“This is a hidden gem in Hamilton! The owners John and Lina are active members of Hamilton and Waterdown with the best customer service. The menu has so many options such as protein smoothies, lattes, sandwiches, keto friendly options and more. If you haven't tried the egg salad sandwich you are missing out. The food is fresh with lots of healthy options for everyones liking. Go try it and support local.Location: Hamilton Mountain YMCA“
“Once in a while I try going to another coffee shop in town and am IMMEDIATELY reminded why I always end up at Jitterbug Cafe. It's such a friendly atmosphere, service is great and the food is great (especially the summer salad!!). Why do I even try other places? I won't make that mistake again. Jitterbug, consider me a regular going forward!“
“Our family always has such a lovely time at Symposium. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Thank you to Daliya for serving us today. Food is great. Atmosphere is always very pleasant, clean and quiet. Our 1 year old especially loves the kids menu and we love that kids eat free on Sundays. Always a great time.“

“The owner is just absolutely lovely, very friendly. Felt very welcoming. We ordered the Western Style, A basic Yummy, Pizza chicken Caesar, Harlisplit, Peaches and Cream and Oreo. Every single one was amazing, truly nothing bad to say at all 10/10 HIGHLY “
“Honestly The best bagels I have ever eaten. Always fresh, so flavourful and because I can’t eat more then 2 in one sitting….. great to freeze! The chocolate chip bagel is so fresh and delicious I eat it by itself all the time….and we always grab a good Baker’s dozen of the cheddar herb and everything bagels because those go so great with sandwiches or the ridiculously awesome homemade Herb and garlic cream cheese they sell!“
“This place is great. We took our 115lb Bernedoodle there this past Sunday. There were a couple of dogs inside already who came to greet Declan. Once Declan was comfortable, we took him off leash to explore.The other pet owners paid close attention to their pets to make sure they behaved. It was a great experience for our pup.When we first got in, the owner came and greeted us and gave us the rundown of the rules. The rules are no more than common sense for responsible pet owners - clean up after your dog, here are the supplies to help you clean up after your dog, keep an eye on your dog ... the normal stuff, nothing outrageous. The staff is very friendly and welcoming!They have special events each month, we missed the Easter photos by one day, but then again Declan wouldn't have fit in any of the costumes?They have specialty items for your dog too! We got the pumpkin bagel for Declan. It comes with cheese. Make sure to tell your server if your dog has any sensitivity. Declan loved his bagel. They also carry Yupp Muttballs!We'll be going back for sure. Declan slept well that night!Btw. Sorry, no pictures. I was pretty focused on D and also petting all the other dogs.“
“My fiancee and I just had your food for the first time. What the hell ...... IT WAS DELICIOUS! We rarely ever order Italian food bc it's just never the same as my nonna's or my father's cooking, but this was absolutely spot on. Fantastic flavors, quality ingredients, and just very authentic. We ordered the Pasta a la Norma (eggplant cooked to perfection, fresh basil, quality ricotta, and finally a sauce with the right amount of garlic i.e. a lot), and pepperoni pizza (that dough doe). What's the most ridiculous is that we've lived a 5 minute walk away for two years now and it never occured for us to get food here. That was stupid, and we will definitely be back. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.“
“Took my 4 year old here for a P.A. day from school and he loved it. he has been asking to go back ever since. we played some great games, got some DND dice at a sweet price and a few miniatures to paint together at home. He enjoyed the milk and oreos and I the cold brews. Awesome place filled with awesome people, awesome games, awesome goodies, and sweet deals. Overall AWESOME! Thank you guys for doing what you do for the gaming community.“
“We discovered The Hearty Hooligan after our daughter was diagnosed with an dairy allergy. We now eat here once a week! The food is always consistent regardless of the day of the week or how busy they are. Our favourites are the pickle fries and pizza rolls, we’ve also enjoyed the Mac and Cheese Bake, Moe’s fries, Mac and Cheese burrito, Crunch wraps.. all delicious! We usually add on a dessert to our order which is almost always a punkaroo cookie! The cupcakes and cookies are always good too. The atmosphere is fun and inviting and the staff is always friendly and welcomes you like they’ve known you for years.“
“This coffee and breakfast place is an absolute gem! As soon as I stepped in, I was enveloped by the cozy and rustic warm ambience, setting the perfect tone for a delightful morning. I ordered a cappuccino and a cinnamon doughnut, and both were simply fantastic. Host was incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home.“
“Great spot for delicious coffee and a snack. The vibe is chill and the staff friendly. Also very much appreciate a welcoming and safe space for queer folks. There’s roomTo work or just come for a friend and chat! The sandwiches are so so good!“
