They serve the best coffee drinks, the kind that instantly lifts your mood and pairs perfectly with anything on the menu. The staff are incredibly friendly and the place is super comfy, creating the perfect spot to relax, study, or catch up with friends.“

“Absolutely incredible! One of the best coffee! I can only compare this coffee to coffee in Italy and in Dubai (Arabic Emirates). And the sandwiches to die for, absolutely delicious 😋! And, this place does not take tips! Amazing!“

“This is a beautiful HIDDEN GEM located in North York and honestly a must try for somebody that’s looking for aesthetic vibes and a nice calm place to chill with a lot of food options and drinks. busy place with beautiful ambience🤭 Loved the food!! Everything was made fresh - employees serving were very sweet- very accommodating with my coffee order. 10/10 would recommend🫶🏼“

“This is a wonderful local coffee shop. They make delicious croissants and scones. I've brought them to some functions and everyone loves them! Support local business. Very friendly service.“

“Ins風小資咖啡廳，唔錯！“

“Even though I work in the Yorkdale mall, this Tim Hortons is my favourite out of all the locations I’ve been at. The environment is so friendly and very clean. There’s a lady that’s always super nice to me and she’s the highlight of my mom’s and I mornings. Super recommend this location and the staff to anybody!!!“

“Great place and staff at Barrie. Food excellent crown burger and grilled salmon with vegetables“

“We've been on a bit of a bingsu kick so finally tried The Cups. We ordered the large matcha bingsu which was around $20-25. Good size portion for two people to have, and it was mostly good. We really liked the almond chips and the mochi, and we felt that they didn't skimp on the matcha powder which is nice.

Where it missed the mark a bit for us is the green tea ice cream was actually freezer burnt and made it a bit difficult to eat. There was also a bit of clumping with the snow near the bottom.

This place seems to be really popular on weekends so it might be hard to get a seat.“

“Very good cafe bake shop I highly recommended“

“great ambiance and great food. just loved it.“

“Today Jan 3, 2025 was my first time here. Beautifully decorated, Clean, generous size delicious baked on the premises blueberry scones, good coffee, friendly helpful staff and owner. I spent a long time working on the crossword puzzle sipping my two cups of coffee. I wasn’t rushed. Felt very comfortable. I wish them well, and I shall return for sure.“

“Hands down the best espresso drinks in North York, happy to have found you. Excellent cappuccino, flat white, and matcha latte (haven’t tried the rest of the drinks yet). The egg sandwich and tiramisu were excellent too. A cozy spot to hang out or work a little. Highly recommend it 🙌🏼“

“food is fantastic, will definitely be back for more“

“I just had my first visit. The decor is fantastic. No cookie cutter decor, but original. Great service delicious coffee look forward to next time.“

“Excellent Tim Hortons location! The staff are always friendly and welcoming, especially the morning team, who are incredibly cooperative and provide great service. The coffee is consistently fresh and tastes the same every time, which I really appreciate. One of the best Tim Hortons locations I’ve visited, thanks to both the quality of the coffee and the wonderful people who work here. Highly recommended!“

“best coffee and sandwiches. Freshest donuts at the Wison Heights store.“

“Such a cool Korean dessert cafe! Tried Bingsu for the very first time here (got the Mango Bingsu). I didn't know quite what to expect, but I ended up loving it! The Yuzu Tea was nice too, just a tad bitter for my taste, but still enjoyable. Great atmosphere and I’ll definitely be back to try new things off the menu!“

“I am honestly so impressed by Navi! She is incredibly sharp and actually remembers my order every time I walk in. It makes the service feel so much more personal and efficient. She’s definitely the reason this is my favorite Tim Hortons to visit!“

“I love it here so much. I would go here everyday before school, and their iced coffees are perfect. Staff is so nice and very welcoming. The place also has such a comfy atmosphere where you can just chill in. As a graduate, I’ll definitely miss coming here everyday.“

“I will say if you’re looking for a late night spot to yap, enjoy sweets, and be served with a warm smile this is the spot for you. The lady at the store gave us the best recs on which Madeleine, pastries and drinks to get with such unmet enthusiasm. She even gave us water for our sweets without us asking. And the pastries and drink flavours are quite original, super innovative and not too sweet.“

