Food is great lots of gluten free options !

Bob Villeneuve

What a great find!! Traveling in Halifax as a family with several food intolerances, we could not have been happier with the Gluten-Free, Vegan, and dairy-free options. Cozy spot, great service, and everything was very tasty. We've been in town two nights and had dinner here twice!

Krista Wright

Ate at Krave numerous times when my husband was in the hospital! Delicious food for someone who eats gluten free - love the buns!!!

Amazing food, Becka went out of her way to make it a wonderful experience especially for our daughter with Celiac. She's the best server we've had in many years. Definitely a go to spot!

JS Fletcher

Wow, I am very impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and I already know what I will try next visit. I had the Ultimate Club with delicious Dragon fries and a blueberry blast smoothie. Food is 100% vegan and very fresh. Great atmosphere, and the ladies working were very friendly and helpful. While I'm personally okay to eat gluten, they did have many gluten free options as well!

A quirky, fun neighbourhood coffee shop packed full of character! Decor and atmosphere were on point, and I loved every little detail. The gluten-free options were very tasty as well!

Soul Urge Revolution

I wish this place had a more authentic Venezuelan decore but besides that its perfecto!! The Empanadas are super yummy and gluten free, in fact all the food is I believe. Great service and amazing owners and definitely a must reccomend when visiting the Waterfront of Halifax.

A hidden treasure we just happened to find. Great place to meet up with friends in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The service was amazing, and the food was excellent. My husband has celiac, and not only did he have gluten-free choices on the menu, he really enjoyed the food. Best of all, he didn't have any negative reactions. We'll definitely be going back whenever we're on Halifax.

This is a more upscale restaurant and reservations are encouraged. First off the service was impeccable and the ambiance quite nice, including the dishware. As for the food: we were 4 people and 3/4 had amazing meals. They were accommodating of all our dietary restrictions, both celiac and allergies. One of us ordered the steak which came out cold but they immediately replaced it. Even the second time the steak wasn't quite the cuisson ordered but at least it was warm. The appetizers were all fantastic so were the desserts. If it weren't for the one main. This place would have gotten a perfect score. I would give it 4.5 if I could award half points.

The interior is beautiful, romantic enough, cozy, but the light is too dim for me (but this is my subjective opinion). Location - the restaurant is located in the down town, i.e. in the city center, which, unfortunately, means the absence of its own parking lot and you have to look for it, and it is paid even on weekends. Food - not very many, in fact, menu items if we are talking about the main dishes. There are few gluten-free dishes, which, for example, was a problem for us. We had to order soup and salad because we have restrictions on the types of meat we can eat and therefore, actually, vegetarian soup is all we could order. It was delicious, I have no complaints, but it's still a pity that there is such a limited selection of gluten-free meat dishes. We ordered tea and I liked that the tea cup was warm (despite the fact that it was empty), and the tea was served separately in a teapot). Service - everything here was top notch, the girl who served us was as attentive as possible, she knew the menu and the composition of the dishes well, she could tell us what dishes we could order, taking into account the restrictions we had. But still, I deducted one star. I was out of paper towels. As always, in the restaurant there is a cloth napkin in which the cutlery is wrapped and which we put on our laps when we eat, but I cannot wipe my lips, for example, with that napkin, for this I need paper ones, but they were not on the table and no one offered . This is my humble opinion, it was uncomfortable for me. Well, the shortcomings of the menu that I wrote about above also played a role in the evaluation. And in general, I can recommend this place, we liked it.

Gluten free options, cute decor! Delicious desserts! Service was great!

Dia Orengo

Delicious food, great experience. The fried plantain and Jerk Chicken waffles are amazing! Gluten free/ friendly options too

Laura Elisa

Hands down the best brunch in Halifax. I’ve tried 6 of their dishes and every single one was perfect. One of my friends is celiac and the menu had so many amazing options, truly a gem.

Absolutely love this place! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. The space is big, clean, and has a great atmosphere, perfect for a quick bite or a relaxed meal. I tried the smoothie and a burrito, and both were absolutely amazing. You can really taste the freshness in every bite. Highly recommend Harvest if you’re looking for healthy (vegan, gluten free), delicious food in Halifax!

I placed a catering order for my office. The food was very good, no issues there. I ordered and PAID for gluten free pita which I did not receive. When I brought this to the attention of the restaurant I was told we will make sure you get it next time. Sadly this is not something that my office does often so next would likely not be until next year. I was very disappointed with this response. Honestly I likely would not have left this review but the restaurant asked for a review so Im going to be honest and say that I was not overly happy with this order.

