50 Best Coffee Shops near St. Jacobs

“Biked to St Jacob’s and found this small coffee shop and ice cream place. Had a cappuccino and a slice of the lemon cake, both delicious. The young woman serving was excellent, very friendly and helpful, checked which milk for the cappuccino and gave me a China cup when I told her that I’d stay in. There was a water station too where I could refill my water bottle. I will be back to try some of the breakfast sandwiches .“

“Anik was our waiter and he was excellent, fast service and very helpful in managing my gluten intolerance.

Dietary restrictions: Had great gluten free options. Much of their menu is marked as gluten friends but were even able to substitute for their non gluten free dishes upon request.“

“Ahmed served my husband and I and he is absolutely amazing. His smile brightened our morning and he made us delicious coffees (hot and iced). To top it off, we got 50 puffs and we couldn’t decide what we liked better. The food or his positive attitude! Definitely go to this Mr. Puffs and be served by Ahmed!! :)“

“had a nice sandwich for lunch, too full for dessert.next time maybe dessert first! the patio was a great place to sit outside.“

“First visit to Baden Coffee Company, the coffee was excellent as were our scones and an extremely large delicious cookie. Would recommend this little place to anyone who like us driving on a day tripper. The Koi pond was a nice attraction. Would stop there again.“

“I have been loyal to this coffee shop for over a year coming here almost everyday. The drinks here are phenomenal. As well, the staff here is the reason I come everyday. It is more expensive then most coffee shops but it’s the staff working here that will keep you coming back. I highly highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“I have visited Queen of Hearts a handful of times and every experience is different… however the quality of the food and the very friendly service is always the same. We love it there and take friends and family visiting from out of town as a treat. The team really put their heart and soul into everything from the service, to the tea and the food itself. Highly recommended!!“

“It was my first time visiting this vegan heaven today a d I highly recommend it ?
I had a warm comfort food combo, because I got frozen last night.. a gluten free 7 grain daiya grilled cheese and spiced green lentil soup have hit the spot.
For desert I had a vegan Nanaimo bar and an oat milk hot chocolate with coconut whipped cream on top to go.
Stuff is pleasant and efficient and place is clean and welcoming.
Only thing I did not like was that they have a regular cheese.. I hope that they don't start adding more non vegan items like most "vegan" restaurants in the future.
OMG, I just tried their Nanaimo bar is out of this world.. I have never had a better one ever!
It melts in your mouth, it's so positively creamy and delicious.. you have to try it asap ?“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! The staff here always go above and beyond, making you feel right at home every time you walk in. It’s rare to find such genuine, friendly service these days. And the coffee? It’s fantastic, my go-to is the oat milk mocha.“

“This is a such a cute place with lots of room. the coffee is very good, my favorite is a cafe misto with cinnamon steamed in the milk. I enjoy collaborating with Eco Cafe for fun events. great place, don't miss it!“

“This place is fantastic! Lots of selection, great prices, delicious treats, and an owner that is incredibly thoughtful and kind. We’ve just started coming to this store and my only disappointment is that I didn’t start going earlier. If you’re looking for something…more…try coming here. It’s conveniently location being close to St Jacobs market and Conestoga Mall“

“Wonderful food, fantastic interior, and great location--on Northfield, between Bridge and University. Also a community-minded business. A must-visit establishment. Dog-friendly for well-behaved dogs on leashes. (I'm not a dog person, and I didn't feel nervous for a second.)“

“Rose Cafe in Town it is rare to find such a beautiful place, relaxing and tasty food. My husband and I go there for a date as it is not only food but the vibe is needed after a busy and hectic day. Yes the items might be more expensive than other places, However we should remember that we are paying for something unique, the place, the food. Highly recommended for relaxing and good food . Respectfully.“

“This is a wonderful cozy cafe. Great place to take your laptop or just go and pick a book while having coffee.

There’s a bunch of books and you can even donate yours if you’re done reading. Lovely hosts. Amazing ambience.

