General Info

The 5K Cafe sits quietly at 124 Chain Lake Dr, Halifax, NS B3N 3B4, Canada, but once you step inside, it instantly feels alive. This coffee shop has a relaxed, modern vibe that blends perfectly with its trendy atmosphere, making it a favorite stop for locals who want more than just a quick drink. The space feels welcoming and thoughtfully laid out, with wheelchair-accessible seating and enough room to settle in comfortably, whether you’re meeting a friend or opening your laptop for a few focused hours.

The menu leans into comforting flavors with a creative twist. One of the first things you notice is the rich aroma of freshly brewed Cappuccino drifting through the café. It’s smooth, well-balanced, and pairs effortlessly with their Ice Cream Sandwich, which feels indulgent without being over the top.

What customers say?

“ I had walked up the Chain Lake Trail. And this cafe was in the perfect spot for a rest and a bite to eat. I was told they just opened in June of 2022, so they've been there for less than a year. The food is good! I had a little devil sandwich. It was spicy, but the worker informed me beforehand that it would have spice in it. I really enjoyed the atmosphere too! Great experience. They had baked goods, too (cinnamon buns, cookies, etc.), and they also made a beautiful hot chocolate for me. ”

“ The 5K Cafe is one of my favorite brunch spots for there sandwiches and chips &salsa on the side. I also love the added pickle slice. The service has never not been friendly and I always have a pleasant experience when I eat in and/or take out. I also love there varieties of sweets they have and that they have local products to view as well. Recommend when you have time to grab a bite! ”

“ Food is meh, sometimes baked goods are a touch dry but the drinks and service are awesome. Love their coffee, lattes, and milk alternatives. The location is ideal after a run walk or bike ride on the trails. ”

“ Such a local gem! Stopped here on the way to Peggy’s cove, and had an amazing lunch. Chai latte was solid and so was the London fog. The pickle and chips that came with the sandwiches were a nice touch :) ”
