A bustling little cafe located in the bottom of an apartment building on Main Street. They serve a variety of fair trade coffees and the best homemade vegetarian food in town.

The Salt Shaker Deli is an italian infused east coast style eatery in "downtown" Lunenburg. (I use the word downtown very loosely because the concentrated shops and cafes only compose about six or seven city blocks). This little deli looked like the…More »

I have a girlfriend who lives near the Uncommon Grounds location on South Park Street, and because she isn't a coffee lover this is where we often find ourselves, looking for fresh treats. (If the decision were based on coffee alone this wouldn't be…More »

My boyfriend had been bugging me for months to go with him to Just Us! before I gave in and decided to go with him. It's not that I don't think he has good taste, but he's not a coffee drinker and I don't take my coffee advice from the inexperienced.…More »

I used to pass through Scotia Square every few days when I would stop in to visit my friend on her breaks. We would only have to stand in line for a few minutes to get our speciality coffee here if we timed it exactly right (about a half an hour…More »

The name is awful, but the atmosphere is hard to beat. Formerly the Almond Cafe, the Humani-T is a very socially conscious cafe located in Super Natural Health Products in Halifax's North End.

  4/11/2010

I'm a bit of a bookworm, so when my boyfriend shops with me he knows that I set aside a few hours to browse through whichever bookstore is handy. Chapters in Dartmouth (which is a part of the Mic Mac Mall), usually fits the bill perfectly and even…More »

Smiling Goat has long been my go to place for a good (and we're talking quality) cup of coffee on the morning walk to work. When it comes to variety and taste, it's true, they are simply the best. Everything you buy here will be roasted and filtered…More »

(902) 429-2326

Categories: Coffee & Tea, Diners

3.0 star rating
  3/21/2010

From the outside Coburg Coffee House looks like a cute little cafe, it disappoints me that that vibe is nowhere to be found once you step inside. The decor was mainly art from a local artist, and the paintings were all kind of unsettling. It was…More »

  4/19/2010 First to Review

Perks Panini Kabob Cafe and Grill is a really complicated title but it does well to describe the style of establishment it represents.

The "Perks" part of the name represents the coffee shop of course and serves great hot beverages. The "panini"…More »

I'm insistent that those four painted muskoka chairs that sit outside of Cabin Coffee are there to catch you eye and make you crave coffee. At least that is what happens to me whenever I pass on Hollis Street.

My favorite thing about visiting Cabin…More »

As a former Starbucks barista I have high expectations every time I order a cup, and those expectations are usually met. Anytime someone is paying $4.00 for a coffee they share these same expectations, and that includes the service I receive. While…More »
