I love this little, out-of-the-way, coffee shop. The coffee is very good and the food is simple but very tasty. The mood is great, from the books on display, the art on the walls and the cute little back room for cozy convo. Bring your besties.

This is the best kept secret in Halifax. Go for coffee and be surrounded by books and writers with a tasty sandwich or cookie as a bonus chapter. It’s a perfect place to read or write, meet a friend or sit quietly with your own thoughts.

Just had the amazing red pepper bisque, and the mood/space is so calm and welcoming. What a hidden gem!
