17 Best Coffee Shops near Mount Albert

“I love this cafe! The treats are always incredible (my favourites are the raspberry squares, salted caramel choc chip square, and anything with a shortbread base). The staff are all so friendly and helpful - it's a wonderful place to meet friends, bring your family, or just do takeout. The lunch options (paninis, wraps, salads or soups) are delicious and change daily and seasonally. As a bonus there are frozen dinner options for you to take home and they also do catering! Can't recommend the Lighthouse Cafe enough!“

UPDATE - Just went again, and had another great time! Cassandra was great, and the food was just as delicious as last time!!

We’ll keep coming back!“

“I drive an extra 15 minutes just to come to this Tim Hortons because the coffee here is consistently better than any other location—hands down! The quality, consistency, and care truly make it worth the detour. Huge shoutout to Vasanth, Priya, Prasank, Melissa, and Raj—your service is top-tier every time. You guys are the heart of this place! You’re always so friendly, and my dog absolutely loves the treats you give at the drive-thru window. It’s that kind of thoughtful touch that makes all the difference. Best Tim Hortons around. Five stars!“

“Thank you for your kindness in helping the local community. we appreciate your support.“

“Yummy tarts at a fair price point! Cheese is light and fragrant - not too filling, not too sweet, and perfect for tea time. Fun innovative flavours (got the Dubai Chocolate, Strawberry Mochi, Crème Brûlée, Original, Tiramisu and Chestnut). Wish I lived closer but will revisit when I’m in Newmarket next!“

“I saw a white employee young man was respectful and polite I seen some reviews here about poor hygiene why don’t you use a glass cover for the donuts and don’t give people rotten lettuce treat people with dignity these liberals gave you a chance make difference this ain’t back home either we live by a standard in this country 🇨🇦“

“This tim Hortons is amazing the staff thare are super nice when surving me I got the bagel and it was perfectly toasted and yummy with the butter added to it and the green tea was warm and tasty as well as the owners are super kind towards teenagers“

“Godwin is an absolute gem. Very fast and quick but extremely respectful. 11/10 service for sure. Most places rush and make me drop my change as they toss my drink in the window he patiently waited to hand me my straw as I rushed to take it from him, he said something telling me it’s ok no rush but was still only at the window for 25 seconds around 4pm, he was so respectful and very well mannered.“

“Shoutout to Hannah!!

She was incredibly professional and kind during a hectic Friday morning. Somehow, my coffee order got mixed up and was replaced with a chai latte. I didn’t notice until I had already driven all the way back to work. Frustrated, I turned around and headed back to get the correct drink.

As soon as I arrived, Hannah greeted me with a warm smile and immediately apologized for the mix-up. She quickly remade my drink and even offered me a free cake pop as a kind gesture.

This is exactly how customer service should be; empathetic, efficient, and thoughtful. Mistakes happen, but Hannah turned a frustrating situation into a genuinely pleasant experience. I’m very impressed and grateful!“

“So excited to have these options!!! I want to thank Rebecca and Dee at County Style for always greeting with a smile and making me feel so welcome. And Rebecca... you are amazing! You make my day every day when I come in on my way home and you have a delicious pot of dark roast coffee ready for my hubby and I. Hope you guys a good day and we will see you later!!“

“Wonderful experience because of Anita!! I came to this Starbucks earlier today because my drink was made with the wrong type of milk and I’m lactose intolerant. I admit when I came in I was very short with the supervisor but she was so lovely the entire time and as incredibly patient with me. She greeted me with a smile and even though I could tell she was stressed out since she was busy, she was attentive and kind the entire time. I’ll definitely be back here because of this experience!!“

“I visited Tim Hortons while I was in the hospital and the service was amazing, staff was very kind easy to talk to and fast at taking and putting out orders that kept the line moving which made for a lesser wait time also noticed how clean and organized it was as it should be for being in a hospital.
GREAT service!“

“Like the Flat White coffee ☕ but the food not so much. Although a cheese Danish and lemon loaf are passable.
Atmosphere: you are surrounded by people working on laptops who never seem to leave and take up all the tables and chairs 😬“
