheesecake donut—the filling was sooo dreamy. The s’mores-inspired one was also great and I liked how the sweet meringue balanced the chocolate pastry cream. Just a cute spot with really good food and treats. I’ll definitely be coming back if I visit again!

This is a wonderful little hidden gem. We loved the teas, coffees, and pastries. Lots of fresh made products, and no matter what you select, you won't be disappointed. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff.

Nice bakery!! 1. Pastries are amazing. Texture and the balance of taste seem to be the top level in Halifax. However, coffee is just ok which means it is little bit better than Tim Hortons. 2. The vibes of this bakery is pretty good. I recommend the patio. 3. The price is reasonable. I highly recommend here. This bakery must be better than other competitors.

Love this bakery/cafe. Great service from the staff. The ambiance in the cafe is really nice. Great selection of baked goods and types of coffees.

Wonderful place - delicious pastry - warm atmosphere! I usually don't write reviews, but I am a regular customer here, so couldn't miss a chance to leave my review. Atmosphere is absolutely filled with warmness and cheerfulness - wonderful for bold morning coffee as well as cup of tea during the rainy day. Although the service might not be the most personalized, however only because it is partially patisserie shop and cafe, I am truly fascinated with the speed and accuracy of the staff taking great care of such high flow of customers. Not to forget their variety of pastry and bread products - you can always find something for your special moment. Thanks!

Great coffee, huge cafe au lait, tasty croissants, and unique cinnamon buns. The croissant sandwich was tasty but a little expensive at $6.95. The cinnamon bun dough felt similar to the croissant which I found very interesting. Friendly staff, and a very cozy, warm cafe.

Amazing Americano (my wife says the best!) Wonderful desserts and food! Latte tastes great, but needs to be hotter. You can always ask for "extra hot" if you are concerned about that. Love this place and everything about it!!!

I loved this little bakery, big variety of bakery items and sandwiches. Nice coffee and tea options. Quaint inside and a nice small patio outside. The staff was very polite and friendly.

Pane e Circo is such a beautiful spot to enjoy a coffee! With an Italian touch, they serve illy coffee and offer a wide variety of pastries, sandwiches, croissants or paninis, salads, and even gelato. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

I made this my first stop to start my first day in Halifax, and I loved it. Beautiful place with a great atmosphere. I picked up a few sweets, and it was a nice touch that they deliver your coffee right to the table. It’s always those small details that make the experience better. Absolutely superb customer service—and then, just a short walk away, you’re ready to start your day.

Great variety of food and beverages, both high quality and delicious. Service is also outstanding. I took the mushroom panini and I was impressed with the flavor and freshness of it. Plus, the bread was really good. And the matcha latte was just perfect in terms of temperature, sweetness, flavor, everything!

Great place to enjoy coffee and chat with friends in Dt! Here has a great selection of coffee, drinks, baking, and brunch options, and the staff are all friendly and professional. Tried the Pistachio Chocolate Croissant, which was the best pistachio chocolate croissant I've had in Halifax! 😆It was very crowded, so if it's rush hour, you'll have to wait for a table.

Went there with a friend, had two almond croissants with hot coffee latte and cold ice latte. Loved the snacks and enjoyed the environmental buzz filled with family, friends, and old ladies and gents. Loved the cozy wibe. It was a lovely day, people sitting in patio and many inside in much colder place.

This is a lovely place with great drinks and the staff is super helpful and kind! I’ve come here a couple of times now and never really ordered a whole lot of the food items (although they look delicious) but the drinks I have tried are amazing! The fruity drinks taste fresh and you can tell they are made with good quality ingredients rather than a whole bunch of artificial flavours, and the ones I’ve tried haven’t been overly sweet either. It was a great place to sit in on a hot day as the drinks were refreshing and the AC was very much appreciated haha. A little busy but aside from that the place is nice and service/drinks are great! (They also have the cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen which is automatically a 10/10 for me)

Excellent coffee and pastries. I had a cortado, breakfast sandwich and almond croissant. Great coffee and the croissant was so delicious. I saved half for later and it was still very yummy. My friend had a cinnamon bun and also loved it. The place was nice and the fresh tulips in each table gave it a special touch.

I mean, where to begin. First of all the service/people working here are truly warm and lovely. My server gave the best recommendations. My lunch was incredible. Best Ceasar salad I've ever had, hands down. Looking forward to one day coming back and trying the famous dragon fries. 😍

I can't believe that it has taken me this long to discover this incredible plant-based restaurant! It is delicious! We are very fortunate to have a few tasty vegan options in Halifax but nothing comes close to Wild Leek! I can't express how yummy this place is in words! So many options! A must try! 🌿

Nothing but positives. Friendly, attentive staff. Delicious food prepared quickly and served hot. Smoothies made with fresh ingredients. All items fair and reasonably priced. Limited seating during busy times but well worth the few minutes wait. Convenient location with lots of nearby parking. Will definitely dine here again.

