Rum Runners Rum Cake Factory

It's really nice inside and the person working was very helpful. I like that you can see that they're baked freshly as well. We came on a Friday evening and took a small cake to go. We got the original. The cake was nice but not enough rum at all. It was almost brushed with rum? I am used to eating a lot of foods with rum in it so I was very excited but this cake was very good for a cake, not really a rum cake.

If you like rum cake, run on over to Rum Runners and get a slice or a whole cake. We were strolling along the waterfront and decided to pop in to get slices of the original rum cake and chocolate rum cake. The original was easily better - strong rum flavour, really moist cake. We liked it so much we got a small one to go. The chocolate, on the other hand, was pretty good, but could hardly taste the rum. Cakes are baked daily, but if you don't get there before the cruiseship hordes do, you may have to wait as they bake a new batch. We missed out on the whiskey cake because of that - maybe next time!

Hmm it was okay if I am being honest. I got the chocolate flavour. Maybe I expected a lot more…personally didn’t like the texture of the cake

They have the best cakes ever! I usually find pastries and cakes utterly sweet for my taste in all the places I've tried in Halifax except theirs. They're perfectly balanced and delicious. I was looking for a winner red velvet and I've finally found it!

Great little bake shop. Very unique idea with great cakes. You can read interesting facts about the prohibition times and the store is decorated nicely with pictures/facts. There are quite a lot of souvenirs to choose from which is a great idea if you look for something special. We purchased the chocolate rum cake and it was tasty. Don’t expect the cake being dripping rum. The rum is more for flavouring. The owner was very friendly and we did chat a bit about history. One can feel the passion. I am sure the idea can be marketed more as specialty to restaurants etc

I came in for a slice of rum cake and ended up leaving with an entire cake. It was the most delicious cake I’ve ever had, perfect amount of rum flavour and super fluffy and moist. I’ll be going back for more!

I was just strolling around the lakefront and got drawn into Rum Runners. Spoke to a guest that was having a slice of chocolate rum cake and the look on his face tells me I HAVE to get a slice. I ended up getting a whole cake home.

I was sooo excited to try this...the smell in the shop is amazing. I was dissapointed with this rum cake, so dry and not really a strong rum flavour. They had original, chocolate and also scotch/whiskey.

such a cute shop and the chocolate rum cake with their coffee sooo delicious happy to find this place and the sweetest owners can’t wait to come back

Yummy cake. Very friendly staff owners? Would work as a perfect souvenir.
