Ce lieu est tellement cute et chaleureux. On s'y sent bien. Les serveurs sont aussi très sympathique. Et c'est très propre.

Having a delightful and restful break between errands at the Glitter Bean Cafe, on the corner of Spring Garden and Carleton, Halifax. The staff are friendly, and the coffee and the Artichoke/Red Pepper/Mozerella Tea Buiscuit are delicious. Check out their menu and visit the next time you are in the area. Highly recommended.

I can never understand why someone who is easily annoyed by social interaction would work in a customer facing role; maybe it’s because I’m a cis male, maybe it’s because I’m brown skinned? — regardless, the girl with curly brown hair (and white skinned) came off immediately rude and dismissive (which I’ve now noticed other reviewers point out as well),

Any cafe can sell halfway decent coffee (which this place does accomplish) but the coffee itself is always accompanied by who is preparing it (and in some way or another ‘imbues’ it so to speak with their personality, attitude, presentation; etc.). In a place where inclusivity and equality is supposedly held in the highest of regards, I found it ironic (or maybe even offensive) that the people representing the business and these values have no time for their customers (aka…. The people paying them).

All in all, the glitter was cool but not worth the trouble. Too many other places to go to!

I passed this cafe by chance and I am really glad I stopped by to check it out. It’s an old house converted to a cafe like a lot of small cafe and store in Halifax.
It’s an old house and it surely gave a very homey comfy feel inside.
It’s a big place for a cafe, they have several options for sitting area. They have communal table, high table and chairs, sofa for lounging and regular 2-4 seater tables.
I ordered Fudge Brownie to go because I am in a hurry but will definitely come back here for a sit down meal and just to relax.

A gem so close to the Tupper Medical building. I stopped into the Glitter Bean in the afternoon for a tea and a blueberry muffin and it was so good! Saved the day. I had to get my order to go but it is a very bright, cute spot where it is also nice to sit and chill a while.

Shared a lunch with my daughter here. Apple & brie grilled cheese sandwich on excellent bread, a blueberry muffin (LOTS of blueberries) and 2 cups of Maritime Breakfast tea. Great service, great vibe here. Support the Glitterbean!

Love this place! Their seasonal menus are always fun and creative and I can trust my favourites on the main menus to always be banging! The staff is great, the vibes are fantastic (their instagram is super funny and they post about events in store and local all the time you should follow them). My favourite cafe in Halifax! They still do masking Sundays and a bunch of other accessibility features which makes it not only diverse but accessible and welcoming for EVERYONE! Many will say this but the glitter bean DELIVERS!

It's a great place to stop for coffee or baked goods, it's always quiet and cozy and the staff are always friendly. If you are working on a laptop or want to finish a book, this is a great place to do so.
