About Us

Welcome to Slow Mornings. For 25 years, our business (operating as Alteregos) has served as a cornerstone of the Gottingen Street community in Halifax’s North End. What began in 2001 as a 25-bed backpackers’ hostel has become something more: a trusted community café, a gathering space, and a place where locals and visitors genuinely connect. To continue to serve our thriving neighbourhood, we now provide North End residents with fresh grocery staples within walking distance of home.
