Café Cloudforest

Coffee shop

👍👍 I love that kind of hidden gem. This is a lovely cosy place with fantastic coffee. The almond milk latte is delicious and their butter croissant was just perfect (trust me, I am from France 😅).

Boho Latte

Coffee shop

👍👍 What a delightful find. At first glance unassuming, inside promotes calm and tranquility. Freshly brewed coffee that invigorates one’s senses and snacks that will satisfy even the most discerning taste buds. And friendly staff of course. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, look no further...

Ten Toes Coffee House & Laundry

Coffee shop

👍👍 The newest location among the three is full of characters - the antique furniture, colorful but classic interior decors, and the multifunctional space. Coffee is as great as it usually is. Glad it’s located in Chinatown.

Ten Toes Coffee House

International kafia coffee ltd.

Coffee roasters

🫤 I would really like to like this spot/change this review. After two different but negative experiences in the past month, I would suggest to owners that their staff/themselves follow public health masking regulations and treat customers with basic courtesy/attentiveness/responses to common questions...

Everything Raw Doggie Cafe

Pet supply store

😠 DO NOT GO HERE!! I would give zero stars if I could! First of all little back story , I have been feeding my dogs raw. I found this cafe and I thought might be good to check it out. I met with its owner named Lynne. She talks like she is a Veterinarian and she knows everything!! She also gets her “k...

Mr.Luko

Donut shop

👍👍 I got dark chocolate and Nutella. Both were great. First time trying out this place and this kind of pastry. I wish I discovered it sooner, it's so delicious. I could finish a box by myself. It's not too sweet either (but depends on the toppings you select). Give it a go.

Café Délice

Chocolate cafe

👍👍 I've searched in 4 provinces to find very delicious hot chocolate that isn't just a mix or syrup, and this place is heads above the rest. For those from the West Coast, this place was similar to Blenz in that it was real chocolate. The star of the show this trip was the iced hot chocolate they cus...

MCC

Cafe

👍👍 One of my favourite coffee places! Definitely bringing me some joy during the pandemic. The service is great, lattes are perfect, and treats are always top notch! With all the coffee places downtown, I always find myself back here. Would recommend to anyone looking for good coffee spot!

Espace DEP Sylvestre

Coffee shop

👍👍 J'ai eu l'occasion de venir déjeuner, dîner et "bruncher" au Dépanneur cet hiver lors d'un séjour au Québec. Formidable expérience !! Les repas sont savoureux et les bénévoles très accueillants. Un endroit où l'on se sent bien en toute simplicité. Alors, n'hésitez pas à venir découvrir cet endroit f...

Equator Coffee Stittsville

Coffee shop

👍👍 Equator coffee had some big shoes to fill when taking over quitters coffee shop. After going to equator quite a few times since, I’m happy that things are simply excellent.

5:2:8 Creative Coffee Collective

Cafe

🫤 I really wanted to like this little coffee shop. Went out of our way to visit it as I saw online that they’re about featuring rotating micro roasters and emphasizing the coffee itself, and that they encourage minimizing waste through reusable cups. The space itself is cool too, nice vibe and good mu...
