“We went to Symposium for our anniversary and what an amazing night! Our server Jaime was beyond amazing. Extremely welcoming and fantastic customer service. I recently came home from a trip in Bermuda and asked the bartender to make me a 'Bermudian Rum Swizzle' and Sawan did not disappoint! He nailed it right on the pin! The food was delicious and compliments to the chef! We also indulged in their tiramisu cake as our dessert and my goodness, the flavor! So fresh! All in all, an extremely wonderful night thanks to Jaime and Sawan!“

“love the coffee, love the lattes love their seasonal menus, great service. only downsides are the limited seating i think they have like 25-30 seats or 10~ tables available(dont quote me on this). plus the limited parking available unless youre not fat n lazy like me, then the parking is pretty fine.“

Her genuine warmth and eagerness to connect with everyone who walks in is truly heartwarming. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, she treats you like an old friend, eager to learn about your interests and experiences. Michelle makes everyone feel included, a great addition to the Village community!“

“As a lover of coffee & the coffee culture, I have to say that Jacked Up Coffee delivers. The vibe is great, energy of the barista(s) is contagious. Definitely a place that makes you feel like home….plus kick butt coffee☕️“

“In July 2022, I had the pleasure of attending 8-Bit Beans for my grandson's birthday celebration (at the Whitby location). He chose the venue, and it was such a great choice. I even played some retro arcade games, even though I usually consider myself "too old" for that stuff. The overall vibe is why I played the games. I felt like a kid again for just a little while. Tasty (but simple) adult and kid friendly food that was served in a timely manner, and with a smile. The staff were polite and friendly, and the service was top notch. I look forward to returning in the future.“

“Lots of delicious food for a great price!“

“Absolutely amazing food and experience. I will travel to this place from anywhere.“

“First time here and we cannot recommend this place enough. staff? warm and friendly. atmosphere? calm and inviting. food? to quote my 10 year old: "it tastes like happiness" we had the seafood boil with the sea salt signature sauce, lobster, crab, shrimp, mussels, corn, potatoes, and we added noodles and crawfish. I think my kid thanked me seven times during this meal for bringing her here. we will 100% be back.“

“Never disappointed, no matter what drink I try here I am thoroughly satisfied. The white chocolate matcha is a favorite of my daughters and the white chocolate iced coffee and the Spanish latte are favorites of mine. The cookies and pastries are very good as well, if you can get your hands on them, they never last long!“

“Great little place, I’ve been coming for a long time and the coffee, food and ambiance are terrific.

The couple who own it are so friendly.

Truly a gem in a part of town inhabited by big chains like Starbucks or Tim’s.

Their breakfast sandwiches are great, as are the donuts and date squares.

Great patio seating area for the summer with a nice view.“

“Love everything about coffee cultures. Such a nice atmosphere. In this day and age with so much chaos in the world, its such a nice relaxing get away. I go with my daughter. We get to relax, connect and enjoy wonderful beverage and food!! 🙂“

“I ordered a medium charcuterie tray as a gift for a family member who lives in the GTA. I am far away, so Sarah agreed to deliver for me for a very reasonable fee.My family sent a photo as soon as it arrived. They were thrilled. The tray was beautiful and fresh. Sarah certainly has an artistic eye for making her trays very stylish. And her customer service is excellent. It was very nice to email back and forth with her about my order.I would recommend Snacks by Sarah! I will definitely be ordering again in the future!“

“A nice casual restaurant to lounge or work in. Lost count of how many times I’ve ordered from Panera bread. They have lots of bread, sandwich, and coffee options.
I enjoyed a half sandwich of their toasted Italiano and a bowl of French onion soup. The soup is one of my personal favourites! The ingredients and bread are very fresh. Their food is prepared quickly.“

“At the Toronto Zoo::;

The Food was the best I've ever had at that very spot. The burger🍔 was ★GREAT★!!! The poutine was ★GREAT★ too!
The Burger🍔 was super filling for Me, My Missus ate the poutine n' was full uP with Me only eating a few bits. I also got the onion rings because I didn't think the Burger🍔 was going to be So Filling! We left with more than ½ of the box of onion rings n' a last few sips of a drink We shared.
There's LOTS of options to drink at this spot. Beer, wine, coolers n' a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks for kids n' those who don't drink.
Well I've said enough but I don't know about the prices because I was sitting n' eating with Our 6 ½ month old Daughter n' My Missus Loves to use the card💳 because of all the optimum points📈 We get every time it's used.
But it seemed fair priced for being at a zoo.
After all the walking it's the Perfect spot, there's a hut 🛖 like structure but without walls of course n' a spot right around the corner with loads of picnic🧺 tables to eat at, all covered by tree's🌳🌲 so it's all shaded.
Get the kids out of the heat well they eat. The Rhinos 🦏 🦏 are right there to look at well eating.
Plus there's 🚻,🚮 n'♻️ there.
I hope this helps with someone's visit to the Toronto Zoo when they're hot n' hungry with kids or without.“

“I’ve been visiting this Tim Hortons for several decades, and it has become much more than just a place to grab a coffee. It serves patients, families, visitors, volunteers, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals throughout the day. Opening as early as 5:00 a.m. and staying open until 11:00 p.m., it provides a valuable service to everyone who comes through the hospital.

One thing I especially appreciate is having a familiar place where patients and families can take a short break during what is often a stressful or emotional time. Sometimes a simple cup of coffee, a warm smile, or a kind conversation can mean more than we realize.

My only suggestion would be to continue emphasizing kindness and empathy in every customer interaction. This is not a typical Tim Hortons. Many customers may be dealing with illness, waiting for loved ones, or working long and demanding shifts. A little extra patience and compassion can truly brighten someone’s day.

Overall, I have had many positive experiences here over the years, and I appreciate having this Tim Hortons as part of the Centenary Hospital community. Keep up the great work!

Update: Thank you for your kind response from the owner. I truly appreciate you taking the time to acknowledge my review. This location plays an important role for patients, families, visitors, and hospital staff, and I wish the entire team continued success.“