I've had a few things here over the past few days I've been in Halifax and I feel pretty good about my decision. I've had the choco-lite smoothie, wild bowl, titanic burrito, elixir juice, carrot cake, mac n cheese, and two different kombuchas (the lavender sage one and the rosehip hibiscus). My favourite things so far were the smoothie, mac n cheese, and dragon sauce. Unfortunately for me and my taste buds I found the burrito kinda of one note ~ I was hoping for more diverse flavours between everything that is in there (a symphony if you will). The carrot cake tasted kind of funny to me... it is hard to describe but I was expecting more cinnamon-carrot and to me it was a bit more clove I guess? I am not sure - I was also not a fan of the whipped topping. The wild bowl was good, and the dragon sauce really helped, but I do think it should come with one more little container as the vegetables and tofu are quite chunky and the rice isn't flavoured ~ so the sauce didn't go a long way and it basically ended up tasting like plain vegetables half way through. They do charge more for extra sauce so yeahhh... For me it would have been better if the veggies and tofu were more bite sized so I could get a bit of everything, instead of taking a big bite of broccoli or kale with some rice or tofu. Or maybe if the tofu was marinated (?longer)... I am sorry I am not trying to dissect the food ~ just wanting to share some feedback. The kombucha was great, local, and just a standard booch. I want to come here again one day (I am from BC) and try other things ~ I want to try the green juice! I love a good pineapple and greens juice :)

Great menu for vegan food lovers. The the wild bowl is delicious with the dragon sauce being the mvp. I only wish it was a bit flavorful. For someone who eats flavorful and spicy food, the one tiny bowl of the sauce is not enough. I asked for extra sauce and was charged for it, which felt a bit unnecessary. I tried the chocolate and banana cupcake which was delicious. I also got their fresh juice (orange, ginger, citrusy one). The dining area is small so it will be crowded during peak hours. The staff is great!! The overall cost for the meal for one was around 50$ including the tip, which felt expensive especially given the small portion sizes.

I have had food here before and it's very good but I bought cupcakes here today and they are incredible. I had to share how delicious they are. The chocolate one is dairy free and it's the best dairy free cupcake I've ever had and one of the best cupcakes I've ever had. The cake is so moist and the frosting is delicious. The strawberry one is incredible and also gluten free. Definitely the best gluten free cake I've had. Good texture and taste. Very impressed!

Really great fresh, well-prepared food. I had the Dragon fries and the Kale Caesar and both were yummy - well-sauced! Was served by Sadie -- she gave great recommendations and was very friendly.

We were looking for a spot with a dog-friendly patio for brunch, and we’re so glad we picked this place! The food and coffee were both great — I just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Found the Almonak as we were going to be in Halifax for the day. Greeted by the coolest “linebacker” ever! Then proceeded with the most fun waiter ever! The meal was spectacular. I don’t say that lightly either. We’ve been on the road for two months (across the US, toured Newfoundland for a month, and just now heading back home to California) and have stopped for breakfast/brunch countless times and this was easily #1. I ordered the Gouda, Bacon, Caramelized Onion Eggs Benedict that came with roasted potatoes and a green salad - YUM! I can’t say enough about this contemporary and innovative cafe, so good. My only tiny issue is that they need some noise dampening medium/fabric to quiet it a bit. I’d return in a heartbeat though if it were closer to California!

Nice place to grab some brunch. The staff were helpful in choosing dishes to suit a few allergies amongst our party. The food was served hot and portions were decent

My wife and I are here for the first time today and the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and vibrant! I got the classic breakfast which was perfect & my wife got the GF classic egg’s Benedict! Both meals came out incredibly fast and was really warm and delicious! They have so many dietary options and is a must-try in the HRM!

Great food! We went at 10:30am on a Sunday and luckily we had a reservation because this is a popular spot! We will be back!

I came here to work one morning and it was such a lovely spot. The service was great, the food was good, and the coffee was absolutely delicious! A wonderful place to relax or get a bit of work done.

Good food and great coffee, a lil pricey. We were a big table and they waited until after we ordered a second cup of coffee to tell us that we need to leave since we exceeded the 75 min on the table. I've been to some resturaunts where its dine and go vibes from how popular and busy they are. But they wait until youre done eating and their service is super fast so you get the hint. I just felt annoyed that they waited until after the 2nd cup of coffee was ordered and served to tell us that we need to leave. My sister had no time to drink it, it was super awkward. Then we had to reach out to staff for a to go cup, I wasnt sure if they expected she would chug it or just leave it untouched. But besides that hiccup in service. The food and coffee were great thats why we asked for seconds.

Their savory danishes are my top choice! They have limited cafe drink options, but have the staples. And that's OK cus the pastries and lunch combos are the stars of the show. I have always found seating for at least 2 people between 10 and 12, and 2 and 4pm without issue. So a great meeting place for catching up with friends, colleagues, or clients. May you be blessed with the timing of visiting them while they are baking chocolate cakes. That aroma!

Beautiful place. Food tasted so nice. The service was excellent. Sharebanu always wears a smile when we enter the restaurant. Very cozy place. Food prize is very reasonable.

I got a Vanilla Strawberry cake from The Bread Lounge for Mother’s Day, and it was a total hit! All the moms absolutely loved it—the flavor was light, fresh, and just the right amount of sweet. Everyone kept asking where the cake was from! It looked beautiful too, perfect for the occasion. Definitely going back to The Bread Lounge for our next celebration.

