I love coffee. A lot. I drink it black and often. I've tried a lot of beans - local and not - and Java Blend is my daily coffee fix. I'm a big fan of their Aztec dark roast. I like it so much that I will drag around my travel mug AND an extra…More »
Before moving to Halifax, I was confused by the idea of a drive-through cappuccino shack. Now I understand: it is awesome. The Canadiana is a coffee lover's dream come true. While it is weird to stand in line between two cars, you're allowed to walk…More »

I remember when Fred opened and people talked about it being too gentrified and uppity for the North End, even for Halifax. Those people were totally wrong. This is one of my favourite places in the city. My hairdresser Krista is amazing. The space…More »
I don't actually love Dartmouth, but I do love TIBS. I sometimes feel like I'm eating a giant piece of chocolate wrapped in a stick of butter, but that's okay. I know what I'm getting into and it is the tastiest stick of butter around.
Maybe I've…More »
I love the baked goods. Their pain au chocolat is one of my favourite things in life. And I really dig their breads. Their coffee, however, is so-so to not so good. If they could make a better cup of coffee, I would probably move in.
I've only visited this particular location once, so I'm prepared to go back and give it another go. Based on this visit on a Sunday morning, the staff seemed a little less than into their jobs - I felt like I was causing them trouble because they…More »
The coffee is good - not my favourite, but still some of the best in the city - and I enjoy the baked goods and samosas. The update to the downstairs seating area is great - more open and more places to sit (I haven't been upstairs lately, so I don't…More »
I don't love the coffee here. Actually, I don't love the coffee at any Second Cup. It's always just meh for me. Better than Tim Horton's, but not as good as a lot of other places. They do have a tasty oatcake and the staff at this location are…More »

Inside is small and always kind of crowded, but I do like it a lot. Steve-o's serves some of my favourite coffee in all of Halifax. Maybe even in my top five coffees of all time. I love their Americano and Canadianas, but usually go for a straight up…More »
Despite having some of the most inconsistent muffins in town, I'm a fan.
The coffee is Java Blend, the atmosphere is the kind of cabin no one actually has, but everyone wishes they did, and the food is good. You make a decent corn chowder (sans…More »
For starters, any place that lets me say "zucchini panini" is a good place in my books. And when they back that rhyming sandwich up with something seriously tasty? Well, you've pretty much nailed it when it comes to lunch.
But for reals and for true,…More »

I adore this place. The coffee is delicious and always fresh. They once explained that they never put on huge carafes of coffee because they want to make a better cup of coffee for you. When someone explains this to you, it makes it ok that you…More »
