Adorable place with a very charming atmosphere. Unfortunately, their Sold Out signs on their chalk menus aren't always kept up-to-date throughout the day, so as a result I've only had drinks there so far...but that dosen't stop them from making delicious lattes. The staff can occasionally be hit-or-miss for speed (think getting distracted and sometimes waiting a few minutes to start your drink, if there's no pressure from a line-up behind you.) but I think that's mostly due to some of them being VERY young and still getting their footing, so I really don't mind. They're also always very friendly and the spot has their 'Queer safe-space' reputation for a reason - its the perfect spot for a peaceful breath.

The best cafe and queer safe space in all of Halifax. Amazing coffee options and the entire atmosphere is so welcoming. The staff is also so incredible and friendly. Menu favorites: blueberry tea, iced oat chai latte, iced mocha, citrus glazed sugar cookies, veggie samosa, and anything with edible glitter!

One of my favorite spots in Kjipuktuk! Glitter Bean is a welcoming "chill space" for many queer people in the area. Masks are required while ordering– this small gesture makes a HUGE positive difference to immunocompromised folks like myself. Lots of dairy free and locally sourced options for food and drink. Highly recommend the shop-exclusive Fairy Latte and the ol' faithful Iced Chai Latte. The staff are lovely and the vibes in here are fantastic! [Edit: the space is wheelchair accessible I didn't know!! Sorry about that]

A quintessential queer space for the coolest & hottest of coffee lovers! I’ve never had a drink or treat from the Bean that I didn’t change my life for the better, the baristas have perfect recommendations anytime I’m indecisive, & everything from the decorations & special events to the lovely consignment store upstairs make me want to come back every day. But what really prompted me to leave a review was the veggie bagel sandwich I had today that filled a void I didn’t even know existed. Next time you’re craving a silly drink & snack, you know where to go !!!!! <3

An absolute gem of a place. Excellent food, excellent drinks! We had the grilled cheese and the samosa - everything amazing, even their takeout. Chai latte and fairy latte are amazeballs. We'll definitely return and make this a regular stop, even if outside our neighborhood.
