A gem of Newmarket. Occasional Peter MacKinnon sightings are a bonus.

Nice atmosphere, but only a certain number of tables allow for laptops.

Croissant pastry was average, nothing exceptional about it. Drip coffee was average, should be served a bit hotter. My cup was lukewarm.

The artisanal goods that were being sold were a bit of a mishmash of items, and it felt like I was at a garage sale. There should be a more curated shopping experience.

Metropolis is the best place around. Staff are very pleasant every time we are there. Which is a lot!! Cappuccinos are delicious. Best coffee! Best oat milk! We haven’t found anywhere else yet that compares to it. It’s a bustling sanctuary. So grateful for a place like this in Newmarket.

Very simple: Warm and friendly atmosphere, and the smoothest, most enjoyable cappuccino I've had in a very, very, long time

Loved this basement cafe!!! Unassuming from the front but down the steps to a great coffee bar. Great latte and bagel was authentic Montreal. Can't wait to try it again.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this café since they opened their doors about five years ago. While the service was never outstanding, I kept coming back because I enjoyed the ambiance. However, after my experience today, I won’t be returning to The Cabin Café anymore. Here’s what happened: I ordered a bagel with salmon, which was listed on the menu for $10.95. When I went to pay, they tried to charge me $14.95, claiming the menu price was incorrect. This wasn’t just a single menu mistake—all their menus listed the price as $10.95. When I pointed out how misleading and unprofessional this was, especially since the difference was almost 40%, they refused to honour the menu price. Instead, they told me I’d have to pay $14.95 if I wanted the bagel. This is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of care for their customers.

On top of that, I purchased a scone and asked if it could be warmed up. They flat-out refused, saying they didn’t have an oven for warming products. Considering they share the same space as the downstairs cafe, they clearly could have warmed it - as they do with all sandwiches, if they cared about customer satisfaction—especially after the bagel incident. The scone itself was mediocre at best—cold and dry.

Overall, the service was terrible, and the staff seemed completely uninterested in providing a positive experience. I would not recommend this cafe to anyone

The atmosphere was good. The staff was nice. But they need to make some changes to their menu and upgrade it.

Cozy place to chill out

I dropped in on Saturday morning and decided to have a cup of coffee while I was waiting for a shop down the street to open.

Terrific ambiance and vibe in your place.

I didn’t enjoy the regular coffee. It’s my own fault. I should’ve said something.

Thank you very much for your offer for a complimentary coffee. I will come back and I will enjoy your offer of a replacement coffee.

As I said, it was my own fault for not speaking up at the time.

I love everything about this cafe specially the interior design and artworks of the GOAT Peter Mckinnon. Great coffee, delicious snacks and pastries with lots of space to study, work or hangout with friends.

Not a very accommodating cafe. Staff and manager act as if you are trying to rob the place if you want to bring ur tiny dog in for a minute JUST TO ORDER A COFFEE not to dine in. not friendly at all especially the manager. Asked me to tie my dog outside in the sun with no water. And they absolutely did not offer me any water. Staff is very rude and ignorant. I ordered my coffee and was waiting outside for 10 minutes before I went inside and asked them where my coffee is and they acted like I never ordered. The manager here is RUDE and strangely entitled.
