Tart & Soul Cafe — Restaurant in Halifax

Tart & Soul was the only reason I showed up to class as a functional human in grad school (& that’s hardly even a joke). Besides having the BEST fresh baked goods in Halifax, a rotating menu of new tasty lunches cleverly attributed to your favourite 90s cult classic stars, and lattes that taste like a hug - Tart & Soul is the rock of our community. From hosting fundraising events/letter writing campaigns/just being an inviting space, Tart & Soul is what makes Halifax the fabulous community it is. I wish I had more pictures to share but I usually end up inhaling everything I get so enjoy two sandwiches I can never stop...

The best crust I've had is on the T&S butter tart. And I've had a lot of crusts in my 35 years in case there is question about my comparison set. Have tried nearly all their desserts and have always been very happy. Coffee is hot and lots. Friendly staff, all 3 I have met. Have been offered staff clothing (cafe sleeveless sweater?) for a chilly day on the patio, and given double the number of cookies I paid for. Will return and look forward to it.

Edit 6 years later: Miss you too, think about you guys, and hope you're doing well! I hope review edits are the best way to get in touch....

Came for the treats, stayed for the people. And the treats. God the treats are so good.

Before I talk about how incredible the food and coffee are, I would like to mention the staff. Always pleasant, always treat you like you’re a regular and are excited to have you there.

I would be quite surprised if you don’t become as the food is otherworldly. There is nothing on the menu that won’t rock your world. The coffee, the breakfasts, the bagels, the sweet delectable baking that they whip up, every single bit of it is...