Sometimes it’s crowded so if you’re going with a group you might have to wait a bit.“

“Have been a long time fan, from the delicious drinks and treats to the adorable decor and merchandise. Today was my first time back post Covid. Staff was friendly and cheerful but the wait time was actually really bad. Had I known it would take 25 minutes to receive one bubble tea, I would have gotten my drink before my lunch. Unfortunately couples coming in after me were receiving their drinks before I did. Love the new straws and can overlook that they do break easily, because they’re much better than paper!“

“I have an extra large latte in a large cup every day at Balzacs in the Tannery Building. The baristas are top notch and the space is beautiful. Thanks for bringing fabulous coffee to Kitchener!“

“We visited from ottawa. It was packed always a good sign! The staff were busy but very friendly as well the customers were all lovely making space to get around.

The food was delicious and fresh. Our group had vegan BLT and burrito; and non vegan omlet and "the Doug" sandwich.
Thanks for a lovely breakfast. Love the bright cozy eclectic interior. See you next visit.“

“I recently visited Gold Roast Coffee Supply to have my La Pavoni antique espresso machine serviced. My father had tried several other shops with no success, but Gold Roast happily took the machine and had it fixed within a week. Mike even took the time to show me how to properly use the machine. I had an absolutely amazing experience and couldn’t recommend these guys enough for all your coffee service needs. Five stars isn’t enough!“

“Not only are the food and beverages incredible, but the staff and the owner are so kind and always bring a smile to my face. One of my favourite places to study and eat :)“

“Amazing Coffee Cart Experience at Our Wedding This Past Weekend!“

“I was trying to find an online survey but couldn’t find it. I came here to get my drink because I work in the same plaza. The person that served me her name is Berry. Made the drink super nicely it seemed to have been done from the heart I think she deserves a promotion. If you are the manager reading this please let her know that she’s doing a great job. Thank you Berry!“

“Best selection of local craft beer and cider around.“

“The Bingsu , this is place is so cosy and has a diversity of great desserts and drinks.One of my favourite icecream with strawberries cheesecake and was pretty delicious! Yummy ! Will definetely go again to try other desserts flavours. It is a bit pricey , but it tastes good !“

“Great staff and location! Plenty of options for a vegetarian/vegan looking for something on the run or for a place to sit and enjoy coffee. Always a pleasant experience at this particlar location

Vegetarian options: Plenty of plant milks, oat, soy and almond.

Parking: Massive plaza with great parking“

“Always get amazing service when I visit the girls at our local Starbucks. This visit was a cold treat for my ex/son's dad. It was very much appreciated on a hot day! Thanks again, ladies! I'll be back for my regular black tea and lemonade soon ?“

“Service is great nd everything but jheeezz why is the music so friggin loud it’s not a casino like I don’t understand why cafes have to blast the music?? It’s supposed to be a lowkey quiet place that ppl go to.. maybe turning the music will help“

“Made a mistake and gave you a 2 star rating on Uber eats. I tried to change my rating but unfortunately Uber won't let me. Originally thought there was a mix up with an item I ordered but I realize that I'm the one that made the mistake. Everything in my order was made perfectly and I just wanted to let you know.Thank you“

“Thank you to the incredibly generous Randy and Lisa of Koffee Korner Kitchener for their donation to Sunnyside Senior Public School’s “give back to the community” initiative. Your kindness and willingness to help our students be contributing members of this community are immensely appreciated. Support this local business, as they support us.“

“I didn't go for a long time. All the time this bakery's taste is awesome!!! The price is getting high now so this point was sad. But, this happened everywhere now. So, I can't complain about it...

We get Long Johns and Apples Fritter. It was so fresh and tasty. But, for me Long Johns was too sweet. I couldn't finish for one.“

“The workers were very nice and answered our questions about the Crocs keychains they have right now. Food took a little longer than usual but was worth the wait, food was fresh and tasted good.

Parking: Parking is in the Walmart parking lot, McDonald’s is inside the Walmart.

Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and there are plenty of seats, as well as high chairs available.“

“The staff are very friendly! Always quick to greet me and are always the most accommodating. They all work so hard and it's so nice seeing familiar faces when I go in!

