Narrow Espresso

My favourite coffee in the city hands down. HOWEVER: have heard rumblings that the owner isn’t great to his staff. Cashiers seem to be in constant rotation. They also frequently display copies of a “Police Vision” magazine… Meaning they either have a subscription or are going out of their way to buy copies on their own. This is really not what I like to see given the questionable behaviour displayed by local and global police in recent years (racial profiling, destruction of the shelters of houseless people, etc etc). Service is quick, drinks are to die for and all the baked goods I’ve tried have been tasty. In this warmer months I enjoy sitting outside but this isn’t a place I would ever come to to study as there are only two very small tables inside, fair warning they have a wasp problem in the summers. I still come here though because I’m in and out so quickly the wasps are not a concern for me.

Such a quirky, beautiful little place!! I had a pumpkin spice soy latte, which was good. I was a little taken aback by the teabag in the coffee itself as I’m accustomed to pumpkin spice syrups, but it added a hint of ✨cozy rustic✨ (I liked it!!). Also this place provides syrups for you to sweeten your drinks with at no additional cost! Also not accustomed to this and I think it shows a care for individual customization. This place is narrow!! Like really narrow. Like vertical storage narrow. This narrowness somehow made me feel really safe and cocoon-y. I would honestly LIVE here if I could (little hammock hanging from the ceiling). One thing: there were lots of wasps here when I went (early October).

Always, always, always a great cup of coffee. They use the North Mountain brew of coffee. I get a dark roast, but usually it’s the ginger latte that is my go to. Pair it with a cinnamon bun and you have the perfect start to the day. The owner and his staff are the best - always friendly, great service. Best coffee place in Halifax hands down.
