Katee Seaboyer

Extremely loud, sandwich was hard, dry and overpriced, and the service was not good. Overrated IMO!

Delicious London dog and lemon tart. It has a cute and very spacious seating area. I like that it's open late so you can go for an after dinner treat and coffee.

Scott Gillard

Nice cup of coffee, friendly and helpful staff.

Mark M. Pinder

Great food and coffee in a cute space. One of Halifax's best coffee shops.

John B P Armstrong

Cozy atmosphere, great drinks, and local art.

Dim Passage

Beautiful luxury café that's open later than most. The drink prices are moderate-high, but they are worth it for their amazing quality. Their matcha latté is the best thing I've ever consumed in my life.

Lise Danielle Theriault

What a great cafe! The staff is super friendly and helpful, service was fast. My London Fog was delicious and a reasonable price. I'll be back!

Wonderful gem, lovely ambient and nice service. I tried the coffe and the croissant and both were good. They have small selection of food and drinks but their coffee is good. Lara, the owner is so sweet and friendly and has her family photos on the place. There is also a small bar in the place.

Amazing drinks, delicious granola- a great atmosphere and lovely staff!

Alea Varen

One of the few restaurants open late that allow you to sit in and work if you're a student who likes to study at night, or just relax. Music is a little loud which can be distracting, but that may have been because we went later. Staff are super friendly and made you feel welcome.

Jeff Brock

Seeet little spot. And beautiful smiles

Mark Johnson

My wife and I went in last week. Nice little café, good coffee, fun crowd. Good location, and outdoor seating for when it's nice. I think our only constructive criticism was that the staff seemed rather disinterested and tired. Maybe it was just a rough day. Café Lara is good for a visit!

Kirsty Stevenson

Delicious lattes and coffee. Great food. Thoughtful friendly staff.

Emily Miller

A bustling, wonderful little hub that fits right into Agricola Street and has quickly become a neighbourhood favourite. A great spot to meet for a coffee meeting, or grab a quick lunch. Lara is always planning amazing events and has rotating local art that I love to check out.

David Schuurman

So beautiful and welcoming!

Cat Drover

Cute little cafe in the North end. Great coffee and the prosciutto fig sandwich is fantastic!

Emily Hickey

Gluten free/vegan treats are amazing and staff is so friendly!! Come here all the time :)

Mike Hamson

Great coffee and great vibe! Awesome spot to get some work done or play some crib. Music nights are really good as well. And that front window am I right?

Alison K.

Great vibe to work or socialize in. Pretty busy spot and cozy so don't expect a quiet cafe experience (personally I love the buzz so this is a plus!) Great music playlist piped through the space. I love that the vibe is perfect for either a coffee meeting or beer catch-up with friends: them being a licensed cafe is perfect. Also a happening spot some evenings for live music or entertainment, so be sure to call ahead in case a more quieter work session was what you had in mind. Lovely edition to the neighbourhood, so happy this place exists!

One of my favourite Cafes in the city.

Taija Swanston

Cute little cafe. With great chocolatines. I also ordered a chai latte, however they added wayyyy to much cinnamon to the point my tea was gritty. It tasted fine just a little too much texture for my taste. It gets quite busy so if you don’t mind a bit of background noise for studying it’s great.

Sam Gillett

Really nice atmosphere and morning sun.i went on a Saturday and enjoyed the peaceful setting and lovely interior design of the place. The coffee was great and so was the pastry I had. The staff were nice! And it's such a great location.

Caitlyn Nickerson

Nice spot. Would like to try their breakfast menu!

Christo Norman

A random discovery of a place in the evening to sit back - a good book in hand - and listen to some wonderful jazz. Couldn't ask for much more than that...

William Van Woensel

Nice place and a good iced latte.

Simon Dunn

Becky Bruce

Marie Noland

Joseph H

A little busy, but that's due to its fantastic location and great atmosphere.

Pedro Martinez

Great quality, and great taste. The small baguettes are packed with quality food and a great taste balance. cozy environment.

Hilary Hex

Impeccable vibes. Beautiful lighting and atmosphere, a wonderful place to study, visit with friends, or take a date. They even have some board games, cards, and pencil crayons in their cafe. The warm smell of croissants wafts through the cafe and the pain au chocolat is not to be missed. Delicious chocolate and with flakey buttery pastry, it's to die for. The chai latte was underwhelming, but still delicious. They have lots inclusive milk options as well. Definitely worth a visit.

TheHarsh Truth

I've been there twice. Not impressed. Staff not friendly at all, food overpriced (and coffee is watered down) Nowhere to sit. Culturally, Lara's is "sterile" in a neighborhood known for way more cooler, hipper & friendlier people and surrounding businesses. This new place is sort of a waste of a good location. Bring back the old laundromat!

Obaida ALbish

Josh Rooney

How fantastic the foam, how perfect the steaming of my london fog. Expertly crafted and oh-so delicious. On top of that, you might have some of the best service at any cafe in the city!

A very nice place. Today, had a pot of tea, and was surprised by the very reasonable price. Excellent service, and someone was setting up to play. As a working musician, this was just the thing to see. I rate this establishment at an easy 5 stars.

Very nice place

Rob G

I forgot to take pics as I was there for a meeting, but DAMN! This place is great! It's beautifully designed on the inside, the food was delicious, and for a small-ish spot they maximize the usage of the space and our conversation felt very private - lots of seating and we didn't feel like we were right on top of anyone else. It was busy at lunch on a weekday and I can see why - great spot worth checking out if you're feeling peckish or need a caffeine boost when in the North End.

Great atmosphere and ambiance, such a charming cafë!

