My friends and I went there for brunch on a Sunday. There was about a 45 min wait, but the food was definitely worth it! I ordered the Durty Bird, and it was excellent. Portion size was generous, and the coffee was hot and tasty. I’d definitely go back; perhaps a little earlier in the day to avoid the long wait, but once we were seated, the food arrived fairly quickly!

So good to be true. Very lovely little joint for the best breakfast you can have in Halifax area. It is very busy on weekends so expect longer waiting time until they find a place for you. Food is incredible and the customer service is a top notch. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing breakfast/ brunch option. The best brunch sandwich I have ever had !! It's a very small place so you will be waiting but it's worth it. The coffee is also fantastic. You order at the counter ahead of time. I love the dirty bird

Great service but food was subpar. Waffles were very hard and chewy and slightly burnt, my dirty bird croque was way too sweet (and I love sugar) — it needed something else to balance it, my sisters regular dirty bird was suppsedly good. The menu hasn’t changed much since it opened years ago, maybe they need an update. I don’t think I’d come again

Wow such an awesome brunch! A must! Got the Huevos Rancheros which was EXCELLENT! My partner got the Elvis which was also super tasty. Make sure you get there right when they open to avoid waiting. There's <10 tables inside and the wait list fills up quickly!

Don't judge a book by it is cover. The outside doesn't look so good. However it hides some amazing food. The service was great, but the food was terrific. I would eat here again, it's like a hidden gem.

All the hype regarding this cafe is warranted. It is my first stop every time in Halifax and Never disappoints! Recently ordered one of the specials, “The Southerner” Simply delicious!

Yummy, no fuss food. Great prices, great service, and great veggie options. New go-to for brunch!

I love they have 3 eggs option and they serve fast. I wanted to give 5 but there was really a man speaks so loud even though he was two tables away. It is small cafe and it is your luck to have peaceful time in the cafe. I heard his ex-girlfriend's life. Most times I can ignore (that is one of benefit of second lanague english speaker), but he was way to loud to ignore.

My favourite brunch spot in Halifax. In fact I haven’t found many like it outside of Halifax either. I make sure to eat here at least once every time I’m visiting. There are a few staples on the menu (Durty Burd, Huevos Rancheros, The Elvis, etc) but are also rotating some new and innovative ideas through the other menu slots. Overall, I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve gotten!

Always excellent food. The server was super friendly. The food was delicious and the willingness for the kitchen to make any changes you needed was excellent. Can't go wrong at this spot!

The Coastal can’t be beat! I’ve been to this place several times and always make an effort to take any friends who are visiting here for brunch. The food is consistently amazing and service is extremely personable.

Amazing place for breakfast/brunch. Small, intimate, and the food is to die for. If there isn't a table ready, head over to the counter to get on the wait list - It's worth the wait, promise. I had the Huevos Rancheros and oh..my... that mole crema is incredible. The staff were even nice enough to let me take a little extra home with me! A Halifax gem. Go there.

Amazing servers and pretty awesome dishes. Swift service despite a busy room. Not sure if they take reservations, but they will put you on a waiting list during their busier times. One of the best brunches we've found in the HRM. Try em out for sure.

Was on a road trip with family to the east coast from Toronto and was looking up a good breakfast place to try out. Saw great reviews on this small cute cafe so decided to check it out even though many reviews mentioned the line ups are long and that it’s very hard to go with a big group. There was 6 of us and we were not picky with our seating arrangement. We were seated within 30 mins or so on a weekday around 9:30am. 2 of us sat at a table for 2 and the rest of us sat close by on high chairs by the front window. They really know how to quickly get people in and out without making you feel rushed. They have a system where they take your order before getting seated to reduce the wait time on your food once seated. We ordered coffee too, which we got right away while waiting. Their coffee was really good coffee and came with free refills. The system they have works great and didn’t compromise on the quality of the meal as it still came out hot. I got The Heidi which was a poached egg on smoked salmon with dill pickled red onion on a toasted bagel. It was amazing. If I lived in the area I would totally be a regular here. Service was fast and great, food was delicious and the coffee was tasty! Totally worth the wait and I highly recommend you give it a try!
