24 Best Coffee Shops near Lake View

“The Timmy's That Tops Them All!Ah, Tim Horton's—Canada's culinary beacon, a place where doughnuts and coffee reign supreme, and where I, a seasoned connoisseur of the fast-food fine arts, find myself almost religiously after the daily school drop-off ritual with my boys. Now, I've reviewed more Timmy's than I have fingers and toes (which is less than most), but this particular spot? It's the sprinkle on my doughnut, the cream in my coffee, the MVP of my morning routine!Let's set the scene: It’s a typical bustling morning, and here I am, steering my brood into our local Tim Horton's, which I swear must be run by caffeine-fueled wizards or, at the very least, the most organized band of baristas this side of the Niagara Falls. I’ve been coming here long enough that I'm half-expecting a plaque with my name—or at least a dedicated parking spot. But no such luck yet!This specific Timmy's isn't just a stop on the map; it's a beacon of consistency in the unpredictable odyssey of life. Many a time, I've witnessed the tragic comedy of misheard orders at other establishments, where "I said a double-double, not a trouble-trouble!" echoes through the establishment. But not here, oh no. Here, they get it right. Every. Single. Time. It’s like they’ve got some sort of doughnut divination skills.Over the years, I've sampled an impressive array of Timbit varieties, sipped every seasonal beverage (even the ones that made me question the nature of pumpkin spice), and I’ve become something of a local sandwich savant. And yet, despite the culinary roulette I play with each order, my local Timmy’s has maintained an unwavering record of precision. It's as if they've tapped into my very soul, reading my order before it's even whispered at the drive-thru.So, how do they fare on the "Zack's Best of Timmy's" leaderboard? Let’s just say, if I were handing out Timmy’s Trophies, these guys would be lugging home the grand prize. They’ve become such a staple of our daily lives that my boys might start thinking their middle names should’ve been Timbit, Double-Double, and Iced Capp.And let's have a little chuckle at the fact that despite the infinite complexities of my life—as a purveyor of fine advertising, a wrangler of three future gentlemen, and a partner to my better half—my day often hinges on the success of this pivotal morning transaction. It's a good thing then that this Tim Horton's has set the bar, and it's not just over a steaming cup of Joe, it's soaring high above it, with flying colors and a side of honey cruller.In conclusion, this Timmy's isn't just a pit stop—it's a part of the family. A deliciously reliable, heartwarmingly efficient part of our daily escapade. To the team that’s making the magic happen, keep up the extraordinary work. And just so you know, you've officially ruined me for all other Timmy's. How will I ever go back to mere mortal coffee shops after this?“

“I visited here for a coffee on a Tuesday afternoon.

I was really impressed with the relaxing atmosphere. There were plenty of places to sit. Some patrons were playing UNO as they had board games for patrons to enjoy while they are eating and/or enjoying their coffee.

I ordered a Radai Qahwa (smoothie flavors with subtle hints of spice). It was an excellent cup of coffee. I never experienced coffee which tastes like it. I definitely recommend it.

Staff is very hard working and very friendly.

This is a great spot for a great cup of coffee.“

“Always a friendly environment!!“

“just a super cozy place where everyone is really friendly and everything tastes great. definitely recommend.“

“Their pastries are amazing and the fish fry on Fridays' is amazing ! The fish is prepared perfectly and is huge, and sides are delicious and the price is so reasonable! Honestly the portions were so much more than the typical fish fry's offered on Fridays at most establishments!!“

“Great customer service! Thanks for quick response to my request of coffee flavor not on website. Karen was able to complete my favorite Eggnog flavor request, as this was an out of town order. I have placed numerous orders previously with their care and attention. Thank you!“

“By far one of my favorite boba shops. I really like how they now have a kiosk where you can order and look at all the options. You can combine several flavors, choose sweetness level, and add whatever boba you’d like.
Their Bills-related flavors are always really delicious too. I wouldn’t say the staff is super friendly but I’ve never had a bad experience. The parking lot can get a little packed but other than that, I love coming here for bubble tea.“

“Food was fantastic, I even got more timbits then what I asked for! The deals on the app were confusing so I couldn’t get my hot chocolate cheaper, and instead took off my timbit deal. One employee there named Gracie is also extremely helpful and shows good character!“

“Every Sammie that I’ve got there has been very enjoyable but I am now obsessed with the ‘Larry’….basically a tofu salad sammie served on their famous sourdough toast with side of greens with their balsamic vinaigrette Try it…..you will love it!“

“Had breakfast here on a Monday morning. I had the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with a coffee.

