50 Best Coffee Shops in Hamilton

“I stopped by this coffee shop after visiting Hamilton for a concert. It felt like discovering a hidden gem. Inviting atmosphere. Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Tasty coffee and one of the best almond croissants I've ever had. I wish I lived locally so I could visit every day.“

“I absolutely love their Iced Genmaicha, my mother also said their Vanilla latte was the best she’s ever had. The cafe has character and a positive ambience to it. The Baristas are very helpful and kind. Every time I visit Hamilton, this is a MUST stop. Best coffee and tea in Hamilton. I highly recommend it and hope they stay for years to come. Truly Exceptional.“

“Good but expensive. Like airport latte prices. Thats the only place ive paid over $8 for a coffee. Once you tip you might as well have bought lunch. But I'll say this expresso is like rocket fuel. Very similar affect to coffee ive had in the Dominican Republic. If you need to lock in or be up for 2 days this is for you. 😮‍💨“

“Smalls is my favourite place to grab a coffee, latte or a London Fog!!! I love grabbing a drink there and walking down James Street to do some shopping! The baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable!!! They know their coffee!!! Mmm 😋 10 out of 10 hidden gem! ✨ 💎 ☕️“

“The pastry’s are delicious and drip coffee was good! I came at opening and was surprised to see the sitting area almost completely full not even 10 minutes after opening. There is seating outside but we fortunately got one of the last remaining tables inside.“

“The best place for breakfast in Ontario bar none. Service is a treat“

“I went because I wanted a caffe where I could take my dog, and I wasn’t expecting much. But I was happily surprised the food was excellent, the coffee was great, and the service was amazing, they are very friendly and kind. I would definitely be coming back often. This place is not only if you have a dog it’s a great Coffee house!!“

“Great selection of photography books. Kindest barista ❤️“

“Their delivery service is amazing! A great selection of products, fair prices and fantastic quality.“

“Amazing service and drinks“

“I’ve been going to MySweeTooth for almost a year now. They have a variety of drinks and pastries. I have to say not everything on the menu is my taste, but I’ve still always enjoyed my experience there. The owners are so nice! And I always feel like a valued customer when I am there. Some of my favourites are there Mango Slushy with Coconut Cream Jelly or Ice Cream and their Hot Dog milk buns. Just this week I finally had the chance to try their fresh Strawberry and Mango mochi, WOW! I think the thickness of the mochi really complements the cream inside well. Even if you only have the chance to go their once, it’s defiantly worth it.“

“I had a cappuccino and the gluten free bacon waffle. The waffle was delicious, the bacon was real and think, not grocery store bought. It was great service, great coffee, would be great to have coconut milk as a nondairy alternative.“

“Great place to pick apples. Apples are amazingly delicious. Trees were plentiful. We definitely will be back again.“

“A quaint neighborhood cafe with live music occasionally and open-mic on Tuesday evenings. The side patio is lovely with shady spots during the summer heat and plenty of parking. 10 outta 10 recommend 🙂“

“My two year old is lactose intolerance I dropped in and Chocolate on James had some vegan selections. did he ever love it!!! all the chocolate is so 😋 😋“

“Our fav is their Half and Half. Tried a few flavours and all seem to be perfect. What we don’t like is the absurd self-made rule of stop serving milk shakes 15 mins before closing. Turned around two times now for being 2 mins late and the excuse that they just washed the blenders. They should honour the customer rather than giving these excuses. When your closing time is 10pm then you should be serving everything on the menu until that time or change your closing time to 9:45pm and ask your people to start washing blenders after that. Good food is one thing but having such an attitude towards customer destroys everything. The owner or whoever is making these rules should take notice“

“Great staff and breakfast“

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

“Amazing“

“Lovely little spot on Barton E, close to hospital. Alice was wonderful making sure we were happy with our beverages and meal. We splurged and had the steak and eggs. Soooooo good. The cafe is on the pricey side but the food is excellent. Will go again for sure.“

