    Eggs Benny (vegetarian)
    Lola D.

    Don't be misled by the small space with mismatched formica tables, the food is fantastic, and all homemade and local. I've always walked by, but never entered. This lazy Saturday, i decided to stop in with my mother and son. Annie is a delight, seeming to know everyone in her packed cafe. It is definitely a neighbourhood joint. In fact, i even saw my own neighbour there. One of Halifax's best kept secrets, it would seem. PS, they only take cash. They do have Square, but it is completely unreliable.

    Today was my first visit to Annie's Place after getting up at an ungodly hour, leading to an awkard wait for businesses in the Spring Garden area to unlock their doors. It's now located in a new spot (as opposed to the old location shown in the photos) where it has lost a bit of the exterior charm, but popping in for breakfast turned out to be 100% worth it. The space feels sort of like a little tea café from a small town, transplanted directly into the heart of Halifax - the best of both worlds in my books. Annie herself was gearing up behind the counter at 7am and we both commiserated with morning grumbles as I looked over the menu. The selection is small but mighty - eggs, toast, ham, bacon, pancakes, french toast, organic coffees, a full espresso menu - pretty much anything you could want. Plus, as some of the regulars showed off, I learned that you can go off-menu to a certain extent as long as it's a combination of the main components. I had a delicious veggie omelet that came with four thick slices of toasted homemade bread that was so good I want to go back and punch Dr. Atkin's in the face. $7 plus tax. BOOM. While I stuck around, Annie knew most of her customers by name, thanked every single one for popping in, telling the 'coffee to-go' customers that she wishes they could stay so she could make them a proper breakfast, and even joined one of her regulars for her own breakfast. It was a lovely touch that she even extended to this newcomer, making sure to ask my name and chat a bit as I settled up. It was calm and quiet between 7-8am, a perfect spot to regroup before a busy day. *Might be cash-only...I forgot to ask but didn't see any credit/debit machinery. *Celiac-friendly: Annie told me she makes gluten-free bread (available by the loaf) and has a separate toaster. She's also tried more elaborate gluten-free meals but also admits knowing when not to risk it for those with heightened sensitivities.

    With such a beautiful place, its sad that they aren't more motivated. I love this place! It looks beautiful inside and out. When you walk inside, you quickly discover that it is small but very quaint. The ambiance was just perfect! All they needed to make it five stars after that was quality food, good customer service and free wireless Internet. And that's when this review takes a turn for the worse. I would rate food and customer service average. Unfortunately the free wireless Internet gets no rating simply because it doesn't exist. I asked about that to which they told me that they are too small for it to make sense for their business. The store also closes at 3pm on weekdays. The customer service was friendly. They just seemed a bit depressed. But they were friendly despite the lack of smiles and also very helpful. As for the food, I had a small muffin that was fluffy and not too thick. It had some taste to it but wasn't that impressive. I loved the decaf coffee I had however. And friends of mine who went with me enjoyed their cappuccino's. So food and drink deserve a solid, average rating. Nothing stood out however which is why I can't say they were extraordinary. It seems as though the owner of this store, Annie I believe her name is, thinks too defensively from a business perspective. She's right that the store is small, seats around ten or fifteen people, but if you aren't getting customers, don't take away from people, add more things that increase the value of your coffee shop such as free wireless Internet and better store hours. "If you build it, they will come," seems to make a lot of sense for a store like this. But for now, if you don't need Internet, which I can't imagine how you wouldn't, and you want a nice, peaceful atmosphere, this is definitely a good place to go.

