First, but definitely not last, experience here. Service was great, staff was patient while we made up our minds, and very friendly while serving us. Cute little coffee shop, with a nice and comfy atmosphere. Food was delicious and fresh, and they even offer vegan options (which is the reason we chose to visit)!

My go-to café every morning when I was staying in Darmouth. Love the original flavored scones and pastries. Coffee was also always delicious.

Absolutely love this place! Such great coffee and pastries (photos from this trip were just prior to closing so they had sold out of pastries/goodies). They roast their own beans and sell multiple bags and flavours under the name ‘Have Fun Coffee’ one of the few local roasters that do unique more fruity flavour profiles. They are the only local cafe I have found who sell high quality coffee beans from other roasters around the world. They recently expanded the space and now have a large seating area. The space is open and bright, the vibes are great and the coffee is delicious.

A very cute café with friendly and kind staff. The coffee was great, and the food was amazing. We had a breakfast sandwich with delicious bacon and a bagel with lox—both made with very fresh ingredients and perfect flavors. It would be even better if the portions were larger. Definitely recommend!

We got Bagle with lax and Breakfast sandwiches. Trout was very fresh and unbelievably tasty. Breakfast sandwiches was recommended by the couple who was lining up after us. It was a great combination of eggs (nicely done) and tomato jam, so delicious!

Came here on a sunday afternoon for a nice cup of Mocha. It gets quite busy but has good amount of seats available. Beautiful decor and a kind staff makes it a nice and cozy spot in HRM for brunch or a cup of coffee. Highly recommend.

We visited Café Good Luck yesterday for brunch and I absolutely Love this place. It’s nice to see more great places in Dartmouth and I feel a business like this really brightens up the downtown scene. My beautiful girl got the Chicken Salad sandwich and I ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches and we were very happy with the results. Very tasty and the amount of food hit the spot, even with my bottomless stomach. (I probably could’ve ate 3 of them but I’m not normal.) I will definitely be returning to this place and I suggest you try them out if you haven’t!

Food is good and staff are friendly, but for a café the service is unbelievably slow. A lot of customers have set lunch breaks and can t afford to wait at the counter for 15 minutes just to order and another 15-20 minutes for their order to be done, especially when it s something as simple as a soup and grilled cheese to go. I m typically not one to make a fuss about things but I had a gift card and walked there 4 times to try and get lunch. Only once did I actually leave with food. The rest of the time I was left to eat cookies for lunch because the service was so slow and I had no time left to go anywhere else. A sit down restaurant would have been faster.

I just ordered a bagel and small latte , latte is good but bagel is tastless and hard and stale and not even toasted properly my breakfast is ruined ,and i paid over 10$ for this, this is the first time i tried their food and would be the last time now

October 22, 2024

Service was fine but not enough to make up for how awful the food is; there were a ton of coffee grinds in my latte and the soup (which was overwhelmingly salt) had a bunch of zucchini which wasnt listed with the rest of the ingredients Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions you shouldnt eat here, cross contamination city

The best café in Dartmouth, maybe even the best in Halifax or at least one of the top five in the city. Coffee is excellent, food is delicious, and they recently expanded so now there is lots of seating. They have vegan and gluten-free options too including a vegan breakfast sandwich and a gluten free chocolate chip cookie (good but not as good as Rambler s). Worth the trip across the harbour any day. Pictured below is the burrata toast

An absolute gem on Portland street! If youre a matcha lover I recommend trying a vanilla matcha latte. The cafe is adorable with lots of seating, however it is often quite busy in the morning so the seating isnt always available. The breakfast sandwich is delicious and nutritious! Parking: There is paid street parking and a paid lot on the same street. Street parking is scarce but the lot always has plenty of spots available.

Been there multiple times and its been disappointing. The baristas are unfortunately slow and inefficient. They take their sweet time even during rush hours. Their breakfast options are lackluster if you dont want pastries. Not a fan of BBQ sauce in breakfast sandwiches lol. The atmosphere and vibe of the place is great though

Stopped into this Cafe for the first time when i discovered my other favourite local cafe closed down :( I went with a bacon breakfast sandwich and let me tell you.. i am usually a pick eater and it comes with things i would usually leave aside. however i decided to try it as it was intended and i do NOT regret it. One of the best I ve had here in dartmouth. I also got an iced latte, again, not my usual but it was delicious and creamy. The atmosphere is super welcoming and pleasant all the staff were smiling and it seemed they had a good flow going for how busy they were while I was there ! However, a bit small, it would be awesome if they had the space to expand ! I also noticed they had a Put it on a tab for those who may not be able to afford a meal. A+ to you guys ! will definitely be back in the future !

Nice cafe although it s super small. We had to wait 15-20 mns to sit by the window. I believe it s more meant to be a take away shop.

First time visit was perfect, love the friendly staff, and the food was amazing. Love the eggy bun and cinnamon toast latte. Also a really nice place to sit and chill, sweet queer friendly space. Will be back!

The best cafe Ive been to. The scones are perfect, the coffe is delicious and the breakfast sandwich will give you a new lease on life. The frozen soups are tasty and warm up amazingly well. The service is fast, and the staff are kind, warm and friendly. Im in Halifax for work and came here every day to ensure I got to try 4 different scones. I cannot speak highly enough of this place. If you are a visitor please come by as it will truly be a highlight of your trip here. If you live in the area, consider yourself blessed to be near this gem of a cafe. Ill be counting down the days until I come back!

Okay so this place is adorable. We got off to a bit of a rocky start but you know, all relationships have their ups and downs. The good luck Cafe is cute and sweet and kind and the interior decor is like being in your bedroom when you were 12 years old if when you were 12 years old you were a horse kid who was maybe a bit too into local food. The staff are very nice - they are all very cool in that way that you think maybe they wont talk to you but then they do talk to you and then you feel special. So talk to them to order a delicious coffee, or mocha, or a cute hat (I dont know if the hats are delicious Ive never eaten one), pet a toy horse, read a book about Big Ben (the horse, not the clock - who I met once at the Royal winter fair - the horse. Not the clock). try a vegan cookie or a super delicious breakfast sandwich. Its a little bit crowded in there so you will be chronically in the way - dont worry thats not a you thing - youre still welcome. Enjoy your visit. Dietary restrictions: Good about allergies and restrictions. Lots of options.

Absolute favorite cafe in HRM! Great coffee and the most unreal breakfast sandwich you will ever have... And tons of adorable pastries available as well. The atmosphere is great and whimsical and the staff are delightful!

Had the mocha with their in-house made chocolate sauce, and it was fabulous. The blueberry cheese danish with goat cheese was amazing. And the artwork topped it off.

I just got a cappuccino from here and it is perfect. I spent a year in Melbourne and have been trying to find a Capp like they do there for years!! I can honestly say I have only found one that impresses me once or twice in Halifax. This is one of them! Thank you!

One of our go to spots, an integral part of the growing downtown Dartmouth food & beverage scene. Their new in house roasted coffee is fantastic, great variety of coffee making accessories and beans.

Best cafe in Dartmouth. The owner Sonny knows his stuff and the whole team of staff are super friendly. Order the eggy bun or the chicken salad sandwich and you wont be disappointed.
