TL;DR/The Short Version: Cute little cafe. Ambiance is nice…read morebut I wasn't wowed by my cinnamon bun or tea. The Long Version: My husband and I met my husband's sister and her husband here to hang out before we went to see a show at the Studio Theatre. I got a cinnamon bun ($3.50) and a herbal tea ($3.50), and my husband got a black coffee ($2.75). The cinnamon bun was unremarkable in my opinion. It was just ok, maybe even a bit dry, and also on the thin side. Not thick and fluffy. My tea was just a tea bag from Four O'clock Teas (I got Turmeric Cinnamon, which at least is a more unusual flavour that I haven't seen in stores). The temperature was nice and hot, but it was just bagged tea from a brand sold in health food stores. The inside of the cafe is nice. We sat in the front room near the service counter, but there are back rooms that are a bit more quiet. I would say the ambiance is the nicest thing. Service was pleasant. Maybe some of their other baked goods have more oomph and maybe their crafted drinks are special. My experience was just ok, but it might have been what I ordered. Street parking or paid parking lot parking only, but the lots are free on weekends and you can park on the street for 2 hours for free. Review #39 (2025)

My favourite treat has been the chocolate covered macaroons - milk or dark chocolate. It doesn't matter which; they are both delicious!

Please note that the Perth Chocolate Works took over the space once occupied by Coutts, who has moved to an old building overlooking the water. This space is now more open and has no tables or seating inside, and less on display for sale, so it looks bright and clean. This might change as the holidays approach. Time will tell. Any time I go to Perth, this is one of the stops I make, so I look forward to my next visit. :-)

I hadn't visited a Timmy's so far this year and broke that trend by pulling into the parking lot. There was plenty of parking. I parked and walked in. I used the washroom first. It was reasonable. It had two stalls. Everything was clean and maintained nicely. I saw the hype for its dream cookies recently. I decided to get one. I went with M&M's because I'm a fan of the candy. There were two women on staff. Both were busy, but were nice and cheerful. I placed my order with one of them. My dream cookie was $2.29 before tax. It felt a bit steep, but I paid nonetheless with my debit card. I had my Timmy's barcode scanned first and then paid. I got my cookie in a bag. I thanked her and headed into my car to continue road trip 2023. There were lots of places inside this Timmy's to sit down to savour a baked item or beverage. Most had the same thought as I did. I need to get back on the road, so I will savour my cookie somewhere else. I had my cookie in my hotel room. I can see why these cookies are a dream. Mine had a crispiness on the outside that I loved. I had my first bite and it was chewy. It was a pleasant surprise getting such a balance. The M&M's were mini ones. This cookie was perfect. This Timmy's does have a drive-thru. It's rare that I don't take advantage of it. Maybe next time. It's a decent Timmy's. I had a good experience. I'm glad that I stopped by. (218)

And even on their busiest time, Saturday morning, when the locals want to get together for coffee and a chat and the Americans, like myself, have packed up from vacation and want a breakfast for the road, they run like a well-oiled machine. The drive-thru is scary towing a trailer, so I parked in the lot which boasts rest-area size spaces. Canadians are organized! One line inside which breaks into 2 - 3 orders stations which move well. Then to the pickup stations (2, one on each end) where you may wait for you sandwich to cook and be assembled, but if you are just getting coffee it comes almost immediately. Dedicated beverage people is how they do it. Now why isn't this all over? I've waited at a Dunin' Donuts for JUST coffee while the people ahead (No fault of theirs) are getting their westerns on toasted bagels and flat croissant sandwiches, Speaking of croissants, this location makes the best sausage, egg, and cheese croissants in North America. I'll have to try the Tim Hortons here in Chili and see if that is a true statement or it just tastes better on vacation!

The four of us arrived a few minutes before our 12:30 reservation. We were instructed to make our way to a table upstairs. One elderly member of our group is unable to climb stairs. We politely declined and were told we would have to wait for a table on the main floor to open up. The stools we were offered to sit at were so tall I had to practically lift my mother up. Then we started to feel how uncomfortably cold it was. A table cleared up about a half hour later but the girl at the desk quickly sat a party who had just arrived. They had reserved that specific table we were told and we had to wait longer. So we were made to wait another hour. Meanwhile, staff appeared panicked and in over their heads. We waited two hours from the time we got there for our meal. By this time the restaurant had cleared. We were served cold waffles and pancakes to be washed down with undrinkable coffee. At no point did anyone come to check on how we were enjoying our food. What a disappointment. No dessert on the menu. Awful food. We would have left to go somewhere else but where could we go that wasn't already booked up? We paid the $130 and left. I've had nice meals there in the past but I see no reasons to support that place again. This was too embarrassing and maddening for a repeat experience.