I had a great experience at the Bread Lounge! Phenomenal tasting pastries, sandwiches and drinks! 10/10 service as well

I recently had the pleasure of having the Vanilla Strawberry cake. The icing on the cake was a smooth, whipped vanilla buttercream. The cake itself was light and fluffy, with a classic vanilla flavor and not overly sweet. The cake contained a generous filling of strawberry compote - bright, slightly tart, and bursting with real fruit flavor. Visually, it was just as appealing, with a soft pink tone. This made it a perfect centerpiece for our Mother's Day celebration. Overall, this Vanilla Strawberry cake was a wonderful blend of simplicity and elegance.

Excellent bakery we love going there as a family treat! Stepping into this bakery feels like walking into a warm, sunlit haven, where the aroma of freshly baked pastries wraps around you like a cozy blanket. The gleaming displays present each croissant, tart, and bun like treasures, making it impossible to choose just one. Every bite is a revelation—the croissant is delicately crisp with buttery layers, and the medjool-date butterscotch bun is pure indulgence. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between charm and elegance, encouraging you to linger over coffee and conversation. Staff greet you with genuine warmth and knowledge, making you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a customer. From the food to the ambiance to the service, this bakery delivers an experience that stays with you long after the last crumb.

I ordered a cake for my birthday, and it turned out even better than I imagined. The bakery followed all of my requests so carefully, and the result was exactly what I wanted – both in taste and design. It was not only stunning to look at but also incredibly delicious. You could feel the love and attention in every detail. This cake truly made my birthday even more special. Thank you so much – I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending you to everyone I know!🩷🩷🩷🩷

This place has become my go to for breakfast or lunch on the way home to Cape Breton. There’s a ton of options for bagels and cream cheese flavours and their bagels are sooo good!! Customer service is super friendly and don’t sleep on their other baked goods like the lemon squares (INSANE) and Jamaican beef patties. Everything I’ve had here was awesome! Quick stop by the bridge if you’re heading out of town.

Very tasty, very soft. Favourite flavour is Veggie Spice- TLC. Samosas are good.

I always drive by on the way to work and decided to stop by this afternoon with my son. My son had the apple crisp pastry (which was incredible!) and I had a turkey sandwich on a Sundried tomato bagel and ate inside, but they also have outdoor seating. We also took a strawberry bagel home. Everything was incredibly delicious! We will be back ☺️🥯

To describe this in one word. Yummy !!! It was my first time having a Montreal bagel. I had one with smoked salmon and cream cheese.

Omg this plave is sooooo good so happy I found it Best Bagles in Nova Scotia .. possibly Canada deffinatly top 5 !

Bagels made fresh daily? What more could you ask for! The team was super efficient in taking orders and making the orders, loved the family style atmosphere. They had a large variety of different bagels! Would definitely come back!

The bagel flavors are unique and plentiful though the small, thin bagels (compared to a true NY bagel) are lacking if you’re a NY style fan. Owner is super nice and place was busy so they definitely know what they’re doing. First time Montreal style and I’d try again.

We had our Christmas dinner from Jane’s. It was so good. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and generous portions. We even had leftovers for Boxing Day. It was nice to not have spent 2 days in the kitchen!

These sandwiches used to be made fresh daily, but that doesnt seem to be the case anymore. The "fresh artisan bread" was most definitely stale. The lettuce, wilted and soft. The amount and quality of the meat was questionable and even a bit sour? I took two bites and stopped eating cause it was so bad. Definitely not worth $10+ dollars.

Jane's recently catered a birthday party for 30 people with beautifully presented platters. Ordering through the website was incredibly easy, they were extremely professional and attentive to an allergy. They delivered the food to our location and it could not have been more straightforward. Hot and cold dishes were delicious and all guests raved about the food. I would definitely have them cater future events.

Jane's provided a catered dinner and dessert for us for my mother's birthday party this year! Jovaria was lovely to work with and the kitchen was extremely accommodating with our dietary restrictions. The serving sizes were huge and there were rave reviews from the party guests! We will definitely order from Jane's again!

Food was very tasty and interaction with staff was great! Very friendly and personable. The only reason I give 4/5 is because the portion sizes are a bit smaller than I expected. We ordered the family bundle and felt it was moreso suited for a couple. Also… probably an oversight on my part and no effect on the rating… the website has a section called “Jane’s frozen” so I figured the bundles listed above were not frozen but they are 😅 . Wasn’t a big deal but just an fyi in case anyone else has mom brain! Food definitely super tasty!! Just wish there was more of it!

We recently ordered birthday dinner for 10 from 'jane's'. The food was good (especially the Black Tiger Shrimps + farfalle). The staff were friendly and helpful. We were unfortunately surprised by a very large bug in one of the meals. The owner was impolite and unpleasant - as was the beef stir fry which included the large bug. An unfortunate end to a heretofore pleasant experience. Staff = 5 stars. Meal = 4 stars. Owner + bug = 0 stars.

Jane's soba noodle bowls are the highlight of my weekly lunches. One of the best healthy yummy and filling dishes. Plus all their sweets cater to all dietary needs without compromising taste or texture. Definitely recommend stopping by Jane's when you need a quick treat or great lunch.

