    Ramblers is that Cafe that you always thought you'd end up being a regular at in your late 20s. or early 30s. It has the atmosphere that feels kind of like your artsy, erudite friend's house. It's cozy and intimate, and you're sure to start a conversation. The food is locally sourced, the coffee is perfect, the drinks are aesthetically gorgeous. This place is an instant community hub, and an awesome place to introduce yourself to the city's most talented local music. Ramblers pairs well with the neighbourhood's most notable fixtures - Dee Dee's Ice Cream and the Commons are just up the street, and LF Bakery and Seven Bays Bouldering Gym are a little ways in the other direction. Stop in for awhile!

    Amazing place! Love the atmosphere, super chill. Great blend on modern and industrial aesthetic. I hid out here for my online classes, low traffic in the morning. Staff were amazing! Light is a little dim, but great ambient vibe. Coffee is pretty good, definitely a hidden gem in Halifax...

    Very nice place for lunch. We ordered the soup which was carrot and ginger, I really liked it it was full of flavor. I would have preferred without the small chunks of carrots so that it would have been creamier but I guess it’s just a personal choice. The kimchi sandwich was also very very nice. The first half I ordered was not hot, I guess I should have told them but was too hungry so it wasn’t as nice as I expected. I ordered it again and this it came nice and hot. The gingerbread cookie was super tasty. Staff is super nice.

    Beautiful little cafe tucked in the north end. Gets packed real quickly, so go early if you want a table. Drinks and breakfast sandwich were delicious. Just another great addition to Halifax's many coffee shops - certainly worth stopping by!

    Very tasty Vanilla Latte in a nice cafe. Cool that they offer alcoholic drinks too for an evening!

    Didn't know what time they closed since the hours aren't accurate on google and when I stopped in at 4:50 with my girlfriend every single barista gave dirty looks and stared us down instead of just telling us they close at 5, when we went up to order the barista was pretty unfriendly and told us they are closing in 10 minutes so we just said sorry we didn’t know and left. Pretty awkward experience overall.

    Ramblers is the perfect spot rain or shine, the cinnamon buns are worthy of worship, the breakfasts are delightful, the drinks are beautiful, and the staff and owners are warm and welcoming. It’s so nice to have a place that feels like home where you can stop in and see the whole neighbourhood. Endless love for Ramblies 💞✨☕️🍰

    Stopped by for a morning coffee and liked this cute neighbourhood coffee shop. The music was pretty loud for first thing in the morning (8am) but it’s a nice place to go if you’re looking for a hit of caffeine. Some cute pups stopped by too!

    I just spent an absolutely delightful evening at Ramblers. I went solo with the intention of watching the band ended up meeting an absolutely delightful group of people to socialize with while we enjoyed the fantastic music. I love this little venue and I hope to come again. Of course I had a couple of drinks and the pastry which just added to the evening. See you soon!

    Ramblers, you had me at warm blueberry scones! With great coffee and warm decor as a bonus. I had the chance to stay at my friend’s place around the corner for a week and came every morning you were open to work a bit. It allowed me to see how popular you are. I noticed the regulars: the guy reading a thick book, the other one with his fluffy puppy, the old friends meeting for coffee, the students gathering with their computer… It is worth walking around the café to enjoy the cluster of colourful houses.

    The breakfast sandwich is a 10. Coffee is a 10. Ambiance is a 10. Now go quickly.

    Fantastic spot, 30 seconds away from the Commons. Beautiful, unique interior, friendly staff and top-notch espresso drinks. This place merits a shout-out, and I highly recommend it to any coffee-lover!

    If you are in the mood for having a coffee at a cozy place in the morning, this place is highly recommended. Their egg pastry is really yum to have in the breakfast. And the interesting thing about this place is that this cafe turns to a bar to enjoy the drinks in the evening.

    Great little neighbourhood gem. Relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and great vibe (check out their creative use of reclaimed wooden boards), excellent coffee (by Espresso 46) and tasty home-made baking.

    We go every Saturday morning for a coffee and pastry and hang at ramblers. It feels like having coffee in your living room but someone else makes it for you. we love ramblers and so do our babies

    One of the best Coffee shops in Halifax. I so much enjoy the cappuccino coffee and the ambience is great. The owners are also very pleasant people. You should get your coffee at Ramblers Coffee anytime.

    My husband and I stopped by on their opening day. Our usual orders are macchiato dry and an Oat latte. Both were fabulous and the owners/baristas made us feel welcome immediately. Since then, we have been regularly waking up early and walking from dartmouth to halifax to grab some caffeine from one of our favourite cafes and snatch up their delightful cranberry scones! What a fantastic addition to the community.

    Elly's blueberry scones are perfect, the coffee is always excellent and you can tell the owners care a whole lot about the community. Ramblers is a great addition to the neighbourhood!