“Staff at this location are incredibly friendly and polite. They treat you well and always make the drinks perfectly. While the service can occasionally be a little slow, they make sure to politely let you know ahead of time that it will take a moment. That level of courtesy and care really sets them apart from other Tim Hortons locations.“

“pretzels!! and just coffee. simple. lovely“

“I went here several times while in town visiting family because it was so good. Every coffee drink was delicious and each food item I tried was great. This is where I'll always go for my morning coffee in Hamilton! Super nice staff and a wide variety of options, food and beverage.“

“Best tasting bubble tea in Hamilton, chalkboard wall is a nice feature and is unique to D’s Cafe.“

“the puffs were great! they were fresh and warm when i got them. if you have a sweet tooth this is for you! i wouldn’t recommend getting this if you prefer foods not too sweet!
the choco bueno was amazing and i would buy this again!! I got reece’s too but they weren’t my fav“

“Great coffee and service. The baked goods are always great too. My fave breakfast is their yogurt parfait with homemade granola.“

“Aroma offers a wide range of drinks and food menu. One of my friends go to coffee shops. I personally love their Aroma chocolate drinks and their pastries especially Alfajor. Although the prices are quite costly. They also have healthy food items like salads and veggie sandwiches.

The servers are very accommodating and always smiling. They give out mini chocolates when you order a coffee. The place is quite small and is located in The Path.“

“Had an ice brown sugar shaken espresso here and OMG!!! The best one I have ever had in my life. I’m not sure what they did differently but I watched the young lady who made it and it was amazing. To the lady with the long dark hair with a little blonde who had her hair in a pony, you deserve a raise!!! I have never had a drink taste so good“

“I always go-to this location and I always seems to get Amber she is the best with her customer service her quickness her smile greeting me and all the rest just great over all such a friendly lady thx again for your kindness much appreciated“

“😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍“

“It's good but the parking I not allowed for more than two hours, even for customers“

“great venue to see the Ti-Cats play.“

“I’m a regular customer at this Tim Hortons. All the employees work really hard, provide fast service, and communicate well. I’m giving 5 stars because of the great staff.

My only concern is product availability. I also noticed someone on Sunday, I believe his name was Arjan, who seemed to be responsible for the budget, although I’m not completely sure. Management should provide better support and resources so employees don’t have to struggle with product shortages. Overall, the staff are doing a great job.“

“Navneet provides excellent customer service at Tim Hortons. She is always very polite, friendly, and welcoming. She treats customers with respect and makes sure they have a great experience. I really appreciate her positive attitude and helpful nature. Great service, Navneet!“

“Best Timmies , so clean and staff are great“

“I just wanted to take a moment to show my appreciation to the amazing team at Starbucks in Mapleview Mall. I often place an online order for pickup under the name “RC” and usually grab breakfast and a chai latte.
Every time I come in, the team is so friendly and welcoming. What many people may not realize is that these hardworking employees are there as early as 5 a.m. preparing everything so customers like me can start their day right. That kind of dedication truly deserves recognition.
Thank you for your hard work, kindness, and the positive energy you bring every morning. It really makes a difference and does not go unnoticed!“

“Carol was extremely kind and patient while taking my order. It was nice when when she asked me to donate to Tim Hortons Camp as I forgot that it has started up again. I received the food within a timely manner and it was very delicious! Very grateful for this Tim Hortons location as its a great reward after grocery shopping. 🥳“

“I’ve been coming here for a long time . Staff is always great extremely friendly and hard working . Always quick and efficient. This is one of the only ones I go to now . Never a bad experience. All the staff on over nights are amazing“

“Love the staff!! They are so polite and helpful. My coffees are always amazing and after coming here for months they know my order remember my face and know my name!! Most amazing Tim’s I have ever gone to!! Donna is amazing! Keep up the great work. Your teams are amazing“

“The service is great and the people there are excellent at their jobs. The only complaint I have and it is not the fault of the location is that Tim Hortons made the doughnuts smaller to the point that they are too small and no longer worth the money.“

“Morning Coffee ☕️ & Dream Donut 🍩😋 No complaints.“
