Lovely place with great coffee and food. I've been going since I was in high school and have nothing but positive experiences. Avoid going during high school lunch times if you're looking to avoid a crowd.
Best place in Brantford by far! Not a chain, friendly stuff, fresh and quality food. That's how it should be always. Thanks for being here!
Lovely little café located in an older home - careful! If you blink, you'll miss it and have to turn around. On street and limited parking beside & behind the building. WiFi is free, but you'll have to ask for the password. No dog(s) in residence ???? The staff are pleasant, willing to explain the difference between various teas, make recommendations regarding food, and they smile a lot! Prices aren't cheap (this isn't a Tim's!), but not expensive either. Good selection of food and desserts, and an impressive selection of tea (the peach rose is nice, but the rose is only a hint).
Good food for snacks and lunch. Love that they have soy for coffee and espresso drinks!
Good eats at okay prices. Nice atmosphere.
I was impressed by their covid protocol. cute spot for a date
Great coffee local craft beer gluten free options
Nice place. Latte was not great. Grilled cheese sandwich was cold.
Cozy, cute. Good homemade food.
Lovely teas and great salads and sandwiches
Comfortable atmosphere. Employees were friendly. Beverages and baked goods were great. I'll definitely have to return again, especially once the board game library they have is available for use (not in use when I went, due to covid). So many board games!
The coffee is always good here.
Cool cafe in Brantford that makes the perfect study spot! They have outlets, WiFi and an ambient atmosphere. They do also have board games BUT they cost like $5 per person to play so that was kind of a bummer. The salmon bagel and london fog were delicious and the strawberry fruit square was a great pair with the latte. Food was reasonably priced for a cafe like this and it has plenty of seating. Would come again to get some schoolwork done :)
The place is nicely decorated and cozy. I don't find the coffee to be anything special but it's still good. Got a fancy mocha once and it tasted like water. Always a very long wait if you order a breakfast sandwich or something. Sometimes you're waiting 15 minutes for a sandwich that doesn't even have mayo on it!! But it's a nice place to sit for a relaxing coffee in a artsy little place.
Awesome wraps soups salads abd dessert
One of the few hip coffee joints in Brantford. Spacious and friendly, in a cool residential area. They have pretty much everything you would expect from an independent coffee house.
The quality of the food here is excellent! We always go whenever my mother-in-law visits, she insists on it, and is always happy with their coffee (or macchiato or whatever it is she gets). :) Also, they did an excellent job Sharpening our Kitchen Knives! Another service they offer. Turn around was very quick, faster than they quoted (I think it ended up being 1 day). They work great now. :)
Best coffee in town. I am in love with their medium roast! The breakfast burritos are delicious. And I haven't been disappointed yet with any of their frozen/cold coffees and teas I've tried. I'm glad I moved closer and get to go there as often as I do. I just wish they were open earlier on mornings I have to be out the door by 630! Support local business and grab yourself a delicious cup of coffee!
Walked out within the first two minutes. Service staff needs some major improvement.
Great atmosphere, food and ambiance. Having an outdoor patio is great during the summer and it's a great space to hold small to medium size meetings with community groups, prospects, co-workers and clients.
It's good to see a small business making their own brand. Blue Dog has been a staple in Brantford.
This is a cute spot. I really like the coffee, menu items, and the decor. There is a board game wall and the artistic atmosphere is always changing with different paintings from (local?) artists. Overall, its cozy... I usually come in on Monday's and I have to say that the Monday staff are not very welcoming. They barely acknowledge when you come to the counter and seem annoyed that they have to make you coffee! I hate to complain because I too work in customer service, but some advice? A smile goes a looong way!!! ????????
Great coffee, nice atmosphere
Craig, Marie and the staff at the Blue Dog in Brantford have catered meetings for me on numerous occasions. Each and every time, the food is outstanding and everyone raves about the quality, service and selection of food choices. They have several alternative options to satisfy many dietary restrictions. I highly recommend using them for your next event and especially the ginger spice cookies!
I had a london fog latte and it was around $2.50 in a really large to-go cup!! It was amazing, and the service was equally great!
Nice little spot in the summer to sit on the deck and enjoy lunch as traffic passes by :) Good food, healthy options, and you’ll leave happy :)
Awesome coffee and baked goods!!!
The Blue Dog continue to serve excellent foods within safety guidelines for Covid.... Thanks Guys! I've never been disappointed, Their service and food is excellent! Thanks Blue Dog staff you do a great job
Great place to get coffee in Brantford.
