25 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?“

“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!“

“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!“

“Refreshing & delicious 😋

We purchased 2 iced teas on a hot day & loved them.

The citrus mint green tea was divine. I added honey & lemon.

Also the mango green tea. Yum!

We will be back!“

“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!“

“Great beverages, Professional barista 💙“

“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!“

“As a regular customers the first shift morning girls are absolutely amazing. Good attitude, fast service, great customer service & always a pleasure even first thing in the morning ! I never wait long in the drive through, both me and my daughter come here every morning. No other tim Hortons can compare. Thank you Jenna, Sam, Megan & the rest of the morning staff.“

“Visited here on a Wednesday afternoon. I had a large Americano.

The service was very friendly and efficient.

Nice relaxing atmosphere and very clean.

One of the better Starbucks I've visited.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the outdoor patio“

“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.“

“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“

“Tim Hortons has the best coffee I’m a big fan of their coffee and sandwiches Went to this particular Tim Hortons while in Buffalo It looked good and was well stocked with the amazing Tim Hortons tumblers coffee and all
However was disappointed with the dark roast coffee tasted a little off
The coffee was double the price than in Canada Disappointing!!
There was no body there to buy coffee for the time I was there
The ambiance was good and the service fine“

“This is my go to Starbucks, mostly every time I’ve walked in to get my drink the employees are nothing but nice. My drinks are almost always made properly. Parking lot can be very busy and tricky sometimes to get around as people drive in and out but it’s overall such a pleasant and clean place to get some Starbucks.“

“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“

“The drink was good. I got a triple mocha coffee chiller. The prices are… okay. The customer service was good. Wait time was little to none, my drink tasted good, and I saved myself 2 bucks on the app. I wish the deals were better, and it wasn’t as expensive. I guess that’s everything nowadays.“

“This feels like a high rating for a Tim Hortons honestly, but I had a tuna fish sandwich here and I didn't get sick which was good. I feel like tuna fish at a tim Hortons is a wild idea, but it was good and I had a nice coffee. It's a very scenic Tim Hortons as you can see the lake. I've also had timbits here and they were also good. This was my review.“
