Q: ill be living in halifax soon and i was wondering what are the best coffee/tea houses , possibly in the downtown area? im looking for something thats got good drinks and is quaint , not formal/sleek at all, with a bit of an alternative feel. somewhere you can go, get a latte and read a book on a couch or talk with some friends over coffee. really appreciate it <3

A: Here's a few suggestions Just Us - Barrington Street Carlito's Cafe - Quinpool Rd Uncommon Ground - South Park Street Steve O Reno's - Brunswick Street A really good introduction to Halifax is the Coast Magazine: http://www.thecoast.ca/
