Cozy space and lots of seats, but I always have to wait forever for my drink. There were at least multiple times where I had to wait like 20+ mins for a drink since there was only one worker. I can't really blame them because it can get busy at times, but waiting like 30 mins for a tiny little drink is insane. I swear the service used to be much faster so it might have just been the days I chose to go. They have a great bathroom, though. I was shocked at how nice it was.

The location isn't great as it's tucked away in a pretty empty plaza. Even the ambiance upon entering doesn't give off the impression that the coffee will be THAT good but I'm here to tell you it is! I got the Iced Spanish Latte which was sweet and creamy and the espresso was so balanced and didn't get lost in the condensed milk. We also tried a Pourover and I like that you can choose any beans they offer! We went with the Loco Series Lychee Pop and it was outstanding. I'm a big fan of lychee and rose, both flavors are very palpable and even the aroma/color of the pourover were proof that it would be good. We ended up buying a bag of the whole beans. They're some of the best beans I've ever had. The barista is not only hilarious but definitely knows what he's doing!

What would bring you to Erin, Ontario? Maybe a visit to the Cheltenham Badlands? Well, that's…read moretechnically in Caledon, so I'm not sure it counts--but it's close enough. What brought me to Tin Roof Cafe in Erin was my son's baseball game against the local team. With time to kill and bellies to fill before first pitch, we stopped by Tin Roof Cafe. It looked like the most promising spot in town, and we were fortunate to squeeze in an hour there before their daily 6 p.m. closing time. My son ordered the Tin Roof BLT, and everything about it tasted incredibly fresh. I especially appreciated that they used locally baked bread instead of the typical store-bought variety. (If you're wondering, they also offer a regular BLT--but you won't get the turkey, avocado, or chipotle mayo that make the Tin Roof version so special.) It was a delicious sandwich from start to finish. For myself, I ordered the Nutellaccino. It was surprisingly good. The Nutella added a nutty richness to the coffee without making it crazily sweet. We also ordered a peanut butter brownie to go. Since my son was eating his sandwich first, the staff kindly offered to keep the brownie in the fridge until we were ready to leave. However, since we still had some time to kill and of course a sweet tooth, so we ended up eating the brownie before we left. The brownie was so...good. You could tell it was homemade, and even the peanut butter was homemade. The only disappointment was that I visited during the summer. Otherwise, I definitely would have tried one of their soups, which unfortunately aren't available during the warmer months. I love coffee shops with personality, and Tin Roof Cafe has plenty of it. Its cozy, funky village vibe made our one-hour visit feel warm, welcoming, and memorable. It's exactly the kind of local café that makes a small-town stop worthwhile.

The staff is summer friendly, helpful, and prompt. I've always bought different prepackaged buns from my local Asian grocery stores (oceans, ample & tnt) or school campus until now. The buns at kin kin are cheaper, fresher and bigger! I haven't tried a flavour I don't like. My favourite is the pineapple coconut bun when I'm feeling for something sweet and the garlic buns when I'm feeling for something savoury. I usually buy 6 buns for 6 dollars. I havent tried any of the drinks yet so i cant comment on that but the buns and sweets alone are enought for me to keep coming back. **During my last visit I noticed they are selling Japanese cheesecake, so I'm looking forward to trying that next. @britanysbites

Beautiful coffee shop, terrible matcha drinks…read more Came on an afternoon to do some work and knew that this spot would have a beautiful interior. During the summer they also have patio seating just outside. Staff was friendly, the space was nice with high ceilings, and lots of people getting their caffeine here. I opted for their matcha latte which was not great, lacked matcha taste and was a pale green colour. I'm not complaining though since this is a coffee shop and I should've gotten coffee instead. Thought their other aspects of the coffee shop made up for everything else, like their free wifi, beautiful space, and good staff.

As for the interior, it was very aesthetic. Definitely had to snag a picture of their set up of coffee bags! The only struggle was parking, since there's no dedicated parking spots aside from the SMART VMC (Subway station) parking, which is a bit of a pricey ticket if you're looking just to get coffee or food nearby.

Price is slightly more expensive to independent coffee shops and fast food coffee. I have gotten a matcha soft serve ice cream, a matcha drink and 2 cold latte drinks (Spanish & Kyoto). Every thing tasted was pretty bold. When I finish the matcha drink, there was a bit of unmixed matcha at the bottom of the cup. For the matcha taste, it is a lot more bitter and will be different from other places' matcha drinks because I think the matcha is directly from Japan.

They use the highest quality organic fruits and vegetables and are most famous for their cold-pressed juices. Instead of getting a cold-pressed juice, I decided to get one of their açai bowls. Here's my rundown: Food There were three açai bowls to choose from - classic, beauty, and soul. I got the beauty açai bowl which had the açai, avocado, coconut oil, and almond milk blend topped with bananas, granola, coconut flakes and fresh strawberries. The açai blend was smooth and rich in flavour while the fresh fruit and oats made for great flavours and textures. It was a very refreshing treat to get and had the perfect balance between all ingredients. Atmosphere Can't really comment on the atmosphere here because the store is quite small and has minimal seating. There were about 4 high chairs to sit but it's more meant to be used while you're waiting for your drinks or bowls. It's small like most downtown cafés and this place is more so for those grab and go type of people. Service Service was really friendly and the employee was helpful in helping me make a decision about the type of bowl to get. No complaints here; they were really inviting and patient with my indecisiveness. Price I paid $10 for the açai bowl! A little pricy but you're paying for quality organic food here so it's worth every dollar. Verdict Refresh is indeed a refreshing experience has they use only the finest organic fruits to make their products. I'm excited to return here to try their juices and other açai bowls. Definitely worth a try if you're roaming around downtown Guelph. A well-deserved 5/5 experience!
