Espresso 46

This is hands down my favourite coffee place in Halifax. They’ve become a neighbourhood fixture through their fantastic coffee and pastries (try the bomboloni when it’s available) and the friendliness that the owners and staff show to everyone. Almost anytime I go, I see multiple customers greeted as friends, by name and small conversations struck while drinks are made and orders are rung up. E46 is the model all small local businesses should be striving for; they’ve rooted themselves firmly into the community and it’s hard to picture the North End without them.

Best coffee in Halifax. Always made with love, and worth the wait in line. The baristas seems to make each customer feel special while preparing their drinks. The environment is conducive to sparking random conversations with strangers and other community members, which is a refreshing change from the more insular cafe culture of folks with their laptops and headphones on. This feels like a much needed space for community to converge. Thanks Espresso 46!

Excellent coffee experience. Service is attentive and friendly. Many rave about the pastries and muffins but I’ve not experienced many of the offerings. Coffee is exceptionally good and now serving with their own roasted beans. Don’t let the warehouse vibe scare you away. Not only is it neighborhood gathering spot, but for coffee lovers it’s a destination.

Dropped in for a coffee before work for the first time and was exceptionally impressed. The store front is located in a market for quick to-go, but if you want to stay in they have an absolutely wonderful upstairs dining area. Very cozy and welcoming. I'll definitely be back! The coffee was great, as were the sweats and staff members!
