    Perfect food! Broccoli salad, other salad with beets etc. plus wraps and coffee are all excellent !

    Menus sept 2022

    Cute little cafe with delicious breakfast and coffee. I ordered the avocado chimichurri and it was divine. The eggs were perfectly poached on top of a toasty sourdough. A side of green salad is always welcomed to balance off the food groups and presentation. At the price they charge, it's a steal.

    Let's take a minute to honor this cookie I am about to eat.. So unbelievably good.

    After yelping and debating where to go for lunch after forgetting my lunch bag in my car (R.I.P. yogurt) I decided to take a trot down to Ciboulette for some lunchtime eatin'! I even went solo and I am pretty glad I did, space is limited but it's these kind of places that make lunch time fun in Halifax. After reading reviews about the grilled cheese panini, I gave it a try, along with the broccoli salad and a yummy cookie (more on that later!) I was the only one sat down inside but space is pretty limited although I hear there is more room upstairs.. I sat facing Barrington and watched people walk and have fun in the sun (I left my SPF60 at home), and the sandwich maidens gave me my sandwich and salad within a few minutes. The bread is to die for, the cheese is sharp and delish, but I wish the sundried tomatoes and basil were spread out more evenly in the sandwich, I had two bites of tomato and some basil, maybe? It was still good though! The broccoli salad was awesome but the almonds should be toasted, raw almonds are a bit too chewy for salads but that's just my opinion ;) The cookie! Omg the cookie. It was walnut fudge I believe, but it had a crisp flaky shell and a soft almost salty sweet gooey inside. I want more. MOAR!! I will go back! If anything to try more of their baked goods!

    Went there on Monday right before lunch hour. I ordered chicken club panini and cheddar scone. Both were really good, I really wanna come back and try different menus. They have bar style seating upstairs, which was perfect for me. When lunch time came, people burst into the cafe so if you can avoid that, I recommend you do.

    Ciboulette is a great little lunch spot. Specializing in a tasty fare of breakfast dishes, paninis, sandwiches, sweets and soups-- its a foolproof grab if you are in the area. I will highly recommend both the Curried Butternut Squash and Ginger & Carrot soups. Magnifique! While I haven't tested the sandwiches or paninis, it is evident that Ciboulette emphasizes fresh and local food. They are mindful and display expertise in their collective offerings. In regards to dessert, the Dark Belgian Cookie is a divine indulgence. FYI. Overall, Ciboulette offers a pleasant cafe experience with well constructed fresh food. Everything is made from scratch, with the best of ingredients. Je taime!

    Tried here for breakfast on two separate Saturdays around 9am. Both times the place was mostly empty, so I hope it picks up or is busy at a different time of day. The atmosphere is bright with very high ceilings, basic wooden tables, some cute bird decor, seating for perhaps 20 at most? The German Breakfast Roselane Farms' cold cuts and ham, a soft boiled egg, and The Old Apothecary toast (gfo) $11 is decent, exactly as it sounds. The Breakfast Wrap (scrambled eggs, salsa, and cheddar with either ham ...or avocado and spiced potato (vo) $4 - I had the veggie - was very good and although not a big portion, excellent for the price, and tasty. I just had regular drip coffee both visits for an extra $1.25 I believe, and for that, you have the choice of small, medium or large. Friendly service. I will go back here for lunch someday for sure.

    muffin "to die for"
    Ruth D.

    I was told that their muffins were "to die for" by my husband and his co-workers who often take their coffee breaks and pick up a lunch to go at Ciboulette. Lucky them, it's just around the corner from work. It's tiny, so most people use this as a take out spot. There is only seating for 8, but it's fun to people watch while munching on the best cranberry orange muffin I ever ate. Ciboulette is owned by Chef Craig Flinn of Chives Bistro right next door, so you know everything will be fresh and delicious. And by the way, you can pick up his latest cookbook there too. I wonder if the muffin recipe is in it.

    The muffins were ok but do NOT go here to study. They could not give us the wifi password and told us that after we got their food.

The coffee (I'm always getting their medium roast drip, black), is top notch with quality beans from local roasters or big names from further afield. Their food menu isn't huge, but they've got a handful of breakfast sandwiches (bonus points for the all day breakfast!), with a few other lunch options. I've gotten their standard breakfast sandwich a couple times now, and I don't need a Magic 8-Ball to tell me that it's also in my future! A fluffy egg comes topped with fresh lettuce and tomato, a slice of real cheddar, your choice of a maple or garlic aioli, as well as either bacon or avocado. The challah bun steals the show though, with its signature egg-iness, lightly crisp crust and a soft but supple crumb that supported the goodness within. I recently pulled myself away from this breakfast banger to try out one of their lunch sandwiches, the Italian cold cut. A few types of salami come between a delightfully airy focaccia, with your choice of cheese (Swiss for me) and flavoured mayo (garlic). Pickled red onion brightened things up with a lightly tart bite and paired well with the sweet and tangy red vinaigrette. It was a lunchtime classis that got punched up with quality components. The southern ends of Barrington/Hollis/Lower Water are chock full of caffeine slingers, but Terra Cafe checks all the boxes with its atmosphere, food and drinks.

I asked what it was and he said it was mousse that was coated in a thin white chocolate and I'm assuming it will be a mango flavor. I can't believe this was not yet listed as a business so it might be New, but I didn't ask. Adorable store with outdoor and indoor seating and the outdoor tables had fire pits and blankets.

When I arrived, there were only two other customers seated and two staff members working. I waited about five minutes before anyone acknowledged me at the counter. Once I finally placed my order, their debit machines stopped working due to a Wi-Fi issue normally a small, fixable problem. Instead, staff asked me to step outside with them while they tried to connect their payment terminal to a neighbouring business's Wi-Fi. This went on for nearly 15 minutes, with staff standing on the patio and repeatedly attempting to connect multiple machines to the neighbour's network. It was awkward, inappropriate, and honestly unprofessional. After all that, the transaction still didn't go through, and I left without the cupcake I had tried to buy. The manager barely apologized and seemed irritated that I had even tried to make a purchase. At no point was I offered the product as a courtesy or any kind of solution for the wasted time. The younger staff seemed polite and not at fault here- the issue is clearly a lack of management and proper equipment. Bring cash, a hotspot, or better yet, save yourself the hassle until they fix their system. I won't be returning.
