Balzac's Coffee Roasters

A nice coffee shop option in Stratford, and the original too! With two patios, you can enjoy the summer weather, and there is lots of seating inside as well. It can get a little busy sometimes, so be prepared for a bit of a crowd.

My husband and I have been going to Balzac's for YEARS in Toronto-- it's our favorite coffee shop! Visiting Stratford for the first time, we made sure to visit this location because this is where it was founded.

Consistently, fantastic coffee, a good selection of baked goods. And I enjoy the little seating area outback. Probably the best coffee in Stratford, although the tall ceilings and busyness make for a fairly loud, Cafe experience.
