Lucy's was open on the coldest day of the year through a boil water advisory. They had bottled drinks and cold brew coffee that had started steeping before the advisory. Staff was really friendly and the coffee was great!

This is a nice quite little cafe just outside the downtown core of Halifax. It's inside a charming historic building and is a little small on the inside. The food and coffee i had while i was here tasted great. The staff were friendly and polite and i recommend a stop here when in halifax.

I stumbled upon Lucy's about a month ago and was immediately struck by the warmth and coziness of this little cafe. The staff is so kind and welcoming, the baked treats are delicious, and the coffee is piping hot! Supporting local is important to me, and having this little gem in my neighbourhood makes doing that so much easier!

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this coffee shop truly deserves one. The staff is amazing—always welcoming and friendly especially the Ukrainian girl, she always meets everyone with a smile on her face. Their pastries are absolutely delicious. I’ve been coming here since last summer, and they always recognize me. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel at home, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great coffee and a warm atmosphere!!!!

Great to see new ownership and rebranding after several years since Julian’s closed. Fantastic bread and baked items. Good coffee roasted by Javablend. Also I love that there is no automatic tip percentage offered at checkout with card—instead it gives option of no tip or custom amount giving the guest more control /less guilt about their tipping amount!!

Wonderful little space with a great staff, amazing coffee and a wide variety of incredible snacks to indulge in!
