CAROLL

Great ambiance and authentic for a little cute neighborhood coffee place. Fresh and yummy! Not like TH or SBucks where it’s ‘fresh/frozen/mass production/bland snacks! Local Jo has great cappuccinos & sandwiches. Nice staff too. Easy to park nearby. If I’m downtown (rarely) I’d rather stop here on my way home ???? for my ‘coffee for the road’ than anywhere else. Check them out. ;)

Bethany MacIsaac

Lauriane veyrent

great food great coffee shop ! a bit hard to find some seats when packed because it's small

G Mac

Great local neighborhood coffee shop, market and bakery. The coffee is great.. treats and bread are baked on premise and very tasty. Sandwiches are huge - a half usually does it!

Jessica Shen

great scones!

Kitty K.

I am not a frequent coffee drinker but I love their coffee! It tastes smooth and doesn't leave bad aftertaste at all! The bake goods are awesome too!

Andi W

Stellar sandwiches!!

Pierre Guynot de Boismenu

Cozy and friendly. A great place to have a snack and drink their excellent coffee. They also serve meals. I've seen them offering produce from local farmers but not every day. Uf you have kids they are welcome here. You'll find a corner of the building dedicated to them. Toys, books, blackboard and chalks. Places like this deserves our full support.

Rob G

Just what you'd hope for from a small, local café. Really friendly, clean, and bright - lots of daylight!

Raymond Adekayode

Great relaxing coffee cafe

Leanne Matheson

Love the menu! Great coffee, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.

Emily Rae

Was recommended to try their take and bake tea biscuits and they exceeded expectations. Maybe the best tea biscuits I have ever had. Tall and buttery. Delicious.

Barbara White

I love Local Jo Cafe.

Miranda Ashmead

Great place. Chill vibe, great for families to. Try the rocky road bar, you won't regret it.

Jacqueline Lundrigan

Only wish it was open a little later in the day bc I love going there ????

Jeanette Fougere

The coffee and scones are delightful! I just wish the hours of operation were earlier. Work days too late...weekends at 9am way too late to wait for my morning coffee.

M K

Absolutely delicious food/dessert/drinks, some of which are even plant based! Food is a little more expensive than usual (for example 1 cookie is $2.25) but the food is completely local and the seating is comfy :)

DP Steyn

They usually have a vegan muffin available, which is delicious. I like the fruity walnut one.

Mark Hewitt

Yes, it has a high face value, and the cake tastes good. I bought it for my girlfriend's birthday. I'm very satisfied with it.

Nicholas Beynon

Great treats, drinks and play area for the kids.

Molly Fredeen

Solid coffee shop with great baked goods, sandwiches, and light lunch type foods. They have a small play area for kids, equipped with toys etc. Has an accessibility ramp, veg options, and wonderful friendly staff! Great place to work or chat with friends.

Liam Whitman

Great coffee and treats Edit: unfortunately not accepting cash for the time being. Seems unreasonably precautious at this point in time.

Katie Enman

Good coffee and wide selection of pastries. I liked how they had freezer items for sale as well.

Stephen Haynes

Full disclosure, this is my local coffee shop. I love this place. They have a rotating baked good section and lovely old standards for snacks. The coffee is always excellent, the mugs varied, and the service pleasant. I go there for a reason and it's not just because it is right around the corner.

Ali Ali

Great atmosphere

Breton Umlah

A really chill cage. They make excellent coffee, particularly the dark roast. Seating is pretty good, and the light meals they make are quite good. They always have a delicious soup of the day. Staff are quite friendly.

mrpantz300

It's up my street and pretty good

Rob Lowe

Cute little spot. Nice and quiet.

Ryan Dee

Great local coffee shop with great coffee, lattes, and hot chocolates.

Stephanie Rector

Mocha i had was delicious as was the cookie. very warm and friendly atmosphere, great place for familys with books and toys for the little ones to play with.

Don Kane

Do you just want a great place to grab a coffee and a treat. Small conversation in a corner. Great friendly staff. In a quite neighborhood and parking availability - then check out this Great Coffee Spot.

Noor Hamadi

Cozy cafe that offers some homemade snacks!

Peter Rukavina

Nice neighborhood place, the kind of place we all wish we had up the street.

Mike Whitehouse

Great coffee shop but little selection if you are gluten free.

Brandy McIntosh

Great place to grab a coffee while the kids play

Jared Reid

the price is the only reason i don't give this place 5 stars. the staff are great. the food and drink are always fresh and delicious. I'd love to say its worth every penny but i don't think any drink is worth $4-5 / mug on a regular basis. their free wifi is exceptionally fast.. free to use also. the atmosphere is ideal for kids, students, and adults alike.. i usually see the vegan looking yoga urban hippie types in there where i go.. shocking in a coffee shop eh? and yah they have a few items / groceries you can grab too if you like!

Jeff Brunt

Great coffee, great service.

lenial pinard

Good coffee

Gwen Danson

This is a great spot to meet up with a friend for a cuppa. Great treats - try the rocky road square, you won't be sorry. A good place for a homey feel and a hearty meal.

D. Mark Laing

Nice place: very organic, very local, very homespun -- definitely not a Starbucks, but does have free WiFi. (Would have given them five stars if the chairs were more comfortable.)

Harriet

Delicious shot in the dark, and a great atmosphere! Very positive and interesting place to hang out

Traverse Davies

A small cafe, good food, good coffee

David Foster

Great coffee from Local Jo, but can't speak to anything else.

LaRoux Musseau

Great little place! Friendly staff and great food and drinks.

David Elliott

This cafe is small and welcoming. The coffee, be it drip or espresso, is great. There is an assortment of sweet and savoury fare and one can have a light lunch. What I like most, though, is that there is always conversation and people engaged with each other or with the staff. Although they have wifi, this isn't a place where people veg on their devices.

Karen Shannon

Limited menu, but good fresh food, delicious cookies and good coffee. Friendly staff. Family friendly.

Michael Quill

Good for a chat, coffee and muffin. Great for kids with play area and toys.

Candice Charlton

The staff are so kind and almost always have my drink on the go before I even order it! I wish I didn't try their homemade goods, they're so tasty I am hooked for life!

Mike Thurston

Just had a coffee with a couple of my siblings. Comfy charming place.

J.B. Robertson

Local Jo's is a great neighbourhood coffee shop. Lots of activity and conversation.

Cute and family friendly. They have a toy/book area where kids can play while you drink and eat. The muffins are pretty tasty. They have a pretty good selection of GF foods if you're into that sort of thing.