“This was such a lovely atmosphere, as i walked in it was such a beautiful aesthetic with high ceilings and a floral aesthetic going on. It’s very spaced out, but I wouldn’t say there are alot of places to sit, and it’s hard to find a spot with an outlet, it’s more of a grab and go place or you can sit and chill with your friends. I got the iced mocha with almond milk and half sweetener it was pretty good mocha iced latte, it was a little bit more bitter than how I normally drink it, but it was drinkable ✨ they seem to have a lot more matcha options so this one is for matcha lovers“

“It is always a pleasure to visit the store. Amir, DM & the team is very efficient and full of energy. Amir is very polite and always gotta smile on his face.
Keep up the great job and the energy you guys bring. It's not just the coffee but you guys too, who pump up and make the day start with smile 😇“

“It’s a good place to have coffee, just the staff need to pay attention to the customers when they take orders“

“To start, the ladies at the front are so kind!

Yesterday was my first time coming here since moving to my working area, I got the mushroom grilled cheese which was yummy. I of course, HAD to go back for the salmon breakfast danish... wow, delightful! Their strawberry matcha is also refreshing and tasty.

I'd include photos but I ate it all too fast because it was so good!

I will have to go back for another salmon danish and try some pastries. 🫢“

“The cashier was incredibly friendly and helpful. She guided me through the menu, which was filled with delicious-looking options. I hadn’t seen this brand before, and it was quite different from what I’m used to. I enjoy the taste, and it was a new experience for me.“

“had a great experience with Tim Horton. They provided excellent service from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about helping me. I really appreciate their support and would highly recommend Tim Horton to anyone looking for outstanding service. Thank you!“

“Stopped by this Tim Hortons a few days ago and the service from Ann and the other workers was incredible. Ann was very friendly and had such a positive attitude which truly made my day. I ordered a protein latte which usually takes long at the other Tim Horton locations but here I got order quickly.“

“Really tender corned beef, on a fresh onion bun. Better then Katz's ever was.“

“I recently stopped by Anthony’s Cafe and had a great experience. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being over the top. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and came out quickly — you can tell they care about quality. It’s the kind of spot that feels easy to come back to, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down for a relaxed meal. Definitely a solid local gem.“

“I’ve been coming here regularly for a few months now and I can honestly say this place is way better than any major coffee franchise. Everything is baked fresh in-house, the donuts and muffins are bigger, and they actually use regular sprinkles on the Hawaiian donut instead of the little round ball sprinkles that are hard to eat. The staff are also really fast and friendly.“

“COPS on Dufferin in North York delivers where it counts: the donuts. They’re fresh, warm, and perfectly bite-sized — light, fluffy inside with just the right crisp on the outside. The rotating flavours are fun, and the classics are done really well.

That said, the location itself is surprisingly inconspicuous. From the outside, it’s not immediately clear that it’s a donut shop — the signage and overall aesthetic are so understated that it’s easy to miss or second-guess whether you’re in the right place. For a brand that’s fun and bold in product, the exterior presence feels oddly muted and a bit frustrating.“

“The bagels are the best!!!! With cream cheese or a breakfast sandwich you can't beat them!!! ;)“

“Lovely experience at Paris Baguette! It was my first time visiting the Sheppard Young location, and I had a great experience. I got the strawberry shortcake, with fresh strawberries and a chocolate piece on top. The service and staff are very friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable too. Fresh bakery items, cakes, and pastries. Will definitely be visiting back again soon!“

“I've been a regular here for the past 2 weeks. Iced americanos are always top tier here. The halloumi Mediterranean croissant is a divine light bite but if your feeling something more filling I've had the classic breakfast (added home fries). Service is speedy, outdoor seating in the warm weather is perfect. Consistently great experience at this branch.“

