    Great coffee :) great vibes, beautiful decor. I went for my first time, it was a bit busy, but that always means it's good. I also had the caprese croissant sandwhich and it's was classic! Delicious. Lovely to have on a buttery croissant. A decent amount of vegetarian options, would recommend this place just for the coffee. I want to know their roaster or if they roast themselves!

    A simply amazing Italian Café! Located just off spring garden this vibrant Cafe has something for everyone! I've visited a few times and have never been disappointed. The space is beautifully designed, with lots of natural light making it an excellent place to enjoy a coffee and get some work done. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    The Pastrami on sourdough is awesome. Great bread. Great meat. Prosecco soaked pear Danish was tasty. Really nice place. Would be a regular if I lived in Halifax. They also have some gluten free options so my wife didn't have to just sit there and watch me stuff my face.

    Their sweets are amazing. There’s enough sitting space. I tried their devilish chocolate cake and a cup of cappuccino. Can highly recommend it. They also have a lot of salty options like sandwiches, and paninis. They use illy (Italian coffee) in their coffee machines. If you’re in Halifax, and a fan of cafes, this is a good place to be. 😃

    I loved this place in Halifax!! Visited it twice on my trip. Their croissants are the best!! If you want the creamiest Chai Latte please go here. The mocha was delicious. The pannini breakfast sandwich is very filling and very good. I never had cream puffs before and I must say they have set the bar very high now. Tiramisu and Pistachio are the flavours to go for!!

    Saw this place on Tik Tok and so glad I did. Popped in the morning before I left Halifax and was blown away by all the mouthwatering treats and sandwiches they had (wish I got one of everything). Their Iced Latte was one of the best I’ve had and so were the Croissants. I will be going back the next time I’m in Halifax!

    What a lovely experience. We chose this place for our breakfast on the first day of our visit to Halifax and we'd love to go back there again. Such bright, lovely spot, fresh flowers, fresh baked goodies. We tried the eggplant parmigiana sub, bursting with flavors, caprese sandwich on a croissant, and the hazelnut filled croissant. Everything on spot, beautiful presentation. Busy spot on weekends and lovely patio in warm weather.

    Very good Italian cafe. Large selection of baked goods and pastries. A little pricey but it's a nice place to just hang out, chat about business, or read a newspaper. Wouldn't recommend studying here though since it can get a little noisy for my tastes. The interiors are gorgeous and Instagram worthy however you may have a hard time finding seating since there isn't many. In the summer they have a few more patio seats outside but it's still rather sparse. Most customers seem to just get take out. Staff and service are very friendly. Overall, really love the European vibe.

    Amazing! Definitely worth the plane ticket from Ontario…I will be thinking about that supreme croissant for ages (buttery! Flaky! Soft! Sweet!) Also good coffee, chai tea, and strawberry Basil lemonade. Staff were friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere, too. You should go!

    A beautiful cafe to hangout alone or with your friends. I tried the pistachio raspberry bavarois and it was delicious. The coffee was great as well. Place was clean and the staff was friendly. Would definitely visit again.

    So good! I got their turkey panini (suggested to me by the person at cash). It tasted amazing and was decently sized ($14 + tax). Their iced latte was great too! They have nice espresso here and their vanilla syrup is lovely. A lot of their seats & tables face the windows which is nice but can be a little bit awkward when catching up with a friend.

    Overall a great breakfast experience. Came for a nice brunch on our trip to Halifax and absolutely loved our meal and the ambiance. Got a matcha latte, breakfast panini, stuffed croissant, and a Danish. All of the food was immaculate. The vibe of the store is also really clean and comfortable. Great choice

    Service was amazing! Once they knew that I had a special occasion today, they brought a surprise. Truly made my day!! I love this place, always lovely to have a sip of coffee and relax in :)

    Lovely Italian coffee. The decor is incredible and so European! #Fresh The pastry varity looks delicious, croissants but also tiramisu or paninis. I had a breakfast panini, just the right size, ingredients and flavors, yummy! My latte was really good and the croissant very Frenchy level ❤️ They have an outdoor sitting place, perfect for summer get together. They also serve gelato and sell a lot of fine high end product to go wow!

  • 5/5 Daniel R. 10 months ago on Google
    Really nice cafe, with an excellent choice of cakes, macaroons, chocolates, fresh bread, fresh croissants & other pastries! Well worth a visit and we will definitely go back again for a focaccia sandwich as they looked great! 10/10

    I spent the whole day working there during my trip to Halifax. It’s an amazing Italian cafe with delicious drinks, pastries and sandwiches. They have vegetarian options for their sandwiches, their pastries all look amazing. The vibe is great! Overall highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Amanda 6 months ago on Google
    Delicious pastries, especially the key lime tart. Other ones to try are the fresh blueberry, salted caramel, and passionfruit. The smoked salmon croissant and the breakfast panini were enjoyable as well. Prices are high but I will absolutely go back for the key lime tart without hesitation.

  • 5/5 Guilherme D. G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent coffee and pastries. Best almond croissant I’ve ever had. Beautiful ambiance too, but be prepared to wait to find a table.

    Went here as been walking past it a couple times and thought it was time to finally go in. Got two ice lattes and dessert and everything was amazing. The atmosphere was amazing, the service was amazing and the price was really good. Definitely will be back to try some of the cheese and other savoury items

  • 5/5 Rasha Al H. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere is amazing .. food and service are good .. our coffee came cold but when we provide comments of such, we were offered new coffee for all of us! That was very nice of them. If you like your coffee hot you need to tell them ahead so you would be handed it right away. You order and pay before you have a seat, but they will bring your order to your table. Coffee were delicious

    Had a beer here and my wife ordered a chai latte. We also shared a carrot cake. The prices were not expensive. Beautiful little cafe, wonderful ambience and nice staff! Would recommend this place!

    A very interesting cafe restaurant to visit. If you are looking for a decent but affordable date during day time or catch up with your friends and colleagues; this is a decent spot to visit in HFX downtown area. Luv the cakes; they were adorable with cute presentations. We'll comeback again. :)

🫤 Overall experience was not pleasant. This was recommended by my friend, so we thought to give it a try. Bartenders was fantastic, very professional and helpful all around, however, the waitress on the other side was completely different. Not only she forget to check on our table for about 35 minutes...
