Dine-In
Start your day with a Halifax breakfast, artisan coffee, and fresh pastries, or drop by for a laid-back lunch at The Bird’s Nest Café — a cosy, downtown spot that’s fully wheelchair-accessible. Savour expertly crafted dishes, freshly baked treats, and the easygoing vibe that makes it a favourite for both locals and visitors.
Take-Out
If you're on the go, grab one our amazing ham and egg breakfast wraps, an artisan coffee, or fresh pastries, or pick up a lunch for later — all made fresh and ready for takeout in recycled packaging. Enjoy the same expertly prepared dishes and baked-from-scratch treats you love in a convenient way. You can even order up to six items in advance here (we want to make your day a little easier for you!).
Made from scratch
At The Bird’s Nest Café, everything is made fresh daily using locally sourced ingredients. The team starts early, firing up the ovens before the first customers arrive so muffins, pastries, and breads come out warm and ready to enjoy. From breakfast to lunch, every dish is crafted with care, supporting local suppliers and giving you that just-baked, from-scratch goodness every time.
Community
Since 2008, The Bird’s Nest Café has been a proud part of Halifax’s community, earning a reputation as a respected downtown spot. Popular with locals and office workers, we’re all Haligonians here — it’s more than just a place to eat, it’s a place to connect. Being part of this community, supporting local causes, creating meaningful employment, and fostering a friendly space for everyone, is at the heart of everything we do.
