Tim Hortons
Reviews
Came into this Tim Hortons after my car broke down about an hour and a half before it closed. The women working, Charlene, was an absolute angel!! She was so lovely and helpful! After her shift ended she even offered us a ride into town. Thank you Charlene, your kindness is greatly appreciated ❤️
Dinner with four couples. Food was good but my Caesar salad was over dressed even though I ordered light dressing. The salmon however was perfection. Everyone “cleaned their plates” so all was well received. Our waitperson was excellent. It was too loud though - lots of kitchen noise as it’s open to the restaurant and table placement felt slightly crowded. But that’s nitpicking and overall we had a good experience.
Our home Timmies.. the food has always been amazing, service can get a bit slow during rush hour, as if overwhelmed, but I prefer to think it's just quality over rush. I'll wait. :)
Other than the slow downs, I can't say anything other than amazing reviews. This franchisee owner should be proud of their team.

They do not take cash! Really great coffee though and decent baked goods. Solid 4/5. Only one person works the register and makes coffee, so it is a slower wait at times, but it's a good spot.
great jacket! great sale price! great service! super value!!
So I’ll start off but saying that the atmosphere before Sam the owner arrived was great. His one waitress working today was lovely. However, after I was sat down for about 45 minutes enjoying my coffee and doing some light work on my computer the owner rudely came up to me, looked at my drink and without any introduction demanded that I leave or relocate to free up the table for new customers…
If I had known he didn’t want computers to be used I wouldn’t have sat down and used the wifi in the first place... after calmly explaining how I felt disrespected and that wasn’t a way to talk to customers, he became agitated further. Shortly finished my drink and left….I haven’t experienced something like this before coming to Jitters. EVER.
I suggested speaking outside to de-escalate the situation and he did eventually apologize however It was completely uncalled for behaviour coming from a business owner… ESPECIALLY reading the other 1 star reviews explaining identical scenarios.
I came her to enjoy a coffee and left with a terrible experience. Listen to the reviews, the owner needs to work on himself.

The order messed up and when we complained , they just said sorry . I ordered 2 different wraps and they were given 2 same wraps. Then they themself changed and gave me the wrap which I ordered, but without any sauce, just rice and cold chicken.
We were forced to throw food from timhortons to the garbage, for the first time. While we sat there in the shop itself one another group came and complained about a similar thing.
Might be the staff is new and not well trained. Anyways our first bad experience from timhortons.

The purple Eton shirt that I ordered online from the Boutique Jacques website is exactly what I received. Good service as well. Shirt arrived quickly, less than a week from order date. Thank you Boutique Jacques.
Although the garden entrance is not free, one can come there for free (albeit the price of a coffee) to study.
At least, that what I did today, and it helped me tremendously in my focus and relaxation to have a beautiful sight, gardened with a fountain in front of me.
+ the service team was so kind to let me study until the closing time! I was so focused I didn't notice, and they have been extremely gentle ;)

I loved the vibe here. The style of decoration is a little old-fashioned (not outdated, just an older aesthetic) with beautiful, interesting artwork covering the walls, a nice fireplace, and plants in the windows. It felt like my grandparents’ living room. The barista was very nice too, which made it a welcoming atmosphere.
I got a tofu sandwich, a brownie, and an iced matcha latte. The sandwich had slices of tofu, slaw, spinach, and soft cheese (I think it was melted cheese, maybe it was a spread) on fig sourdough. I liked that it was something a little different and healthful, and it was delicious (especially the bread), but it had been made in advance and the dressing had really soaked into the bread. The edges of the brownie were a little dry, but the middle was so good - it was fudgy but not overly rich. The matcha latte was very clumpy and the flavour was so-so, though the weak flavour is probably not because they used low-quality matcha but because it wasn’t fully incorporated. I would not get this again.
My total was $21 which is comparable to what I’d pay for a similar meal at chain coffee shops like Blenz or Artigiano. While there are certainly better coffee shops for food, this one was better than the competition at the price point. The food had that wholesome homemade quality that the big chains lack. But ultimately the atmosphere here is so comfortable that I’d choose it over a lot of places with objectively better food, which for me is saying a Iot.

