Located at the heart of Coldbrook, Nova Scotia, T.A.N. Coffee is not just a café; it’s a cherished gathering spot for locals and visitors alike. With its cozy ambiance and inviting atmosphere, this café feels like a warm embrace from the moment you step inside. The subtle aroma of freshly brewed coffee intermingles with the scent of homemade pastries, igniting your senses and beckoning you to take a moment to pause and indulge.

As you survey the menu, an array of enticing options awaits. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly brewed cup of coffee or a comforting hot chocolate, T.A.N. Coffee has something to satisfy every palate. One standout item on the menu is the delicious sausage roll, a flaky pastry filled with a savory blend of flavors that has customers raving. The rich lattes, often accompanied by freshly baked cookies, have become a signature choice for many regulars. One delighted customer, L Silver, whose taste buds were tantalized by the sausage roll, playfully suggests, “Try one... and then try another!”

The true charm of T.A.N. Coffee lies not only in its delectable offerings but also in its remarkable staff. Reviewers frequently speak of the warm personalities that greet them, especially singling out the early-morning shift worker praised by James Craig for her incredible demeanor. It’s this friendly, neighborhood vibe that transforms a simple coffee run into a delightful experience. Similarly, Bernard Toews highlights the combination of awesome drinks and the friendly service from Holly, making each visit memorable.

While the café boasts a delightful menu, it does have a unique quirk: closing time is at 2:30 PM. Laura Kelland-May humorously notes that if you're looking for that afternoon caffeine fix after hours, you might have to roam across the street to Tim Hortons. This slightly early closing only adds to the cafe’s charm, encouraging patrons to embrace those midday moments of relaxation before the doors close.

The café's design is equally inviting, with a laid-back atmosphere that welcomes you to settle in, enjoy your drinks, perhaps even catch up on some reading—as Dylan Schofield reminisces about his teenage years spent reading comics over hot chocolate. It's these little touches and shared experiences that make T.A.N. Coffee a beloved staple in the community.

If you're passing through Coldbrook or looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a coffee and a bite, T.A.N. Coffee should be at the top of your list. With its commitment to quality beverages, delicious treats, and exceptional service, you’re bound to leave with a smile and perhaps even a new favorite hangout. Remember, make it there before closing time for a special taste of what this wonderful café has to offer!

The girl who works from 6am til noon is incredible. Such a warm personality and friendly. Give her a raise!

Used to come here as a teenager and read the comics in the newspaper with delicious hot chocolate, hoping to re-live this experience when lockdown is done.

Had an excellent cup of tea here. London fog tea. The person behind the counter was friendly and interested. The weird thing about this coffee shop is that it closes at 2.30pm. if you're looking for an afternoon coffee fix you may have to skip across the street to tim Hortons. There is a good selection of cookies (I had chocolate chip-fair) and pastries. Recommend, but get there before closing!
