Pavia Gallery Espresso Bar and Cafe

Halifax’s best coffee shops

The original Pavia Gallery, located in Herring Cove, is modelled after an Italian-style espresso bar. This licensed café has an on-site bakery, art gallery and weekend waffles! Now, Pavia has a downtown presence at the brand new Halifax Public Library. There are actually two cafés in the library: One on the ground level and one on the top floor with lots of natural light and a great city view. The drip coffee at Pavia is locally roasted, but they import their espresso from a micro-roastery in Florence. The menu features Panini, soups and baked goods with a locally sourced emphasis.