This coffee shop at the corner is artistic. When I walk into the shop along the corridor from the entrance they are exhibiting the painting by local artist. Also the lightings are nostalgic.
I went there in a sunny afternoon and had a latte with a scone. Coffee went well and the scone tasted good. The barista was a very nice guy and very attentive.
I recommend this lovely cafe for anyone who enjoys a quiet moment in the afternoon with coffee and light foods.

Ordered an Americano today not too long ago and paid for it, while the staff or owner or whomever she was was making other drinks I said excuse me because I wanted to order something else and was met with an EYE ROLL. Wow. I wanted to buy a shot of Baileys for my coffee but I guess it’s a nuisance to your employees for customers to spend more money at the cafe. When my drink was done I wanted milk and this cafe seems to have control issues with customers dispensing their own milk and cream - I told her I could pour my own milk in the coffee and she refused to listen to me and I had to repeat myself firmly because I know exactly how much milk I want in my coffee and I think after spending money here I deserve to pour my own milk! I don’t think I’ve ever been treated so terribly at a coffee shop and would not give this cafe another penny if it was the last coffee shop on planet earth.
This 2 star review is merely a reflection of the quality of coffee. I think there must be something wrong with the machines because for the 4th time in under 2 weeks my friend and I have received coffee that tastes like water and cream. It is so bad!! Kept giving it a chance but not anymore.
Michael and his wife are so passionate about their business that you feel it in the quality of the food and drinks they offer. Their coffee is amazing and the ice cream is awesome (love how they experiment with flavours + they have the best Yuzu ice cream in Vancouver). You should definitely check this place.
The Courtyard at the MacLaren is such a beautiful place to host your wedding ceremony! The natural lighting coming in paired with the way you can set it up is great! The staff at the Mac is also amazing and provided perfect service at the wedding I officiated for Joyful Receptions this summer!
This place made us feel comfortable and delicious. Cosy and tender, sophisticated and relaxed.
We enjoyed all the meals: burrata with tomatos, salmon, spaghetti, panna cotta and creme brulee.
But there we several things I need to notice and hope that this place will take it into account:
• water per 1$. I’m strongly sure that place of such level simply cannot take payment for water. It discredits itself in this way
• burata&tomatos salad was served without basil. For this meal it is rather valued ingredient (yes, waiter kindly apologised after my question, but could offer some compliment I think)
• first waiter that served us was attentive and kind, while the waiter after her didn’t even ask us our impressions when billed us. It was just “thanks, have a good evening”.
I want to say that Cucina is a very pleasant place, for special atmosphere and reasons to come. I’m sure their customers come back again and again. But I want to ask the personnel to value customers and provide more friendly, attentive and customised service.

Excellent product, fairly priced and promptly shipped. Customer service was especially attentive and top of the line.
Friendly and welcoming staff, fresh cupcakes with yummy frosting (I had the raspberry one), and I love that they sell local items too. Definitely will be back.
The people at this Tim's are focused on customer service. They always seem pleased you have come by. Most of the time, I go through the drive through. Even when lines are long, it doesn't seem to take long. The one thing I appreciate, is that they get my order correct, even when it gets a bit complicated, Congratulations Brighton Tim Hortons!
An absolutely blissful place to be when you want to get away from everyone and everything noise. Here you can be with your thoughts and feel the energy and vibrations from all the exceptional artists.
Then you can enjoy lovely refreshements and healthy food in the Laxy Tulip Cafe located in the same building. I LOVE it there.

