Me and my friends had breakfast at Tempo this morning and it was unreal. Food was great and the service was outstanding. I can’t remember our servers name but he was the best. Thanks tempo

I came here for breakfast when I was staying in Halifax and it was indeed the right choice! My cooked breakfast and fresh coffee were delicious. I would light to highlight that my scrambled eggs were cooked to perfection, and more importantly, that the person who served me, Lisa, was a super-star, what a lovely, friendly, kind waitress. I would come back if I am back in Halifax one day.

I went here some time ago for breakfast with my friends. It was around Christmas time and they had a specials menu, and I picked Mac n Cheese. The thing is I was then new to North America and was not aware what Mac n Cheese really meant, I thought it would be some nice pasta with different sauces, spices and cheese. I was horrified when I saw what I got: the big bowl of cheap macaroni with just plain cheese.
Now I understand it probably was the 1$ Kraft Mac n cheese. But for 25$??? Hello?? Some restaurants just got so comfortable with selling frozen / microwaved / kraft foods as “high quality restaurant meals”. It’s getting out of hand and if you wanna be safe I’d say go to an Asian restaurant, not North American style

One of the worst experiences I've had.
Order (2 grab and go's plus bagel with cream cheese ) was taking long and asked for the coffees (15min) waited.. Another 20 min went by and I asked about my order.. Kitchen is open and I notice the obviously did not start it as the cook instantly threw the order on the grill....
Server came back with the bagel after a few min and said they were just finishing the order.. (no ownership..)
Finally got the order after 60min.. Took it to my room and realized no Cream cheese on the begal and they put bacon on one sandwich I asked for no bacon..
Went back to get the cream cheese and noted about the bacon, but nothing other then a brief sorry.. No real ownership of the unhinged experience.

This place is not properly staffed. We came in - the only ones in line and the place wasn't even half full - and we were told they would seat us in a minute. 10 minutes go by, we flag someone down. The waitress says she can seat us but won't be able to come to our table for another 10 minutes. Meanwhile, there are 10 plates full of food in the kitchen waiting to be delivered to their tables, that had been there before we got there. To the owner of this location: get more staff! Especially during your breakfast window. Your waitresses are clearly overwhelmed and it's not fair to them.

Super kind, professional staff and delicious food!!!!!

Good food for sit down meals, grab and go is limiting and a bit pricey. Still requires a cashier so not 24/7.
Visited this place for a co-worker's farewell lunch. As expected, all the seafood dishes I tried were amazing. The calamari was my favorite out of all of them. Perfectly seasoned with a generous amount served. I was absolutely not ready for the sticky toffee pudding cake. My eyes glazed over after the first bite. Other restaurants and pubs nearby serve the same dessert, but their version is more intentional (not just the presentation) and the difference in quality shows. Solid lunch overall!!!

Tracy was our waitress and she made some excellent suggestions. Our seafood chowder was fantastic. There were large pieces of scallops, salmon, shrimp and halibut in the chowder. It was the best we had ever tasted.

Came here for breakfast on 27 May 2025. The server (Lisa) despite being the only one with a lot of customers did her best to give us a high standard of service.
We had the hot tempo and eggs Benny. The eggs Benny was buttered and perfect. Nothing super fancy. Just an honest good value breakfast.
Great food, exceptional service, ordered the grab and go special, it came quickly and tasted great. Looking forward to my next visit.
