Fireside Kitchen - Halifax, Nova Scotia

Found this spot in our search for gluten-free & dairy-free options in Halifax. So glad we did! The baked goods were amazing (we arrived right as the muffins came out of the oven and were still warm)! We left with cookies, which I am now devouring as I write this. The fact that this is a social enterprise is the absolute cherry on top, but don't for one second think you are going there as any sort of compromise; you are not, quite simply, some of the best gluten-free baking I have had anywhere. The service was friendly and made us feel like locals (the best compliment I can give to anyplace). I will also add, that by gluten-free standards, the prices are excellent ($3 for muffins, $1 for cookies).

I stumbled upon this spot by accident, and I'm so glad I did. What a great little bakery & café. The staff were so friendly. The baked goods are delicious, as is the coffee.
This will definitely be in my rotation of regular spots to grab coffee when in the city.

I ordered two boxes of gluten-free cookies to celebrate a birthday with my friends, one of whom is celiac. (I ordered the ginger cookies & chocolate crinkles. Twenty-six cookies fed six adults with a couple left over.)

The order was ready on time, the people at the cafe were fantastic, and the baked goods were phenomenal.

I will definitely be placing additional orders in the future for gluten-free treats!

Okay, so grateful that this place exists. The lemon cookies, chocolate by the seaside, chefs kiss so good. Pasta salad - also good but would love to see more tomatoes or veg in it! So happy to have a gf cafe! Can’t wait to come back

Great service from this wonderful social enterprise! My order of vegan cupcakes were delicious. Easy to place my order online. Staff were very responsive to emails.

I never knew gluten free could taste so good! Friendly staff and great coffee (from Just Us Roastery, so locally roasted and ethically sourced)

They make the BEST gluten free cookies I have ever had. I have been gf for almost a decade and have tried a lot of cookies. This place makes the best from Ontario to the ocean (cause I’ve tried them all, I swear). I was worried I ate the wrong cookies and had to check over and over.

This is the best gluten free bakery in the city. The staff are super sweet and the food is amazing. It is also affordable, which is a huge bonus. They make wonderful cookies boxes and cater too. Pictured is a cookie and 2 muffins which were only $7. I forgot my wallet and the staff let me have the items and told me to pay next time (which I will).

Update Dec 21st: went to pick up my Christmas cookie order and had to order extra cookies because they looked so yummy I knew I would want more. I really can't describe how good the cookies are that I ate so far. If you haven't gone you need to go. The prices are amazing and the staff are so friendly and nice.
