An absolutely phenomenal Café in the North End of Halifax. The pastries and coffee are always spot on and delicious! A cozy clean Café that's great to work in or catch up with friends. Will definitely be back for another donut and cappuccino

Great location! Lots of free 2h street parking. Delicious coffee and treats. They don’t have regular milk their default is oat milk or else they have soy/almond, something to keep in mind if you commonly have milk based espresso beverages. A good amount of seating, feels like a large open space inside with a lot of natural light. Also some patio seating outside.

I love having a vegan cafe that I don’t have to worry about what I order!! The donuts are so delicious (cinnamon twist is my favourite, but I got the Boston cream did not disappoint!!)

We visited this cafe today for brunch - loved their plant based sandwich; extremely tasty and filling! And we tried their hot chocolate - the girl made really cute designs with the foam on the hot choc! The only downside I would say was that the price of the food was not advertised so you don’t really know what you’re paying until u have to pay! There’s street parking outside the cafe but very limited. Other than that, it was a great experience! Definitely recommend

Absolutely the BEST vegan breakfast sandwich in Halifax! Service with a smile. I'm a legit food snob and I swear by this place. The staff are friendly and interested which is sad to say rare these days. Go here over anywhere else because you'll feel instantly welcomed with a cool vibe, smiling friendly staff and the goodies, .... all the menu looks amazing. Next time I'm there I'll still get my go to vegan breakfast sandwich but I'll grab an olive and garlic loaf as well. Thank you for outstanding food and service. Hats off to you!

We ended up visiting Bramble Cafe twice during our recent stay in Halifax. We stopped at many restaurants, and this place was easily our favorite of them all! Everything was incredibly flavorful and unique. Do yourself a favor and visit.

Vegan cafe delightfully situated for a stay next door. Note, there are no regular milk offerings. The menu price points are higher than elsewhere, which some may consider commensurate with the offerings. Parking can be limited as the area was surrounded by construction at the time of this review.

I really enjoyed visiting Bramble. Excellent coffee - one of the best in Halifax. A minor quibble was the milk choices. I would have preferred hemp to soy or oat, but just a minor thing. The pastries were excellent. Our bagel was savory, with just the right amount of chewiness. The sesame cookie was more earthy and less sweet than many cafe cookies - an excellent characteristic in my mind. The staff were friendly and attentive. An all around A+ grade.