The food was stale and inedible. When I took it back to the counter I was offered a refund or replacement. I asked if there was anything fresh and was told 3 selections. I chose wraps that were horribly soggy. We threw out all three. It is so hard to believe that this café would sell such foul food. I will never go back even though we are members of the garden and it would be so lovely to have lunch there all the time.
Excellent quality merchandise and service. Boutique Jacques is a highly trusted company.
Can you please explain to me the price difference between the lunch bowls $9.99 and the wraps $7.99?
Yesterday I ordered two of the new bbq crunchy chicken bowls. But I received two wraps instead. I politely told them I ordered bowls, not wraps. They just dumped the wraps inside the bowls and called it day. The bowls weren't chopped up like they normally were, only filled up 1/3 of the bowl and the sauce was soaked up by the bowl. They were flavorless and honestly? I spent $20 on this. I'm not normally one to complain about such trivial things but with the price of living and food these days, it's unacceptable. I've ordered the bowls from other locations and they were so good. These, not so much.

Not great, wife ordered a chai latte, it was cold, in fact her stomach started hurting afterwards, maybe it was the milk? My coffee was bland, definitely not worth the high price and no wifi either. The place is nice but sadly that’s about it, so yeah we will not come back again.
The coffee is great and the staff was friendly 😍
But they didn’t have enough pastries!
But they didn’t have enough pastries!
I've said it before but I do like a little love with my latte. It's my opinion that a coffee shop should be the place for a friendly greeting, a wee chat and service with a smile. After all, you are paying a lot of money for some hot water, a little milk and an add-on that costs a fraction of the price if made at home. Anyway, I went into this place for a matcha and greeted them warmly and the lady at the counter just scowled at me during the whole process. She really didn't seem to be happy but might I suggest perhaps a change of career? The matcha was quite good but I won't go back because of the attitude.
When a burger is $20+ I really want it to be amazing - this was was good, but not amazing. I’d recommend it but not sure I’d go running back. I’ve had dinner and the expanded menu here and it’s worth trying for sure. This meal though wasn’t the greatest and the fries were pretty low in volume. They taste exactly how they look - decent.
this cafe is charming , great atmosphere, very friendly staff, and very tasty muffins with top quality ingredients and excellent coffee options…the whole environment speaks of comfortable and enjoyable dining…it as been a while since we last visited but we will be back soon…highly recommended…we really appreciated our cheese cake from Trees Organic shop , prepared and consumed on our back porch in a very pleasant way..very tasty !
One of my favorite staples when going to Vancouver. No pretension, centrally located, staff is great, easy selection if drinks and food, the staff is great, the food is what you want and expect and a great place to bring friends in the evening for some fun celebration. Try it. They are worth visiting! 😁
Went for breakfast this morning at 8:00 AM when they opened and the owner showed up a few minutes late. Breakfast was no good. The poached eggs were hard and the fruit salad was very oxidized (I wonder how long it had been out?). I wanted a pastry but there were nothing there until we left and it had been restocked……. Message to the owner - arrive before your customers and get the restaurant ready for your opening….Very disappointed.
We had the high tea special. When we arrived at opening, they said we had to wait a hour to receive the order. It does not say that on the menu. When I called a few days ago, they said 10 am was fine to order the special. We wanted to find a table outside before it became busy.
We enjoy it when it arrive.

Delivery was very slow.
I would have preferred to pay to have the option to a much faster and prompt delivery.
As for the solid Black Tie,. I am VERY disappointed and not happy with it!!
The tie is very wrinkled all over and badly bent at the tip that is right into the material.
It looked like the tie was just troughen into a big box with no packing paper or care taken to packaging,and shipped out to me.
The back of the tie has numerous loose hanging threads all over it.
Showing poor craftsmanship.
The front has some smeared markings and 4 round circles half way down embedded in the material.
Not sure what they are or if they can come out.
Stains,water damage.
Who knows.
Staff should have checked the tie over for these flaws and ensured proper packing to achieve the best and highest quality was meet for the price I paid for this tie.
I will try and have the tie dry cleaned and a professional seamstress try and repair this mess.
Thanks,
Randy D

