Delicious vanilla oat milk latte and nice ambiance! Plenty of seating and nice big windows!

Cute little spot located within downtown Halifax. Came here with my dog and ordered a matcha latte. They were very friendly and offered my dog a treat. I enjoyed my matcha from here and would recommend this place. read more

Wee hole in the wall coffee shop on Barrington, selling excellent whole bean and ground coffee (they will grind for you as well) and the usual selection of drinks. Standing roomonly, it is an interesting and worthwhile variation on the usual coffee shops. read more

Weird Harbour Espresso Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

This is a lovely coffee shop for people who favour 3rd generation coffee shops. No seats. That's OK. Staff was super lovely - coffee delicious - not a huge amount of treat options but enough. I was from out of town but locals seemed to favour this place. Love encouraging small local places. This is a great one! I would purposely plan to end my runs at this shop as an incentive it worked! I was welcomed with a huge smile and a wonderful coffee (I like good coffee)! read more

Best downtown coffee shop that's tucked in to the lobby of an apartment tower. It's tiny but the coffee is strong and the service is friendly. They are the only place that is open SEVEN days a week and EARLY on Sundays! Love the staff here. The space is tiny so don't expect to bring your entire office with you. Two ledges at the window sill to stand at or take your coffee to go. Inviting plant-filled space with a few snacks to choose from in the counter. A few non-coffee options like kombucha in the fridge. No parking so go on foot or take the bus. Super convenient walking location. read more

Cute little spot on Barrington. The baristas really care. I ordered a simple latte with milk. It was good, not great. More like heated milk with a little espresso. I would give it another try if I were a local but for visitors looking for a great caffeine fix, Halifax is teaming with other coffee options. read more

Very friendly staff! Super helpful! It was a hot day so I wanted an iced latte, which was great but was also offered some cold water. The guy working was super nice and friendly. I'd definitely return. The only catch is it seemed to be takeout only, no seating. read more

Delicious iced vanilla latte. Cute hole in the wall tucked away with good customer service.

The oat milk lattes were bitter. We are used to strong coffee but this was simply not good. The people are nice enough but I would not recommend this business. read more

Reminds me of Small World Coffee in Princeton, only smaller! Don't let the small size fool you. This shop packs a flavorful punch! I ordered a Coffee and Blueberry muffin and headed to the Harbour to watch the sunrise and ship heading out! It's going to be a great start for my day thanks to Weird Harbour Espresso Bar. Cheers! read more

We were walking around Halifax when we passed the Weird Harbour Espresso Bar. Their logo is so cute, that we decided to stop in! Small coffee shop with a great vibe! I had their hot vanilla latte, which I highly recommend. A great cup of coffee! read more

I wanted to love this place. But I got a vanilla latte that was so sweet it's almost undrinkable. It's like a cup of sugar. Maybe their drip coffee is the thing to get. ‍ read more

Artisanal sized standup coffee bar with a La Marzocco machine. First class latte. Friendly service. If Halifax was home, I'd be a regular. read more

Weird Harbour Espresso Bar - Where the magic happens - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Tiny place. Great espresso drinks. Some sweet treats too, including a couple vegan options. Barista was super kind.

Small but cute coffee shop. Lots of great pastries and they have alternative milks. With the usual cortados, flat whites, etc, not a bunch of crazy fru fru drinks. The baristas were also very friendly, def would recommend this shop. read more

Great latte! Better than Sb's! Friendly staff and quick service. Small and quaint. Highly recommend

I know a lot depends on the barista but hands down of all the coffee places we tried in Halifax during our 4 day trip, this was the best of them ... and we tried about 6 in the downtown area. I even went back inside to congratulate them. Friendly team behind the counter as well. read more

A wonderful little cafe bar. Reminds me of the small cafes you'd find in Europe. Drop by for your morning shot of espresso and a delectable treat, take it to go our stand by their bar. Quick and high quality. Not your sit and work type of cafe - don't expect the Starbucks experience here. read more

Great coffee. Great staff. Great merch. Love Weird Harbour! Highly recommend and always stop in when I'm in town. read more

I came here to get a matcha latte, and it was okay. The lady making my drink was quite friendly though! I enjoyed my matcha latte at the shop, and it was hot and great-looking. Taste-wise, the matcha flavor was a bit light, but at least it was present. The portions are alright, though the price is a bit high at around $5 post-tax. Cute little shop but not many places to sit. read more

Really smooth espresso with no bitterness after the fact. Mochas are also incredibly smooth. A friend used the term 'velvet foam' to describe when a cafe gets it right. This team gets it right consistently. We're visiting from California where there are some decent cafes. After our first visit here, we were coming up with excuses to drive through downtown Halifax en route to other places so we could stop by. We have a 6 AM flight in the morning. But if Weird Harbour Espress Bar were open 24-hours-a-day, we'd definitely make a detour for one more visit. Almost forgot, their pastries are very good too. read more

Came here during a trip and was delighted to see that they use detour coffee beans- one of my favorite coffee roasters from Toronto. I used to be a bit of a coffee geek so I've tried a lot of cafes and this place is one of the best in Halifax. I ordered a latte to enjoy there. Milk was textured well so the latte art keeps its appearance and doesn't bubble up and fade when you're trying to take those Instagram pics. The taste was balanced without being overly bitter. Tried my gf's matcha latte with soy and the matcha was smooth and creamy. They only serve espresso and matcha based drinks for now, so if you prefer something like drip coffee you can order an Americano. Only downfalls I saw was that seating is limited, and the place might be easy to miss when you're walking down Barrington. read more