Food and coffee was prepared quickly, and the both were delicious.

Serving staff was very friendly.

The dining area was very clean. This location is equipped with a nice fireplace.

Nice relaxing area to eat. Several people were having a nice friendly conversations while enjoying their meal. The restroom was very clean too.

It is a very nice Tim Horton's location.“

“I had such a great experience at this Starbucks. My drink was running a little behind because they were incredibly busy and short a bar, but the staff handled everything with so much kindness and professionalism. My little sister is a Starbucks Barista at another location so waiting never bothers me, I know how busy it can be. They unexpectedly gave me a gift card for the wait, which was completely unnecessary but so appreciated.

What impressed me most wasn’t the gift card, it was how genuinely kind and hardworking everyone was despite how hectic things were. You could tell the team cared about their customers and about doing their best under pressure.

Exceptional customer service like this deserves recognition. Thank you to the entire team for turning a small delay into such a positive experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Spot is such a cozy place to have breakfast or lunch! Amazing atmosphere! Food is really good. We love the staff and everyone feels welcome there! Thank you Katie for everything you do!“

“Great beverages, Professional barista 💙“

“I don’t typically leave reviews, this Starbucks is the only Starbucks I’ve been to that consistently has good coffee, good food, and good workers. I see them busting their butts anytime I go. They get two drive lines backed up and they clear them out the best they can. I love this location.“

“I am typically a daily morning customer around 645am and there are three particular employees that deserve recognition for the friendly service they provide on a daily basis. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the young male manager and young girl drive thru attendant (I believe her name starts with a J) but I do know that the other worker is a young man named Kam. I just feel it is necessary to recognize and commend their friendly attitude and service that I receive every morning. I hope that your company will treat them well to maintain their loyalty and hard work and that they may be rewarded in the very new future as they truly deserve it.

0/26 the manager’s name is Nick and the young girl’s name is Jiavonna.“

“Love the outdoor patio“

“I like the coffee, I don’t like being charged different price when I come in. The guys that work the weekends are charging customers different prices!!! No more!“

“As someone whose sister was a Starbucks barista, I’ve seen firsthand what a well run Starbucks looks like and this is one of them.

The drinks are consistently made correctly, the staff is friendly and efficient, and they keep the store clean even when it’s busy. Everyone works well together, and you can tell they actually care about the customer experience. It’s refreshing to find a location that’s so consistent. Definitely one of the best Starbucks around.“

“For the second time at the tim hortons on mckinley and southwestern in a row the girl in the drive through was Sara. She was so bubbly, friendly and very good. She had made it not a chore to go through the drive through. Not like many of the curmudgeonly ones I come across(not just Tim Hortons by the way). I just wanted her to get recognized for the great job she is doing.“

“Best Tim Hortons around, sucks to be connected to a HORRIBLE gas station with horrible workers. Everyone at this Tim hortons is VERY friendly and gives great customer service. I will only be coming here through the drive thru since the gas station is awful! Thank you tim hortons for great coffee and FRESH food.“

“Whenever I’m in town I always make a trip to Tim Horton’s“

“Avocado toast is 🔥 Pumpkin spice doughnuts were awesome! The service was amazing“

“And awesome hot chocolate and awesome customer service the best greeted me good morning 🌞 and asked how my day going and also said you have an awesome day that’s what we need in all the stores it makes me very happy 😊 when another person is bright and Cherry in the am and even in the pm“
