It has a unique charm that sets it apart, creating a refreshing escape from the usual cafe scene.

“Cafe Marco Polo delights on all fronts. A great selection of in-house baked good (the carrot cake is my favourite); lot's of sandwiches (Montreal smoked meat hits the spot every time); breakfast fare (their in-house breakfast sandwich is yummy!); and friendly, attentive staff. They feature an espresso roast that is one of my favourites on either side of the harbour. The space is great to hang out in—at times bustling, at others, peacefully quiet.“

“Nice place to relax, great food and pastries. Great customer service! Kids friendly. Dog friendly. Must try anything with Ube.“

“The Pain au Chocolat is HUGE!! Recommend to share between two people. So fresh, flaky & tasty.

The almond Croissant is great too, still quite big and full of flavor.

Weekly species are fun. I last had the 'everything bagel' croissant, which has a herb & garlic cream cheese filling, with everything seasoning on the outside.

Friendly staff.

Like popping in to grab a bag of beans to take home, but street parking can be hard to find much of the time. There are only a handful of tables and it can be hard to get one on weekend mornings.

I wish they opened earlier on weekdays because 8am is too late for me to swing by on my way to work.“

“Safe spot, good food, good staff, great atmosphere, warm area to do work, you may run into to 100 friends“

“We enjoyed an amazing take out winter salad, shepherds pie and carrot cake for lunch today. So happy we’ve discovered you! Favourite place for lunch 😊😊“

“I have always loved the Healthyway because there are so many options to choose from and everything I've tasted over the years have been absolutely delicious. The service is consistently quick and friendly, and the menu has a great variety for any meal or snack of the day. I will definitely keep coming back to this Cafe.“

“Love everything about this place!“

“Great food (amazing fresh pita), cool vibe and great guys at a fair price.“

“Nour's Cafe and grill was recommended to me as i was in the area. And i was not disappointed. Friendly service. They have a speaker set up to hear each other properly. I got Nour's bagel (jalapeño and cheese) with egg, lettuce tomato. It was cut in half (didn't even ask for it ) tasty, grilled, and still warm. And bc i was still hungry, i got a small portion of their fries. MIAM! The spice they put on the fries are amazing. It adds more flavor. I would just decrease the amount of salt. The spices are enough, in my opinion. The portion was quite generous for small size.The only reason I'm not giving a full 5 stars is the salt, and limited payment options: debit or cash.It was a positive experience overall. Thank you!“

“First visit. Had breakfast sandwich and coffee. Both AMAZING!!“

“Best dark roast drip in the city.“

“We had the pleasure to discover Lara Cafe during our vacation in Halifax with our 3 children. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the creamy oat milk lattes and colourful lemonades and we found ourselves retuning to the Cafe every day of our vacation. We had the opportunity to meet Lara, the owner, and it was immediately clear why this Cafe is so tastefully decorated, why the atmosphere is so enjoyable and the menu so very delectable. Thank you for adding much delight and fond memories to our family vacation! We will be sure to return every time we visit the East Coast! Merci beaucoup Lara :)“

“I recently moved back into the area and was hoping to have brunch here every weekend. I had the Madurito breakfast which was a wonderful treat. The flavours were exotic and well balanced and I left quite satisfied. The breakfast came to $30.00 including tip. After searching online, I found this was almost double the price of any breakfast in Halifax. Wonderful food, but keep in mind you are paying for inflated food costs and for specialty ingredients. Not affordable on my budget, unfortunately.“

“This is my favorite Tim Hortons in Dartmouth! I know all the staff—they are always friendly, positive, and very attentive. Unfortunately, there’s no place to sit inside, but it’s convenient for takeout. I think they should expand this location so I can happily come here with my child during walks and enjoy a cup of coffee.

It’s also essential to add an accessibility button for people with disabilities, so it’s easier to enter with a stroller. But that’s more of a suggestion for the Tim Hortons management.

P.s. ( Elizabeth )“

“OMFG. Best food on earth. You can literally taste the love in the food. I’m sitting hear crying eating my food thinking of my grandma.“

“My friend's and I recently had lunch at La Piazza. The food was absolutely delicious, the service exemplary and the atmosphere is very cozy. The cheesecake is delicious but a tad over priced, as were all the deserts, in my opinion. All in all, a very nice experience and we will definitely be going back for our monthly Ladies Lunch.“

“Had a craving for sweetness, asked representative for surprise me with something, She was friendly and great, came up with better version of timbits, warm cinnamon sugar balls with more chewness and freshness! (It's extra sweet and chew though)And I had Feta and Cheese thingy, She warmed that up and it was best till I ever have. Tastes so fresh even in the evening, Cheese inside and crisp outside is just wow!I just wish they could have sitting table of two atleast.“