I only take one star away as I used to brag about their quality for price. You used to get this great quality for cheaper than people were selling their cupcakes at all the markets all over HRM and even the moncton markets I frequent. Now their price hike has them at the same prices ( I realize prices go up but didn't expect the large leap as izzys bagels did it a few cents at a time for fairness to their customers). I will keep going for their flavors and icing being superior and the friendly lady usually at cash. If I could give it a 4.5 I would.

We went today for a dessert, had never been before. My daughter picked a cookie and she wasn’t able to eat it. She is 4, she eats anything with sugar on it. I tried it and it was terrible, pretty sure it is quite old and has been on display for a while. Very expensive for what they offer.

Lovely bakery and customer service, found the birthday cake ordered way too sweet, gave them a second chance and asked if the sweetness can be reduced a bit, but I was told they don't change recipes. The second cake, different flavor, was also overwhelmingly too sweet, masking any flavour cake might have. Have since found another bakery that have cakes with normal sugar levels and won't be back unfortunately

Love Susie’s. I’m a baker but when I’m in a time crunch it’s my go to. Everyone loves their cupcakes. The person that left a review complaining about too much sugar? Seriously….its literally called shortbreads which are made with butter and sugar. That’s like going to the liquor store and complaining they have too much alcohol!! Most ridiculous comment ever. This is a wonderful bakery.

We ordered cookies online one day for a movie night. Cookies were warm and delicious! Will definitely visit the store if we're in the area!

Had one of their mini cakes and it was delicious a little bit too much icing, but beautiful store and friendly workers!

Great selection of decorative cookies, cakes, and cupcakes. The website lets you easily order and pay online and they have items for all occasions and seasons.

Serious safety incident handled poorly, won’t be back. While sitting on the patio with my family, a board snapped under my disabled father as he sat down, nearly causing him to nearly to fall. He caught himself, but the jolt caused severe back pain — bad enough that he ended up in the ER that night. I reported it to staff immediately, and the baker said she’d tell the owner (who was on cash). We stayed for quite a while afterward, but no one, including the owner, ever came out to check on my dad or the hazard. Two nearby customers jumped up to help, and with my mom, we moved the table ourselves. We discovered the boards were loose along the flowerbed. The owner’s later response focused more on the patio than my dad’s wellbeing, he didn't even ask how my dad was doing. He also said the tables are “supposed” to be in a certain spot, yet nothing was done to secure them. Accidents happen, but safety and customer care should come first. In this case, neither did.

Super cute store! Love that they serve food and drinks while also supporting local and canadian businesses with their product offering. I was happy to find they sell Those pretzels, because I didn't think I would see them again after leaving Vancouver. Good atmosphere, would definitely come back! I had a chicken, bacon bagel and it was delicious!

Ever since my first visit, I've loved coming to this wonderful cafe! The atmosphere is so welcoming and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I usually get the breakfast bagel, house salad, strawberry banana smoothie, and some baked treats— all so fresh and delicious! 😋✨ They have a lovely patio. A perfect spot to enjoy your food and drinks, especially when the sun is out. The owner, Jason, is a sweetheart! He's so kind and wholesome— always making sure that everyone has an awesome experience. Whenever you can, be sure to check out this local cafe and gift shop! 🩵☕🛍️

A super cute coffee shop just outside Dartmouth. They have a lot of customization available for their lattes which is great if you are looking for dairy free options. There is also a store section on the top and bottom floors with cute local merch (mugs, tea towels, cards, etc.) I highly recommend as the coffee is tasty and less than Starbucks. The vibe of the restaurant is very relaxing as well.

A quick shout-out to Selby's Bunker Coffee & Gifts! This place is an absolute gem. My all-time favorites are their salmon sandwich, garden salad, and strawberry smoothie! I enjoy them very much. They have fantastic menu, drinks and other treats as well—they have so many options, and everything is fresh and delicious. It's more than just a coffee shop. The vibe is so welcoming and cozy, and the gift shop is full of the coolest, most unique stuff from local businesses. It's the perfect spot to grab a great drink and find a one-of-a-kind gift. The leadership of the owner, Jason, is the heart of this place. Definitely worth a visit! Highly recommend! 💖

I was looking forward to enjoying my food and drink on the patio at Selby's Bunker but my appetite was ruined by the mouse that kept popping out of the flowers in the centre of the patio... I raised this with the lady at the counter who responded with "I just work here"...

Super cute and funny boutique + good coffee!! If you want to shop a little souvenir or a gift from local NS artists. Candels, mugs, plants, soap, gift cards, puzzles, socks, tons of cute little things !! Go there !!

My friend and I went to Ori Foods yesterday for a nice brunch and found the food was beyond expectations. My friend ordered the octopus on the special menu and I got a lamb flatbread. Both of us enjoyed the food from the first bite. The flatbread tasted crunchy and juicy; the green onions and the sour cream on top added to the richness of the sauce, which I used a piece of croissant to save and savor. And the croissant was wonderful too!