I love this place
Great food , very friendly staff
They make you pay a game fee to play the board games that they have which is crazy. They are board games not an arcade. They should be free
Whenever I come to Brantford I try to make it a point to visit the Blue Dog. This time, during the summer months, it wasn't as enjoyable as they have no AC. At least invest in fans to circulate the air.
We were visiting from Out of town and like others we have the same complaint regarding a game fee - first there is no posting of a fee nor any indication on the tables, or amount, otherwise we would have passed. Second, it has left us with a poor impression of your cafe given that we actually have been to cafes with similar game or card game type offerings in NYC, Chicago and even Toronto. To the owner of Blue Dog; you are incorrect most cafes that offer board games do not charge a fee they normally have a food minimum or time limits so folks don’t sit there all day. Also, not sure what clientele you have but most folks would be respectful not to damage or destroy. Might want to consider a rethink as it not worth losing business or damaging your brand when your main business is coffee. I must confess it is a bit odd when you think we spent over 50 dollars in your place and stayed 35 minutes and the girl behind us bought a coffee and used your internet for over two hours(we overheard her say she was there since noon). For others reading this post - food was good and so was our coffee - no complaints - the one star is for how staff made a family of four feel - the idea is to want to return not write long reviews.
My favourite local coffee shop
I love this place for meeting with Sales Reps and other Industry professionals who are from out of town. It gets me out of the office and we enjoy coffee or tea and a nice lunch. I have been going here for years and the food is good (though I think some food items are not made by Blue Dog like the quiche) and the tea is great loose leaf tea. I also purchase bags of beans to take home and the coffee is always tasty. It is a nice quaint location with limited seating and limited parking. There is always street parking if the back lot and side parking area is full. A great spot for a quick lunch meeting.
Grwat cup of coffee..
Enjoyed the casual laidback ambiance.
when i walked in i almost walked right back out because it smelled worse than a garbage dump inside. i have no clue what could have been causing the smell but it was so bad i had to hold my breath. thank goodness for masks. the scone i had was very small and not baked well at all. coffee was so so. staff was nice, just wish the quality of the food/drink was better. i sat outside and the patio was clean with lots of spots to sit.
Great coffee.
I was with my surity not illegal for me to be out hahah idk I bought a coke I can do that anywhere ... the atmosphere seemed really nice and the staff were great if that helps
Amazing staff and great coffee.
Thanks Ryan for a nice chat and a good cup of Sumatran! Very reasonable prices, quaint little spot and outside patio. Will be back soon!
Very interesting place. Nice and cosy.
On my way home I let someone know about your Store Restaurant an told them you have good Coffee.
Very quaint and quiet spot. Good mix of music. Food is good but nothing to scream home about. The coffee is good though!
(Translated) Best Choice Tuna Sandwich & Thai Chiken Wrap! The delicious Thai chicken wrap and tuna sandwich were art. Really !! The coffee was also delicious!! Wow, why aren't there any places like this near my house? I stopped by on my way to Paris and picked up. (Original) Best Choice Tuna Sandwich & Thai Chiken Wrap ! 정말 맛있는 타이치킨랩하고 참치샌드위치는 예술이었습니다. 정말 !! 커피도 맛있었어요!! 와 이런 곳은 왜 집 근처에는 없는 걸까요? 파리 가는 길에 들러서 픽업 해갔습니다.
Over priced with inconsistent coffee. The blonde women at the front desk is consistently unresponsive. No smiles, no thank you, overall carries an unwelcoming demeanor.
Love this place. Great atmosphere and service
Quiche was undercooked. Salad was stale and salad drag was bitter and vinegry
Great option for business lunches (catering is available). Food is tasty and original.
Always love this place but was very disappointed today. As my friend and I were there for lunch and going over some school work, we were kicked out as she was still eating and had half of her wrap left. We spent collectively $35 and were going to spend more as I was going to buy lunch as well. Although the staff politely asked for us to leave, I found it inappropriate for them todo so. They had just had a lunch rush, mainly of high school students but they had all left by the time they told us to leave, and there was only 1 couple in line getting food. Overall very disappointed in the experience today.
Love Blue Dog for meeting friends for coffee !
A real hip place, nice atmosphere, good coffee and can use my laptop between appointments too!
Wonderful food. Fast service. JUST NEEDS MORE PARKING
Great atmosphere, coffee and service
Great coffee, best cookies in town. Take your lunch early.
