We ordered a quiche and salad and the fish cakes. It seemed like perhaps a potentially much busier than usual day - it took over 45 minutes for the quiche, which I imagine is pre-prepared. The food was good.

Nice cafe with two outdoor patios - one in front of the actual cafe (which is in a rustic looking…read morestrip mall) and the other is on a grassy field overlooking Lake Banook - prime seating on a nice day. They have coffee and espresso - they use Laughing Whale beans from Lunenburg. Had a BLT bagel. Bagels are high quality from a local bagel place in Dartmouth. Nice thick cut bacon. Price comparable to other local cafes. Will try their coffee products in the future

There are unique and incalculable joys that exist in any community…read more Places that never disappoint. Places where you're more comfortable there than at home. You find them, treasure them, and return to them again and again. Dilly Dally is just such a place. Laura, the owner, is a seasoned professional who ran many successful establishments before. But Dilly Dally? Dilly Dally was personal. Both Laura and the environment she built offer up a genuine, warm and human touch. And it must be infectious because ALL the staff appear to be happy to work there and happy to see you. You feel special, because you are! From remembering your orders from last time to having fun with the froth, everyone who greets you gives you their smile. Ya just can't help it. And the food. Oh. My. GOD. Every meal presentation belongs on the cover of a shiny, foodie magazine. Everything is delicious. No, seriously. I'm a picky eater. Like, they put pickles on my avocado toast with scrambled egg and bacon. I hate pickles. But for some reason the damn pickles are amazing. I clean my plate every time. How do they do that? And it's impossible to get bored of the choices because they try new concoctions every day. Show up early before they sell out. The only complaint is they aren't a secret. Getting a table during busy hours is luck of the draw. (Although summer and fall there's much more outdoor seating) And when you want a little D&D... and they're closed? Your soul dies a little bit. But don't worry, it bounces back next time you return. If you live in or near Halifax, you must go! If you don't and can't get anywhere near Dilly Dally, well, I feel sorry for you. Your life clearly sucks.

It seemed a fitting location to caffeinate and get a bite before closing on our first house, which officially mades us Dartmouthians! Having just moved back to Nova Scotia within the past couple years, I'd only been to their smaller, pre-renos location once. Since then, they've blessedly expanded into a neighbouring unit, giving a lot more seating and openness, as they were becoming victims of their own success in the small, original space. I'm a lover of all things breakfast, so I snagged one of their breakfast sandwiches, while my wife stuck to the baked goods and went with one of their lovely blueberry scones. Two medium roast drip coffees, black, completed our refueling. Right out of the gate, the scone was AMAZING! The exterior was lightly crisp, but the interior was moist and soft (sorry, Larry David) - cooked to absolute perfection. There must have been a light coating of sugar to get it so crispy, so I don't know how regular scone batter does that on its own! Topped with a blueberry icing, blue sprinkles and edible flowers, it was a beauty! With my appetite whetted, I demolished my delicious breakfast sandwich when it arrived. The egg was of the scrambled sort, and light and fluffy, complemented by the thick and crisp bacon. A tomato-based sauce, be it jam or a house-made ketchup added a mix of sweetness and acidity, and it was helluva breakfast sandwich. After a year and a half in our home and many returns visits for coffee, delicious baked goods, and one coffee tasting event, we came by much more recently for a weekend lunch. CGL is typically very busy on the weekend, but rainy weather made tables slightly more available. I didn't come here with proper food in mind, but seeing the lemongrass chicken banh mi on the menu quickly changed my mind and appetite. This sandwich had a lot (/everything) going for it - tender, flavourful chunks of moist chicken, big and bright flavours from the crisp daikon and carrot slaw, and cucumber and cilantro for yet more crunch and flavour. Not to be forgotten was the perfect French bread, with its shatteringly crisp exterior and a pleasantly dense and pliable crumb. Cafe Good Luck is easily the best cafe in downtown Dartmouth, with an assortment of wildly good coffees that they roast, top notch baked goods, and a small but mighty mix of hot foods when you need something more substantial than a pastry (but still get that pastry!).
