CafÉ Lara - Halifax

Great place to hangout with the stranger you just met or if you're going on a coffee date with the girl you just met in the bus. Awesome work-slash-study environment. Timely preparation and friendly staffs. I wish I could give the extra star but during my visit, my cocoa had a bit too much milk in it that it almost overpowered the cocoa. The first few sips were great until a bit later when the cocoa taste started to fade rather quickly.

Very clean. The atmosphere is nice but the music is loud. It has good variety of coffee and teas and other cold drinks. Their coffee and tea are good. It is environment friendly and they bake their own pies, they have other food options as well. Parking can easily be found but the cafe itself is small and can get busy.

I'll start off by saying it's excellent. The location is great, right in a pretty active part of Halifax. The cafe itself opens up on hot summers days for some fresh air while also having some outdoor seating. The beverages were excellent with a cold option being very welcome. We had a iced coffee (black) and a matcha latte (no sugar or sweetener) as well as a chocolate coconut ball. The iced coffee was good, not bitter, just a smooth cup of cold coffee. The iced matcha was good as well, with a strong enough matcha taste. The star was the coconut ball. I am however a bit biased toward coconut. A good dark chocolate taste coated every coconut piece. Prices was good, average for the locale and quality of goods.

Wonderful gem, lovely ambient and nice service. I tried the coffe and the croissant and both were good. They have small selection of food and drinks but their coffee is good. Lara, the owner is so sweet and friendly and has her family photos on the place. There is also a small bar in the place.

It was my first time there. All I had was a latte but it was delicious my first one and I just like the whole atmosphere of the place. Plus it's just around the corner from where I live...
