There is something about tucking into a well-crafted latte in a cozy cafe that is unmatched in the dopamine department—and Downtown Dartmouth has a handful of excellent spots well-worth taking the ferry over to check out. The following cafes are all walking distance from the ferry terminal and each offer something special—whether its a baked-to-perfection croissant, books and vinyl, or the perfect corner booth for a casual first date.
If you’re looking for a pit stop to refuel between shopping and sightseeing along Portland Street or you’re just in search of the perfect spot to enjoy a hot beverage while diving deeper into a good read, you’ll want to add these addresses to your list for the next time you’re in Dartmouth.
Two If By Sea is widely regarded as one of the best coffee shops not just in Dartmouth—but in the entire province of Nova Scotia. The well-loved address serves a great cup of coffee but its claim to fame is truly its golden-hued croissants and cheeky croissant spin-offs that rotate on a weekly basis. If you’re lucky enough to catch it, you’ll want to try the Black Forest or Chocolate Cherry croissant.
Cafe Good Luck on Portland Street doubles as a casual restaurant with menu items like soups and sandwiches and even the occasional Prince Edward Island oyster. The cozy coffee shop is best known, however, for its oversized scones. Grab a scone and a hot beverage and post-up in a window seat on a rainy day if you want to experience the coffee shop equivalent of a bear hug.
If you’re looking for a cafe that feels like a momentary escape to Europe—you’ll want to head to Portland Street Creperie. The cafe and creperie serves up made-to-order crepes that range from Quebec-inspired buckwheat crepes and Paris-inspired goat cheese crepes to cheeky menu items like crepes with oreo cheesecake. Make sure to stop at one of the sidewalk tables if weather permits and take in views of the Halifax Harbour while enjoying your snack.
Cafe Marco Polo in King’s Wharf offers incredible waterfront views and a seasonal dog-friendly patio. The light-flooded cafe is pretty spacious so you’ll always be able to snag a good seat and tuck into a book (you’ll find a shelf of books available to borrow if you forgot yours at home). It’s also worth noting that Marco Polo transforms into a casual bar come evening with a small but tasty selection of beer and wine.
There’s something about a bookstore and coffee shop combo that makes hearts flutter—but Morley's Coffee takes it one step further. Not only does the well-loved coffee shop share its space with Friction Books but it’s also home to Taz Records—meaning you can step in for a great latte and leave with new fiction and vinyl to spin at home.

I didn’t mind that it was raining when I arrived in Cannes on a Tuesday afternoon in November. Strolling the small city on the French Riviera, best known for its annual celeb-studded film festival, I appreciated the sleepy beaches; the warm, salty breeze; the dearth of crowds or waits to be seated at restaurants. That evening at Le Fouquet's brasserie, as rain pitter-pattered on the ceiling of the heated terrace, the sommelier poured me a chilly Chablis to go with my crispy seared scallops. “Romantic, isn’t it?” he asked. I couldn’t help but agree.
