Reviews of Chit Chat Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Sally Cameron

This is such a sweet little cafe. The food is delicious, the service is wonderful, and the general atmosphere / decor is really warm and welcoming. I can see that there are several locals who visit this cafe and that it is a kind of neighborhoud hub. The Chit Chat Cafe is just a special place. I am looking forward to going back.

This is an ideal place to have a very tasty meal or snack , to meet and chat with friends or for small business meetings. Very comfortable, warm owner and staff and unique service for many years.

As far as small neighborhood malls go this one is pretty good :) It has a bit of everything. A service Canada outlet, The Canadian Hearing Society, Marlin Travel Agency, A Food Basics with pharmacy, Play it again sports and a Body Nutrition with yummy shakes, Dollarama and dollar store. The Ardene's warehouse outlet is awesome. Haki's Fashion sells shoes, clothes, and decorative items at a fair price, an Ink Well refill place that offers fax service. I had my Children's Birthday Party at the Putt n Blast. It was great :) At the time they were in the middle of expanding so it should be bigger and better by now :) The staff at Marrello Hairstylists are awesome. They did an amazing job on my daughters hair and are very personable. If you want something a bit more upscale there is also Avanta Salon and Spa. There is also the Beauty Academy of Kingston whom, at least once a year, holds a charity event in the mall. I personally had my hair done at the event and was pleasantly surprised by the talent :) I have always found the staff at The Hock Shop to be fair, informative and helpful. It is a smaller store but you'd be surprised by the variety of items they sell. It's a hit and miss with LW (Liquidation World) sometimes. They have many items for fair prices and sometimes it's reg retail price. The furniture there is nice, yet some is overpriced, imo. The mattress prices are very competitive though. The Value Village is one of the larger ones that i have been to. The staff is nice and helpful and the store is neat and organized. The Chit Chat Cafe is great. Being the only store within the mall that sells food and beverage they are fast and the staff is great. You also have a choice of Harvey's, Sakura Japanese restaurant and a Swiss Chalet outside of the mall. I have only been to Harveys and the food and service was great. Now I saved the best for last FACTORY DIRECT is an awesome store. They sell everything from bubble gum to iphones and everything in-between. The staff is polite and helpful, the store is neat and organized and the prices are great. This mall is definitely a diamond in the ruff :)

Extremely nice staff! The coffee was great and the baked goods quite tasty. The staff were able to tell me what was in the baked goods and even quantity (asked as a diabetic about sugars/carbs). I'm not local, but I will definitely be back. Keep up the great service and tasty food.

Great service

Marc Hollett

Parked myself here today for some remote work. What a gem of a place! All day breakfast (delicious), great coffee (refills when part of a combo/meal!), reasonable prices, and an amazing, hospitable, hilarious owner! What a great little spot. Only downside is that it's in the Frontenac Mall and not closer to me. :) Otherwise I'd be here all the time. Keep doing what you're doing; it's working and is harder and harder to come by these days!

Elizabeth Reger

Stop off at the mall on our way to Toronto one morning and discovered the Chit Chat Cafe. Owner is a fantastic and very personal woman. She made it clear that if we could think of it...and she had the ingredients...she would make it for you. The food quality was outstanding,the service was excellent and my only regret is that I dont live in town. If this place was on a busy street corner with pedestrian traffic you wouldn't be able to get a seat. Make the trip out. You'll be happy you did and supported a local business as well.

Sanjay In Kingston

Very friendly!

Aaron Price

Mandarin is a nice addition but expensive to eat there. Needs more businesses inside to keep the mall feel.

Kayla Greenwood

I have been here a bunch of times, and the owners are amazing people who cook awesome food... and those baked goods? O. M. G. The woman running Chit Chat is adorable and funny, so welcoming and always has her best service face on! But this place is ruined by one staff member who I always have an issue with - service, food, and attitude... and I've had so many run ins now that I am writing a new review OF THIS STAFF MEMBER. The blonde hostess. This visit was as miserable as always and was stumbling around on a limp. I approached and she limped away. I waited and dinged the bell three times, she came back. She sighed and gave me that "I'm sick of my life, I hate working here, you're not welcome" sideways glare. Totally different atmosphere than any other staff. I ordered two grilled cheese (SERIOUSLY, a top item here!) and a soup. I hadn't finished order when she walked away, but she came back. I paid, and she left to the back. A couple minutes later she shoved a grilled cheese on the counter that was black and burnt, then said "have a good day." I was stunned, so was my friend whom I'd brought... unfortunately she will never be returning even though I promised this service is only this girl's doing. I asked about the other sandwich and the soup and she rolled her eyes, limped over and said "Well I only heard grilled cheese". We left, I wasn't having another one of these experiences with her... like I said, not my first. So, we sit down to split a grilled cheese and she starts cleaning around and staring us down. I became so paranoid by her stares and dirty looks that I didn't eat my burnt sandwich... worried she may have spat or something.

Arlene Fritz

Love to take family for homemade food,,, rude waitress sadly,,, owning couple very pleasant and make wonderful tea biscuits or scone!!!!!! Love the tea flavors very much

Austin

Generous portions and incredibly kind and energetic staff. The only complaint I could even try to muster is the use of synthetic bacon bits in their salad.

Toria Crouse

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a few years and are in love with the place. Good food, good prices and amazing staff. Being from a small town we loved the small town community feel of this cafe. Claudine and her staff have always treated us like we're old friends and it makes our experience all that much more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place over any other place in town. Why go with overpriced fast food when you can have affordable good homemade food. 5/5 stars 100/10.

LuAstrid Trefzger

Enjoyable spot with tasty treats, ice cream, and a great selection of coffees and teas always available. All-day breakfast is something I'm looking forward to trying next!

Shaun Tryan

Expensive very expensive

Stephanie Aubertin

The best soup anywhere plus the best tea biscuits, desserts, and coffee. The food is all made on the premises from scratch and the prices are more than reasonable. The owners are lovely. A great place to meet up with a friend for a visit.

Victor Clarke

A cute family owned café with good coffee & baked goods. Breakfast is the best deal in Kingston: omelette, toast, pb& jam, coffee $20.00 for 2 people. Friendly owner, very helpful.

Jonathon Bovington

Good spot to have a chit and then have a caffe

Luci Johnson

Great service and very accommodating to my dietary needs. Fast service and very clean

Kaede Takami

When a colleague needed a drive to ServiceCanada, I took the opportunity to drop into Chit Chat Cafe. Claudine, who runs the cafe with her husband, greeted me with such welcoming friendliness that the warmth of the encounter has stayed with me weeks afterwards. The memory is made all the more special given the challenging year it's been. Oh, and their peanut butter marshmallow squares are sublime!

Rika Gravelle

Food is great. Staff friendly always
