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.

Just visited the Whitby location this weekend and was absolutely blown away. What a beautiful cafe…read morewith amazing decour, service, ambiance, music and all around vibes. To top all of the warm fuzzy feels when you enter, the food and drinks are just amazing. They are certainly on the pricier end of cafes - so this is an important consideration. But I personally find they use quality and fresh ingredients. My family loves their pastries (both sweet and savoury). I tried their salted white matcha, which was so delicious. I'm a die hard fan of their strawberry cups and tiramisu. Honestly, some of the best tiramisu out there. So happy they opened another location because the Oshawa one can get quite busy. Was great to see a larger cafe doing so well as a small business.

We swung by this cozy little spot for warm bevvies on an unexpected snow day in April and we were…read moreimmediately smitten with their vibe. The space is sparcely decorated and airy. We could see the gigantic bags of coffee bags used for decoration, lots of books on birds and insects and comfy looking seating that made the space very inviting. Any other time, I would have loved to vege out with a book for a while but we didn't have the luxury of time then. We ordered a corrafo with their decaf coffee with a chocolate syrup for my daughter and I tried their pour over, which is a lot like a single serving of hand drip coffee. I opted for their barnyard owl (?) dark which turned out to be slightly more acidic than what I am used to. Both drinks were prepared with great care and we were definitely happy that we discovered this little spot.

They have purchased loved again items for the shop and they even promote local artists in the area. I will definitely come back here and chance I get .

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!