Wheelchair accessibility: Tables can be moved around making it a nicer spot for a meeting. Whole establishment is the same floor level, lower counters.“

“I usually don't leave a review but this place is wholesome. I was having a rough day. I was tired and exhausted because of my work. Both two guys (Forgot their name) were very friendly and cheerful. They kept me engaged while I was there. I ordered strawberry creme frap venti and the guy working at the bar made my drink perfectly and even decorated the frap which eventually lifted my mood. Service was better than the original Starbucks. I have to visit this location often to meet those two guys. Keep up the good work guys.“

“Friendly. Very polite. Efficient.“

“Ordered a pumpkin Frappuccino and they made up the total wrong drink, I have tried to call them and nothing from them the line is constantly busy shows that this location needs to be properly trained for customer service and learn to read the orders the right way.“

“The best rental place in Waterloo. Reasonable price, ensuite bathroom, laundry room in each Apt and best management ever I have seen.“

“Best quiche in town. No regret that I ever came and visit one of the finest bakery in Waterloo, ON.“

“Generous with the free samples-- they bring the tray around way more than any other location. There are lots of tables and two chair areas for intimate conversations. The large middle table has a capacity for eight and has power outlets. Internet speed is on the low side, 9 Mbps. The large space echos and there is music playing, so it's not great for a zoom call, but the constant indistinct chatter and cafe sounds are great to help focused work.

This Starbucks is in the group that charges lower prices in the region.

There are two free J1772 car chargers, if you know where to look, in the office park next door (600 Weber St N).

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible washroom. Large spaces between tables.“

“I'm shocked to see all the negative reviews of this Tim's. I've only started going in the last 4 months or so, but every time I've been through here (always the drive thru) I've had incredibly fast service. Even when I order food, it's ready so fast that I don't even have time to put my credit card away. I've been very impressed with the employees' speed and efficiency here! And they've never gotten my order wrong either.“

“This is my favorite Starbucks to go to; the ladies I always speak to at the window are so lovely and kind and friendly. It makes me feel special as a customer, and not like I’m just a number. I’ve also never had problems with my order here which is nice. If you’re gonna hit a KW area Starbucks, this is the one to go to!“

“I was in st marys for the past 5 days
I was having a really rough go and 3 different servers paid for my coffees...and endless ice waters....thank u from the the bottom of my heart ...Merry Christmas
And hopefully your bosses give you all the bonus you deserve!!“

“I am extremely impressed with this Starbucks. Cleanest Starbucks restroom I've ever experienced and such professional support from the store manager, Lea, when I left an item on site – smart, efficient, helpful service that is rare at chains. Bravo, Fergus Starbucks!“

“This starbucks is inside the metro but trust me the barista CASSIDY was amazing and made my drink so perfect the way i wanted, if you ever experience other Starbucks are out of stock the stuff you looking for, definitely try this one you will never regret, plus Cassidy will make your drink so perfect.“

“Limited but delicious variety of pastries.

We tried several croissants. The collection included almond caramel, butter garlic, and tirramisu.

Ovetall, they tasted fresh and very good. The creamy ones were tasteful, and the butter tasted real. they were balanced, not too sweat and at all did not tastr artificial.

We haven't tried the regular croissants, which would serve as a reference.

Finally, they pack the items in a nice box, which can be good as a casual gift.“

“The food and drinks here are excellent. The service is okay but I find that it can be inconsistent. Sometimes, it takes 10 minutes for food but my drink was made quicker. One time I ordered a cold pastry and it took about 10 minutes to get to me, while the employees were standing around and talking amongst themselves. Overall, I enjoy coming to this Starbucks.“

“I don’t know if it’s just this location but the tea tastes so watered down. It tasted like a teabag was soaked in water instead of milk. I also ordered a cheese tart which was warmed up but still served half-cold. The bathrooms had no paper towel. Wouldn’t come back here. Go to nowtea if you can.

EDIT: I want to edit this review because I had chosen “fresh milk” which the employee let me know is not the regular milk and is more watery. She remade my drink with the normal milk and gave me another tart heated all the way through. Everything was great the second time. I’m really surprised they saw my review while I was in there Haha, most places are not usually so attentive. The workers name who helped me started with a J (Im not sure how to spell it) and I really appreciate her help. Bottom line: If anything ever is not right, just let them know and I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to remedy it for you. Thank you for the great service (:“

“Great drinks and specially if you're lactose intolerant so many choices to pick from - friendly staff. Clean location and bathrooms for customers - ask for the code if you are buying“

“A GREAT FAMILY PLACE RIGHT INSIDE THE YMCA ON COURTLAND AVE“

“The manager Kim and her staff are all wonderful! Thank you for all you do! Worth the drive to this small town Tim's for excellent customer service. Staff actually say "you're welcome" instead of "no problem" ;)“