Loved it ????
Great coffee and really comfortable atmosphere .
Great spot for coffee or lunch...
Good coffee. Felt the food was a bit over priced for what you get. However, it's good quality so I don't mind. Wish the staff was a bit better trained in the products. They seemed a bit lost when I asked about the different coffee beans and just read me what it said on the labels. On a positive note, I'm very happy with their coffee. Not burned-strong like Starbucks and more flavourful than Tim Horton's.
The coffee here is great.
Great food and service is top notch...
Whether visiting with family and friends, or ordering catering for our school events, Blue Dog provides consistently delicious food and beverage service.
Great place.
Spacious indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious food, reasonably priced items.
I live close by to Blue Dog, before making my way to class in the mornings, I make sure to grab my caffeine fix from there. It's actually a really cozy spot to sit and do some reading, the staff are really friendly, overall the atmosphere is pretty relaxing.
Would definitely go back. Delicious coffee, tasty wrap, nice atmosphere, hard working staff, decently priced food, and clean washrooms all made for a great experience today.
Order the quiche and coffee. The coffee was great and the quiche was okay. My friend order the smoked salmon bagel and he said it was great. The atmosphere was great. Looks to be in an older home with high ceilings. Very unique and would recommend!
The atmosphere was good and food great, but staff should explain how to use the tea brewer when presented. The bottom ended up opening and spilling over my purse and book.
The staff are very kind and the food is delicious. The Santa Fe wrap was recommended and it was exactly what I needed as a vegetarian. They sanitize the tables and the bathrooms are very clean
Good food. Okay pricing.
I've been going here with my daughters since it first opened...we love it!!! I just moved away from it but most definitely will be going back!!!
The wait is a little long but I promise its worth it! I had the citrus salad yesterday, made fresh right in front of you. No prepackaged stuff here! The dressing was amazing and the toppings were a perfect fit. Thanks!
Lots of great options, great food, lovely atmosphere.
Great coffee and fresh baked goods. Very relaxing atmosphere inside too.
Great coffee!
Great coffee!
If I could give this restaurant 0 stars then I would. My friends son and his friends were treated disgustingly. One boy was visually impaired and was disrespected because of his visual challenge. In a day with so much hate and negativity you would think a restaurant would be one place these boys can go to and get treated with respect. So disappointing.
Best place for a morning coffee or a hearty wrap for lunch. Friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere.
Love the Chai latte here!
Great coffee, comfortable atmosphere, dairy fre options.
Best cafe in Brantford. Chocolate chip cookies are to die for.
Not much vegan options but the coffee is good
Excellent service, friendly staff, very clean, homey atmosphere, and prices are reasonable.
Super good lunch, with the trip.
Comfortable environment and friendly staff
Great selection and the staff is always friendly. Local art available for purchase too!
Stopped in while out for a walk. Decided to get the smoked salmon bagel. Delicious, not too much cream cheese, some capers and onion and lovely salmon. Will most definitely return to try more menu items
Lovely place with great food and coffee
Nice!
Fun atmosphere, good food, good value, nice place!
Good coffee. Love the hours. Patio is noisy with traffic
We regularly use Blue Dog for catering our Board meetings - great food, great service!!
Great place for coffee and for beans (ground or not) to take home. Good food. Good personnel. Good atmosphere. All of this in both venues; Brantford and Paris.
Love the atmosphere and decor. Could have had faster and friendlier service. The cashier wasn't happy to see me and didn't thank me for my business.
Vareh naacceee. Good food, fancy drinks. Lots of room for meeting. Parking is a little cramped.
Loved the half and half lunch with soup and sandwich/wrap. Have been back many times. Consistently delicious every time.
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food! We had the tuna melt and cauliflower soup. Prices are average, portions sizes are average. There is a variety of take home items including coffee beans. Only issue, not enough seating! Parking lot only has 5 spots at the back of the house, another issue. Will be back! Must visit during non peak time.
Was not an enjoyable cappuccino; poor presentation and flavour. Restaurant was nice and what I expected it to be. I would give this shop another try except the other two people with me had the same impression. I'm forced to go back to Starbucks, but with less of a grimace this time.
Very cute and cozy place to meet for tea/coffee. I love to meet friends, family or colleagues here for tea. The food is great and atmosphere is awesome.
Awesome place
Wonderful Coffee, great selection of food.
Beautiful Strong Bold coffee with the Lemon Orzo Salad made a great breakfast. Could use more salad options for grab&go. Service very friendly!