“I’ve come here a couple of times to study and I’ve found the atmosphere very relaxing. It also helps to see other people working! The food and beverages are good and I especially appreciate the “stay and study”( I think that’s what it’s called!) option which gives you two drip coffees and toast for $7. The staff if generally friendly and helpful. The music is great, the book shelf adds to the ambiance and on sunny days, the entire place is beautifully lit up! The only thing I’d want to caution against is that the seating is limited and usually the place seems fairly packed (which also says a lot about how popular it is!).“
“Quaint coffee shop, very cozy atmosphere. Coffee is great, though prices I find are pretty expensive in comparison to other shops around the area, especially for their specials which are small sized and starting at $6.. if I’m paying that much I would’ve hoped to at least have gotten it in a regular size.“
“Drop by and enjoyed a great sandwich for $6. Sat with Alberto and enjoyed a good conversation. Love the button jars and paying it forward. Welcoming and caring staff. It’s about Kinship as explained in Gregory Boyle’s book “Barking to the Choir”“
“Everything was delicious. The breakfast sandwich, breakfast tosti, I believe it was called, soo yummy! I had latte and a chai latte, both were perfect in every way. I also grabbed 3 cookies to go which were perfectly soft and chewy. Lastly, I really want to make mention of how wonderful the service was. I interacted with 3 different staff and each of them was pleasant, helpful and just good energy!“
“Have been to the location in Dundas and booked the truck for a party. Nothing but good things to say about both. Jen is fantastic, and warm. The kids loved the ice cream truck and I have enjoyed a few breakfasts and sweets from the restaurant. Worth the visit, and if you live in the west end, definitely look in to booking the truck.“
“We went with the kids to play some board games and we really enjoyed ourselves. There are so many games to choose from! We decided on games that we could all play since our youngest is 5. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Our kids enjoyed the freshly popped popcorn. Me and mom enjoyed our adult beverages as well! It was a great night out as a family.“
“A small organic and ecological grocery offering fruits, vegetables and canned foods, baked goods, coffee, wine and even a small variety of non-alcoholic wine. Local products in a rustic and charming atmosphere and very friendly staff with a smile ? Ideal place for groceries, buy a gift or just to have a coffee. Located on the charming Ottawa street.“
“Always clean, friendly, welcoming staff! Great food, portion sizes, and prices. It has been our favourite breakfast place for the last several years. They also have an amazing variety of coffee. We have never had a complaint with staff, food or cleanliness. 5 STARS all around!The only downside I would say is the bathroom is in the basement, down steep stairs, and a bit dark and cold down there. Not wheelchair compatible to use. I would still give them 5 STARS, though!Kid-friendliness: There is lot's of artwork on the walls to look at. It tends to be a louder atmosphere if the kids get a little too noisy. Pleasant and friendly staff to make kids feel welcomed too.“
“At first, the shop seems expensive but it actually has high cost performance if you want to learn about coffee and try a variety (4 coffees from a specialty roaster tasting set). We like coffee and make it at home everyday, but we are not close to the level of the staff here. Thanks @camdenhine for the presentation. It was fun and we learned a lot.“
“Unfortunately never got to sit in and eat any of their food despite repeat attempts. It seems to be the only place in Hamilton that does not understand the basic concept of holding tables/reservations/taking a name down to ring them back.I was told that if I need a table either I wait 20 mins right there, or go away for 10 mins and come back and then go away again if there’s no table. But nobody could guarantee me that since I came first could come back in 20 for said table and probably do something productive in the meantime. Get with the times folks.Yes this is a 5 star review because I can’t rate the food without eating it and I’m not an a$$h0le.“
“I've been placing a large order with Two Cougar Cafe once a month, and they have never disappointed me! The cafe consistently delivers high-quality meals that are fresh, delicious, and always on time. The variety of options on the menu is impressive, and everything is prepared to perfection. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and always goes the extra mile to ensure my order is exactly as requested. I highly recommend Two Cougar Cafe to anyone looking for a reliable place to enjoy great food and excellent service. They have definitely earned my loyalty!“
“I have been to House of Java twice now. I had excellent service and wonderful coffee both times. Today, Laurie made me an amazing cappuccino and the chocolate chip cookie was decadent! I’ll be here more often and will tell all my St Joes friends to stop in.They also have a good selection of local goods to support small businesses in our community.“
“Cute little cafe in the heart of Hamilton where locals spend cozy times trying their homemade sandwiches. I tried the cappuccino and chicken sandwich. They also have almond milk if you are lactose sensitive. The staff was working efficiently during the solar eclipse crowd rush and I must say they were doing it with a smile on their face. The women behind the coffee bar is a beast in serving coffee in record amount of time I. E. Within a minute or two. Great place for local artists to showcase their art as you will find various artwork with artist details hanging on their wall. I would like to visit on a calm day to take all of these in.“
