Bird's Nest Cafe + Catering

We really enjoyed the atmosphere of this lovely place! Staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. I had the fruit and granola parfait which was supposed to be a “snack” but was more than filling! Fresh fruit and tasty granola! Their dark roast drip coffee was also very good. My husbands sandwich - which he let me taste - was tasty and nicely toasted. This is a wonderful place to to stop and enjoy some coffee and food!

Fantastic cafe with amazing food...and service! One of the best (and strongest) Americanos that I've ever had, and the ham and briefly sandwich, on the own bread, was to die for. Oh and the picture attests to this being the happiest cafe in Halifax...and the photo is NOT manipulated.

One of my favorite cafe in the city. Foods are always great, people are nice, inside the cafe is always cozy.

Kind service, cozy environment, and delicious coffee! Breakfast is always top notch (Naked Eggs is comfort food to the max + the Grilled Cheese sandwich is great too). Can’t stop coming back.

Latte is horrible. Shakshoka is just an egg on tomatoes. They got two of the ingredients right but they forgot the rest and how to actually prepare it.

Go to weird harbor espresso one block down. Much better latte -but no seating-.

Bird Nest Café is a hidden gem for coffee lovers. Their mocha is absolutely amazing – rich, smooth, and made with fresh ganache that takes it to the next level. You can really taste the quality in every sip.

They also serve up some great food – their sandwiches are fresh and satisfying, perfect for a quick lunch or a cozy bite. And whatever you do, don’t miss their blueberry muffin – it’s soft, packed with flavor, and the perfect companion to your coffee.

Warm atmosphere, friendly staff, and consistently great food and drinks – Bird Nest Café is definitely a favorite!

A very quaint spot in the heart of downtown Halifax. Small menu, with great food options. Wonderful staff. Beautiful little details like a real flower in a bud vase - makes all the difference.

This is my absolute favorite cafe, I go here almost daily. The atmosphere is cozy with your quiet relaxing music, the food really is great, the coffee is delicious, they have the sweetest staff you will meet and the owner is such a lovely person. If you haven't been here, I strongly recommend paying them a visit.

I love their coffee, the vibe, and their food. It’s amazing!!

DO NOT COME HERE TO STUDY
Would give this 0 stars if I could! I went in to study and have lunch, I asked multiple people if that was ok, everyone told me yes. I asked for the dining time, I was told 2 hours and that I can take my time. After less than an hour they told me I had to leave in 5 minutes. Sure I had finished my food, but I was there to mainly study. I left because I felt so uncomfortable! I went back in to complain and I was met with a lecture about how this business needs to survive and laptop users are the first to be asked to leave when there is a line up. I told them that people at the bar with laptops have been there for much longer than me and I would have rather waited for that seat. Complete waste of my money and I would have gone somewhere else had I known this would happen. HORRIBLE SERVICE. Someone at the bar should’ve been asked to leave since I had been there for less time. Unbelievable!

Love it here! Very friendly staff and they’re always on the move! Great sandwiches and the brownies are a killer! Highly recommend

The place and avocado toast was so good 👌

Love this place. One of my favourite downtown lunch spots. Very consistent. Food and service always top notch.

I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk. The ambiance is lovely, and the coffee is excellent. This charming little cafe on Barrington Street features a friendly staff. I highly recommend it!