Here’s a polished review for ORI Foods Café: ORI Foods Café in Dartmouth is a hidden gem that truly delights the taste buds! We tried the veggie breakfast sandwich, and it was an absolute standout with a perfect blend of fresh, flavorful ingredients. The BBQ squash grilled cheese was a unique twist on a classic, and it did not disappoint—so hearty and delicious. The rainbow trout was expertly prepared, showcasing the café’s attention to detail in every dish. For dessert, the crème brûlée was silky and decadent, and the sour cream Danish was the perfect mix of tangy and sweet. To top it all off, we enjoyed a beautifully crafted cortado that tied the whole experience together. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was impeccable. If you’re in Dartmouth, ORI Foods Café is a must-visit for incredible food and a cozy café vibe. Highly recommended!

I love everything about ORI. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The staff are very friendly, and the food is top-notch. The lunch menu never fails to impress me—the quality consistently exceeds expectations. Their croissants are delightfully light and crispy, and their pastries always hit the spot. To me, this place isn’t just a café—it feels more like a fancy restaurant, but with reasonable prices. You absolutely must try it. I’m so grateful that ORI is part of the Dartmouth neighborhood.

10/10 on the pastries and deserts! The creme brulee cookies are divine; the strawberry lemon tart is perfectly balanced; the other things we tried were awesome as well.

Might be my new favorite spot in Dartmouth. Great pastries and great coffee (espresso 46 beans). lunch options looked amazing as well. Definitely coming back for more.

We finally checked out Ori Foods this weekend and it’s a very cute spot. Super small but done nice and the server we had ,(a recent hire), was very nice. My girl and I were super hungry and when I looked online I felt like this place wasn’t too expensive and would be a good choice for a quick and delicious lunch. Unfortunately the portions here are very small. I noticed they had Lemon Tarts that looked amazing so we promptly ordered two of those and a couple sandwiches to share. The Lemon Tarts came first so we started with dessert and they are one of the best lemon tarts I’ve had. Basically a perfect 5/5 on those even though they are kinda small for $7; the size is made up for by the flavour and fresh strawberries on top! We shared the breakfast sandwich and the Brisket on Rye, so half of each for my girl and I, and we left hungry. The breakfast sandwich was kinda bland with a really nice bun and the Brisket on Rye was tasty but super thin and I felt it was difficult to get a good bite without all the meat coming out at once. I don’t feel I got a great value for the >$50 I spent on lunch but I did enjoy the tart and might return for dessert and coffee. I also don’t really like paying/tipping before I get my food/experience a place. Sides with the sandwiches and bigger portions for slightly more cost would be nice and maybe all-day breakfast on weekends since they close at 4pm and breakfast is 9am-11am. 5/5 for dessert, 5/5 on ambiance, 5/5 customer service, 2/5 on each sandwiches, 2/5 value. Overall a 3.5/5 but google doesn’t allow partial stars so I’m giving a 3/5 based on how hungry I was after lunch and feeling rather disappointed about it.

A great creative dish and a great service. Unexpected to have such a high quality food at a little cafe. Only 4 tables are available inside and some customers are not mindful about other customers waiting at the door and take their time to enjoy lingering. Unagi (eels) crepe was a fantastic dish and very affordable for what it is. Definitely go back. Wish it was on the other side of the bay;).

We ordered 4 BEAUTIFUL sheet cakes for an event and we couldn't be happier. Everyone wanted a slice of each flavour and raved about the taste and decoration. We love this business, the owners, and everything they do! Highly recommend for all your cake needs. Photo by East Coast Food Stories

Tart and Soul is an incredible cafe run by two of the best people you could know. Their business is a blueprint of what all businesses should strive for. They are community builders and have endless support for other local businesses, employees and patrons. They have set the standard of how to run a business. It also helps that everything they produce is absolutely incredible. The butter tarts are divine, the famous cinnamon buns are to die for, and their breakfast snacks are *chefs kiss*.

has a cute vibe, food is really good, service is great. bagels are housemade and the bagel sandwiches are superb, not to mention prices are low for food of the quality being served here. we will be returning!

Best (only good) coffee close to campus; good food and pastries too. Now back in their original space. Outdoor seating in good weather.

The best crust I've had is on the T&S butter tart. And I've had a lot of crusts in my 35 years in case there is question about my comparison set. Have tried nearly all their desserts and have always been very happy. Coffee is hot and lots. Friendly staff, all 3 I have met. Have been offered staff clothing (cafe sleeveless sweater?) for a chilly day on the patio, and given double the number of cookies I paid for. Will return and look forward to it. Edit 6 years later: Miss you too, think about you guys, and hope you're doing well! I hope review edits are the best way to get in touch. You're wonderful!

Even morsel of any edible item that I’ve consumed has been absolutely delicious. T&S Hungry Ma’am and Gobbler pies are on the top of our favourites list. Ohhhh and the specialty birthday cakes are like nothing you can imagine until you experience. Everyday treats and great coffee in the cafe are always delicious and served with a smile. Do yourself a favour and visit Tart & Soul, you and your tastebuds will not be disappointed. IYKYK

The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Setting is nice to work in and grab a sandwich and a latte to fuel your needs. Happy tummy items: soup of the day, cookies, sandwich cookies (oh my God these babies are unbelievable, bagel sammies) Not so happy tummy items: pecan pie (too many pecans compared to the pie filling), butter tarts, cinnamon bun (not as moist as expected) All in all worth a visit :)

Such a local gem! Stopped here on the way to Peggy’s cove, and had an amazing lunch. Chai latte was solid and so was the London fog. The pickle and chips that came with the sandwiches were a nice touch :)

I had walked up the Chain Lake Trail. And this cafe was in the perfect spot for a rest and a bite to eat. I was told they just opened in June of 2022, so they've been there for less than a year. The food is good! I had a little devil sandwich. It was spicy, but the worker informed me beforehand that it would have spice in it. I really enjoyed the atmosphere too! Great experience. They had baked goods, too (cinnamon buns, cookies, etc.), and they also made a beautiful hot chocolate for me.

