    Bagel

    Cute little spot, their bagel sandwiches are delicious. Service was wonderful, the worker has been there for over 20 years and makes everything fresh to order. Would go back!

    Great find. I deviated from my Starbucks routine as I just wanted somewhere close, and found this place. How have I lived so close for a year and never noticed it? I went in today and it smelled wonderful! The owner Christina was friendly and knowledgeable beyond compare to a coffee house I've been to before. I mentioned I was an iced coffee girl and she just started walking me through options. I ended up with an iced salted caramel turtle with oat milk and it was amazing! Christina shared that if I call ahead she will run my drink out to me too! I tried one of her customizable breakfast sandwiches and that was so good and what a great price at $3.75! I will definitely be back!!!!!

    I came in here for the first time today and really enjoyed my visit! The owner is very friendly and helps you find what you would like. I got a butter pecan coffee and a breakfast sandwich on an Asiago bagel. So good and put sbux to shame!!

    Plenty of sugar free options!!!

But other than that that's the only complaint that I have. Friendly staff, amazing food and drink. I love the lotus crepe as well as the barbecue chicken, I have to admit I could eat one of those about every single day of my life. I loved the banana bread espresso. There's four shots in it so just FYI. Maybe don't drink it after 5:00 p.m. like I did but it was still worth it. The ambiance of this place is absolutely adorable with a rich emerald colored green chair and couch with nice cognac colored armchairs, and a nice fireplace at the head of the cafe gives a cozy and warm ambiance as well as the beautiful Christmas decorations that they had while I was there made it a place that a lot of people wanted to hang out. There were at least six other tables with friends and family just chatting which honestly led to a really nice sense of community which a lot of places in America don't have. And I found this place to be absolutely lovely and worth every penny. A true gem to Oakville!

I already knew what I wanted, so I figured my time at the window would be short. It seemed to take a really long time to get to the ordering window, let alone the pickup window. When I ordered the $6 special that is being advertised, I was told that they were out of bacon as well as the bagel the sandwich normally comes on. Really? Once I ordered, the drive to the pick up line moved quickly. The cashier verified again that I would accept the sourdough bread, and sausage instead of bacon. I was pleasantly surprised to be offered the caramel syrup for my coffee, and I was happy to accept it. I've never been inside this location , but what I could see from my car looked nice. The main source of my disappointment was the substitutes. It seems every time I come, there is at least one necessary substitution. Maybe if I had come earlier in the morning... Edited to add: once I opened my sandwich, I realized that it was marked wrong. Do better, Dunkin'!

When I arrived and got into the drive thru line, I say 5 cars in front of me and decided to try to back up to just go inside, but that's when another car pulled in right behind me so I was stuck (thanks to the cars and the curb). After 5 minutes of not moving at all, I was really starting to get annoyed and lose patience. What is the point of a drive thru if it's going to take so long? I got in the line around 10:13 a.m. and by the time I pulled around to speaker box, it had already been over 15 minutes in line!!!! Then, it took another 8 minutes from the speaker box to the window. Even watching people go inside to order, I noticed that it was taking them 10-15 minutes before they were coming back out. No idea why it was taking so long to pour coffee and grab donuts. There are other drive thru's at much busier places that do not take that long. I will never come back to this location again.

Was happy to see that it wasn't crowded as I sometimes get anxious in a crowded place especially when the space is small. I was greeted once I went up to the counter. Not soon after I get up to the counter more people started to come in so I felt rushed and since it was my first time I wasn't expecting to be so many options that I panicked and just ordered the first thing I saw on the menu. Think it was a dolche latte maybe. Got it hot in a 12oz with almond milk and quickly checked out as others were behind me. I st down in one of the chairs by the door since I had an hour to kill and wanted to wait till I got the chance to go back and look at the rest of the menu. Little did I know that the place would just get busier and my time was up and had to leave. I did enjoyed my short time there while sipping on my late and watching my Kdrama and my late was really delicious. Now that I know about this place I will continue to visit while my daughter is at dance. I'll be back!!

I arrived early at around 8:15. This is a relatively small establishment with a small parking lot. It looks like they have a trailer available for mobile coffee service too. They were fairly busy and it seemed like only one person was working. This made the wait a bit longer than I expected, but the employee was working very hard and making good time considering she was alone. I enjoyed listening to the alternative music and hanging out in the store. It was clean and comfortable. I ordered one of their March specials, the Peanut Butter Guts, as I love coffee and peanut butter together. I also ordered a cookie from Cookie Hustle (which I think is like a sister business housed under the same roof) -- a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Sounded so good! I enjoyed my coffee drink. It definitely had a detectable and enjoyable peanut butter flavor, as well as the mocha. I think it was a tiny bit heavy on milk for my preference, but overall it was tasty. I ate the cookie later and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect chewy snickerdoodle texture and lots of yummy spices. I wish I'd gotten several different cookies to try more! When I showed up at breakfast with my coffee, my family remarked on how much they like this little shop and keep coffee from here at their house for special occasions. High praise! If you're in the area, give them some love! :)