The front of house staff will have you feeling like a VIP the moment you walk up to the door and it doesn't stop there. Once you're seated, the attentive service continues as you try to figure out what delectable item(s) to select as your flavor sensations but you can't go wrong. Head chef is second to none when it comes to the details and everything you imagine will come out damn near perfect. This is a wonderful place to enjoy an unique fine dining experience without the heavy price tags you'd expect from an establishment like this.
I tried to apply for a job posted on their website, sent an email with resume and cover letter, went in person also and left a resume. I also called their hiring department and left a message and after 3 months no one even returned my phone call. Their employee at the front desk told me the job posting has been there for more than a year. Maybe they should remove it so people don't waste their time applying or showing up in person. If a manager had at least responded to my messages that would've been respectful considering this isn't a regular grocery store or coffee shop.
I ventured out for a good ice cream, as this was one of the places that I wanted to try. I was pleasantly surprised. The man there that served me my ice cream, was super nice. The ice cream was very good and he actually put some time in scooping my ice cream and making it look so pretty.
Always a great coffee and a smile from the server. Come to look forward to Tims as every coffee means something to the employees
I had the special of the day which was Fennel & Potato soup and a BBQ pulled pork sandwich. Both were phenomenal. The level of spice in each were just the right amount. And the prices were very reasonable for the location. My wife had a Turkey Bisque soup and the Adobo chili chicken & black bean bowl. Out of this world for a vegetarian dish. The cafe and the botanical garden together are a top tier combination to occupy you for the afternoon. The next time we come back to Vancouver we will definitely be stopping by here again.
I've been going to Cucina well over 14 years and the food never disappoints. Especially the daily lunch specials. My friends and I normally go for Fish Special and that is always amazing. Lunch special Risotto Fish Dish last week was one of best I've ever had.
Lovely staff. Great art programs downtown and will offer art programs at other locations. Very accomodating. The actively support and offer creative opportunities to youth who may not be able to pay for programs. 💚🌞
I have started coming to this cafe more recently and love the atmosphere inside! It reminds me of some cafes from my small hometown where the staff are friendly and familiar! The inside is a lot more eccentric styling versus majority of other cafes in Vancouver. The iced chai is my favourite drink along with the iced tea lemonade! Love spending the afternoon here! :)
A great option for coffee and sit down with snacks. Open atmosphere and seating outside as well. The coffee is pretty standard but there is a fine selection of pastries and other eats. Good location close to Arbutus.
Great museum and does a great day camp for kids.
If you're going to go to a Trees in that area, make it this one, rather than the one close by at Broadway and Pine. The staff is really friendly and competent, and the atmosphere is excellent. There are really comfortable, cozy but spacious benches and tables and I found it one of the most pleasant "third spaces" that I've been in for quite a long time. The other one in that neighborhood is exactly the opposite and made me and my husband swear we were never going to go to a Trees again. I'm glad I tried this one.
We were married here in July 2023. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and doesn't need much in terms of decor. We had a blast! I highly recommend a wedding coordinator because the MacLaren is not a full-service wedding venue; you need to be on top of the planning and coordination yourself, and logistically there are a lot of moving parts on the wedding day. We hired Shannon Hirlehey of All Things Love Events and she was excellent. We were totally able to relax and enjoy the day since everything was under control. I highly recommend getting married at the MacLaren!
Amazing little place to learn about those who were here before us and see some amazing works of art.
They also have an unbelievable crustless sugar pie!

I couldn't resist giving this place a try after seeing it make waves on popular ice cream lists in the city. Coffee and ice cream? A combination that had me intrigued. While I wouldn't go so far as to proclaim it the absolute best, there were certainly some noteworthy elements to appreciate.
The flavor profile of the ice cream, along with its light and creamy texture, caught my attention. I opted for the HK Milk Tea with the Creamsicle, a delightful choice that perfectly suited the sunny day. The unique flavors they offer are quite enticing, and I must admit, I do wish they allowed sampling so that customers can explore the array of options.
All in all, while it may not have reached the pinnacle of ice cream greatness for me, I still found enjoyment in certain aspects of the experience. With their intriguing flavors and pleasant creaminess, this place is worth a visit for ice cream aficionados looking for something a little different.

