Didn’t go in but reviewed the menu. If you’re looking for baked goods that are vegan not really an option. They have some vegan milkshakes and a couples waffles. That about it. Looks like a nice place to have a lunch though if looking for a spot downtown Halifax.

we had such an amazing time. Dhairya was our server and he took such good care of us, always gave us water when we needed, super kind and friendly, and always checking in on us even though he literally had the whole restaurant as his section. The dessert was sooo good!!🤤 even though we just came for dessert they even have tons of food options. 5 stars and we will definitely be back!!

We had such a fun time here for my daughter’s birthday. The staff delivered excellent customer service, the food was great, and the atmosphere is unique to other restaurants in HRM. We sincerely appreciate the special effort made to acknowledge my daughter’s special day and we will definitely return soon.
