The Old Apothecary - Halifax

Really nice place, excellent ambience, friendly staff. My only complaint is that at around 9:30am on a weekday there were only three types of bakery goods on the shelves, though all looked yummy, and fresh. Perhaps because they only sell freshly baked bakery goods is why the selection was limited. Nevertheless, the selection still served me well. Excellent, I recommend this place to anyone visiting Halifax!

The difficulty of choosing what to eat whenever I visit the cafe, so many sweet savoury options! Lattes are great, service has always been friendly! It is great that the cafe is accessible with a stroller and there is room for it unlike in many other cafes. Don't be fooled by the limited seating downstairs, there is more upstairs!

Have yourself a pourover and buy a baguette when you leave, pretty place and friendly staff

I absolutely love The Old Apothecary. The espresso made drinks are well crafted and the desserts are tasty without being too sweet. Not to mention the interior is a fascinating mix of old furniture with a pop twist that makes for a comfy and welcoming space. Personal favourites include cortados, strawberry shortcakes, apple donuts, pumpkin chai lattes, and chocolate almond croissants. They are my go to place for catering orders and worked with my husband and I to create a beautifully unique wedding cake. On top of that they assembled fifty strawberry shortcakes, on site, that had my guests asking for more. My cousin even admitted to having three. We also hosted our engagement party there and are already planning our Christmas party as we speak. Needless to say I am an enormous fan who is counting down the days till apple donuts are back.

Best spot for espresso in all of halifax, also the best homemade treats ever. my favourite spot in the whole city.