If possible, I would give this on line clothes retailer negative stars. Just a warning for anyone in the US contemplating purchasing anything online from this establishment, you’d better know exactly what you want. Returning an item that didn’t fit for an exchange to them has been an absolute nightmare. When my emails were actually answered ( often with major delays) they were replete with half truths with no real action taken. This is a brick and mortar store in Montreal Quebec, that should stick to walk in business and immediately exit any kind of online presence ( at least in the US).
This place ticks all the right boxes for me. Food & drinks are divine, staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is groovy with Bossa Nova music playing. I have found a new favorite cafe in downtown Kits! Hope you like it as much as I did too!
Heart and soul food found in the heart of downtown Calgary! This Italian bistro quite the little treasure. I tried the gnocchi and it was delectable! Make sure you make reservations as this place was packed!
Great quality clothes, fast shipping from Canada to US, blazer packaged so that it didn’t come in a lump at the bottom of a box. Second purchase from them and have Boutique Jaques on my regular shopping list.
One of the best coffee I had since a long time. The shop’s retro look made it even more calming. Recommend it to everyone!
If Chili is so popular why is more not on hand?.
For 1 week I asked daily on my 1/2 lunch .
Whether it was 12 or 2 pm always sold out thats fabulous but when is best time to purchase?

This is my absolute favourite coffee shop in the city. The folks here really work hard to show up for their customers and have a positive impact on their days. The customer service is unparalleled. They’re lovely to chat with and sometimes they come out to pet my dog. Grateful for these folks and their commitment to facilitating genuine connections around coffee - I always leave with a smile. Such a great local spot!
Love this dark brown suede belt! It perfectly matches my dark brown suede Chelsea boots! The quality and craftsmanship of this belt is excellent!
We checked this small studio out on a Saturday morning. The ladies at the front desk were super friendly and helpful. If you live in the area it is well worth the visit. There was a juried art show for grade 12 students of simcoe County. The participants art work was awesome and interesting. Thank you for a fine visit and your welcoming staff.
Lovely place, kid friendly, always feel great stopping by.
We had visited this place since four years ago, unique ice cream flavors to choose from, siphon brew coffee with freshly roasted beans from the cafe.

Still great coffee, siphon brewers, pour overs, cold brew and nitro! Best value in town for roasted whole bean coffee. Third wave quality, grocery store prices. Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. The best. Ice cream is excellent as well. Voted 7th best ice cream in Vancouver.
On their site they mention a 1st saturday of the month activity for kids at 10h30 without any reservation mention. I got there and the house was closed, tried to call a couple of time and someone finally answered telling me the class was full and with reservation only.
There was literally 1 car in the parking and the place was locked. I really think the person lied to me.
Will never go back there ever again.

A little gem in the heart of Kitsilano! It’s what a cafe should be! Love the atmosphere, people and coffee. A great place to go to slow down and just be in the moment
Cucina offers an enjoyable dining experience, the staff are friendly & attentive. The menu is very well curated, the flavours of each dish were nicely balanced and perfectly delicious. I’m super impressed with the quality of food & service here, will definitely be back. 🥰
A lovely little place just in the center of the city. Good food, sweet wine, and nice people. Lets not forget; location, location, location. You can jump onto the train right after a nice meal to get wherever you need to go. You can't hope for anything better.
A pink-colored sign greets you on the street like a welcome mat for all of those who are in the mood for a romantic Italian nosh. However when you walk inside, you are walking into a modern, clean space where you think you might be in an old Hollywood movie.
My friendly server had a smile ready for me and knew their stuff when it came to the menu. As a vegetarian, I appreciated that they answered my questions about the menu. By their kindly advice, I had the mushroom parsley soup and the gorgonzola pear risotto. Each bite of both of these savory, creamy dishes melted me from the inside out. This might be my new comfort food.
Sadly, I can't have it all the time because it's just way out of my pay grade to make a habit of it. That is the only problem with this place. Thanks Cucina! I hope to come back soon.