“Delicious food, very friendly staff and great European bike culture vibe. Can't get much better than this. Their banana bread, their coffee and the vanilla latte are delicious. Really worth it stopping by. Even though it was busy, staff made sure we didn't have to wait too much for our order. Will definitely come back again.“
“Very spacious areas with a good amount of selection of family friendly games and drinks.The only thing Id suggest is more intermediate board games for the more seasoned players but definitely a good place to bring more casual gamers.Edit: Went back and glad to see them taking feedback and expanding their collection. I look forward to their growth.“
“It’s a nice cafe to stop by~The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly.I had hot chocolate, but it was a bit disappointing because it wasn't sweet and tasted bland.What’s unique about this place is that it has an art museum!“
“Great place. Highly recommend. First time at a shisha place and I had a great time. Friendly , welcoming , quiet , private. Fair prices , good seating , bathrooms clean. Overall atmosphere clean as well. Big variety of food and drink choices. They take reservations. Booths/tables spacious and comfortable. Allowed to smoke outside of building , cheese cake choices are amazing as well. Friendly staff. ???? Definitely be back soon.Wheelchair accessibility: Big space and big hallways/walk ways.“
“Great atmosphere with a lot of good food and drink options.Service was quick and friendly. Went for Saturday brunch around 12 and there was still some seating available. Sadly the Benedict waffle was out by that time so had the Canadian, very delicious.Great for dine-in, and take out. Also had lots of very cute merchandise for sale. Will definitely keep this on the list of places to be back to.“
“Last week my friend and I took a walk to the Hamilton Airport and discovered this lovely new addition. We were greeted by the friendly owner who despite our lack of sufficient funds provided us with two steaming cups of fresh decaf coffee.We also tried a date square which was served hot and was delicious,lots of natural sugar in the dates and not overly sweet like some of the date squares I’ve had at other places. The coffee was tasty and brewed just for us,what a treat...I highly recommend that those who visit the airport drop in and have a taste...support local business!“
“Support small local businesses, especially when they cook up some delicious meals! Fish & chips on Fridays & Bifana with egg any day of the week has been one of my go to spots while renovating my house walking distance from Esplanada :)“
“Been following Bee'z Smootheez forever. I'm grateful to have finally met the inspiring man behind this amazing company. The products are so delicious! And so incredibly healthy! Thank you for the beautiful work that you do inspiring others to live healthy lives. Namaste.“
“I ordered from Uber eat and food was great I usually do not write reviews but couldn’t help myself the designs on the to go stuff and coffee cup was so cool and awesome and so thought out. I haven’t seen anything like this before and love it.“

“this place is always a stop whenever im in hamilton, its not often i find a place that makes an iced matcha latte the way i like it but mulberry has always killed it every time-- not to mention their lemon loafs are to die for! ive started recommending this place to everyone who has not visited before ;)“
“It's a nice cafe with good ambience. What kills the vibe for me is that they give you everything in takeout containers.If you are there for takeout, it's cool. Coffee and toasts are really good. If you are going for nice cafe time, be prepared to have food in a box.Vegetarian options: Chickpea toast is really good.“
“Delighted to have visited this place for lunch. Enjoyed apple cider and lobster salad on a bun. Sorry not exactly sure what it's called but definitely main ingredient was lobster and first time ordering this sandwich.That's what happens when you're hungry and the lunch was really good that you'd forget it's name. ? Place was very busy at lunch. Staff were highly attentive with each customers orders in a timely fashion. While dined in I saw their catering menu and seems like well worth a try especially that holidays is fast approaching. Definitely one of my go to places for lunch when within the area.“
“10/10! Ordered the açai bowl on uber eats. delivery was very quick, portion was perfect, and it was packaged safely. Smoothie base was the perfect consistency, fresh toppings and great flavour. This item travelled very well and i would definitely re order. Price was fair for the “
“Truly the best coffee I've tasted in Hamilton. Ordered the Bombon and my partner had the cappuccino. The server Luis was attentive, exceptionally kind and warm and the pastries (flakey, berry goodness) were served fresh from the oven. Will be returning!“
“Amazing food, the BEST hot chocolate, amazing staff, safe and at home feeling when dining here or just stopping for a quick coffee or tea! Been coming here since i was a little girl and the owners are like family! Proud to be keeping the tradition with my little family now. Our go to spot! 1000/10“
“Lunch today was awesome! I had a seriously large Chicken Parmesan sandwich from a pretty new place in Waterdown called Garcia's Sandwich Shop (Dundas & Hamilton St. N.)Everything from the fresh bun, large stack of breaded chicken, a generous amount of cheese and marinara dipping sauce was perfect. They make a really good latte and homemade baked goods too! ?“
