I don't know if this policy is driven by fear or virtue signalling at this point in the game. If you want to wear a mask fine but don't force this on customers we have had 3 years of devastation. Businesses were ruined, and society still dealing with the aftermath of lockdowns and inflation.

Treats Cafe is another one of those places that serves it's purpose, but not much more. The cafe is…read morea decent spot to grab a quick coffee or treat if you work in 1505, but it's certainly not a place you would go out of your way to frequent. The staff is friendly and there is plenty of seating. They claim to have free wi-fi, but the only signals I was able to pick up were an "Aliant Hot Spot," which is not free, and a weak wireless signal from a conference center upstairs. Still, as I said, it serves it's purpose for those of us who frequent 1505 Barrington. If you need a quick snack or coffee, Treats Cafe is your best option...and your only option.

Located in the Scotia Square mall, it may be a faster spot to get your fix than the busy hotbeds of Second Cup and Starbucks. They serve a modest selection of java, including a few specialty coffees. Treats are tasty and slightly less than Starbucks prices; although, with the abundance of Scotia Square offerings, Treats doesn't exactly bring anything stand-out to the table. A cookie is a cookie. But is a coffee just a coffee? Treats is a guaranteed quick fix, but if you're looking for something ultra grande, it may not quench all cravings.

If it's your first time with bubble tea I recommend trying the peach or mango with no milk, after that start trying out some of the more exotic flavours like litchi with milk or taro. The signature milk tea is the Magic Tea, highly recommended. There are probably 100 different teas on the menu. Summer time is the best time for the chillers, essentially a bubble tea slushy. Price wise they are pretty reasonable for this type of experience, but be prepared to spend 15.00 for two. If it's getting late best to give them a call and make sure they have bubbles left. :)

I went in there one night when he was with a bunch of his friends and he stated that they are all out of bubble yea... I find that very hard to believe. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and went back a few days later. I was greeted by the same unfriendly owner who acted as though he was doing me a favor and did not even greet me upon entrance. I was asking which flavor was his favourite and he simply asked me to turn the menu around to reflect the "best in Halifax" marking on the front. A real jerk, I will not be returning and the Indochine Banh M near spring garden will be my go to, the tea is better anyways.... Spare yourself the time. This guy has a problem with Canadian Natives.

You get a view of the whole shop from up there which I simply love. The two people working were both very nice and happy to answer our questions. The tea was lovely as well. This is one of my new favourite spots I think. I definitely plan on going back.

Smoothies are also available and you can get protein added for a small price addition. If I had to recommend a specific item on the menu id say go for a Chicken Parmesan or Turkey Bacon Club panini with a side Quinoa salad, along with a dark roast coffee.