This was a popular place! Delicious lattes, clean restrooms, nice atmosphere. Friendly staff.

The location at industrial and commercial area is ok, lots of free parking is available. Cleanliness is plausible Services is friendly Patisserie offered is limited. Prices is plausible I liked it

Stopped in for a coffee after shopping in Bayer’s Lake. First I love that there is a coffee shop in this area, great location! The atmosphere was cool, small space but a good amount of seating. Had a latte, espresso and cinnamon bun, all were great.

The place is themed towards people who lead an active lifestyle and is attached to a small outdoor/ fitness shop. The coffee coffee was good (not bitter or sour tasting), and friendly service. They have a selection of beans and coffee accessories, for sale.

Food and drinks are delicious but the menu on their website rarely reflects the products they actually have available in-store. This is very frustrating when I give my order to my coworker to pick up and we have to call back and forth to figure out an alternative. Additionally, they have very few vegetarian options.

Absolutely calming atmosphere. Delicious baked goods and coffees. The shelves get empty quickly. They are getting the attention they deserve, because the food, service and ambience are top notch🫶🏻

My favorite bakery and café! Delicious pastries and great coffee. We pick-up a box of different pastries every now and then and they are so good. Lovely atmosphere inside as well. The workers are fast and efficient - they work very hard. Definitely will be going back. Hopefully they expand in the future as they seem very popular!

This is my new favourite place. I’ve never had a bad thing from here. The pastries are amazing. The sourdough is fantastic. Had the Easter box and it was delicious. Tonight we had the lemon pistachio cake for Mother’s Day dessert and it was a huge hit. The owner is always so nice and the staff are super. I’m gushing but I mean it. This place is always packed and I’m so happy to see their success. I hope that means they’re around for a long time!!!

This bakery/cafe is absolutely incredible. The owner/staff are friendly and professional, even when the place is lined up out the door. The pastries and baked goods are consistent in quality every time I go. In my opinion, they also have the best coffee in the city. Thank you Levantic! Enjoy this photo of this strawberry and cream danish. This thing has changed my life. 🖤

The food here is always fantastic, which is why I'm a customer. I'm a consistent tipper when I dine in, as I believe in rewarding good service. That said, I was taken aback when picking up a takeout order to find a strong expectation for a tip. I've always understood tipping to be optional, primarily for table service. “Having it addressed at checkout felt inappropriate. “ I still love your food but wanted to share this feedback on the takeout process.

3 times a week here at least, love my ice latte and sandwich here. This place is busy and popular for good reasons, is very interesting to see how people just giving bad reviews of Sold out of sandwichs, the owner and staff are awesome. Is easy for giving a 1 star review cause Few seconds on keyboard But actually bringing in a good business for the community is hard in this economic with high inflation food cost etc. Keep the good work up small business owners

It’s very busy on Sat. Pastries are good but cake are too North American like…quite sweet and heavy. Wish they had light whipping cream + custard with fruits, healthy choices. Good atmosphere. Average price - $7-8. $5 for a plain croissant.

Today I visited Creamy Rainbow Café and tried their pistachio croissant—and wow, it was incredible. It looked beautiful, with a chocolate-nut topping, and inside… the pistachio filling was so generous and absolutely delicious. I am a big fan of anything pistachio, and this one totally hit the mark. I also had a cappuccino, which paired perfectly with the pastry. Smooth, well-balanced, and just strong enough—simple to describe, but very well done. Both the croissant and coffee were honestly 10 out of 10. Highly recommend if you’re a pistachio lover or just want a quality café moment.

The place is quite expensive while some desserts are really cute. Me personally, I thought that more authentic Asian food would be available. This experience reminded me of watching a YouTube video because of the hyped title and finding that the content itself is not worth it. If you have no high expectations and just need a good place to have a dessert with coffee - it is totally fine.

Such a great place and service. We got a red velvet cake for our friend’s birthday last minute. Never tasted this tasty red velvet cake. Loved it. New favourite bakery 🙌🙌 Also loved how they wrapped the cake.

This place was adorable! I had their iced strawberry latte with an almond croissant & my partner had a caramel iced latte & bun. They were both delicious & I can’t wait to come back! The staff ate very friendly

One star because their matcha doesn’t taste good at all. Matcha powder doesn’t have flavour, lacks colour and it is very milky. In the picture the color looks fine but once stirred it’s very light green. Although their macaroons are very delicious !!

Pistachio croissants are amazing!💚 very intrigued by that pistachio cake, maybe next time I’ll try it, if no croissants are left 😂 Other desserts are looking so cute and delicious.

