CABIN COFFEE REVIEWS

Cabin Coffee offers a cozy escape with a delightful menu that satisfies both the sweet tooth and breakfast cravings. The cinnamon roll is an absolute must-try, boasting a perfect balance of sweetness and comforting spices. Pair it with their breakfast bun for a savory counterpart that's equally scrumptious. The inviting ambiance and friendly service make Cabin Coffee a top pick for a morning treat or a leisurely brunch.

Such a cozy little cafe! The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I ordered an iced Americano and a cinnamon bun. The iced Americano was one of the best I've ever had. Very smooth and flavourful. The cinnamon bun was absolutely to die for. It reminded me of the ones my grandmother used to make.

Wonderful cozy atmosphere that feels like you’re actually sitting in a cabin. That friendly East Coast charm, makes you feel like a local. The breakfast bun with bacon was delicious. Plain & simple good! Plenty of options: bagels, freshly baked scones & gluten free options too. Highly recommend a stop in, you’ll love it!

DILLY DALLY COFFEE CAFE REVIEWS

My favourite Quinnpool coffee shop - you lineup and review the offerings of breakfast sandwiches and muffins, select your coffee, and either wait for takeout or grab a table and they will give you a flag to deliver your order. There are two entrances : one right off Quinnpool and the other one from Vernon, which is accessible with a ramp. To keep traffic moving, no laptops from 9 AM – 3 PM. Free wifi : eatlocal.

Went for lunch on the first day of my trip to Halifax after being welcomed by the adorable decor, and had to came back for breakfast as well. The sandwiches were all on delicious bread, and the muesli for breakfast was so flavorful and filled with fresh fruits. Prices were very reasonable as well. Highly recommend!

This was my first time at Dilly Dally and I see why it's such a popular spot. If you haven't been yet, definitely go! The service, food, and atmosphere are all 5-star. I enjoyed a couple vegan snacks and tea on their patio. The morning glory muffin and pumpkin seed cookie were both delicious!

JAVA BLEND COFFEE ROASTERS REVIEWS

My favourite place in Halifax to go for a coffee and to stock up on beans for home. They have a great selection of drinks and delicious treats in cafe (they even carry GF treats made by a local bakery!). Love the option to be able to order my beans online and have them delivered to my door the next day. Love JB!

Java Blend roasts the best coffee in Halifax! I’m always travelling and absolutely love the ‘Fog City’ Pour overs! Without question, any time I’m in Halifax I’m drinking Java Blend daily and as much as I can, I keep a couple of the pour overs with me in my laptop bag! LOVE JAVA BLEND .

I love this place’s coffee! Great place to go if you’re into different flavours/coffee fanatic in general. I love the seating area in the back, and their retail area! Also…dollar refills ;)
