Glitter Bean - Halifax

This cafe in Halifax is the ultimate queer-friendly spot with a welcoming atmosphere and incredible coffee options. The staff are friendly and amazing. Menu favorites include blueberry tea, iced oat chai latte, iced mocha, citrus glazed sugar cookies, veggie samosa, and dishes with edible glitter. The veggie samosa with mango chutney is a must-try for vegetarians. They also offer dairy-free options and nut-free baked goods for those with dietary restrictions.

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]Dietary restrictions: Oat, soy, and almond milk are available instead of standard cow 's milk.

An essential destination for trendy coffee lovers of all orientations! Every drink and treat I've tried at The Bean has been life-changing. The staff always have the perfect recommendations when I can't decide, and the unique decor, special events, and charming consignment store upstairs make me want to visit every day. But what really stood out was the veggie bagel sandwich I had today - it satisfied a craving I didn't even know I had. The next time you're in the mood for a fun drink or snack, you know where to go! <3

I have visited the Glitter Bean Cafe several times and the food was excellent! The atmosphere was decent, but not very cozy. I admire Glitter Bean's mission and I think there should be more places that are as inclusive as them. However, every time I have visited, the staff were unfortunately very cold and unwelcoming. I am not one to leave negative reviews, but myself and others I have spoken to have felt the same way.

So happy and appreciative to have this cafe in the city! One point of feedback though is that I wish they communicated more when they’re closing early.Not everyone is on socials and most times when they post that there’s an event happening they don’t clarify if the cafe will be closed and when (some events the seating’s stayed opened and others it hasn’t).Putting a sign on the front door or at the register saying they’re closing early and when could help. There’s been a few times I’ve spent over $12 on coffee and a baked good, and then was asked to leave 20 minutes later cause there’s an event.
