Cempoal Calavera Negra Cafe

“I had an amazing experience at this place! The coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere was unlike any other cafe—so much better. It has a unique charm that sets it apart, creating a refreshing escape from the usual cafe scene. I even had a great conversation with the owner, who was warm and welcoming, which made the visit even more special. It completely turned my mood around. Highly recommend this hidden gem!”

I had a mixed experience here. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which was great. The tacos were just okay, but the french fries were a big disappointment. They were cold, soggy, and tasted like they were made days ago. Hopefully, they can improve the quality of their food in the future.

If you are looking for an authentic Mexican food experience, it does not get any better than here. The place is cozy, everyone is friendly and they will make you feel just like family.

We love this place and the ambiance. Coffee is nice, it's authentic and down to earth. The owner is very pleasant as well!

Really cool place, great food

Great coffee, prices that can’t be beat, and had a lovely conversation with the owner. I got their ‘mexispresso’ latte which I highly recommend.

Best service, atmosphere and coffee! Welcoming to everyone ?

Favourite cafe to visit in Halifax. Best prices in town and always a nice relaxed vibe.

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.

Delicious and reasonably priced latte. The atmosphere is like an indie record shop, though dim and welcoming. Good music, interesting art and books. The owner is kind, and we had an interesting conversation about Halifax.
