Welcome to Alteregos Cafe & Catering

“ Its a really great café with nice staffs. The food options are very unique and special. Anyone travelling Halifax Downtown should visit this place. ”

“ We had a lovely experience! The breakfast sandwiches were a delicious addition to our coffees! ”

“ Fantastic little cafe on Gottingen Street. Very warm, cozy room, I really enjoyed my visit. I tried the London Fog tea at the barista’s suggestion and I’m glad I did: it was wonderful, as was the bacon cheeseburger. The ingredients were as fresh as if I had gotten it at some expensive, upscale restaurant on the waterfront- except it tasted better and at half the price. Alteregos Cafe is actually quite an important business in the community. Not only does it serve excellent coffees, teas, and food at prices everyone can afford, but it also takes in travelers needing an inexpensive place to stay, for the cafe is attached to a backpackers hostel. (Speaking of which, the young lady who made my tea deserves a raise in pay: besides preparing my tea, she also made my burger AND checked in a bunch of guests. All things of which she did amiably and professionally.) The only other place I’ve enjoyed eating at as much as Alteregos is The Henry House. **Added shortly after: This is NOT a “sketchy area”. I thought it was a perfectly lovely area; the few people I passed were friendly, there’s some other great businesses open on both sides of the street, and there’s some brilliant old homes I took pictures of as I headed down Cunard Street. Maybe it used to be bad, but it’s a nice neighborhood to walk around and explore now because I had a great time. (Also, the breathtaking St Patrick’s Church needs a community fundraiser though... it’s too beautiful to stand silent all week except for two hours on Sunday morning.) ”

“ love this space !! the vibes are lovely in there and rielle made me the best iced vanilla latte ive had in a while because it was made with care and friendship :,) ontario loves alteregos ”

“ Another coffee shop I haven't paid much attention to and now regret it. Love the vibe and the clientele. Staff seemed nice but didn't have much chance to chat. Will go again for sure. ”

“ Absolutely lovely Gem In the north end of Halifax, staff were super friendly and kind and the food and drinks were great ...when I return from Cape Breton I will be trying it again ”

“ Fantastic samosas. We especially liked the coriander chutney and the matcha latte and the cappuccino. Everything was fabulous. ”

“ Incredible food and a really relaxing atmosphere make this a favorite lunch spot. Stop by early to get your hands on the famous jerk chicken, so delicious it never lasts long. We will both order the same dish if it's still available. ”