Cozy coffee and light food options. Lots of outlet's for computers.
A great spot to get some work done in Brantford. Would recommend for students or those working remotely.
Absolutely lovely cafe, the baristas are so lovely and go out of their way to make your experience nice. They make the best mochas. Im so sad that they are closing soon, I truly hope the new owners re hire the staff and keep the cafe.
Grabbed a coffee on my way through town. Seems like great spot, very friendly staff.
disappointing dirty tables not cleared
Nice space. Excellent service
relaxing cafe to study/work. great food options with fresh coffee served. prices are not the best but the service is great and i love the atmosphere! must try this place out if in the area
Great atmosphere, excellent cappuccino, delicious food, wonderful service - highly recommend!
I could tell the best Coffee shop in Brantford. Nice place, good food, delicious tea and coffee. Really cool place. ????????
Great place for lunch! I order for the office at least one a week. Amazing soups and always kind service with a smile.
This Cafe is amazing . I absolutely love the food, the best hot chocolate in all of Brantford ( and I have tried 10 other places hot chocolate). Its the perfect place to go and have lunch with a friend and catch up. They have board games and cozy chairs.. love love love it. I have been going for over 7 years now and look forward to many more
Great coffee & staff very chaming & friendly.
Neat little coffee shop, and one of the very few that have some sense of originality in Brantford. The coffee is good and their food selection is also refreshing.
coffee was ok, nothing i would write home about. smelled heavily of food in there, made me smell like it after a short 10min visit. i think they need to invest in some better ventilation.
The coffee was excellent. We had to sit in the patio because one of us was not carrying their proof of Vax. Patio was very sunny with little shade, and fronts on Brant Ave. Traffic noise makes conversations difficult.
Found this cafe online. Met up with a Girlfriend and we both loved this place! Coffee was perfect. Turkey wrap was good. Lots of space. Very clean. Will return.
Food and Latte Ok - very very slow service
Great food but really expensive
Love this place. Very calm to get work done. Staff is nice and coffee is good. I think the fee to play their games is fair as they have to maintain these games as well. There’s quite a bit of parking some people park too close to the next parking. There’s also street parking. I haven’t tried their food but I’ll have to soon. I enjoy the light music in the background. Would be 5 stars if staff tried to engage in conversation more and better parking (such as including parking spot lines).
Really nice place to grab a relaxing cup of coffee.
Drinks are ok. There was no blue dog though which was a let down
Unfortunately, Blue Dog has taken their quiche off the menu. To bad, it was one of the best items.
Great food, accommodating for providing a meeting room, friendly staff
Hipsters of Brantford Unite! Well maybe I should clarify: tea lovers or indie coffeeshop lovers check out this place. From the outside I did not have high expectations as the place seemed to be a dilapidated house stuck in the residential area of Brantford. Step in, and you will find that the interior is nice and cozy. It seems like a great place to bring some books and do what you need to do or meet up with a group of friends and chat away. What made me like this place is their variety of gourmet tea offerings and the fancy tea dispenser they give you for only $2.20. I cannot comment on their food or wifi as I didn't get any food and I did not bother to ask for their wifi password. They do seem to offer many hot and cold drinks, lunch items and desserts. There is also a meeting room upstairs that they advertise is free to use with the purchase of food and drinks.
Great coffee. Pastries, sandwiches, soups, etc. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff. Would visit again. Comfortable chairs or regular table and chairs. They also cater.
Great Service
Great little spot yummy treats friendly staff could use a few more comfy spots to sit
Needed a space for 14 family to gather mid morning after a family function. Ryan was so accommodating. Reserved an area for us, food and beverages to suit everyone's taste. Love this place.
Good lunch place
Was looking to support local businesses and had heard great things about the blue dogs dark roast coffee. I ordered some of it online aswell as a few games for my family to enjoy during these COVID times. Absolutely incredible coffee and family and I are loving the games. Can't wait for the place to reopen!
Good food
Earthy fresh cafe
Fantastic place to meet up, study or just relax. Friendly staff, good food and so nice and clean.
I discovered Meli's on accident while on my way to an interview. I had literally about 30 minutes to spare and knew I needed to eat quick enough in order to leave and get to my next destination. The staff was super helpful and quick to get breakfast out to me it literally took under 10 minutes.
Cute little coffee and game shop. Take out orders are still happening and the drinks are good. Games are also well priced if you're looking for something new to do
Great coffee and great place, beats the big chain coffee shops hands down!