I love the spot! It's a small café but a really cool interior that's very welcoming. Their coffee is very well done and they have delicious pastries to go with it. read more

A great little coffee shop to go to for lattes and mochas. They've got a very minimalist & tastefully chic vibe to the shop, and they also sell cool swag. Their mocha was a great blend of espresso flavour and chocolate without being too overpowering with sweetness. My wife had the latte, and she says it's the best she's had! Friendly, patient service, however no seating area, so it's strictly takeaway. read more

The tiniest little cozy coffee shop that will warm your heart. There are 4 bar stools at a wooden ledge that look out on street. They have good coffee, pastry selection and service was prompt and friendly. This was absolutely worth venturing out on this cold winter day. read more

Good coffee, it was one of the best... it was better and much more reasonable when they opened. Now I feel I can only go there for a treat. Their prices are just too expensive. read more

I have fairly particular tastes when it comes to coffee - my tastes aren't better than others, I just like particular things. I'm from Australia where there is a great espresso culture, and I generally like things close to an Australian flat-white. I was on the search for a new café as I usually go to [unnamed] but their coffee didn't seem as good anymore, and my other favourite in Halifax, Two-If-By-Sea (go to their other store if you are in Dartmouth), had closed down. I went in to Weird Harbour hoping that it would fill the gap. I was not disappointed. The flat white is fantastic. The guy serving was incredibly friendly and helpful (I don't look hipster at all so I assume he's friendly to everyone). The only possible downsides are: (1) limited range of snacks (try Apothecary bakery down the road), and (2) very little seating. These are far from critical problems for this type of place. read more

Delicious lattes & baked goods. We're heading back tomorrow & will make a point of hitting it every time we find ourselves in Halifax.

Weird Harbour reminds me of tiny coffee shops that I've seen in larger cities. My visit this morning invoked memories of a past trips to exciting places and delicious cups of coffee. The friendly hipster at Weird Harbour welcomed me and gave me the rundown of what they offer. No drip coffee here - only espresso-based drinks. I settled on a soy latte. I noticed a small display of baked treats, but today I was only interested in a hot, caffeinated drink. (This worked out well, because Amy brought in chocolate croissants for everyone while I was out getting my beverage!) My latte was delicious. It was the perfect thing to drink on my walk back to the office in the fresh, cool morning air. I'm sure I'll visit Weird Harbour again. (Note: If you have any trouble finding the place, just look for the Urban Outfitters sign. It's right next door, in the old Sam the Record Man building.) read more

Weird Harbour Espresso Bar - The Caffeinator! Makin' coffees! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Great little find. I always search best espresso and coffee shop wherever I travel and this one is tied for sure. Super friendly staff, nice and small little place with all that you need. Just a few quick snacks like a few muffins, cookies etc. They focus on the drinks. Great coffee. Was with another coffee connoisseur friend and we agreed, they do it right! The only thing that would be nice is if the location had enough space for a few tables or stand up coffee bar. But otherwise loved it read more

I love coffee like the Gilmore Girls love coffee. Okay...maybe not that much. I won't drink it in the middle of the night or anything...but I love it a lot. So when a new coffee shop opens up within a ten minute walk of my apartment, oh yeah I'm happy. Weird Harbour is a small espresso joint with limited seating but lots of light. It's minimalist in design with a definite focus on the espresso bar - I love it! The owner is so nice and is genuinely excited to talk to everyone who walks through the door. My latte was delicious - one of the best I've had in a long time, actually. He also has a limited selection of baked goods available, though I was all about the espresso when I went, so I haven't tried any of that. I love Weird Harbour for a quick grab and go latte, even though I'm more of a drip coffee kinda girl myself. When I need a ~fancy~ coffee, though, this is a wonderful place to go. read more

This coffee is fantastic! The place is adorable. Not a lot of seating, but if you're lucky enough to get a seat at the window bar, it's pretty great to stay & people watch! read more

I enjoyed an excellent espresso and blueberry scone, served by a kind, knowledgeable barista. I wish they had a bigger seating area! read more

I've been meaning to check this place out since before they opened. I finally made my way in here the other day and am so glad I did. This place is somewhat hidden. They only have a window decal up to identify the storefront. Inside is bare-bones (in a good way!), eclectic minimalist decor. It's very clean and bright. There isn't much space for seating, however. It's a bit of a smaller space - maybe 4-5 seats? The guy working here was SO nice. Also, an incredible multi-tasker. I overheard him talking to the customer ahead of me regarding milk options and he was offering to bring in a few cartons of customer's go-to milk. How sweet is that?! He described all of the yummy snacks they were offering. There wasn't much, but it all looked delicious. I had the muffin-cookie thing and a latte. Both were fantastic. I'm picky when it comes to lattes, and this one was exceptional. Prices were reasonable too - exactly what you would expect for an espresso-based coffee drink. 10/10 I definitely recommend checking out this little coffee joint. It's definitely a gem. read more

Great lattes and yummy treats! We had great service and the spot is super cute! It's not out of the way so we will definitely be going there again! read more

Amazing service the guy was so nice. The coffee was so delicious and he even did the leaf design in it too which is skill for sure since I even can't do that. And the price was really good for a latte and a cookie. Will be back for sure!!! read more

Weird Harbour Espresso Bar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Halifax, Nova Scotia

A minimalist kind of coffee place that just focuses on filling your custom coffee requests to a T. They also make a darn good London Fog.

Best Americanos, best brownies in Halifax, super close to Urban (which is a dream for a uni student like myself), best atmosphere of any coffee shop I've been to in Halifax, and the service is phenomenal. If I could rate this higher than 5 stars, I 100% would! I will definitely be back soon! read more
