28 Best Coffee Shops in St. Catharines

“Josh is the best, he served me and my friends for what was one of the funnest nights out I’ve experienced. 10/10 would come back“

“Stumbled across their cute little trailer @ Grape and Wine Festival Tried the Lemon Meringue cocktail its honestly the tastiest and most refreshing beverage I've ever had Will definitely be visting their downtown location“

“BEST COFFEE IN THE AREA.
We were here to visit family and were so happy to find this place serving authentic espresso style coffees. The barista is super nice, telling us about his family business and them roasting their own coffee beans and they have cool merch too!
If you are in Port Dalhousie, make sure to grab your coffee here“

“Mandy helped me a lot to navigate the gluten free options and was very knowledgeable about precautions they can take in the kitchen. She was so friendly and attentive. We were very pleased with our meal, especially the crepes! Thank you Mandy!“

“so fresh and tasty. can't wait to try more flavors.“

“Good food and very friendly staff“

“Great place with classic milkshakes you can’t beat!“

“Starbucks corporate, listen up. Closing all the stores around this location has overwhelmed this store. Limited to no parking, long line ups, 10 to 15 minutes to get my drink. It is bad for customers and unfair for the excellent crew at this location. The team and location are great, you should follow their lead: do better or this customer will go somewhere else.“

“This Starbucks is genuinely solid — better than most.
If there are any incentives or recognition programs, this location definitely deserves it.

As a regular client, I can say the positive energy here is real, and it genuinely adds to my busy day.
Keep that energy up — honestly, that’s what I’m paying for at this point.“

“Thank you for the little note!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜“

“So disappointing when they just toss it in a bag on a warm day like today! Usually don't go to this Timmies but it was close to work! probably won't go back“

“Coffee Timbits cookies soups“

“Always a great experience here. The team is super friendly and fast, even when it’s busy. The store is clean, the coffee is fresh, and the atmosphere makes it easy to relax. Definitely one of the best Tim Hortons locations I’ve been to.“

“Just great coffee and wonderful people. Been to the cafe in Grimsby several times and picked up a few bags that are just as delicious at home. Can't say enough good things about the College Street espresso blend and the Million Dollar Morning blend.Really looking forward to trying some of their more exotic beans.Please keep your high standards for roasting!“

“Clean and friendly barista“

“We ordered the Thanksgiving Family Meal and by far it was the most delicious Thanksgiving feast I’ve ever had. I’m typically not a turkey fan but this turkey was mouthwatering and had incredible flavour…don't even get me started on the stuffing?! Do yourself a favour and order from Valentinos, save yourself the headache and dirty dishes and impress your guests who will be talking about it months later. We’ll be ordering again because I haven’t stopped thinking about it.“

“Great visit to Starbucks at the Pen Center! The service was friendly and efficient, and the coffee was spot on — just the way I like it. The space was clean and comfortable, perfect for a quick break or catching up with a friend.

One small suggestion: if you’re staying in, consider asking for a ceramic mug or glass instead of disposable cups — Mother Earth will thank you! A simple way to make a great experience even better.“

“The more I go to this one I admit it is starting to grow on me - not the coziest atmosphere like some smaller stores but they do a good job of trying to making you feel comfortable. There were even Easter eggs hidden around on Easter morning - nice touch.

Parking: Lots of parking but to get in the store you have to walk through the drive through line-up and even though there is a marking on the pavement to leave space for pedestrians I still find myself battling vehicles to get across to the front entryway.“

“the staff are very friendly and polite very clean“

“Could not rate atmosphere as we have only had the drive thru experience.
Their drinks are perfectly on par with other Starbucks, and the staff are very good at following modifications consistently. Me and my girlfriend like to make changes to our beverages and this location has always followed our orders to a tee!“

“Everything is Fresh and so many types of Donuts to choose from !“

“big kudos to your staff for serving a gentleman who walked up to the window in the rain. Not everyone has a car. But they should be able to get a Tim's! ☕❤“

“I would like to mention how good this Tim Hortons is. The staff is always friendly and food is always good. I’ve never had an issue with wrong order. I would also like to make a shout out to Patty, if you go there you know her! She’s so kind and brings sunshine to your day! Thanks Patty for your cheery welcomes and well wishes for the day! You are appreciated! ☺️“

“Tim Hortons never disappoints! Whether I’m grabbing a quick coffee on the go or sitting down for a snack, the experience is always enjoyable. Their coffee is consistently fresh and flavorful, and the selection of donuts and Timbits is always a treat. I love their breakfast sandwiches—delicious, affordable, and served quickly. The staff are friendly and efficient, even during busy times, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. It's the perfect spot for a quick pick-me-up or catching up with friends. Tim Hortons truly delivers quality and consistency every time. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped at this location while visiting family in St. Catharines. I must say that being close friends with several franchise owners in Hamilton, and seeing the day in and out side of how stores run, as well as how customers and staff interact. I was extremely impressed with the service of this location considering that it was clearly their morning rush and they were getting slammed. Not once were any of the staff rude, or made me feel rushed, etc. They were all extremely professional and courteous, even asking if I needed anything else, while subtly trying to upsell the items of the month. I was especially impressed with the way the young lady that served me handled my order, and greeted me and every customer afterwards with a smile and upbeat positive attitude, very rarely do you see a student or young lady of that age that is clearly very respectful and professional, truly a credit to that stores owner and location. If I were corporate or up to me I would definitely reach out to this location and acknowledge this young lady’s positive representation of Tim Hortons and the quality and expectations the company expects from their employees, her name was Alyssa and as I have stated a credit to your company in all aspects. I will definitely be recommending this location to anyone I know passing through the area and this is all due to the exceptional service I received from this young lady. Great Job! Alyssa.

Keep up this work ethic and positive attitude and you’ll go extremely far in life young lady…“

“just brought my daughter to the Hudson store. Friendly staff, clean store. Owner/manager in front greeting customers, talking up app and the rewards program. will definitely be back when we shop at The Basket....“

“El café riquísimo El pan Hamburguesas con papas“

“I had a great experience at this Tim Hortons! The customer service really stood out — the woman at the cash counter was incredibly kind and cheerful. What impressed me the most was that she asked customers to double-check their orders before leaving the counter, making sure everything was correct. It shows she genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. It’s the little things like this that make a big difference. Keep up the great work!“
