MAHTAY CAFÉ & LOUNGE REVIEWS

We had drinks, bagel sandwiches and desserts and loved every single thing that we had! I would especially recommend the pecan square which was out of this world!! The staff were friendly and welcoming and there was a great atmosphere in the seating area for dining in. Vegetarian options: A few of the bagel sandwiches are vegetarian and many of the meat bagel sandwiches on the menu have a vegan option Dietary restrictions: Vegan options for many food items and non-dairy milk options for drinks.

This place is part of a dying breed of coffee house that are genuinely part of a community, and reflected in the wonderful integration between a business and the people that live there. I wish these that these community oriented coffee houses could last in an era of high rent s and cookie cutter pseudo-upscale decor.

Pulled in off the highway during a snowstorm to wait the storm out. Ordered a Chai Latte and split pea curry soup. WOW! Talk about "on the money". An absolutely delicious lunch for under $12...in a cozy, cool café.

STARBUCKS ST CATHARINES REVIEWS

This has been my go to stop for three years now and I recommend this location to everyone I meet. The staff are so attentive, efficient and customer service 12/10. Genuinely on my worst days I can count on the baristas making me an excellent coffee & cheering me up. I have never had an issue here and im sure you will fall in love with the atmosphere and the staff. Shoutout to my baristas : Emile, Shelby, Jenn, and Ash! The whole team is incredible!!!

This is my new favourite location because they make your drinks like they're going to drink them themselves.... epically! OMG! The Caramel Brulee Latte here was the yummiest piece of heaven in the world! This is the only location I'm going to ever.

I never write reviews but everytime I come to this Starbucks they’re so extremely nice and welcoming! Best Starbucks ever and she wrote the cutest message on my cup. Really made my day I wish I got her name!

TIM HORTONS REVIEWS

We make frequent large orders at this Tim Horton’s location for our business. Our orders take the staff a lot of preparation, time, and effort to complete. Mike and his staff do a fantastic job every-time. We are so appreciative of this team and we want to recognize them for the hard work and efforts that they put forward for our business. Their customer service is impeccable and we are always treated with kindness and respect. Thank you Mike and staff for all that you do for us, it does not go unrecognized.

I called to order to 70 cup jugs of hot chocolate for my child’s school. I dealt with the manager Mike and he was wonderful! Very kind and organized we really appreciated what they did for our local school.

Great team working there , happy , fast and friendly. Keep up the great work !! Been inside and drive through, both excellent experiences.