    I'd give here a 3.5 actually. I came on freezing Saturday in January, having to park in Park Lane because I couldn't find any available meter on the street within a block's radius. When I came in and sat down, the owner greeted me immediately, asking if I live in the area because she hadn't seen me before. So I assume there are lots of regulars here. I ordered a coffee, then while looking around, noticed the cash only sign. These days I rarely carry cash, so I had to excuse myself to go find an ATM in the area. I couldn't find one for my own bank within the block either, so gave up and picked up some items at Pete's, then drove to get breakfast on my way back to Clayton Park. Disappointing that I didn't get to try the place that day. So came back this past Saturday, parked on Sackville Street, and had cash with me. I took a two seater table by the window and Annie greeted me again, asking my name this time. I noticed the few other people there definitely seemed to be regulars. There is only seating for maybe a dozen tops, but luckily it wasn't too busy, if five people counts as busy? lol Simple little place with some random artwork, a chalkboard menu, nothing fancy. I ordered the veggie omelet for $10 and it was very filling. Took maybe 5 minutes to bring to my table. The homemade bread/buttered white toast was good, the home fries had a strong oregano flavor with onions and mushrooms sauteed on the side. I'd definitely come back here, but could be easily discouraged if it's hard to find parking.

    Took me 4 years to discover this amazing breakfast spot! Cora's and Smitty's have a regular taste that any breakfast spot may have but Annie's Cafe has excellent food made with love and care! The cafe is very cosy and Annie is very welcoming! A must visit in Halifax.

Super friendly dude with a delicious menu. Also, handled a curveball really well. It started raining during the rehearsal dinner and he improvised and made it all work!

    I love me the Nomad Gourmet…read more My first experience was at a Local Connections Halifax event linked up with Propeller Beer. Bought a ticket, got beer and NG burgers. It was beer and burger heaven for the evening. My second experience was sampling their sausages on a bun when checking out the Man Show part of the Exhibition Park Christmas Craft Fair. One thing is clear, you don't have to be a man to enjoy the tasty morsels being served up from the NG kitchen. And then this weekend I got to try breakfast Nomad style. I chose to "build my own breakfast' for $4. The way this works is you get an egg and hash browns and add on things at your choosing for extra $. I added some bacon and got the BEST BACON of my life. It was perfectly grilled and made my weekend. The egg was fried egg perfection and there were too many hash browns for me to eat. The hash browns are real local potatoes cooked on the grill and have a charbroiled taste to them. Pro-tip - NG will now be at the Halifax Seaport Market on weekend mornings as long as there isn't a cruise ship in harbour. Extra Pro-tip - I didn't try the breakfast sandwich - but people - it's homemade Belgian waffles with chicken!! One final tip - when your handsome pirate brother has a new baby the way to the new parents hearts is to bring Nomad Gourmet burgers to the hospital for lunch the day after the baby is born. That way both new parents are happily stuffing their faces with burger goodness and you get your brand new niece all to yourself! (at least until the burgers are devoured...)

And guys? Please let this review be the catalyst to get you in there. It'll be much easier than that morning was for me and you really should check this one out. Probably under the local radar based on the outdated stereotypes about their location, Alteregos is a equal parts a local hotspot for in-the-know North Enders, and a first impression for visitors staying in the connected hostel. Definitely a strong alternative feel, perhaps even bordering on grunge, this café might actually be one of the hippest that we've got and I can't help but feel like people still don't know about it. The staff behind the counter were friendly and efficient even after I ordered three lattés to go at the front of a growing line. They made great coffee with smiles on their faces and even stopped me on the way out to thank me for leaving a tip. Uh guys? YOU DESERVED IT. I didn't manage to try any of the food (again...I was running late) but the menu ranges from bagels to burritos with local ingredients, vegetarian alternatives, and unique combinations that I can't wait to go back for. Plus? The prices look like they have some of the best deals in the city - so as long as the food measures up, I may have found a new favourite!

The buffalo chicken soup was one of their daily specials, with a mix of cheesy creaminess and heat that contrasted well. A side of mac and cheese topped with Doritos (they have eight topping options!) was an indulgent addition to my meal, and that ooey-gooey cheese helped tame the spice of the soup. The noodles were supple and tender, and not at all mushy from sitting around in a warming tray all day like some spots. Conveniently, they also have a bunch of frozen soups to take home and keep for a rainy (re. too-lazy-to-cook) day. My wife and have tried several, including chicken and tomato bisque, potato and corn chowder, donair (!) and cream of mushroom, and the flavours are always fantastic! Souper Douper is doing the "simple" things right, and they bring a lot to their customers and community, one bowl of soup at a time.
