“Love that they have so many drink options and even different sizes to choose from, which is great! I haven’t personally tried their food or pastries yet, but they look amazing. We were a bit unprepared and ended up missing the gallery this time, but definitely looking forward to checking it out next time“

“Food here is amazing. Tash is amazing“

“By far my favourite place to eat in Hamilton! They have incredible sourdough donuts, delicious coffee, stunning atmosphere (with great finishes and art!) and hands down the BEST pizza in town - move over Shorty’s, Cafe Baffico has you beat! Also the staff is so friendly and welcoming. If you have a chance, definitely check this gem of a place out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love the turkey bacon club! Great prices, and the wedge fries are the bomb! So good!

Service excellent, though you may wait for the cooked meals but worth the wait!

“Stopped by here today to try it out place is very busy but to be understanding as the food was great staff was very friendly and you can’t beat there prices for the food they offer everything was fresh we will be back sooner then later thanks again and good luck with your new business“

“I stopped by this location today on the way to work to grab some coffee. It is located in the path on king street.

From the first moment I entered, the lady at the cash welcomed me so warm with a beautiful smile. The store vibe was so cool and positive. It smelled like fresh coffee and donut.

I grabbed a large coffee and I can say it was damn fresh and smelling super nice. You can add your own creamer which is what I really liked about this place.

The whole place was super clean and bright. The lady at the cash was, again, super warm and fast to help. The person who gave me my order as well was super nice with a nice smile.

They have this fresh water and lemon for free so you can start your day fresh.

Price wise, I prefer coming here to other franchise stores, like tims or starbucks. I liked the service and friendliness of staff pretty much alot and the whole store vibe attracted me to come back again.

As it is located in the path, so its hard to find parking if you are driving.

Parking: Its located in the path so its harf to find parking“

“We recently ordered from them for our school graduation ceremony and the service was outstanding! The food was fresh, appetizing and exactly as ordered. They exceeded our expectations. Will be a repeat customer for sure, well done!! We ordered from Giselle at the Bovaird and Torbram location and she was an absolute sweetheart to deal with and went above and beyond!“

“Grabbed a schnitzel sandwich for their Tuesday special, and it was great. They really appreciated my service, and we're very polite, kind, and generous with the toppings.

Their banana chocolate chip muffins are amazing as well.“

“We might be bias as one of nearly 50 vendors in the Hamilton Farmers Market, but we think the market is great! The people here have a passion for their products and are eager to connect with customers. Shopping at the market is not just “grocery shopping,” it’s an opportunity to engage with the local food community and meet the people who make your food. There is something for everyone at The Hamilton Farmers Market!“

“The best Crèpes in Hamilton! Very nice service and enjoyable food! Thank you a Menagerie ( Mother of the owner) fir making this delicious crépes!“

“Went in after a couple appointments in the building, out of convenience and because the food smelled so good! I ordered the BLT and western (along with a coffee for my hub), everything was made fresh and was very tasty! The lady that served me was very friendly from the moment I walked in... it was great customer service!!!
Even if I do not have any appointments in that building, I think we will be running in for lunch!
😉👍“

“Stopped in for an espresso with a friend - have to say this spot is new to me! Well priced, smiling staff, just an overall great energy especially with the music students bustling around! You can just the good vibes in the air. We were lucky to enjoy a small solo show while enjoying our coffee (talk about timing!!) and it brought me back to my younger instrument playing years for sure! Nice spot ? however busy busy ! ??“

“The food, staff, decor and everything else about this place is fantastic. Brought a big group of friends (even my 13yo niece) and everyone loved the food and had a great time. We will definitely be going here again next time we are in the Hamilton area.“

““This Tim Hortons location stands out for its consistently exceptional service and friendly atmosphere. I stop by three to four times a day, and every visit is met with warm smiles and efficient service. The staff are genuinely kind, attentive, and always go above and beyond to make customers feel welcome. It’s rare to find a team that maintains such a high standard every single day. Whether it’s a quick coffee run or a longer break, it’s always a pleasure to visit. Truly one of the best Tim Hortons experiences I’ve ever had!”

