Mary’s Place Cafe - Halifax, Nova Scotia

I recently enjoyed the Birmingham - a full breakfast with eggs, homefries, toast, and vegan homemade baked beans. I wanted to experience a diner breakfast while visiting Halifax and this definitely hit the spot. One star removed because the baked beans were a bit too sweet with a strong molasses ... flavour. The breakfast was also $15, which was higher in price that the menus posted online. The servers were very friendly and efficient. Read more

Mixed outcome at this diner for breakfast. Unpretentious interior with a selection of booths and some tables. Serving staff was friendly and topped off coffee frequently however, our order either got lost or misplaced. Eventually asked server to check on order. Expect in a small restaurant that the server should be ... able to observe that other meals are coming out ahead. Blueberry pancakes and omelet were good enough. breakfast potatoes are either deep fried or from a package not homemade pan prepared. Enjoy going out for breakfast, so would give it one more try and maybe go for eggs Benedict. Read more

Excellent food. Kelly and her team are awesome. Very friendly and attentive. Thank you so much! 10 min walk from Dalhousie U. (we stayed at the residence). Will definitely keep in mind next time we visit (from Toronto).

You'll have an excellent and quick breakfast at Mary's Place. I had a lovely bfast sandwich made with a croissant and my partner had the Birmingham. All very tasty! The only black mark on an otherwise great experience is finding out that we'd been charged more for the Birmingham than ... was advertised on the menu (shown as $13, charged $16). I would request that Mary's update their menu to reflect actual prices. Also the restaurant itself isn't properly ventilated and is very hot, particularly the bathrooms. The space could also use some sprucing up as it has a cafeteria feel. Read more

This place is fantastic! Reasonably priced, lots of gluten free options and the service is quick! The coffee is also pretty good. It can get busy but it is worth the wait. Their home fries do have a coating on them and they are really good but I don't think ... they're gluten free. I do recommend the champ. Their hollandaise sauce is a bit sweeter than I like it Read more
