Love the helpful staff here, they are always able to make a few suggestions oh new drinks to try.They always have at least three coffees on the go so weather you fancy mild, medium or dark roast they have got something just right for everyone. I also like that you can mix in your own cream and sugar so you can get it just right every time!
There are so many different roasts to try which keeps me going back! -

Review from Ben B.
This beautiful building just off the highway to the valley is almost the perfect distance from the city - you'll get there just around the time that you think you're going to need another hit of caffeine and Just Us can certainly deliver with its fair trade selection. While it's never my favourite coffee, visiting has become a tradition for just about any trip and it's always great to take a stroll through either the garden outside, or the mini-museum inside.
I actually find their great effort in providing breakfast and lunch fare an unexpected treat but sometimes it can be hard to enjoy. In the summers the shop suffers from a horsefly invasion that can be off-putting if you forget that you are out in the country now. -

This place had been well recommended prior to my arrival by a friend who knew just how much I love real coffee. No, not Tim Horton's, I'm talking real coffee here. Just Us have built a business around ethics, producing a product that's fair from top to bottom. This is admirable but those of us who frequent such places know that good intentions don't always spill out into the cup or onto the plate.
I ordered a plain black coffee and a morning glory muffin to start my day off. The coffee is excellent, a well-roasted dark roast that wasn't so burned as to provide no character (I'm looking at you, Starbucks) but head and shoulders above the Canadian chains one may experience on a daily basis. The muffin was terrific, a little divergent from the traditional but baked properly and assembled from good, tasty ingredients.
I'm sad I live so far away, but those of you nearby would be hard pressed to find a better cafe in the area. Good stuff! -

Everything you could want in a coffee shop and more! The coffee is good and there are numerous flavour options. Just Us! also does fair trade, organic tea, chocolate, hot cocoa, and raw sugar. There's even a museum explaining where/how coffee is grown! It also maps out how the beans make their way to Canada and how coffee grower co-ops work. This is a Nova Scotia company. Please support it.

Even before we ever moved to Halifax, we visited often and the first Just Us that we ever went to is still my favorite. You can find it on Highway 1 just after the Grand Pre exit.
First - the view of apple orchards won my heart - nothing like a sea of pink blossoms heralding in the earliest signs of summer, to make a place stand out in one's mind. Once you enter, things get even better...that wonderful aroma of freshly ground and brewed coffee fills the air.
Now, one could just order coffee and a baked good and be perfectly content, but you'd be missing half the fun. This (at least to my knowledge) is the only one with a small museum and shop spotlighting the fair trade agreement Just Us has with their partners in Ethiopia and Columbia, just to name a couple of grower partners.
It is a privilege to shop in a place that really supports rather than exploits other lands.
