The Halifax Cheese Shop

I was surprised and happy to have received a picnic box as a gift from the Lemonade General Store. The brie and goat cheese were high quality and friends positively remarked how unique the taste was, hoping to get some for themselves. The handmade ice cream they produce in-house is also pretty delicious and I appreciate that they top it with a small shortbread cookie. Super cute store that has lots of artisanal items! I would recommend checking it out if you're looking to get a charcuterie board or are looking for a tasty gift that feels a little luxurious.

The Lemonade General Store, located in the charming Hydrostone District of Halifax, Nova Scotia, not only offers a thoughtfully curated selection of exceptional local & international culinary items, but there you may find an exquisite silk scarf from Italy, or a lovely tweed hat from Donegal, Ireland, just to name a few.
When I visited the shop for the first time, I was impressed with the variety over all. Also showcased are local & Canadian made items, in addition to books from Nova Scotian authors.
Sarah the owner is lovely, she went above and beyond for us, curating lux charcuterie baskets, each crafted with a selection of international and local items tailored to each person to whom they were gifted. Sarah not only offered us free delivery within the HRM, but she also took the liberty to contact each gift recipient to ensure they were received during the busy Holiday season.
I truly cannot say enough about Sarah, she is not only a supporter of local & Canadian small businesses, but also supports several community initiatives, such as Feed Nova Scotia. Sarah's passion for small business & our community, is just one more reason I shop at the Lemonade General Store.

First time, very pleasant shop, we were the first purchase the chicken curry pasty, really yummy, will be back!

Had a lovely mint ice cream with my daughter! The owner was lovely and kind! Can’t wait to return!

I’ve had the privilege of dealing with Sarah the owner. My goodness this lady has a heart of gold and it radiates from her!
She definitely has the true East Coast charm!
If you or your loved ones are lucky enough to cross paths with her, in the store or otherwise you surly won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Sarah for the kindness you’ve shown me. I very much appreciate it.
Beautiful store and owner all in one! 🍀

I have had the pleasure of shopping online as I reside out-of-province and I received excellent customer service from your business. Your professionalism and knowledge of your products was awesome! You went above and beyond to ship my items and even included a special treat for my dog Maddy. I definitely recommend your business and cannot wait to shop in person once our bubble opens up again!

I am so very pleased with my purchase from The Lemonade General. Sarah was not only helpful with my purchase, ( I got an amazing deal)!!! . She went out of her way to ship my purchase to me. I am in Prince Edward Island. I was so happy when it finally arrived. Sarah also added a special treat for us 😁 I would hands down say unreal customer service.

Cant say enough good things about this lovely shop and the people who run it. They really believe in the local community and give back every chance they can. We have been blown away by their support for our local charity, and also the amazing high quality of the goods they sell! Wish all shops had this friendly feel and made such an effort to build relationships. Also - the cheese!!! ❤
