Julien's Patisserie Bakery & Cafe

People that know Halifax come here, not the overpriced Starbucks across the street. This place is a French-style really chill joint with prices right on the money for what you get. Must have:canneline (french specialty), and a Cafe Au Lait. Fresh everything: Wide variety of rotating French pastries (though they've badly named their chocolatines as "chocolate croissants", sadly) samosas fantastic for a "real meal" in veggie and meat options, coffee excellent. You can even call and reserve a bread order. Just note their closing times - they're European style cafe, so they close around 1700. Internet is okay, but that's not why you're here. Just wish there was a maple-syrup Halifax Fog drink, but this place c'est 100% parfait.

Definitely an exquisite little place. Delicious. Fresh. So many choices I was overwhelmed but so happy! Smells amazing and busy busy little spot even on early Sunday mornings. The staff was fun, courteous and respectful regardless of how busy they were. Lots of locals. That's how you know it's a good place. Most delicious moka I've ever had too!

Perhaps the best cafe in Halifax. It serves Java Blend coffee from the local roaster, and had fresh baked bread loads available every day. But they go quick! Pastries, desserts, and samosas are also available in this charming location.

Lovely setting, with a very European feeling to the cafe. The Americano is quite nice, and the pastries are plentiful in choice, and tasty. Music being played is often French or Italian of origin, and gives a lovely atmosphere. Great spot for some solitude, or a nice chat.

Great place for several kinds of fresh breads and pastries. Located in North end Halifax in area known for the local buildings...Hydrostones. Beautiful small shopping area with adjacent park.
