This spot is such a hidden gem. The owners clearly care about quality, and it shows in every cup. Their seasonal specials are creative and worth trying. Highly recommend the spiced maple latte!

This place has become my weekend ritual. The pastries are fresh and the pour-over is consistently great. Love grabbing a seat by the window and people-watching with my cappuccino.

When a café’s main problem is that there’s not enough of it, that’s a good sign. This shop was like a shot of espresso — small, condensed, and packing as much flavor, personality, and charm as is possible. I ordered an espresso and a cappuccino. There were about 5 people waiting ahead of me when I ordered, and I managed to get my two beverages within 5 minutes. Truly impressive for two people working behind a tiny counter with one espresso machine on it. The espresso was very light, sweet, and acidic, with notes of cherry. Very good for those who like that sort of thing. It had a rich and deap crema, and came on an adorable saucer matching the espresso cup with a demitasse spoon on the side. The cappuccino was brilliantly frothed, with the rich milk cutting into the acidic espresso — the micro-foam perfectly combined with the milk. If only it had a place to sit down, weird harbor would go down as one of my favorite café’s I’ve been to. Easy 5 stars.

No nonsense espresso at a good price and very fast. Super friendly staff. The super loud dance music isn't necessarily for me. Otherwise great.

Not a big coffee drinker but the matcha and cookies were so good!! And the barista (I forget his name sorry!) was super funny and kind!! They also have a small but nice book collection you can shop from.

My top choice for serious espresso in downtown Halifax. Numerous vegan pastries in the case too (whether or not they are vegan is not marked so just inquire). This is a small place so you should plan on taking your food and drink to go.

Super kind staff and delicious drinks and food!!! I‘d recommend the Iced Mocha and Glazed Donut. Their donuts are so good! They are fluffy and melt in your mouth. There‘s no seating inside but a few benches outside.
