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“

“Just got done another amazing visit to pur and simple. As always the food was amazing especially the chicago benedict but of course the pancakes/waffles were perfectly sweet as well. Mandy our waitress was amazing for the 2nd time we have had her. Very helpful with her knowledge of the menu and items at hand, answering any questions we had. Overall it always comes through as one of the best places to grab breakfast and would totally recommend trying out. Thanks again Mandy!!“

“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“

“Nice change to a desert menu. The puffs were served hot and delicious. The interior decor presented a clean fresh look. We will be back to try other flavours.“

“Although a simple coffee here is a bit more expensive than other indie cafe's, it is really, really good and worth the extra cost. You can find nearby parking about two blocks away on nearby side streets , at least on a weekday, and you may be able to find a nice outdoor table if you come when it's not a busy time of the week with tourists. They also have good wifi.“

“Good food and very friendly staff“

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

“Clean and friendly barista“

“If you want authentic Italian everything,(food) this is the place to go. It was my first time visiting and I was not disappointed. Valentino's sells various home made
Sauces, and meals made fresh, or you can get from their frozen section. Delicious“

“Great crew make it a comfortable place to get some work done.“

“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“

“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.“

“This Tim Hortons on Martindale Road has become my regular spot lately. The drive-thru is usually pretty quick, even when it's busy, and the staff are genuinely friendly and on the ball. They get your order right without you having to repeat it twice.“

“I have to share. I frequently visit this store. Consistently witnessing the staff and customer interactions. Today was just another excellent job. This time Kaden was extremely patient, calm and professional assisting an elderly lady clearly well into her 80s. He was not at all dismissive or rude, even though the line was building behind me the Lady was well aware that she was taking a little longer than anticipated. He helped her select her item he made suggestions and he even offered to warm up her tart so that it could be softer for her to eat because all she kept wanting was something soft because she could not eat anything hard he even warned her repeatedly that her cup of coffee would be hot so he carefully secured it with a sleeve, she was so apologetic, but she was happy and taken care of. it is not very often we witness younger staff members and establishments being so patient and understanding of the elderly. It was very warm to my heart to witness. I sent the entire team at this particular branch because they’re always consistent.“

“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!“

“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!“

“This is Timmies. It's decent food for what you pay...it's not a fancy bakery or fine dining.
This particular location on Lake at the QEW beside the gas station in St Kits has NEVER failed at the PLEASANT DEMEANOR every single time we go through the drive through. We were there around 9:20am, Feb 26....date and time so the owners know who works those windows! If ALL Timmies took thier cue from this lady, there would NEVER be a complaint about thier service!“

“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! ☕❤“

“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.“

“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 employees here work hard to provide quality service in a timely manner. I'm often greeted with enthusiasm and kindness. I have coffee at home - most of us do - but the service and atmosphere at this location make it an essential stop in my morning walks.

Tim Hortons food isn't what I consider good quality, but these guys make a concerted effort to deliver a nice meal nonetheless.“

“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....“

“The baristas are skilled, friendly and accommodating, they got a new coffee machine that's improved the overall taste significantly.

The conversation is pleasant and the vibes are good - even when there's a larger event going on. It's a convenient coffee stop I can recommend wholeheartedly.“

“I was disappointed at this location that every table was 100% full and most tables of four had one person sitting at it doing computer work and no food or coffee anywhere to be seen on the table near them it is possible they drank it and threw it away but it's disappointing that management would not ask people to sit together or share a table or mention something about taking up four seats for one person“

“Fast sevice nice people“

“El café riquísimo El pan Hamburguesas con papas“

“I'm a regular customer at this location, and the night shift team always provides outstanding service. Nav, Simer and Isha are especially friendly, professional, and welcoming every time I visit. They make sure my order is accurate, serve fresh coffee, and always greet customers with a positive attitude, even during busy late“
