I have no idea what the food is like at the Lion's Head. I go there for the karaoke and just that. Honestly, the karaoke at this joint is a cornucopia of awesomeness. The regulars are fantastic and are supportive of everyone who gets up to sing -…More »
Surprisingly tasty! The place looks kind of sketchy on the outside - I don't think the outside or the inside has been updated since it opened. But don't let that sketchy exterior fool you! Inside is tasty, tasty Chinese food.
Is it authentic? I have…More »
You guys! Apparently the nutella muffin is back! This is huge. It's my official muffin.
I like more than the muffin though. I'm a big fan of the huevos rancheros and have trouble ordering anything else (I have and I've enjoyed it, but I can't recall…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 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.
They claim they have everything and if they don't, they will get it for you. I don't know if this is true, but it is possibly the friendliest convenience store I have ever been to. The owner seems to know all of his regulars by name and is super…More »
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 »
I've only ever eaten breakfast here, but that's exactly why I love it. Affordable, no fuss diner breakfast with unlimited coffee refills. I love that the menu tells me it's $5.99, taxes included. I can't do math, so I like it when the restaurant does…More »
I should love this place, I want to love this place, but I don't. I think the atmosphere doesn't jive with me. Having said that, the food makes up for that.
What I do love: tasty bread (it's better as toast than for sandwiches. I find it crumbles…More »
I feel like I've already reviewed Pizza Town before. Possibly under a different spelling (as Pizzatown?). Whatever. I'll review it again!
This isn't gourmet pizza, but you don't go there for gourmet. They make a solid, straight up pizza. My favourite…More »
What can I say? It's a drug store and it's big.
I do like that it's well-laid out with a fancy-ish cosmetics department (I'm a sucker for cosmetics). I wish they had more of the fancier brands you find at the Spring Garden location - like Benefit or…More »
Okay, my fandom for this place comes with a serious disclaimer: this place is kind of sketch. But in a lovable neighbourhood pub kind of way.
It's pretty much the opposite of fancy, but no one is trying to be fancy here. They're just doing what…More »
