“Our fave cafe in Halifax—we keep coming back!

Tried capturing it a little differently this time. We always go for their sandwiches (the menu changes, but everything is consistently delicious).

Highly recommend pairing it with an iced strawberry matcha or a caramel latte (iced or hot). The hojicha was new on the menu too, and it did not disappoint!“

“Amazing breakfast sandwich!“

“wonderful, relaxing space. went on a sunday. Coffee was great and the cape breton scone that I had was delicious! staff are very friendly, and when they found out it was our first visit there, they made it a point to mention all of the great things about the Cafe, including some of the upcoming events. I will most definitely be back“

“I am super impressed with Apartment 3. Attentive, FAST service that I have experienced in this entire area including Bedford to St Margaret’s Bay.

They were so prompt and quick, I was not even ready to order, came out within less than 3 minutes.

Well done, team
Made my trip so much more delightful

We ordered a Mocha and Chai latte. The drinks were steamed beautifully and were piping hot.

Thank you so much for making my day ❤️“

“Went in not knowing it was plant based. I typically don’t like oat milk but it was the best oat latte I’ve had!! The donuts are literally to die for. However, staff weren’t extremely friendly and every time I’ve gone they have been very impatient and short (and it wasn’t even busy or anything).“

“Great service. Good coffee and food.“

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

“I’ve been saying for some time that Halifax needs more independent coffee shops. When I discovered Byron in December, I was delighted and it did not disappoint. Staffed by fun engaging personnel, they take pride in their work, are welcoming, and engaging. It makes you not only want to stay, but return. Great location too!

Nicely done and thank you! See you again.“

“Cozy & boujee cafe with lots of food options. Filled with large beautiful plants.
All kinds of seating, bar style (great for working) and booths (great for lounging)
A bit on the expensive side.
Also noteworthy is that the café hosts a range of nighttime events, pottery classes, music, etc.“

“Safe spot, good food, good staff, great atmosphere, warm area to do work, you may run into to 100 friends“

“Tried here this morning for breakfast at about 8:30. Luckily found street parking just around the block on Shirley St. Weekdays, this area is more of a challenge, due to construction as well as it just being a very busy area by the hospital.
Anyway, the place is quite big inside, with seating for at least 30. High ceilings, all natural lighting, cute decor touches.
All food seems to be pre-made, but at least it must be made this morning. Tried the egg croissant ($8), which was very fresh. Soft, fluffy scrambled egg, arugula, tomato, garlic aioli. For light eaters, it would be enough on its own. Tried the spanish latte, ie condensed milk with espresso, they say. Simple, but satisfying. Grabbed a chocolate hazelnut danish lastly, which was quite good, with flavorful Nutella (or alternative) inside. Very soft & fresh.
In my approximate 30 mins there, a handful of other customers came in. Low noise level overall, but imagine when at max busy times, it could get louder.
Friendly service, not chatty, but warm.
I'd come back.“

“What a great find while I discovered visiting Halifax. Everything I’ve tried is tasty. The tomato butter is delicious!“

“Excellent and friendly service!! Love the Cheesecake!“

“We enjoyed an amazing take out winter salad, shepherds pie and carrot cake for lunch today. So happy we’ve discovered you! Favourite place for lunch 😊😊“

“One of the best hidden gems in Halifax. They pour espresso stronger than most coffee shops in the city and have extremely friendly baristas. Also great supply of tasty protein bars, cold coffee drinks and electrolytes. Worth the short side street walk off Agricola.“

“Great sandwiches and yummy baked goods. Lovely Maritime hospitality!“

“Best dark roast drip in the city.“

“Tony is the nicest man you'd ever meet. As someone who has worked in this mall for a decade, I know that I will always get a warm experience. My favorite item is their breakfast pita, which has scrambled egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and can add cheese. It's perfect for an easy breakfast that will hold you over til lunch. Sometimes I grab an afternoon snack here, which may be a Nanaimo bar, peanut butter cookie, etc. I haven't tried their pizza slices yet, but heard they are decent! Please support this lovely family if you can. (FYI I am not family or friends, trying to push reviews).“

“I have always loved the Healthyway because there are so many options to choose from and everything I've tasted over the years have been absolutely delicious. The service is consistently quick and friendly, and the menu has a great variety for any meal or snack of the day. I will definitely keep coming back to this Cafe.“

“I discovered this gem of a coffee shop while staying in Halifax over the weekend. Perfect coffee, friendly and professional staff, delicious pastries (my husband said it was the best croissant he’s had outside of Montreal!). The cafe was very spacious and I LOVED how much space there was in between tables so you can relax and enjoy your coffee in peace. 10/10! We will be back.“

“We had the pleasure to discover Lara Cafe during our vacation in Halifax with our 3 children. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the creamy oat milk lattes and colourful lemonades and we found ourselves retuning to the Cafe every day of our vacation. We had the opportunity to meet Lara, the owner, and it was immediately clear why this Cafe is so tastefully decorated, why the atmosphere is so enjoyable and the menu so very delectable. Thank you for adding much delight and fond memories to our family vacation! We will be sure to return every time we visit the East Coast! Merci beaucoup Lara :)“