Amazing food, and service! Outstandingly knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Made me feel like I'd been coming for years. Recommend the candied bacon, Mac and Cheese!
This place is always dirty, customers think nothing of passing chairs over you...food and drink getting dust from them...the coffee is so watered down adding milk turns it white...honestly. Once I ordered a latte, got a hot chocolate and staff...yer read about the blonde haired one on another review...argued that latte was made with chocolate...sure. Probably the most stuck up staff in creation, I have decided to decline friends invites to meet them there. Place is a dump.
First time visit after going to the Brantford market. Very disappointed in the cappuccino, it had way too much milk and almost no coffee taste. I ordered the small and it was a 12 oz cup filled to the top! This is not a cappuccino!
Great atmosphere. Fantastic staff. Snack with coffee or a beer. Food is excellent. A little jewel on Brant Ave.
First time there will definitely be back
great tasting coffee, excellent service !!
Excellent coffee, wonderful food and good lunchtime specials. Very friendly staff quite a good menu including nice desserts although I've never tried them . They have a little gift shop of coffee and tea things and you can get coffee to go in bags to take home and make your own . We go there regularly my best friend and I on Friday every 4 weeks and we have never been disappointed.
Great coffee, great food, great staff.
Amazing experience, very nice baristas and super helpful. It is a great environment to go for a couple of hours to haven lunch or coffee.
Great food and coffee
Had a business meeting today and spent 5 hours here. The coffee and tea selection was varied and had something for everyone. We each had two different hot beverages. Everything was delicious. My friend had the spinach salad with pecans and crazins. I had the cheesy cauliflower soup and Greek salad. Lunch had generous portions and was created fresh to order with some modifications. The atmosphere was quiet enough to work and yet there was a low level of conversation and ambient noise so it was comfortable to speak to each other without having to raise our voices. All of the staff were pleasant and courteous. I will definitely stop back in when i visit Brantford.
Great
Really cute place, foods great and service was good!
Probably one of the best tuna melts I've ever had! We stopped here for a quick to-go meal we could take kayaking and man were we ever so happy we did that! So many options to choose from.The iced coffee was also very good! Definitely recommend!!
Best cafe in Brantford, staff are always friendly, plenty of board games and food is delicious. Beer and cider is a nice touch.
Our office LOVES the Blue Dog! They have the best food, wonderful staff, and great prices. We always use them for our staff luncheons and meetings with our reps. I personally love going on Monday nights for Paint Club! I'm so happy that we have a decent coffee shop in town that is not Tim Horton's! Thank you for the great food and service :)
One of the better spots in Brantford for coffee
Friendly staff.nice selection
Amazing Dark Roast coffee...my new hotspot, for sure. Thanks!! Will be back very soon.
My husband and I have been here many times since they opened...our last visit was last Tuesday and I asked for a slice of tomato and a squirt of mayonnaise on my Breakfast BLT ...I was charged for this request...you can't absorb $0.25 for such a simple request???
They have board games!! The owner found us a great two person game and explained it very well to us.
This café is just a fantastic experience, great food and drink, excellent service and local
Beautiful spot, great ???? cup of coffee ☕-Friendly staff.
Great food, friendly staff. Love this place!
Good coffee. We had a combo of Caesar salad and cheese/ham quiche which was quite good.
Great atmosphere, fast service. My first time ordering food, I had the the Buffalo chicken wrap with caesar salad. Wrap and salad very fresh and delicious. I ordered an an additional small caesar it was so good. Had a iced Caramel mocha with my meal was very good. For dessert had peanut butter brownie cheesecake was amazing.
I don't apprrciate comming here on a nice day, and when me and my daughters are with me we always get a snooty stare down from all girls behind the counter. Very snotty attitudes. The girls are not friendly. The blond short girl with shoulder length hair is the worst. This is the the last I'm comming here I will be wasting has to drive to st. George to the brown dog where the service is always friendly
Very nice place to have a tea! Love it there!
Owner is quite unfriendly, and prices for desserts ate kinda high.
Legit love this wee little gem. I work across the street so I have sampled almost everything. Food and cafe are lovely, staff is always friendly. Be sure to check it out and support local!
Quiet cafe with outdoor seating in nice weather. Friendly staff, nice drinks and great muffins!
Fast and delicious food
Excellent fast service. Staff friendly! Food and prices fantastic!
great coffee...and service...prem
