“Wonderful cozy restaurant with a large selection of Colombian food. Super friendly staff. We love it !“

“New place with competitive pricing and friendly staff. Always nice to support local small business! The café is very cute and cozy. I got a London Fog and a blueberry scone for $8.75. Both were fresh and the cups are a good value for the cost. The staff are knowledgeable and appreciative.“

“Clean space with speciality beans and good coffee that they know how to make properly! The only down side is that it was pretty slow to get my drink. Kind service that delivers to your table. There’s wifi and a few tables for staying, no patio. Will be back!“

“Phin coffee bar is one of a kind! The owners are very kind and helpful as you place your order. They have also wonderful selection of unique, freshly roasted beans, and have helped me to purchase just the right beans for my espresso at home. The shop has seating and is quiet enough to study, work or have a visit with a friend. I have thoroughly enjoyed every coffee I’ve had at Phin’s! They also have a great selection of treats. Highly recommended!“

“Atmosphere, service, food and coffee!“

“Good but expensive. Like airport latte prices. Thats the only place ive paid over $8 for a coffee. Once you tip you might as well have bought lunch. But I'll say this expresso is like rocket fuel. Very similar affect to coffee ive had in the Dominican Republic. If you need to lock in or be up for 2 days this is for you. 😮‍💨“

“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.“

“Amazing breakfast!! Great service!! Definitely recommend this restaurant!!!“

“Great selection of photography books. Kindest barista ❤️“

“Good coffee in a great mug and yummy muffin. Also loved their is a place for dogs“

“Hola was great Columbian food always went back for more the staff was very friendly I always enjoyed talking with them.It is too bad that they closed permanently I'm not getting any answers back when I call“

“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! ✨ 💎 ☕️“

“A huge thank you to the amazing team at Chatime Burlington! There’s no better way to kick off the summer than with one of their refreshing drinks. We’ve been loyal customers since this location first opened, and every visit has been a fantastic experience. The store is consistently spotless, well-organized, and welcoming. The staff and management always go above and beyond with their friendly service and positive attitude. It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards year after year. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great drinks and exceptional customer service! 😉🌟“

“Amazing service and drinks“

“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.“

“Delicious! We came here on a whim and needed Eggs Benedict and I was blown away with the precise quality and fantastic Eggs Benedict. Crisp and savoury bacon and really good hollandaise sauce. Without any side dishes to clutter the dish or compete with how good the Eggs Benedict was. Deeply impressed with the service and pleasant atmosphere. Not your run of the mill diner Eggs Benedict.

The waffles are also to die for. Crisp and light with the perfect amount of icing sugar.

I'm coming back even if I don't own a dog!

(Note this is a dog friendly inclusive splace, not a dog cafe where you go to pet dogs in residence. Be prepared to have dogs wander around in the dining space.)“

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

“This is definitely one of the best coffees in Burlington, made with freshly ground beans. Their latte exceeded my expectations, it was so authentic! There are plenty of seats. It's quiet and it was really nice while I was chatting with friends. I will definitely come again.“

“The pastry’s are delicious and drip coffee was good! I came at opening and was surprised to see the sitting area almost completely full not even 10 minutes after opening. There is seating outside but we fortunately got one of the last remaining tables inside.“

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

“Best Donuts in Ontario! The Creme brûlée donut is out of this world! Can’t wait to come back 🍩 ❤️“

“A quaint neighborhood cafe with live music occasionally and open-mic on Tuesday evenings. The side patio is lovely with shady spots during the summer heat and plenty of parking. 10 outta 10 recommend 🙂“

“Their delivery service is amazing! A great selection of products, fair prices and fantastic quality.“

