SYMPOSIUM CAFE RESTAURANT LINDSAY REVIEWS

Have been to a couple of Symposium Cafe. This one has to be the best one I have been to. They customised my Fettuccine Alfredo to Red Sauce and it was amazing and so was the Grilled Vegetable Flatbread. Over all was an amazing time. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. Vegetarian options: Grilled Vegetable Flatbread and Fettuccine Alfredo are the 2 dishes I can recommend fot vegetarians.

Food is consistently excellent as is the friendly, courteous, attentive service. We haven't had anything we didn't think was really good. I especially enjoy the chicken souvlaki. Make sure you save room for their delicious cakes!

Today I went to symposium with my family and I tried their spiced Rub chicken dinner, zucchini noodles , Mediterranean salad Chicken the food was so Delicious. Good place with good food and ambiance. Lindsay .

KINDRED COFFEE BAR REVIEWS

Stepping inside Kindred will instantly brighten your day. The immediate infectious energy, enthusiasm, laughter and smiles that you are greeted by the staff working is unmatched - whether it is a slow time or a busy day, you truly feel valued the second you are spoken to by any of the girls or the young man working! It is clear they take immense pride in their work and genuinely enjoying connecting with each guest that enters the shop - whether you are a first time visitor or a regular. Knowing the staff truly care and are invested in getting to know you beyond your coffee order makes your visit feel special and adds warmth to the experience. While the drink and food menu are always top-tier and delicious. It is the constant kindness, genuine care you receive each time you visit that makes Kindred a true gem of Lindsay.

kindred is such an inclusive and welcoming environment. the two amazing women who started this business have put incredible amounts of time, effort, and creativity into each part of the shop. with new drink features coming out each month, and the design and atmosphere of the decor, i truly would say kindred is one of the most stunning shops i’ve ever been to. no matter what kind of coffee you’re into, there will be something for you at kindred. i have a hard time with the drink and food menus because it’s so hard to choose!! the food is amazing every time and the drinks are clearly made with dedication and love.

Cute cozy coffee shop with a few seating spots. Tried the salmon bagel and waffles. The bagels were really good. Drinks are good, got Matcha and coffee. Staff are friendly. Would definitely visit again.

TIM HORTONS KAWARTHA LAKES REVIEWS

Very standard Tim Hortons. Staff was nice and I found them very polite. I did find their cool times to be a bit slow, but given that they did warn me that eggs would take several minutes which delayed my order. Sounded strange to not have some eggs ready at breakfast time.

Was there around 10:20 am july 12th. I went through the drive through, gentleman on speaker was very fun! Made my day, he is a rockstar!! I will be back thanks to his amazing customer service. Also quick service for drive through!! Thanks !! Great job team!

Great place friendly and fantastic service by a gentleman named Josh.
