Dropped in to get a carrot cake to share with everyone at work. Very delicious and such a decadent treat. My parents introduced me to this place... it has been open for years and it is now one of my favorite spots for a meal that reminds me of home. The corn chowder with a sandwich.. damn. Hits the spot! Recently I did try a vegan/gluten free brownie and I thought I could easily finish the whole tray.... easily.

I had high expectations from this bakery considering it has been long running. Customer service was okay. I was only able to try two different sandwiches, and two different desserts and they were all just okay. I had better breakfast sandwich at Reno's. I had better sausage roll at European Pantry. I had better hot sandwich at Pete's. I love their coffee. I do like their house-made dessert.

I really like this bakery. Is a bakery a dying breed? It was a challenge to find a place to get a fancy birthday cake. It's not everyday I buy a fancy birthday cake and $37 is nothing to sneeze at, they look the part and you can order something special if you like but I wanted to buy something off the shelf.Great helpful friendly instructive staff and that means a lot.

Great selection of delicious desserts, breads, etc but some of their other menu items aren't available later in the day. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be visiting again.

Smith's is old fashioned downtime goodness! Bread is like a cloud. Desserts are just divine, like mom used to make. Baked beans are very yummy. The lunch counter for sandwiches are always tasty.

great friendly staff, great food, great coffee. It's my new winter stop in while out cycling around town commons etc. I feel so welcome there

Good coffee, though it is self serve and there are no free refills. I enjoyed the baked goods we sampled. The tables are awkward, wobbly and oddly placed. When they chose the metal backed chairs I'm guessing they didn't take into account the amount of glare from the sun. It was pretty uncomfortable but would be fine on an overcast day or in the morning when the sun isn't coming right through the front window, bouncing off the chairs and burning my retinas. Free wifi and reasonable prices though. I would go again but not on a sunny afternoon.

Definitely not like years ago. The sweets are overpriced, the cake is not like year's ago. Disappointed over the years. I was 6 when my Mom would go every day to buy something from there I'm now 58 it was friendly, the bakery was amazing! Today it's all about the money and I agree with others, the product is getting smaller and the price went up.

A little slow some young staff that could use some motivation as in a kick in the rear end and told wake up. When you do get the right order though the food is great.
We were walking down the street and wanted some place to stop for lunch. This place had a great little menu of sandwiches and decadent desserts. We loved it! Definitely worth a peek if just for dessert!

Despite it being a bit pricier for what you get, I have to say it was really tasty and most certainly I regret not getting more while I was there. Nonetheless, I guess I can see now how Smith's has stayed in business for so long!

It was our first visit and we were so delighted. A great variety of scones and muffins, cinnamon rolls, cookies. It was very difficult to make a selection and all so good. They have very good coffee and a good selection of teas.

Best sandwiches in Halifax. Baked bread, chips and pickles. Wonderful treats to take away after. Smoked meat and tuna are my go too.

The aroma of the fresh baked goods is what got us. The sourdough whole grain bread is amazing...nothing like the grocery store bakery stuff and the same price. The croissants are to die for.
