31 Best Cafes in Halifax

“Amazing breakfast sandwich!“

“Memorable night! Liam was super friendly and kind—we are visiting from out of town and he took the time to give his recommendations around town in addition to helping us with the games and great food/ drink service. The games themselves were fun, and there were plenty of options for just two people as well. The other staff members were just as helpful, patiently explaining the games and checking in on us. Highly recommend The Board Room!“

“Great service. Good coffee and food.“

“She loved it! Coffee was great. Cider was great and sandwiches were awesome.“

“Love this place. If you haven’t put some headphones on and sipped a coffee or gathered with friends than you are missing out.“

“Love the amazing treats, hot chocolate, croissants, poke bowls, Asian noodle salad,... Haven't had anything I didn't like. Very friendly staff.“

“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“

“only recently started going here and love it so much. the staff has been so pleasant and those oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are to die for.“

“We walked over to this place as a soccer team while in town for university games and I was thrilled to see such a beautiful spot close by. From the moment we entered, the staff were incredibly friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. They took time explaining about some of their drinks, and the drinks we all ordered were absolutely delicious. Not to mention the desserts - WOW! I purchased a bag of their beans and it is seriously one of the best bags of beans I've ever had to brew from home (and I buy a lot of beans from various roasters across the Maritimes). Can't wait to get back down to Halifax to visit here again!“

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

“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.“

“Had fried chicken Benny…was awesome!“

“A lovely place!! Very cozy— like having a coffee in someone’s beloved living room. I am a cane user, and the owner made a little two-cup carrier out of an empty milk container. It was actually easier to carry than most to-go containers!! The extra effort and care is so appreciated. Would highly recommend for a coffee and snack.“

“Nour's Cafe and grill was recommended to me as i was in the area. And i was not disappointed. Friendly service. They have a speaker set up to hear each other properly. I got Nour's bagel (jalapeño and cheese) with egg, lettuce tomato. It was cut in half (didn't even ask for it ) tasty, grilled, and still warm. And bc i was still hungry, i got a small portion of their fries. MIAM! The spice they put on the fries are amazing. It adds more flavor. I would just decrease the amount of salt. The spices are enough, in my opinion. The portion was quite generous for small size.The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is the salt, and limited payment options: debit or cash.It was a positive experience overall. Thank you!“

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.“

“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.“

“The perfect place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The coffee and lattes are perfect and the food is delicious! I highly recommend the scones and the cinnamon buns.
The atmosphere is relaxing and warm & the staff are friendly and welcoming,“

“The most amazing Indian Street Food! Great Service! Great Presentation and #AbsolutelyDelicious 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 :)“

“I recently moved back into the area and was hoping to have brunch here every weekend. I had the Madurito breakfast which was a wonderful treat. The flavours were exotic and well balanced and I left quite satisfied. The breakfast came to $30.00 including tip. After searching online, I found this was almost double the price of any breakfast in Halifax. Wonderful food, but keep in mind you are paying for inflated food costs and for specialty ingredients. Not affordable on my budget, unfortunately.“

“I purchased the ring with the heart on and the bracelet with the rainbow on it as I'm a key worker for the nhs“

There are some vegan and gluten-free options available.

Dietary restrictions: There are vegetarian and gluten-free options.

Wheelchair accessibility: You can go up to the top floor by elevator.“

“Their Chicken Tettrazzini is out of this world!!!! It is so good. I love getting their pasta and salad combos, always great on Fridays with their curry chicken pasta. A must try!!!!!!“

“Had a craving for sweetness, asked representative for surprise me with something, She was friendly and great, came up with better version of timbits, warm cinnamon sugar balls with more chewness and freshness! (It's extra sweet and chew though)And I had Feta and Cheese thingy, She warmed that up and it was best till I ever have. Tastes so fresh even in the evening, Cheese inside and crisp outside is just wow!I just wish they could have sitting table of two atleast.“