very cute little cafe with nice coffee and ice cream! love the yuzu flavour (when it’s available).
coffee is freshly ground and there are lots of beans to pick from. my coffee loving friends love this place to try the siphon brew and the pour over

It's always an amazing place to visit and I usually have the gallery to myself new highlights every few months. This visit they gave free tea and Art exhibition books that are perfect for a coffee table.
Fine botanical garden, nice flowers, BUT, for owners and managers of the place: If you decided to give half of the garden for 2 simultaneous weddings and restrict access to those places-then why do you take full price for admission ticket? Me and my wife came to relax and enjoy nature, but instead we ware asked to leave most photogenic spots, because it’s a “private party there”, I feel infinite lack of respect and professionalism from all the employe levels, totally unfair and disappointing.
When I bring the coffee, tea and the muffin back to the table in the patio, my wife is upset about the paper cup and the paper bag. She is so disappointed about the cup and plate. She say everyone understand that the pandemic makes so many things have to change.
She is still remember that we always bring friends form overseas for the traditional English afternoon tea years ago.
All my friends say this is a really nice place for afternoon tea with a scenery garden setting. There are still some shops and hotels offer afternoon tea in Vancouver but this is the only one with the beautiful garden.
My wife really hopes this place can bring all the good things when the situation is changing.
We hope you make this place is a memorable place for all visitors.
If you visit the garden, remember to have a lunch or drink there, you will like it.
Thank you for the staff are so nice and helpful when we visited in June 2023.

I have been on other Trees branches, so nothing to add about their high quality coffee and cakes. What is special about this branch is its vibe, cozy place to do work and friendly baristas.
We had a very pleasant stop today sitting under the shade of trees, enjoying oat cappuccino and latte. The espresso was strong, but not bitter, and the foam very well made. I also had gluten free toast which was not very filling, but better than other sugared gluten-free cookies. They offer all-day-breakfast, useful to remember when I need to sit under a tree during hot summer months. The bathroom was spotless – no dirt above or under the base boards.
Quaint little coffee house located in Kitslano. I sat here, had an iced latte and watched people. Pretty music playing in the background with art hung on the walls. Very good feel here.
Ambiance froide
I would have given 10 stars if there was an option just because of the helpful staff . The Baristas Bella and Wyatt are super duper awesome!!! Made my day. The art pieces are done by them and they are mind blowing! For the coffee, it can't get fresher than this. The espresso shot was one of the best i had. I got the Peruvian beans for my aeropress and it makes a killer coffee. Both of them went out of their way to help me choose the best coffee beans. And took out time to explain about the different coffees. One of the best places to have a cup of coffee in BC. I didn't have the chance to try the cheesecake which is supposedly the best but will save the edit for another review.
Amazing place that offers a guided tour. The neighborhood is particularly beautiful. Best time to visit ~ May to Aug for soothing summer treat.
We recently had lunch after our walk in the garden. The cafe was not too busy and we got a table in the outdoor patio on the garden side.
There were reasonable options for lunch. There were sandwiches and wraps and simple desserts and snacks.
Coffee was good.
But the best part was to sit outside in the fresh air on a sunny day, which has been rare in Vancouver.
We enjoyed our outing very much

Stopped by for a quick coffee. The coffee shop is right by Burrard and 1st Ave. It’s quite bright with natural light and can get quite warm inside. The latte wasn’t bad. Good ambiance inside.
This is a nice modern coffee shop in the Arbutus/12th neighborhood. They roast their own coffee beans and they are not shy about it as their roasting machine is right at the front of the shop for everyone to see. The smell of coffee roasting is so wonderful and toasty especially on a cold day.
There's a big communal table in the middle of the shop and also a long counter by the window. The shop is quite cozy with warm lighting. It was not too busy late the afternoon so we were able to relax and enjoy our visit.
We were able to try the latte and chocolate croissant. The latte had a nice strong kick to it and not very acidic. We were hoping to try a mocha but didn't see it on their menu. The chocolate croissant was indeed quite chocolatey compared to other places.
You can buy their roasted coffee beans for $12 a bag. They got quite a bit of beans to choose ranging from decaf to espresso roasts.
Oh yes, they also serve ice cream too. We didn't get to try ice cream today as it was too cold, but when it warms up, we will certainly come back to try ice cream.