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

“Lovely little spot on Barton E, close to hospital. Alice was wonderful making sure we were happy with our beverages and meal. We splurged and had the steak and eggs. Soooooo good. The cafe is on the pricey side but the food is excellent. Will go again for sure.“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Tribeca for a few months now, usually on weekends before work, and it has easily become one of my favourite coffee shops and definitely one of my top 3 in Burlington. The baristas are always so kind, welcoming, and quick with orders, and the overall atmosphere is amazing. The shop itself is really cozy and cute, which makes it such a nice place to stop by. My personal favourites are the iced banana bread matcha latte and the iced banana bread latte, both are definitely worth trying! I also love how they keep up with trends and are always coming out with creative drinks, like the dot cake latte. There’s always something new and interesting to try, and the quality has been consistently good every time I’ve visited. Definitely one of my go-to coffee shops in Burlington and a place I’ll keep coming back to!“

“Staff at this location are incredibly friendly and polite. They treat you well and always make the drinks perfectly. While the service can occasionally be a little slow, they make sure to politely let you know ahead of time that it will take a moment. That level of courtesy and care really sets them apart from other Tim Hortons locations.“

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

“Great staff and breakfast“

“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“

“Amazing“

“OH. MY. GOODNESS.

Best gelato ice cream you will ever have!
I've tried many gelato ice cream places, but this one is now at the top of my list.

Flavor: rich, real fruits, lots of dairy-free (DF) options**** and a variety of different flavours.
Price: doesn't matter, worth every penny!
Freshness: very fresh, even the ice cream that have wafers inside, they're crunchy and just perfect.

We tried the blueberry lime (DF), pina colada (DF), pistachio and tiramisu. Each one of these flavours have its own uniqueness, you cant get enough!

Highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it yet, you'll definitely be going back to try different flavours.“

“This is by far the best Starbucks around!!! The staff are AMAZING, so friendly and welcoming. They really go out of their way to make you feel special, especially Patryk and Noah, they always brighten my day. The drinks are perfectly crafted every time but truly the staff are the reason I always choose this specific location.“

“My two year old is lactose intolerance I dropped in and Chocolate on James had some vegan selections. did he ever love it!!! all the chocolate is so 😋 😋“

“Always good service and fast at this location“

“you have no idea the amount of money i spent here in the past just because there was a reliable internet connection. I went last week and there was a sign that says to "talk to each other" and to "pretend it's 1995". keep up with the times or you will lose the few loyal clients you have left. other than that, the coffee is still great.“

“Coffee from Guatemala to my front door in 4 days! Delicious coffee, amazing service, and supports incredible women. What more could you want?!“

“Our fav is their Half and Half. Tried a few flavours and all seem to be perfect. What we don’t like is the absurd self-made rule of stop serving milk shakes 15 mins before closing. Turned around two times now for being 2 mins late and the excuse that they just washed the blenders. They should honour the customer rather than giving these excuses. When your closing time is 10pm then you should be serving everything on the menu until that time or change your closing time to 9:45pm and ask your people to start washing blenders after that. Good food is one thing but having such an attitude towards customer destroys everything. The owner or whoever is making these rules should take notice“

“You have to try it out!!!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE the vibe here they are incredible ! V.V the manager is so sweet! Sadie at the front had amazing customer service, Kevin the baker is always hard at work, Raman did amazing job with making the food! I love coming here as often as I can because they brighten everyone’s day! Go visit!“

“Irene is the ONLY reason my wife and I visit this Starbucks. She's got exemplary customer service skills! You can sense a distinct difference in energy and GENUINE warmth within the store when she is on a shift, compared to when she's not. This contrast has only gotten more pronounced over the past month or so.

5 stars when Irene is in
2 stars otherwise“

“Love this location!! Staff are amazing!!!“

“My new favourite! ❤️ Drinking chocolate, not hot chocolate. 😀“

“Food is pricey, but it was worth it to me! I ordered the vegan croissant and accidentally got the vegan burrito, but didn’t get it changed because the burrito looked equally as good ;) It was jam packed and really yummy. The inside space is small, but my girlfriend and I loved eating outside as there are lots of tables to choose from. The staff are very sweet as well. Will definitely be back, especially since the amount of vegan options in the city is dwindling. My only complaint is that i’m not really a fan of when places up-charge for non-dairy milk.“
