Nice modern cafe. Serve yourself.Limited menu. Cinnamon bun and Breakfast "club" (really an egg McMuffin) was dry.A tad on the pricey side.

Lattes are ok but not the best. Service is lackluster.The schedule is unreliable. Sometimes they close early without any announcement ahead of time. They are also closed on a monday. Maybe they didn't update their business hours on google or on the sign on their front door.I bought a roast and it was so oily and I think they burnt it a bit. Tasted terrible. The Malaga roast.Limited free parking.

Arrived 4:20pm, doors were locked. Waited 15 min in the cold. Called and they said we close at 5pm, and they’ll be right out. 5 minutes passes. Still no one. As I leave I see someone coming to open the doors. I’ll take my business elsewhere.

The bad:The hot chocolate tastes like the no name brand from Superstore except it's 10 times the cost. The water for their espresso is too hot so the beans taste burnt in your drink. The portion size is wildly disproportionate to the cost of the food.The good:The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere itself is great.
Amazing atmosphere and coffee. I visited last weekend on Saturday morning and the barista who served me, young blonde girl was amazing! She's so sweet and excellent at making coffee. Everybody should visit this cafe.

I don't even know what to rate this, MINUS maybe (look under other 1/2 star reviews as well for further). I'm not the only person who made some observations about that blonde-ish haired girl (young girl, two long pony tails, nose ring, open torso attire, high waist pants) this morning. I stood there long enough for my beverage and breakfast sandwich to be prepared to make my own observations of this girl. So...she grabs a couple of napkins, blows her nose, tosses the napkin and carries on. THEN, she wipes her nose with her fingers and carries on. THEN, she applies lip balm with her fingers and carries on. Handling coffee filters, food and everything else with those hands she's lathered in snot. THEN she walks to the front to start preparing drinks. Got the picture....thank goodness another employee moved her away from the counter and took over for my order (she was about to prepare my beverage) or I would have said no thanks, got a refund and left. She obviously had a cold or allergies, her nose and eyes were red and her attitude, well....as described by others who gave her a 1/2 star ratings. Her attitude was as bad as her lack of hygiene - very short/annoyed with the other employees and for the length of time I was there observing all of this, I can see why she has this attitude with customers. She does not have the skills suitable for the food service industry. Owners of Cortado, if you read these reviews, you need to speak to her or replace her with someone who has more respect for service and hygiene in this industry. And, the breakfast sandwich was as flat as a pancake (unlike the usual way it's prepared).

Still one of the coolest coffee shops in HRM. Our kids love it and the staff are generally so great. Also I appreciate the playlists to set the mood in the space.A no brainer to go to for coffee.

I walked in and asked for a cappuccino at the counter. Was told by a blonde girl with a nose ring that I was in the wrong place to order (the place was totally empty except me and the girl behind the counter. I moved to the place where the girl required me to place my order. She then charged me $8 !!!! Regardless, I paid and sat down at which point she marches over and tells me they’re closed (it was 5pm on a Sunday). I asked why she didn’t tell me before serving at which she replied ‘there’s a big red sign on the door’.So I was kicked out with my $8 coffee.Quite the experience and never again.They would do much better if this girl wasn’t working there.
