Went for the Nutella noodle cheesecake (March 11-5, 2025 only) and left with the peanut butter cheesecake too. Sweet Hereafter is an adorable cheesecake and coffee/tea restaurant, perfect for a date, catch up, late night dessert or to take out. It’s a ‘Ma and Pa’ business, locally owned and operated and the Pa makes all the recipes. And they have gluten free options. They’re closed on Sundays and Mondays so plan ahead. So glad it’s on my dessert choice list now!

My partner and I always come for special occasions and have a wonderful experience. The service is always great, we’ve had a couple great servers who have been very personable and make the experience that much better, and the food is amazing. I am celiac (needing gluten free), and I always appreciate when the complimentary gluten free focaccia is brought to the table, and it’s delicious! I also am obsessed with their chicken penne pasta, highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t!

Stopped by the shop on 10 Aug 2024 and was excited to see so many flavour options available. I was also impressed to see so many lactose free, gluten free and even some vegan options were available! The in-house made blueberries n' cream and strawberry ice creams are phenomenal!

Had lunch at The Church Brewing Co. one day last week while visiting family in Nova Scotia. Plenty of gluten-friendly options. I had the 'Tequila Chicken & Corn Tostadas'. They were really good! The service was attentive. The location is very unique. Would highly recommend if you're ever in Wolfville.

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.

my family ate here the other day. i ordered the gluten free chicken pasta, and was very specific about my celiac allergy. our waitress brought it out quickly and i was very excited! unfortunately after my first bite i found fettuccini at the bottom of the bowl, which is the glutinous pasta they originally offer for the dish. i alerted her of the mistake, and i was given a brand new dish and it was paid for on the house. she apologized profusely for the error. despite the mistake, it was DELICIOUS. my family also enjoyed their meals, and their allergies were well taken care of.

Service was great, everyone was friendly and accommodating. I tried the smash burger and wow, it was amazing. The sauce on it is so flavorful and the beef was great, highly recommend. My partner tried the Philly sub which was okay, he regretted not trying something different. They also have gluten free buns and options!

We came to the east coast this fall for an anniversary trip and this restaurant was by far the highlight. Friendly service, excellent homemade food, and the best lobster roll of the whole trip. Plenty of celiac/ gluten free options (including the above mentioned lobster roll!). We ate here 3 times in a week. I don't know if its a usual event, but they also had a live 'kitchen party' style open mic night that had some impressive talent.

One of my favorite dinners during our visit to Halifax. My family stayed in the neighborhood and walked here for dinner one night. Fantastic food, drinks, and atmosphere. I also have some dietary restrictions (gluten-free / dairy-free)and they were so kind and willing to accommodate. Would definitely go back next time I visit the area!
