    So glad I found this cozy hidden gem, especially on a cold and dreary day. Their menu options were great, had something for everyone. Plenty of seating, excellent service, and great coffee!

    I haven't been in Halifax for at least 5 years but coming back and seeing Cabin Coffee still at the corner brought back warm memories. This place is cozy with warm comfy chairs and a cabin vibe. The baked goods are homemade - brought out from the back in warm trays. The drip coffee is very tasty and they have a wide selection of lattes. The service is great and the staff is friendly. We were there everyday for coffee and breakfast sandwiches (sometimes for eating in and takeout). The breakfast sandwiches are great but I prefer the bagel option versus the english muffin. Also don't pick - just get both the ham and bacon! I am a monster so needed both meat because the slices of bacon and ham are thin. I love coming to Halifax and I love coming to Cabin Coffee.

    A nice coffee shop with cute decor. Lots of couch to table seating. Tends to get busy during breakfast because its so popular. Their breakfast sandwich is delicious.

    This is the kind of place I'd like to be in every morning. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere with comfy seating. Although there was slight mixup on our order, the coffee and the oatmeal we ordered was very tasty and it was absolutely perfect in every possible way.

    Breakfast special - fried egg, cheese and bacon on an English muffin.

    Cabin Coffee is easy to pass by if you're not looking for it, and given its locale and the nature of downtown coffee shops, unless you're working in the very immediate vicinity, you're likely not. But maybe you should... My girlfriend had a couple gift certificates for here that were gathering dust, so I inherited them so that they didn't go to waste. I popped by after a set of night shifts as unfortunately they're not open quite early enough to go to before my day shifts. But hey, breakfast for dinner is a good thing. It's a pretty big space, especially for a coffee shop, and it's chock full of Canadiana. And not just the little stuff, but a stone hearth and fireplace, moose, full sized canoe, and large murals. It borders on tacky, but at the same time it's a refreshing departure from the cookie cutter feel of chain coffee shops or your run of the mill coffee place with a cooler for sandwiches. There's plenty of comfy couches and arms chairs s well as tables as chairs. They hadn't been open for long so I was able to order quickly, going for their breakfast bun special - a toasted English muffin with a fried egg, cheese, and bacon or ham; naturally, I went with the bacon. This, plus a medium coffee was a mere $4 plus tax. I tacked on a couple of their pinwheels, one for myself and one to take home to my girlfriend so that I wasn't the sole beneficiary of this free food. I got my coffee and pinwheels immediately, while my breakfast sammy was cooked. It's your typical cinnamon roll/pin wheel, except cooked in a muffin tin, so the outer edges were just a bit crispy without being dry. The filling was fine; really, it's hard to mess up brown sugar and cinnamon. The best part, and I'm not sure if this was by design or accident, was the crisp layer of sugar the bottom of the pinwheel from the filling leaking out and hardening as it cooked. So good. My breakfast sandwich was out shortly after. The English muffin was a bit larger than the ubiquitous Ben's version or McDonald's, and was nice and evenly toasted; no burnt edges here. The toppings were all pretty middle of the road, nothing was bad, but not particularly memorable at the same time either. Just a reliable breakfast sandwich, which is A-OK. My medium roast coffee was a little bland, even for my unsophisticated coffee palate, but it caffeinated me well enough to get some things done when I got home. I was glad I finally made it to try Cabin Coffee, and I'm happy to see them chugging along in a world full of corporate chains. Also, it's impressive that they have avoided the curse of the location immediately above them.

    The pitas were very dry and chewy and the London fog was strong and watery. The only comfort was the chair and the soft lighting.

    So comfy. Perfect spot to meet friends. So homey and excellent coffee/lattes, which are rivaled by the extraordinary cinnamon buns.

    Drift was once on the list of top 100 Canadian restaurant, and we've decided to have lunch here…read moreduring our trip to Halifax. Reservation is easy and there's still plenty of spots for Friday lunch with same day booking. The vibe here is relaxing and quiet with the restaurant entrance hidden inside a hotel. Service is good too. The chef has demonstrated quite solid cooking skil and my suggestion is to go with the fancier dish here where the chef clearly pays more attention to, compared to dishes like fish and chips. I tried a classic cocktail with gin as the base. It turned out to be very refreshing. For food, Caesar salad was delicious. Pan fried cod fillet was cooked perfectly, very tender and went well with the roots vegetables. It was my favorite dish here. Lobster pasta was also delicious. Fish and chips were average, definitely not comparable to some of the food truck places. Fries were dry and tasted bitter. Overall, this is a good restaurant with great food quality, good service and nice environment. I would consider revisiting if I'm in Halifax again.

    What do you think of when you're heading out east ? Seafood of course ! Let me tell you... I've got…read morea new appreciation for it after my trip last week. We've had a trip planned to golf Cabot for the last few years. The texts and emails were flying delays, cancelled trips and in general , I never thought it would happen. Surprisingly, Halifax was a quick little flight from Toronto and am I ever glad we did it. First off, we talked about getting lobster on the side of the road at shacks etc, blah blah blah but as soon as we landed we headed to meet a friend who said we must try this lobster croissant sandwich at The Drift. OMG OMG OMG ! Could be one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted but you know what was even better, the Chablis, no, the lobster pasta, no... It was the lobster fritters. They were insane ! The fritters are a bit like a conch if you've ever had that in the BVIs but they are battered so perfectly with a zesty hint of like that is so perfect, it's too hard to describe. Over the top crispy timbit deliciousness with lobster. The drift is a MAJOR win, it's along the water in Halifaxs best hotel the Muir and it's just perfect. Our trip was filled with Oysters and I have to say, each place had slightly different variations but I will NEVER say I had a better Oyster than in Halifax. If you hear me say it, just call me out because we had at least 4 Oysters each at around 6 places and they were all better than anywhere I've ever eaten in the world, almost to the point where I didn't need the sides (almost). I am so glad I visited Halifax, oh and by the way, the golf at Cabot was insane ! INSANE ! Was it better than Cabot St Lucia ? Nope, but I give Cabot St Lucia a 9.8 and I give Cabot Cape Breton a 9.6. STOP right there ! I had the crab shack , I had the crab shack and oh my gosh was it good. Just outside Cabot is the best little shack with the freshest little sandwiches on fluffy buns. Check it out right here- get the mainlander sandwich and the crab bretoner. The mainlander is warm lobster spiced up on the bun, heaven ! And the crab bretoner is chilled crab, mix up perfectly with aioli, green on and a few other things. If you're near Inverness you better stop there. Ok ok ok , I'm writing all of this as I go but on the Sunday we end up at the 5 fishermen. Order the lobster, the carbonara lobster , the chowder and Oysters at every single place you go in Halifax and thank me later. I wasn't expecting to love the food this much, wow ! If you're there on a Sunday, hit Durty Nellys. In my Opinion it's the best pub in the world- yep ! See ya next week :)
