50 Best Coffee Shops in Hamilton

“Clean space with speciality beans and good coffee that they know how to make properly! The only down side is that it was pretty slow to get my drink. Kind service that delivers to your table. There’s wifi and a few tables for staying, no patio. Will be back!“

“Phin coffee bar is one of a kind! The owners are very kind and helpful as you place your order. They have also wonderful selection of unique, freshly roasted beans, and have helped me to purchase just the right beans for my espresso at home. The shop has seating and is quiet enough to study, work or have a visit with a friend. I have thoroughly enjoyed every coffee I’ve had at Phin’s! They also have a great selection of treats. Highly recommended!“

“This place is a gem, and the food is always delicious! My favorite is the pulled beef sandwich, and I think they have the best hummus in Hamilton. Honestly, all the food I’ve tried here is delicious, including the coffee. The staff is very friendly, so I definitely recommend it.“

“Great selection of photography books. Kindest barista ❤️“

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

“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! ✨ 💎 ☕️“

“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.“

“Amazing service and drinks“

“Amazing Dog pawsitive atmosphere.
Thursday lunch hour ( all day breakfast ). Our 1st visit we are greated with a friendly reminder to have our Labrador ( Highway ) use the green outside so not to interrupt our dining experience. As our 1st time it was important to show proof of vacancies and neutered as the fur babies room freely ( no aggressive dogs or people )
The environment is open and toys water are available. The menu is top notch and well priced for the options . We had waffles and coffee. Our Dog had a small waffle and scrambled egg. The restaurant supports the Dog rescue and fostering also organized by the owners . A high level of respect and acceptance of for dog lovers and the Dogs .
The owner and us talked about training and fostering and furever homes . If you have a sweet tooth and a dog then this is a must visit . They also have High quality Dog treats available for sale .
Highway will want to come back for the waffles eggs and pack fun“

“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 🙂“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing“

“Great staff and breakfast“

“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“

“You have to try it out!!!“

“Love this location!! Staff are amazing!!!“

“Food was amazing, my mom and I travelled from out of town just to try here and we will be back again asap!

The food was so fresh and it was half hour before closing we had stopped in last minute and the staff was super kind and the environment was clean and cute! They were busy until the doors closed! See you again soon!“

“I have been going here for 3-4 years

“I went there and got 100 puffs which you are supposed to only order in advance but the guy working there was super nice and allowed us to order it if we waited for him to make it which wasn't a problem. We got 4 different flavours and they were all really good, especially the cookies and cream ones. Nice location as well“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best Timmies , so clean and staff are great“

“the employees are top notch 💜🤙🏽“

“As someone new to Hamilton, I was excited to discover that my neighbourhood is home to the very first Tim Hortons. There’s something special about its original location, and makes this area feel distinctly Canadian. It’s a unique piece of history (inside there’s a cool museum) that makes me feel happy to call Hamilton my new home 🇨🇦“

“This Starbucks location is in my opinion the very best Starbucks in Hamilton. It has a good vibe! The staff are so personable. My decafs are always made perfectly ? Thank you for bringing me joy!!“

“It was busy but I always enjoy chatting with the staff, it is a wonderful place to go

Parking: There is plenty of it at this location.

Kid-friendliness: No seating in here so no drama, I like that. My kid doesn't like going to the other one to many people hanging around the doors it frightens him.“

“I always visit this Tim Hortons because of one staff member. He’s a really great person who always tries to provide the best service as quickly as possible. He’s friendly, professional, and makes every visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend this location!“

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

“Good variety of coffee. Friendly service.“

“Staff here is always awesome .. fast and convenient . My order is always right . I can always depend on them to start my day off right �“

“friendly dayshift staff. Fast, efficient and friendly. the baker Denise always has a smile and is a joy to see in the mornings. Highly recommend this location“

“I'm gonna make this short and sweet. I am not a fan of Tim Hortons in the last decade. This was probably the fastest and most properly made breakfast sandwiches unflawed. The service was great and actually served with a smile. Not a huge rush but before 8 am. Thanks to the staff who made my morning. I felt this needed review as many Tim Hortons are awful. This one got it right and the staff was actually friendly. 5 stars.“

“I walked in late when they were closing the sandwich bar and the ladies graciously reopened it to make me a sandwich. They were polite and courteous and didn't mess up my order like the place a couple doors down.(timmies). Will be returning.“

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