I was looking for a great cup of coffee and a bite to eat and noticed the good reviews and gluten free options. Sadly, I found the coffee underwhelming - very weak and flavorless. My GF breakfast sandwich tasted good and was delivered to the table by very personable staff but I found it to be expensive, for what it was. I also had a GF/vegan macaroon but it tasted nothing like a macaroon. It was very odd tasting making me wonder what I was ingesting. 🫢 Lastly, I wished I had not gone to the washroom; it was surprisingly dirty and did not appear to have been cleaned in a long while, a real turn off to eating there again. I thought I would like the place based on the reviews but there were just too many negatives for me.

They had gluten free options and were able to accommodate someone with celiac! The interior is really cute, our waiter was so sweet, and the food was delicious and a good price. Will be back soon!

Linda Newton

Cosy restaurant with amazing staff. Also a takeout area available. Huge variety of food & drink options, gluten free, vegetarian & vegan.

Taryn Cooper

I find it utterly ridiculous that to order a gluten free sandwich, I have to pay the same price as a regular sandwich but I am getting served half the amount of food. It is bad enough when restaurants charge extra money just for someone to eat a gluten free bun, but to be asking for that much money for that little food is disrespectful. Eating gluten free for many people isn't an optional lifestyle choice. It is medically necessary, and we shouldn't have to break the bank to eat out. What this is is ableism based in capitalism. The food here is sub par for the price I am paying. There are a few things that are definitely good enough that maybe the price is okay, but the vast majority is not. The kindness and skill of the staff is the one redemptive quality of the establishment. They are excellent servers and baristas. Every employee I interacted with was delightful.

Rachel is an absolute sweetheart! She was so so kind, and GENUINE, which is rare to come by. A broken down vehicle happened us upon this little gem, and it was an extremely pleasant experience that made us forget our troubles. That's saying a lot. Going to drop a bunch of keywords for you now lol : they have gluten-free ( GF ) pizza crusts ! And vegetarian pizzas, and vegan options! Yes, they have vegan cheese too. And an outdoor patio. Highly recommend 👌🏼⭐ stop reading reviews, go eat there now! Nom nom nom

Went for breakfast with a friend who is celiac and the menu and advertisement says gluten free but this is wrong. They are “gluten sensitive” all the gluten free options are still made on the same grills as all other things. She wasn’t able to eat much of anything. She had a large bowl of fruit. That was disappointing. My meal was 10/10 but because of her experience it made me not enjoy my time spent there.

Great place for Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant is gluten free friendly and comes with a huge portion size.

Erin VanSlyke

Excellent meal, nice atmosphere, friendly service and gluten free options. We really enjoyed our time here and will come back again.

Bliss Caffeine Bar never fails to exceed expectation. Bliss was the ideal choice to host a social event for our local research conference (private event with 100 people). Jenna made the entire planning and social event stress free. Her and the staff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Myself and a few other attendees have celiac disease or follow a gluten free diet and while they cannot promise cross contamination, Jenna went above and beyond and picked up rice crackers for the charcuterie boards (separate from the gluten free crackers). The food and drinks were delicious and beautifully presented. The venue is a first-floor level with no stair making it accessible for those with physical limitations. Thank you, Jenna and the Bliss Staff, for making our social event a success!

Lovely helpful staff, were able to clarify what was and wasn’t gluten free and were super patient with my dietary needs

Found this little gem on Lower Water St and now I am obsessed! The Green Goddess smoothie is definitely my favourite but they have one of the best gluten free brownies I have ever had! I love this place and the service is fantastic!

Gluten free garlic fingers! Amazing! I have very sensitive celiac disease and had no reaction, their preparation is excellent, expensive but worth it!

Incredible cocktails, crazy good food. Lots of gluten free/ celiac options. Make a reservation though - it's small and hard to get a table!

The most charming little cafe with a vast variety of the most decadent homemade desserts. Available also are small bites, brunch and savory eats. Very reasonably priced. Atmosphere is cozy and warm. Customer service was perfectly attentive but not at all aggressive. Pictured is a black americano which was perfectly balanced and a gluten free cheesecake brownie which was insanely scrumptious!

Raymond Connolly

Amazing breakfast platter, homemade potato slices made it that much better. You have to go looking for it, but so worth it. The only thing better than the food was the service, really good gluten free bread and dairy free milk for coffee. Will definitely come back :)
