Here's where I get my java on, whether it's my daily coffee fix or a bit of a treat like a latte or cappuccino.

 1. Local Jo Cafe & Market

2959 Oxford St
Halifax, NS B3L 2W3
(902) 455-6225
3.0 star rating
  7/16/2011

I've tried local jo on a few occasions now, and my experiences here have largely been good. I love the casual, homey yet colorful atmosphere. I've never gone during peak hours, so I haven't experienced the bottle-necking and lack of tables some…More »

 2. Hami's Cafe & Catering - CLOSED

79 Alderney Dr
Dartmouth, NS B2Y 2N7
(902) 406-1777
4.0 star rating
  4/2/2011

Hami's Cafe is a pleasant addition to the downtown Dartmouth scene. I walked in from a blustery day, and the warm, vibrant decor was very inviting. A few other patrons were scattered throughout the place, but there were many tables to choose from.…More »

5.0 star rating
  2/26/2011 ROTD 6/15/2011

I'm not sure there's anything I can add that hasn't already been said. But let me say this: if you still haven't experienced Two if By Sea Cafe, then get your butt on over to Dartmouth. You won't regret it.

I was here the very first day this place…More »

(902) 405-4022
4.0 star rating
  1/30/2011

If you're in search of weekend brunch and want to try something new and different - this is it. I suggest reviewing the menu online before you go, because it's going to be a tough choice and you'll be ordering at the counter. Personally, I always…More »

 5. Tim Hortons

244 Waverley Rd
Dartmouth, NS B2X 2C4
(902) 435-0000
2.0 star rating
  10/3/2011 First to Review

This location is minutes away from my doorstep, so I visit a lot. I'm not usually pulled together enough on weekdays to get out of the house on time to pick up a coffee on the way to work, but on weekends? I dig that I can  jump in the car (in my…More »

Halifax, NS B3K 2A2
(902) 454-6277
4.0 star rating
  10/13/2011 First to Review

This location of Tim Hortons gets it right. It's an incredibly busy spot, but the staff keeps things moving at a good pace, both in-store and in the drive-thru. Most importantly, the coffee is consistently good here, as is everything else.

3.0 star rating
  10/30/2011 First to Review

What is it about my hood that makes it impossible to get a decent cup of coffee? I decided to branch out from my usual Tim Hortons up the street in hopes I could find a better option for my weekend coffee fix. Alas, it was not to be. My coffee is…More »

After reading Rhia P.'s brunch review for this spot, I decided it was time I finally paid a visit. I work close by, but never got around to trying it out.

I planned on a leisurely solo Sunday brunch before hitting up the Halifax Crafters Market. My…More »

I've been coming to MacAskill's for years, yet I've only had a few meals here. A couple of my girlfriends and I used to come on Friday nights for dessert and coffee. What kept us coming back? The quiet, comfortable lounge (prettier now due to a…More »

So I'm cheating slightly on my May Day Yelpspiration review for today: Sunrise Specialties. I've never visited this spot  in the morning, but it's coffee so we're cool, right?

I don't frequent Starbucks very often in general, but I really like this…More »

Okay, maybe that's a little exaggerated, but brunch is my favourite weekend meal. Sometimes I simply want greasy breakfast. Sometimes I want to try something fresh and different. More often than not, I'm searching for my Sunday soulmate: the perfect eggs benny.