“Try the Iced Caramel Latte, it's the best! Also the coconut raspberry tarts are to die for!“

“Simply amazing place. 5 star is an understatement it should be +10Stars!

Incredible elevated quality (locally sourced) food worth every penny. Owner and staff were so welcoming and dedicated to deliver quality. The sour dough bread is top notch!“

“Cool coffee place in Westdale with interesting beer options, and a wide café menu thats is generally overpriced. The service is generally good, but has been awkward before. Nice to go by, but doesn't stand above and beyond nearby options.“

“Friendly staff with local foods (though not too many options) and a big space. Came for lunch but they were out of sandwiches, so I went for a smoothie. They have free wifi and a big patio, as well as some tables/bar inside and a big garage door that can be open for a nice breeze in the summer. They also have a “good share” box outside that you can donate food to or take if you need it.“

“every time i go into the shop, im always served by THE sweetest girl! the blonde girl named Jennah, she’s got the best attitude and costumer service skills i’ve seen, always got a smile on her face and willing to help out when needed! definitely keeps me coming back :)“

“I had the breakfast poutine (minus the egg) this morning and it was superb. Very large portion, beautifully crisp fries and the amounts of cheese curds, bacon and sausage were very generous. We will definitely be back!“

“Ranosh Restaurant is without a doubt the absolute best dining experience anyone could ever ask for, a true gem that sets the gold standard for what a restaurant should be in every single way, from the moment you walk in you’re immediately embraced by an atmosphere that is both warm and elegant, with stunning décor, spotless cleanliness, and an inviting ambiance that makes you feel instantly comfortable yet also like you’re somewhere truly special, and the service is on a completely different level, with staff who are not only attentive but genuinely kind, professional, and unbelievably quick, anticipating your needs before you even think of them and making you feel like a valued guest every single second you’re there, while the food is simply perfection in every bite, bursting with flavor, cooked to absolute excellence, and presented beautifully like a work of art, with portions that are both generous and satisfying, and whether you’re tasting their appetizers, main courses, or desserts, everything is consistently delicious and unforgettable, leaving you craving more even after you’re completely full, and the drinks are equally impressive, refreshing, and perfectly paired with the dishes, while the overall vibe of the restaurant is a flawless blend of comfort and luxury, ideal for families, couples, friends, or even a solo outing, making it the go-to spot for any occasion, whether casual or celebratory, and on top of all of that, the prices are shockingly reasonable for the exceptional quality and experience you’re getting, making every visit feel like an incredible value, so it’s honestly impossible to compare Ranosh Restaurant to any other place because nothing else even comes close, it’s simply the best restaurant you will ever go to, a place that leaves you with not only a full stomach but also with joy, satisfaction, and the certainty that you’ve just experienced something truly special. Best food I have ever had ans reminded me of my childhood days where I was truly happy. Would recommend to everyone. 10 stars. I also love their server named Eshaq, he is very kind and generous!“

“For being on campus food it’s probably one of the best locations — can get very busy around 8pm and crowded along w/ the second cup line. Food is always hot and fresh from the order line, and I haven’t come across anything raw yet. Some other foods like the wraps aren’t as good. Fries are usually over-fried but again, still good fries. One warning: sometimes they don’t know how to make the orders… for example I got chili twice but once it had cheese curds and crunchy bits, the other time it had salsa and sour cream. Which is odd (it’s supposed to come with salsa and sour cream) I also ordered a BCG poutine that was supposed to come with bacon, green onions, and sour cream, but It came with just bacon and some random shredded cheese? I mean I liked it but not what I ordered, double check with them if you’re really stingy about it though otherwise it’s a gamble.“

“Great place to meet up with friends! Always the best service!“