JL Northorp

The waiter went around after I ordered a coffee and muffin and gave complimentary water to everyone except me and looked at me during this process. What do I looked like chopped liver? I will definitely be looking for another place to take my business.

I was visiting from out of town and I needed a place to work remotely while caffeinating. Cafe Lara fit the bill! The music is good, the ambiance is cozy yet has plenty of room to accommodate many laptops and free wifi. I'll definitely be back for more chocolate croissants and coffee!

Allen C. Fownes

Very tasty. Pricy though

I visited cafe Lara yesterday with a friend. We both ordered London Fogs-the best London Fog I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was relaxing, the service was exceptional. I’m lactose intolerant. They had lots of options for me, and recommendations when there were more options than I could process!!! I would definitely come back.

Stephen Haynes

It's new yes, but the vibe feels old, well-established, and like it's been in the swing of things for a very long time. Friendly staff, great customers, excellent coffee.

Horizon Eye Photography

Great atmosphere amazing staff and personally one of my favourite places for coffee!! When I need a place to relax and edit some photos this is my go to!!

Best cafe in Halifax. I come here almost everyday. Staff is so friendly. Coffee is good, and they have a great selection of non dairy milk and GF/vegan treats.

William Assaad

Jehezkiel Eugene

Great place to hangout with the stranger you just met or if you're going on a coffee date with the girl you just met in the bus. Awesome work-slash-study environment. Timely preparation and friendly staffs. I wish I could give the extra star but during my visit, my cocoa had a bit too much milk in it that it almost overpowered the cocoa. The first few sips were great until a bit later when the cocoa taste started to fade rather quickly.

Robert Muir

Excellent selection of hot drinks and food, delicious coffee, great service and a comfortable (safe) environment

Zainab Al-Habibi

Very clean. The atmosphere is nice but the music is loud. It has good variety of coffee and teas and other cold drinks. Their coffee and tea are good. It is environment friendly and they bake their own pies, they have other food options as well. Parking can easily be found but the cafe itself is small and can get busy.

Christopher Carmichael

A very cosy cafe with a warm hardwood aesthetic and roomy layout. Their tea service is good, with a pot of tea to yourself and a saucer and cup; I asked for honey and cream and got tons to spare in little silver pots. There's a small bar with liquor, and beer on draught. I've had samosas and chocolate coconut cookie things, and it's all good. The staff will bring food over when it's ready. There's patio seating out front for about a dozen people, and generous windows to look through. I like this place most out of the other cafes I've been to in downtown Halifax.

Habib Habib

Great Cafe and Great Service from Mia

Julie W

Tried it twice. Had a smoothie with a shot of expresso but it was on the bland side. Next time I had the chai latte. It was insanely hot and taste like nothing. Prices are a bit high. I prefer LF Bakery and Java Blend.

Jenny Jacquard

I had high hopes for this cafe, until I took a sip of my to go coffee and it was pretty much cold.

I live on Barrington Street, and still bypass all of the Cafes in between so I can enjoy the wonderful atmosphere that Cafe Lara provides. The coffee is delicious, as are the treats and croissant sandwiches. Lara is not just a pretty face, as she always makes me feel welcome every time I walk through the door! Great staff, cool vibe.. Highly recommend :)

Beautiful and friendly cafe, exactly what is needed for the neighbourhood vibe. Lara is charming and diligent, pays attention to details, and her staff are invariably lovely people to meet. Coffee and food items are exceptional, in a space that is fine for either relaxing or chatting. My favourite local.

Emma Cusson

Has to be the BEST cafe in Halifax, by far. The French inspired coffee shop has not only the best oat milk latte I've had in Halifax, but also amazing food. As a vegan they always have loads of options for me :). The staff always makes you feel welcome... it's a special place and I couldn't recommend it enough!

This cafe is the spot to be in Halifax for a modern professional feel. It's modern decor and friendly staff have a montreal-style feel, and the big beautiful windows satisfy all your sunshine needs! A sizeable open space to catch up with friends or a good book. Lara is an incredible young entrepreneur; sweet as can be! Check out this cafe and keep coming back for more!

Nate Campbell

Thomas MacDonald

Abby van der Jagt

Friendly staff nice clean modern atmosphere. The big windows that open in the front make the whole place very open and bright. The coffee was legit delicious!! There were little baguette sandwiches with brie cheese that looked delicious! Quiche and a few sweet selections would make a great snack. They also seemed to have a great smoothie selection. Wifi seemed fast and consistent. There was also a selection of wine and I didn't see what was included in the taps but there was a liquor licence posted so they at least serve wine in the evenings, I didn't see a menu for that so I may have been there too early. It was a bit crowded when I for there at 11am but there were tables available 15 or 20 minutes in. There were several seating options. Lower dining style and comfy chairs as well as tall bar height tables and counter seating at the window and bar area. Recommended.

Myriam Moquin

Excellent service and perfectly executed coffee. Their baked goods are really fresh and tasty. The ambiance is relaxed and the music is quirky and lovely even for this 50 year old !

I'll start off by saying it's excellent. The location is great, right in a pretty active part of Halifax. The cafe itself opens up on hot summers days for some fresh air while also having some outdoor seating. The beverages were excellent with a cold option being very welcome. We had a iced coffee (black) and a matcha latte (no sugar or sweetener) as well as a chocolate coconut ball. The iced coffee was good, not bitter, just a smooth cup of cold coffee. The iced matcha was good as well, with a strong enough matcha taste. The star was the coconut ball. I am however a bit biased toward coconut. A good dark chocolate taste coated every coconut piece. Prices was good, average for the locale and quality of goods.

Bev Love

My favorite locally owned coffee shop.

Cathy Grad

Loved the gluten free dessert options, great decaf americano and very cool ambiance.
