Anchored Espresso Bar & Toastery provides Quinpool Road with a welcome dose of artisanal coffee and pastries. It's located inside the premises of Pro Skateboards and Snowboards, where you can grab one of the scrumptious croissants and browse for some shoes. If you're in the mood to take it easy, grab a stool and bathe in the sun that (fingers crossed, it's Halifax) sometimes streams through the large front windows.
