1. Eprint It A Division of St-Joseph Digital Solutions
Halifax, NS B3K 2A1
(902) 492-2700
I've been using these guys for a couple of years now through work, and I have never been disappointed with them. Their staff, particularly Ken, are always friendly and professional. They do quality work, and it doesn't cost a fortune, which is great…More »
2. Susie's Shortbreads
I love sweets. Cakes, pies, cheesecake. If it has sugar in it, I'm all about it. So I thought I would be all about Susie's. Alas, I'm only an occasional fan.
Their cheesecake bites are awesome. I can pick out three or four different flavours for the…More »
3. Subway
Sometimes, you're tired of the same old packed sandwich. Sometimes, you just want a sandwich made by someone else.
This Subway has had some troubled times. Up until a few months ago, the staff was horrendous. I'm talking, "grubby-looking disheveled…More »
4. Cinnabon
Your hands are full with the booty of five hours' worth of powerbuying ("It's on sale! Think of the money I'm actually saving, not spending!") and suddenly, you freeze. Something warm and beautiful has tickled your nose. You're suddenly…More »
5. Montana's Cookhouse & Bar
This is on our Dartmouth restaurant circuit, so we often find ourselves here once every couple of months. It's not like Dartmouth is teeming with restaurants.
Our experience here is much like a bad game of russian roulette; either it's good or it's a…More »
6. McKelvie's
First things first. If you even remotely like seafood, order the mussels. They will arrive in a tin bucket, floating in several inches of wine, butter, and garlic and interspersed with real herb sprigs and lemon wedges. Not only do they look great,…More »
7. Leon's Furniture Ltd
Grab your pyjamas and a pair of clothes, because you're about to venture into Leon's and it will probably take you a day or two to find your way out. This megastore warehouse is absolutely packed with every household item you could possibly ever…More »
8. Cabin Coffee
Peanut butter chocolate rice crispy pin wheels.
Really, that's all the review needs. I can't believe I've worked next door for two years and never knew the joy of these treats until just a few days ago at Ben B's recommendation. I fear I might…More »
9. Walmart
Say what you want about Walmart, it's cheap and convenient, even if I usually leave with a film of shame covering my soul.
The evil corporation gets a bad rap for what it can do to small, community-based local businesses. However, in my pre-career…More »
10. Smitty's Family Restaurant
What started as the ultimate hangover spot quickly became our go-to restaurant when we want homey, down-to-earth comfort food without the effort of making it ourselves.
I've been to several different Smitty's, but this one is by far my favorite. While…More »
11. Metro Transit
I don't drive (gasp!) so I've been relying on public transportation for a decade now.
Taking the bus in this city is a game of chance. There's a chance your bus will arrive on time and you'll make your connection. There's a chance you'll get a…More »
12. Alexandra's Pizza
First off, I enjoy any delivery service that allows me to order online. I loathe talking on the phone (and go figure, I work in customer service) so if I can avoid it, I will. Besides, some places require you to dial a call centre in India with a…More »
13. Foggy Goggle
Argyle street should be renamed Restaurant Row for all the food establishments that load the street. The Foggy Goggle is as good as it gets on this culinary-painted road; the 5-star rating screams as much.
If it's a beautiful and warm sunny day, I…More »
14. Putting Edge
This place is a lot of fun. If you have a fairly decent-size group (6-8), you can stretch out your bang for your buck by easily spending two hours weaving through the neon jungle in the dark. Just be thoughtful and let others play through if you're…More »
15. Bistro Le Coq
It's all in the details, and Le Coq is chock full of them. Throughout our entire lunch, my coworkers and I enjoyed pointing out the little details that really helped build such a lovely restaurant. The rounded walls, whitewashed wood panelling, tin…More »
16. Starbucks
It's nice that this place is within a book store, so if you left your magazine or book at home and want to read while refuelling, or are stocking up on some literary items and need a caffeine fix, you're in the right spot.
That said, I've experienced…More »
17. Eli's Pizzeria
I've ordered from them a few more times, and Eli's is quickly turning into my go-to pizza place of choice.
Their Hawaiian pizza is really good. I also ordered a small order of nachos from them before. This was the first time pizza place nachos were…More »

Wanting to try something new for pizza, the flyer for Eli's conveniently poking out of my mailbox… Read more »
18. Durty Nelly's
This is one of our usual after-work drinks and appies pub option. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, the space is large, and the drinks and appetizers are pretty great. I finally tried it for lunch and was just as pleased. The music, Irish in…More »
19. Shoppers Drug Mart
Pharmacies are not all created equal. Lately the steroid version that is more cosmetic boutique than anything, the ones with the pharmacy counter tucked away in the dark corner upstairs, are cropping up everywhere. I just want to get in, get my cold…More »
20. Barrington Florist
Being in my building, it's always a convenient spot to pick up a gift or a card.
I don't know anything about flowers. I've killed a dozen plants, and not on purpose. I killed a cactus, and those thorny buggers are hard to kill! So when it comes to…More »
21. Classic Fish & Chips
This place is full of retro charm. From the turquoise bench banquettes, the old movie posters and Coca Cola mirrors, this place exudes its namesake of classic decor.
A scant menu gives you the usual fish & chips fare of haddock tips, fillets,…More »
22. Treats Cafe
I stop by here a lot more frequently that I'd like to admit. Located in my building at the bottom of the escalators, it's a very convenient spot to grab a quick snack, a bottle of water, or a cheap lunch if I forgot mine and am running short on…More »
23. Addition Elle
I'm a big girl, there's no way around it. Shopping for me is my own personal version of hell, because there aren't a lot of stores for me to choose from. I always feel comfortable at Addition Elle, though.
The clothes are good, but the staff is…More »
24. KFC
The sweet, sweet beckoning call of the dirty bird calls to me often, but I rarely answer its song. I know the place is absolutely the worst for your body, but sometimes you just have to cave and stuff your maw with greasy, crispy bird.
I'll admit to…More »
25. Bella Ciao
This tiny little outlet inside the Maritime Centre is one of my go-to spots for a custom-made sandwich or pizza when it's too miserable out to leave the office building and I forgot my lunch.
Serving house-made pizzas, a sandwich and salad bar, and a…More »
26. Empire Theatres Dartmouth Crossing
Truth: I feel totally lame reviewing Empire Theatres. This city lacks any competitiveness when it comes to movie theatres. Empire has the monopoly, save for a few small, local places that put on weekly or monthly viewings. As a result, Empire can…More »
27. Strange Adventures Comicbook Shop
Halifax, NS B3J 1K8
(902) 425-2140
Categories:
Hobby Shops,
Comic Books,
Bookstores
As nerdy as I am (you name it, if it has the word Star in it, I've seen it. Papadama and Male Reynolds are my top captains), I'm only a casual comic book reader. Therefore, I don't find cause often enough to visit this place.
However, I do cherish…More »