“I’ve been going to Tim Hortons for as long as I can remember, and it’s honestly one of those places that just feels familiar every time. It’s not just about grabbing a coffee—it’s part of my routine at this point.
Most mornings, it’s my quick stop to get a coffee and something small to eat, and it always hits the spot. There’s something really comforting about knowing exactly what you’re going to get, and it being consistent every time. Whether I’m in a rush or have a few minutes to sit, it just works.
The staff at the locations I visit are usually friendly and fast, which makes a big difference, especially during busy hours. Even when there’s a line, things move pretty quickly, and I appreciate that they keep things efficient without feeling rushed.
I also like the variety—they’ve added more options over time, so it’s not just coffee and donuts anymore. It makes it easy to switch things up depending on the day.
Overall, Tim Hortons is one of those places that’s just reliable and part of everyday life. It’s simple, convenient, and always there when you need a quick coffee or a familiar stop to start your day.“

“I stopped by during my Yorkdale shopping trip. The interior has a beautiful, futuristic, minimalist look with an eye-catching coffee bag stack. Since seating is limited to a few wall benches, it is ideal for a quick grab-and-go rather than a long chat. Drinks are made carefully, meaning the line moves slowly, so expect a wait when the mall is busy.The drinks were excellent. The signature Kyoto Latte was smooth with a gentle sweetness. The Matcha Latte had a rich, authentic flavor that blended perfectly with the milk. It was a lovely premium treat that enhanced my shopping day.“

“This Tim Hortons is my go-to place. The staff are always friendly, efficient, and make every visit a great experience.

I especially want to recognize Taran and Yancely. They both consistently greet customers with warm smiles and positive attitudes, creating such a welcoming atmosphere. Their teamwork is outstanding, and it's clear how much they care about both the customers and the store.

Honestly, it feels like these two manage the whole Tim Hortons! I can't help but wonder what Tim's would do without them. Their hard work, dedication, and great customer service never go unnoticed. Thank you both for making every visit enjoyable—keep up the amazing work!“

“Although music choice is annoying (demographic of clientele does not match), food is good and coffee is a good pour. Outdoor patio is nice to try and chill out at but, again, this music is more jittery than calming. If the idea is to keep people moving out of their seats then goal achieved.
Good overall place to grab lunch/brunch.“

“The Upper Avenue Road Tim Hortons is one of the most convenient, clean, and efficient Tim Hortons locations in Toronto. My son loves their pizza, and we often have early morning breakfast at this location. In the morning, side road parking is free, so there is no need to pay.“

“This was actually the cutest Starbucks in San Jose. It was super clean with a large seating area. Outside, there are many good trucks but they appeared closed in the mornings. Excellent coffee and service. They even had a drive through. Costa Rican Starbucks is waaaaay better than my Toronto neighbourd location.“

“Everything is great, the breakfast is tasty and not expensive.
But keep in mind that if you enter from Leslie Street, you will have to enter the paid parking lot, you can’t turn around without breaking rules, free parking 15 minutes, but you definitely won’t have enough time to make order. In general, my breakfast cost $14, and I paid $7.5 for parking for 20 minutes, it’s the most expensive parking in my life“

“Great experience this Saturday morning. Found it interesting that the gentleman cooking in the kitchen would come out and with a smile say fresh timbits or fresh donuts, nice touch, never seen it done before and it’s refreshing. Great job and hopefully the quality of service continues to improve at all restaurants!“

“Surprisingly delicious desserts. Tried the lava cake and matcha crepe. Will go back again for more“

“Really loved the experience at Tim Hortons! ☕ The coffee was great, the food was fresh and delicious, and the ambience was really nice and comfortable. The staff was friendly and welcoming too. Definitely a great place to chill, grab a coffee, and spend some time. Would happily visit again! ❤“

“Cafe Princess in North York is a hidden gem! We ordered the mango and strawberry Bingsu, both were absolutely perfect — fluffy, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The layout is really cool and welcoming, with a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay a while. They even have board games available if you want to hang out and play with friends, or you can just relax on the couches. Everything was clean, organized, and well put together. Highly recommend for dessert or a chill hangout spot!“

“My coworkers and I pop into Coffee Time every single day for lunch, and it's always a highlight! The service is consistently great, and the staff is incredibly friendly, making each visit a pleasure. They have a fantastic selection of baked goods, which is a huge plus. A special shout-out to Mickey, who is truly exceptional… they always go above and beyond for customers. Definitely recommend this spot!“
