“ Checked out Terra Cafe this past week—what a hidden gem in the heart of downtown Halifax. It’s definitely going on my list of regular spots. The cappuccino was excellent, and both the lunch and dessert were awesome. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere welcoming, and the vibe was cool and relaxed. Well worth checking out! ”
“ The best place to grab a morning coffee before you head to work. I got a salted caramel iced latte and a bagel and both were delicious. The service is also excellent. It’s also a great idea to grab a coffee there on the weekend during the farmers market! ”
“ Terra has my favourite iced chai in the city and some of the yummiest baked goods. I recently tried their sandwiches which were also great! The Italian cold cut sandwich was really delicious, would definitely recommend! ”
“ Terra opens an hour earlier than most coffee houses so they already get a “go here” vote from me. Their dark roast is rich and their London Fog gets an enthusiastic “thumbs-up” from my partner. Do not miss their Lemon glazed scones, and their breakfast sandwich rivals the other best in town at Jolt. Out of their window an inner-courtyard farmers market is setting up. All in all a great choice. ”
“ Wonderful service. Breakfast sando was possibly the greatest of all time. Lemon scone fresh out of the oven was devoured. Coffee and chai latte were incredible. Cutest little cafe!! 100% recommend. ”
