“What an absolute GEM of a coffeeshop.
The exact kind of place that needs gatekeeping, but the people need to know. Immaculate vibes, prompt and friendly service, phenomenal selection of coffeeware and paraphernalia. Art, porcelain, food, drinks. All 11/10“

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

“First time having coffee here and this place totally exceeded my expectation. Those little sweets in the glass case are absolutely delicious. Not too sweet just perfect. Thank you very much for your great service and delicious food. It's amazing to see someone take pride in their product. I will be coming by this place whenever i'm in the area.“

“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！“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“A very nice coffee shop with specialty drinks, free wifi, and a minimalist aesthetic. It’s comfortable enough to lounge or even get some work done.
Their cold cream drop and yuzu tonic were pretty good! They also sell snacks/ sandwiches, coffee beans, and merchandise“

“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.“

“Helen is absolutely fantastic!
She provides great customer service, and she always brings a smile to my face.

A great spot for a quick coffee, meetings, or a snack.

Highly recommended if you are in the area.
Thank you Helen!“

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

“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!“

“Stars of the visit: Pistachio Matcha and Dubai Matcha!

For the matcha loving girlies like me this place is definitely worth the try! We also ordered a slice of the chocolate cake and it was so good too!!! My partner who ordered the iced coffee (can’t remember which one) said that his drink was good too!

Definitely going back to try more of their drinks and their food!“

“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.“

“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 😇“

“This office building is hiding such a high-quality coffee shop! It's right next to the subway exit, so you can get there without even stepping onto the street. The menu has a wide selection, and the food is all top-notch. The best part is, even the tables and chairs are quite high. I'm a little envious of the office workers who work here.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“The cafe latte was very smooth not bitter and I really enjoyed. Starbucks is low quality compared to your coffee beverages which I have had 3 times.

My husband loved the expresso ice cream and can't wait to have it again.“

“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!!! ;)“

“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.“

“We needed a birthday cake last minute, and we came to Paris Baguette for solution. We ordered a mini strawberry soft cream cake. The cake was fluffy, soft, and most of all, not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed the cake including the birthday boy!“

“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.“

“Love this place . It’s a hidden gem . The steak sandwiches are unbelievable leave alone the house made Dandelion root ice tea . The sandwiches by Daniel et Daniel are so good especially the chicken club and grilled cheese for kids .
Such a great atmosphere and the staff are such a great team ! You do have to wait in line sometimes but it’s worth the beautiful treats and you get to love the beautiful botanical gardens too !
Also check out their date square with orange zest !“

“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'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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Great place to chill with friends, couches are very comfy but can get taken up fast during peak hours. I really like their dessert options, their drinks are good but a little pricey. I particularly go for their waffle options topped with ice cream when I go. The place is cutely decorated and it’s on the top floor of the building so has an overlooking view of outside which is nice when hanging out and relaxing.“

“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!“
