Cork & Bean Oshawa chose to call the police on a peaceful, paying customer for wearing pro-Israel…read moresymbols and having a calm conversation. Let that sink in. My friend -- a Christian, not even Jewish -- was meeting with a pastor for coffee. He was wearing an IDF jacket and a Star of David necklace while discussing a recent trip to Israel. No shouting. No confrontation. No disruption. Just coffee and conversation. An employee called Durham Regional Police. Officers showed up and told him his conversation was "offensive." When asked what was said that violated policy, no one could answer. No rule cited. No clear complaint identified. Just vague discomfort -- and removal. So what exactly triggered this escalation? Not behavior. Not threats. Not harassment. Symbols. And Israel. Calling the police on someone because others don't like what he's wearing or the country he's discussing is cowardly and discriminatory. Businesses don't get to selectively silence viewpoints they don't agree with. And weaponizing law enforcement to remove someone over perceived "offense" is an outrageous abuse of discretion. If Cork & Bean believes visible support for Israel warrants police involvement, they should say that publicly. If they don't, then they owe an immediate explanation and apology. Until management addresses this directly and transparently, this establishment does not deserve community support. Do better.

My food had a small black hair in the chips and a long strand of black hair in the drink, I am blonde. The food has made both me and my boyfriend feel unwell. We were told when coming in that there was D&D in a few hours so it would get crowded. Instead, we were told to leave. If you are charging someone this much, you should kick them out and give either a discount or reserve the tables ahead of time. The rating could be higher because my boyfriend and I made it fun for ourselves but the overall cafe experience was disappointing.

I've been here twice - once in the summer and once recently in November…read more I got two gelatos in the summer and I thought the price was reasonable (I think it was around $3 for one). It came in a container with a lid so you can easily take it to go and there was quite a lot of gelato too (I couldn't finish it). If I remember correctly, they make the gelato themselves. I have an addiction to pumpkin spice lattes so when I saw their sign outside saying that they sell it, I had to try it. I think I prefer Second Cup or Starbucks' pumpkin spice latte over Isabella's but it's not bad here. This is a cute little place to catch up with a friend or to relax with a cup of coffee. They sell a variety of snacks that I'll definitely be trying!

First time back in awhile and I waited forever (there was only one person in front of me and 4 staff on) just to get a barista who had no idea what she was doing. She was bumping into others, couldn't understand my chamomile mint tea order and kept trying to punch in a creme brule latté until I showed her on the app, couldn't understand my name even when I spelled it, couldn't find the tea bags, asked someone where they were, STILL couldn't find them, and just wandered around with my cup. I watched her finally leave my empty cup on the back counter, pass me my pastry, told me "Your tea's ready" and then went on break. The barista on the coffee machine realized I was still waiting and got someone else to make the tea, but it still came covered with honey on the side of the cup. I was waiting for 20 minutes. For a tea that I couldn't even drink.

Unfortunately, the staff overheated the sandwich, which was way too hot to take a bite. There were 3 pieces of very chewy and dried up chicken.

Their frappuccinos are okay, especially on a hot day. Service was a bit slow, especially since there was only one other person.