What an amazing eclectic place! The ambiance and vibe reflect the owner's great taste in film, music and art in general.
The service is excellent! Besides coffee and sandwiches, Jitters offers a plate of tasty tapas to go with your alcoholic beverage beer/wine.
What is really fun and unique about this place is the sense of community and neighborly vibe whether you live on Kits or visiting for the first time.
For travelers: This is a unique gem to experience in Vancouver

Well, this café could be a lot better! It doesn't look like a well-equipped café that you can find in Vancouver!
📌 Located at at the VanDusen Botanical Garden's Visitor Center, The Truffles is more good for drinking than eating. You have to order in advance before sitting. If weather is nice, you can sit in patio with a picturesque view of the garden and its lake.
⛳️ As its part of the whole VanDusen Garden, the ceiling and decoration is contingent and eye-catching.
☕️ The coffee is average, yet good to have especially with the beautiful scenery.
By the way, you might see one or some ducks 🦆 under your feet! They warn to not feed birds, but some ducks come inside and eat bread and cookie crumbs on he floor and then leave!

Great place for breakfast and people watching! The coffee was delicious and breakfast was wonderful! The art inside is beautiful and the service was great too! We met an older gentleman who told us about the artist and how he got a custom piece done by them! So wonderful how this cafe brings the community together! 10/10 would recommend and will come back soon
The information was great, but no activity for the kids so they got bored. The whole tour was in French which also made it difficult for them to keep an interest. As a francophone, I would give it 4 stars. Since my kids are anglos, I'm taking one star off.
Typically friendly and very enthusiastic staff at KAHVE. Low key environment for a chill study session, working remotely, or just hang out. I will definitely be back again.
Great coffee but slightly bitter to my taste. I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich and it was delicious. The service can be a little more friendly.
Interesting place to visit, right at the bottom of the St-Hilaire mountain. The staff is amazing! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Lot to discover on the first nations: legends, traditions, their way of living, degustation, and art presentations. There is also a little boutique with Indian souvenirs with reasonable prices. There is a small forest for a quick walk.
Cool place, nice events for adults. Great for kids as well, they have lots of activities.
Great ambiance, friendly service and cool owner. Very social dude!
Great place to hang out with friends
This place is nice and the avocado smoked salmon toast (came recommended) was fantastic. But I found the coffee too bitter for my taste. The staff were far friendlier to each other and to regulars than to me (someone walking in for first time).
But that salmon toast is a huge 5 stars. Portion not big but makes you appreciate every bite even more.

The personnel was very kind and helpful. The place is super nice and have 3 small 15 min walking paths to walk (no dogs allowed). We discover is a sugar shack... Cabane à sucre... But they do it in the traditional way. Is exactly what we where looking for so waiting for next year to go and have the real experience.
A favorite spot of mine. Afternoon Medium Decaf Capucinno is hot, nice coffee flavor, and just the right amount of coffee and foam. The cheesecake is amazing, although I try and go for something lighter. The lemon loaf is light with the right amount of sweetness. I tried their vegan cookie for the first time today. Filled with dried fruits and nuts, it is great and quite filling. Stop by and have a break.
Such an amazing place. The quality of the exhibits is usually amazing. I enjoy that the curator has a modern, somewhat-conceptual lean. It's a great place for a coffee after you check out the gallery, or just as a break from the downtown area.
Great espressos
