“Hands down my fav spot in the GTHA.
Delicious coffee inspired drinks that will change your perception of quality drinks. It's so good that I delayed leaving this review for 2 years. I've tried everything they have to get offer and it all is amazing. They have a drink on their menu that will blow your mind. You just got to be patient and appreciate the love and discipline they pour into their craft.“

“As a former barista and bulk coffee distributor the most impressive aspect of this fine establishment were the varieties of whole bean available from roasters around the globe. In addition, the beans in their espresso machine are changed on a semi-weekly basis. Each visit you may be treated to a completely different origin or roaster.

The cafe has a small selection of pastries to compliment their beverage offerings. Prepared off site but baked in house allows for fresh and delicious taste experience. I had a ham and cheese croissant with everything bagel seasoning and it was flaky and yummy.

I will return to try the rest of their pastries as well as the treat of being surprised with a bean from a roaster from some part of the world I might have never visited.

There is street parking, accepted card payment, curated selection of whole beans for purchase, cute stickers, and friendly service.

The bar staff knows what they are doing, I trust their skill and knowledge. It would be easy to fall into a rabbit hole of coffee conversation with the staff.“

“Atmosphere, service, food and coffee!“

“Another cute cafe! There is a bit of seating, although maybe a little cramped.
Nice options for treats to choose from, but I think my highlight was the service provided by the barista! I ordered a hot matcha latte and I saw her take her time in whisking the matcha while crafting the drink. It tasted wonderful and had no clumps at all.“

“Great selection of photography books. Kindest barista ❤️“

“This is a coffee shop in the lobby of an activities building, which I did not realize before coming. There was plenty of seating available, but it not being a dedicated coffee shop meant it didn’t quite have the “cozy” ambiance one typically looks for. It’s nice to have here for parents or individuals coming for one of the various activities that are hosted here.

The service was great, very friendly and quick, and the americano I got was pretty good.“

“The best place for breakfast in Ontario bar none. Service is a treat“

“Smalls is my favourite place to grab a coffee, latte or a London Fog!!! I love grabbing a drink there and walking down James Street to do some shopping! The baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable!!! They know their coffee!!! Mmm 😋 10 out of 10 hidden gem! ✨ 💎 ☕️“

“Lovely spot. Great atmosphere, lovely coffee & tea, & incredibly diverse & well-made pastries. Big shoutout to Juan & Candice for taking such good care of my friend and I, despite having to deal with a brunch rush. They also have some lovely hip-hop records in the playlist here; I heard Slum Village when I walked in, and Common when I walked out. Definitely gonna be a regular here.

I can't remember the exact names, but I can absolutely recommend the goat cheese & caramelized onion (?) pastry (best dish on the menu in my opinion), the raspberry danish, and the chocolate & vanilla custard chocolatine.“

“This location has a nicely decorated fenced patio and every single time we’ve gone for the patio it’s not open. Continuously throughout the summer it’s never open. Always one excuse after another. A waste of time for us and a waste of a nice space for Ancaster.“

“Great place to meet up with friends! Always the best service!“

“Great little place, and so cute that the doggies can come and socialize too!

The front of the restaurant is full of tables and couches in a dog-friendly area. All food and prep areas are in a separate section where animals are not allowed.

Very clean and the food is excellent! They make a great London Fog, and their blueberry Breakfast Cookie is amazing!“

“Ok! So. I can’t describe even how AMAZING this matcha spot is. I just visited it eith my boyfriend after driving 20 mins to come. It’s real authentic matcha. The flavour is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD. I got a matcha latte, and the pistachio matcha ice cream. Both delicious but the ICE CREAM is something everyone who decides to go should try. I’ve never tasted a treat aa good as this dessert. The girl was also very kind and helpful. 100/10. Well worth the drive and will be back regularly!!!“

“The drinks here are so delicious every time I come their on point! My favorite staff are Miwa and Lily! They both make my orders quick and efficient and with care. Today Miwa did a good job even after their were so many orders. I love this location 5 starsssss!!!!!!! ⭐️“

“Sister went to order a coffee for us while I waited at a table. It was so nice that the barista was talking with her and acknowledging people as they came and went. When they got busy with teenagers, they got them in and out so quick! Glad our order was ahead of them.“

“Tasty sandwiches and excellent coffee. Nice cyclist friendly cafe atmosphere. I want one like this in Japan 🇯🇵“

“I’ve been going to MySweeTooth for almost a year now. They have a variety of drinks and pastries. I have to say not everything on the menu is my taste, but I’ve still always enjoyed my experience there. The owners are so nice! And I always feel like a valued customer when I am there. Some of my favourites are there Mango Slushy with Coconut Cream Jelly or Ice Cream and their Hot Dog milk buns. Just this week I finally had the chance to try their fresh Strawberry and Mango mochi, WOW! I think the thickness of the mochi really complements the cream inside well. Even if you only have the chance to go their once, it’s defiantly worth it.“

“I had a cappuccino and the gluten free bacon waffle. The waffle was delicious, the bacon was real and think, not grocery store bought. It was great service, great coffee, would be great to have coconut milk as a nondairy alternative.“

“pretzels!! and just coffee. simple. lovely“

“Always good service and fast at this location“

“First time here. Staff were super helpful, place was cute and food was delicious. Highly recommend you to stop in. Lots on the menu, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to come back 😊“

“This is the best Tim Horton’s in Burlington. I have been to the Guelph Line and Brant and both staff need to see how customers are treated at the Lakeshore Branch.
This should be a training store. All the staff are welcoming, friendly and remember you as a person. The food is always prepared efficiently and quickly. I usually visit at 7:30am but today I dropped in at 11:00 too. I was very impressed how High School students were treated with respect. Any compliments will not do them justice they are so deserving.“

“We visited your café yesterday and everything was absolutely delicious. Our kids especially loved the sweet sandwich—it was their favorite! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the food was truly amazing. We highly recommend the steak, coffee, and the chocolate cookie. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely come back again soon.thank you❤️😍“

“I stopped by Tim’s this afternoon, and it was such a great experience! The service was quick, and the place had a nice, welcoming vibe. Ethan was especially helpful — super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right with my order. The coffee was fresh, and my food came out perfectly. It’s always nice to be served by someone who clearly cares about good service. Thanks, Ethan, for making my afternoon stop a pleasant one“

“I stopped by Alia’s today and had a great experience. I’ve been wanting to try their gelato for a while, and I finally did. The Kinder Bueno gelato was delicious, you can really taste the Kinder, hazelnut, and chocolate. I also tried their macchiato, which was excellent and nice and strong. Highly recommend this place! The staff member working today, Mo, was extremely kind and helpful.“