It’s my Korean bestie’s and I one of our favorite places ever. I guarantee you that anything you get will be a 100% delicious. They always have a great selection of creamy desserts that are frequently updated and the drinks are supreme. My to go drinks are iced strawberry matcha and yuzu drink. Anyway, if you want a nice place with delicious desserts and drinks and reasonable prices- you won’t be disappointed with this one

This little cafe on Almon street is wonderful! They lured me in with the scent of delicious cinnamon baked goods. They offer a range of beverages and they bake all of their pastries in house so they are very fresh. The egg sandwich is hearty and yummy! If you’re looking for a local cafe to support please put this one on your list. You won’t be disappointed!

Ordered a matcha white chocolate cookie and an iced matcha latte with oat milk. The cafe was very cozy, they played great music, and the staff were nice! The iced matcha latte was a pretty average, I felt as though I tasted more milk than the matcha. The cookie was great though! Not too sweet.

Everything was perfect in this small café! Definitely recommended! Food and beverages are outstanding, plus the service is top notch. We ordered coffee and matcha latte. Both were prepared with care and tasted amazing. Probably the best matcha latte I've tried in a long time. And the cinnamon roll? Just perfect too!

my favourite cafe in the entire city. the staff are so beyond lovely and welcoming!! food is absolutely fantastic, the baked goods are just phenomenal, and the coffee is increeedible. if you’re in the north end, this is a must visit. highly recommend an espresso tonic w/lemon juice :) they also offer a free drink w/beans purchase!

Suda Table is an absolute gem! We tried the salmon roll and the brie/apple sandwich — both were incredibly fresh and full of flavor. The service was fantastic; super friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Their baked goods were also a highlight — everything looked amazing, and what we tried was delicious. Paired with a great latte, it made for the perfect lunch stop. Highly recommend!

Absolutely lovely service. Bit if a wait, but the staff was very attentive and sweet, and it was very refreshing and appreciated to have some traditional table service The food, treats, and coffee were all delicious, it's cool to see hatch coffee more in ns. Excellent little spot overall, I'll have to come back to try more stuff!

Easily on the list of best desserts in Canada so far. I'm afraid to say specifically which one because it'll likely be tried more often and It'll make it harder for me to find, but it's easily one of the best things in Halifax. Coffee, people are fantastic. A beautiful addition to the cafe surge scene, especially alongside creative cup where you can get amazing sandwich too.

Cute little take out sandwich stop. I’ve gotten sourdough from them before and they have the best sourdough bread ever! So get one. The sandwiches are presented very nicely, they taste good, but nothing out of the ordinary, the pickle and chips are a 2dll add on, but you only get a quarter of a pickle so that’s sad :(….. The store has tons of little jams, sauces, sardines and other fun stuff. We didn’t try the drinks! Good simple food.

The perfect classic sandwiches!!! And with a side of chips and a dill pickle it makes for a perfect lunch! We had tried the turkey, egg salad, and roast beef sandwiches!

We’ve been to Luke’s before but only purchased from their bakery display (delicious). I’ve been meaning to try a sandwich box for a while and finally did so today. The bread is so freaking fresh and smooshy, yum. It was a standard turkey & cheese but the bread made it. The pickle was delicious too, wish it was a full pickle. We bought a sourdough loaf as well, that’s a must each time!

Sandwiches were delicious. Loved the croissant. Wished the queue wrapped around the store so you could browse the items and don’t have to re-queue if you find something you like after you’ve already ordered

The freshest of sandwiches! I've tried the egg salad and turkey so far -- I'll be slowly working my way through the menu. The staff are also super friendly!!

Looks like a cute spot but without any identified df or gf I had to keep walking. It would be lovely if at least a few specialty items would be offered.

Soooooo good. Food was fresh and carefully curated! I got the muffuletta and a white chocolate walnut cookie and both were amazing. Service was super friendly and quick. And they have cute items you can shop around for!

They always make my most beautiful dark chocolate espresso cake every year for my birthday. I would never go anywhere else. They use real ingredients like butter, cream and real dark chocolate. No fake fillers. Absolutely top drawer. I know of no other bakery that could even come close and if so then please share!!

Everything I've tried here is a 10/10. So delicious and worth the money. Sad that they aren't closer to me. The 7 macarons and 3 chocolate fish were only $19! Update: Everything is still delicious 😋 Had the sorbet today and it was to die for!!! So yummy and the nest way to end a day at the beach. Another update: I have yet to try something that I didn't like. This place is a gem and the owner is too. If you like delicious ice cream, sorbet and sweets (too many to name) then come here!!!

Lovely local small business. Delicious desserts and chocolates. Truly artists in their craft. Great service and fair prices. We’ll be back for sure!

Saw Gourmandises Avenue on Taste of Nova Scotia and had to go try... And to say we are in love is an understatement. We got some macarons and an opera cake. They are all AMAZING! I will be recommending this spot to everyone - a must try!

Went in for the first time and I was blown away by the artisanship and the love put in their products. My 3 pastries were delicious and fresh and the service was very friendly. Will definitely be back!

The ice cream was AMAZING! I tried pistachio and praline and they were so great. This shop is full of amazing treats! We sat outside at some picnic tables and had a lovely time, definitely worth visiting!

Great french pastries, chocolates, macarons and ice cream. Exquisitely made products. Great for get-togethers and gifts. Pleasant, friendly owner! Items can be made to order. A real local treasure!

