Annie's Place Cafe - Halifax

I had a wonderful experience at this charming cafe that serves delicious home-cooked meals. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The homemade apricot jam that accompanied my pancakes was a standout.

This restaurant is very small but charming. We chose to sit outside due to the heat and tight quarters. The staff was friendly, but unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect of our visit. I ordered bacon, eggs, and toast with a latte, looking forward to the homemade bread. The cook appeared overwhelmed from the beginning, which delayed our order. We didn't receive our drinks until after our food arrived, and the coffee was burnt. The toast lacked flavor and butter, while my bacon was overcooked. I was disappointed and unable to finish my latte. Despite feeling like we overpaid ($40), I didn't want to ask for a refund from the small business. I ended up getting coffee from McDonald's afterward. I regret giving a low rating, but I don't believe the positive reviews are genuine. Additional staff in the kitchen could help improve the quality of the food and prevent overcooking or burning.

The restaurant has a small dining area that is not fancy, but the server and Annie were very friendly. The food was very good, and I would definitely visit again.

We had a great breakfast, and didn’t have to wait despite the place indeed being tiny (maybe 5 tables, two of which were taken by regulars it seemed . Annie is very nice, and greets everyone personally; our waitress was very attentive.Everything is homemade (including bread , and tastes truly homemade. The serving size is just right. Coffee was good too.We will definitely return if in Halifax again.PS: Note that the pricing on their website is quite outdated, and they do take cards now:

The omelette and scrambled eggs were pretty flavorful and well cooked. The other food was terrible. Bread for the toast was dense and flavorless, and it wasn 't toasted enough (no color) or buttered enough (barely any). The French toast was made with the same dense, bland bread, and it didn 't have enough egg, so the texture was all wrong. The cinnamon roll was also the wrong texture, had almost no cinnamon, and for some reason had a small pocket of chocolate chips and coconut.The server was nice enough, though she brought us eggs that were ordered by a different table (and then didn 't take them to the other table, but instead left them with us).
