Crooki Cafe — Restaurant in Halifax

I was excited to try Crooki, as it’s been all over social media. To say I was disappointed is an understatement.

I purchased a chicken club sandwich, a coffee and a cookie and the coffee was the only thing that was decent. I decided to try the double chocolate cookie and couldn’t get past two bites, as it was flavourless. I ended up throwing it out as it tasted nothing like what a double chocolate cookie should taste like.

As for the club sandwich, it was prepared using the pre-made ciabatta bread from Costco, as well as pre-cooked chicken that I spent over $12 for. For a cafe, I thought they would have at least used fresh bread and chicken but everything was pre-made and simply put together.

Their branding is very aesthetic and I do think the cafe has potential but improvements would...

Was very excited to try this new cafe. A friend and I went for the strawberry matcha and some sandwiches. We were very disappointed. After waiting to be served/greeted they served my friend. They proceeded no not take my order even tho I was standing there waiting. Informed us that they were out of sandwich bread and lettuce ( we were there 11:30 on a Monday). Once we finally got our “sandwiches” they were not good. Paid 20$ for a handful of lays chips and a bagel with mayo, shredded cheese, tomato and processed chicken. Could have got a better sandwich from Tim hortons for half the price....

This business can charge $6 for an energy drink and $4 for a small black coffee but can’t pay a photographer or an artist to do pictures for their advertising. Everything they have advertised is a.i generated, and the audacity to do it on campus at an art school is humiliating and beyond rude. Not to mention they charge an extra $2 for their sandwiches because the price listed is only for the filling in the sandwich and not the bread. Staff and service is nice but other than that no one should go here. Pathetic...