Found this spot in our search for gluten-free & dairy-free options in Halifax. So glad we did! The baked goods were amazing (we arrived right as the muffins came out of the oven and were still warm)! We left with cookies, which I am now devouring as I write this. The fact that this is a social enterprise is the absolute cherry on top, but don't for one second think you are going there as any sort of compromise; you are not, quite simply, some of the best gluten-free baking I have had anywhere. The service was friendly and made us feel like locals (the best compliment I can give to anyplace). I will also add, that by gluten-free standards, the prices are excellent ($3 for muffins, $1 for cookies).

Great service from this wonderful social enterprise! My order of vegan cupcakes were delicious. Easy to place my order online. Staff were very responsive to emails.

I ordered two boxes of gluten-free cookies to celebrate a birthday with my friends, one of whom is celiac. (I ordered the ginger cookies & chocolate crinkles. Twenty-six cookies fed six adults with a couple left over.) The order was ready on time, the people at the cafe were fantastic, and the baked goods were phenomenal. I will definitely be placing additional orders in the future for gluten-free treats!

Okay, so grateful that this place exists. The lemon cookies, chocolate by the seaside, chefs kiss so good. Pasta salad - also good but would love to see more tomatoes or veg in it! So happy to have a gf cafe! Can’t wait to come back

I stumbled upon this spot by accident, and I'm so glad I did. What a great little bakery & café. The staff were so friendly. The baked goods are delicious, as is the coffee. This will definitely be in my rotation of regular spots to grab coffee when in the city.

I never knew gluten free could taste so good! Friendly staff and great coffee (from Just Us Roastery, so locally roasted and ethically sourced)

This is the best gluten free bakery in the city. The staff are super sweet and the food is amazing. It is also affordable, which is a huge bonus. They make wonderful cookies boxes and cater too. Pictured is a cookie and 2 muffins which were only $7. I forgot my wallet and the staff let me have the items and told me to pay next time (which I will). Update Dec 21st: went to pick up my Christmas cookie order and had to order extra cookies because they looked so yummy I knew I would want more. I really can't describe how good the cookies are that I ate so far. If you haven't gone you need to go. The prices are amazing and the staff are so friendly and nice.

I'm very disappointed with the pies I've bought the last couple of times. For thanksgiving I got a pumpkin and apple crumble pie, and while the apple was good the pumpkin was severely underwhelming, barely any filling and overheard one of my guests refer to it as new york style. I got another apple crumble pie for another event and while it looked good opening the box, topped up to the crust with toppings, a cross section shows it should just be called crumble pie. Again barely any filling. For $16 a pie I was expecting something a little more gourmet, not something I could have gotten out of the freezer bunker at gateway for 1/4 the price.

The best little hometown bakery and deli/cafe! Excellent selection of hand picked European goods, pastries and coffee. Delicious sandwiches and catering! We go at least once a week as a family for a treat or lunch. Thanks for bringing such a wonderful spot to our little community!

Really lovely coffee shop and desserterie. It is nicely decorated, staff is very lovely as well. The chaï latte, with an add of pumpkin spice syrup for the fall lovers like me (even in spring), was delicious. Same for the lemon turnover, it was amazing. Would be even greater if it had a bike stand since it is nearby a trail, but still a really nice stop ! :)

My wife asked the wonderful staff for an apple crumble cheesecake for my birthday. It was amazing! Best cheesecake I've ever had. Cute coffee shop and bakery. A great addition to the Eastern shore.

Great local shop. Delicious food, friendly staff. Wonderful place! Great spot for a cyclist to get a sweet treat!

Everyone at Martinique is lovely. The food in incredible, they're wonderful partners in the community and incredible allies to the pride community. Definitely worth the trip!!

I wanted to share with you this cute, delicious, special coffee place we found by chance. The employees are very polite and smiling. I would definitely recommend.

The owner of Dinah's Sourdough, Dan, is a fantastic baker and a pleasure to see on the mornings I stop by. The americanos and coffee at this quaint spot are delicious... fuel for the caffine lover in all of us! Open early so great for morning people too. 👌☕

I have been a bread critic for 30 years. It takes much to wow me. Dinah's sourdough bread is what I call a true taste sensation. The owner and baker are all one in the same. Daniel Corbett greets you with a smile every single day. The coffee served compliments this unique bakery. It reminds me of my travels in British Columbia where the best sourdough bread was found called " Binos". Their sourdough muffins were to die for. Dinah's sourdough bakery reminds me of Binos. I wish you all the best. *****

Great bakery with a great selection of baked goods all made in house. Great place to grab a coffee, espresso, latte, all have been delicious! Super friendly and chill atmosphere would highly recommend.

Kind, pleasant staff and great espresso. Their organic, whole-grain breads seem to have a bit of a cult following in the North End neighborhood.

I just recently discovered this little gem and all I can say is wow!!I absolutely love their bread it’s gonna be my new go to.But along with that they have tasty sandwiches and sweet treats.Check it out you won’t be disappointed.......

Very neat little bakery shop, they also sell spices, soap, beans and rice and I’ll kinds of neat things. And the coffee and pastries were amazing

A great local bakery that makes the best homemade bread of different types. They also make delicious muffins and cookies
