K Kealey

Latte and Americano were nice. Yummy gluten free black bean brownie. Cute interior and small patio.

Muhammed Alibashev

We were on the prowl for a morning coffee and stumbled in here. Trust me you won't be disappointed. We also fell victim to yummy treats. Had to walk up and down Baker street twice to burn off the access calories :)

Levi and Victoria Films

friendly staff, lovely environment, and great options. we tried the cold brew and the frappe for our drinks and they were both good. The gluten free brownies were good as well as the lemon bar. We will for sure be recommending this place!

John ward is generally not good. Nothing special about their coffee. Price I feel is a bit more than Oso. So Oso is better. Always pan handlers near or just outside John Wards. No menu for snacks or desserts just small over priced morsels. Also with such a vagrant problem in the town itself they refuse to help the poor coming in by charging for day olds!

Yaron Shaool

My favourite cafe in Nelson

Steven Lyall

Nice central location for coffee with a good patio. There's better coffee to be had for the price, though. Also has a minimum purchase if you're paying with card, which isn't particularly attractive these days.

This is mainly just a review for the coffee. 4/5 Great little gem. These guys do espresso coffee right! Probably the best cafe latte I've ever had in Canada. I can't speak for the food only had an honey oat bar which was delicious but never tried anything off the cooked menu. If I had more time I'd probably spend the whole afternoon sapping their free wi-fi and sampling special delights

Tracy W

Very nicely made Americano

Doug Heckman

Tasty coffee and friendly baristas. Nice and mellow vibe.

Nicholas Cameron

With MANY coffee options to choose from, John Ward is still at the top of my list here in Nelson for Coffee. First, the location is ideal right in the heart of Baker Street and the drinks are always delicious! You can enjoy your treat to stay or get it to go! Lots of space to come in with friends!

Tony Stagner

Nice little coffeehouse

Dave Bushell

Cozy little coffee house

Eric Harris

Great service, frappe and food was good. Bit pricey items about a dollar more than expected.

Lindsay

This was the place a local recommended to us, and we were a bit disappointed. The coffee was pretty average, the staff seemed a little uninterested, or perhaps it was very busy admittedly it was a market day. However, they have a cool like mini thrift store with branded clothing, and their logo is pretty sweet

Maria Schuh

Right smack In the middle of downtown on Baker St. so the location is prime, the coffee is fabulous and the staff are wonderful!

First time visiting Nelson this was a nice place to go sit an relax with a coffee and a treat.

Matthew Carroll

Best latte in town.

Jason Babakaiff

Most convenient and best tasting non-dairy cafe in Nelson. Service is good and atmosphere is comfortable.

Gael Milligan

Yummy lattes and desserts!

Ali Becker

John Ward has incredible ambiance, located right in the heart of downtown Nelson. Great coffee, delicious treats, friendly staff and the best place to watch the world go by in town!

Chris Ball

They make their own chai in house and it is AMAZING. One of the best chai lattes I’ve ever had. Seriously, this could end world hunger and stop climate change.

Mike Robinson

Excellent service and great coffee

Katie Poetsch

Great coffee and very cute interior. All people working there are so nice!

Tracy Hellman

Delicious coffee and treats on Baker Street.

josh brady

Retro feel with great coffee and friendly service

Melissa M

Cozy little place with big windows and eclectic seating, with a great cappuccino.

Sarah Boaz

Great velvety, smooth coffee.

Pascal Schaedeli

Great espresso! My wife really liked her lemon cranberry muffin: light, not overly sweet. Nicely lit and staffed coffee place. Also, the Covid policy is reasonable and effective.

Lexi Wuthrich

You definitely do not want to miss John Ward! They had the best scones and london fogs i've ever had! Can't wait to go back!

Lydia Miller

Best.

Andrew Summers

Large windows, great light, cozy patio onthe side street. Solid coffee using Origins beans, assorted baking (muffins, squares, scones, bars) and simple sandwiches (the capicolla was delicious). Staff is friendly, efficient and bar staff are knowledgeable.

Kathleen Wheeler

Expensive, but good coffee and atmosphere

Sasha Vedybida

Enjoy your espresso, thanks

Ryan Dury

Lovely service and great coffee. Full of flavour. Doubles by default. Great place to sit and people watch :)

Marisei Levert

$3 for a drip coffee that tasted insipid. Also instead of a pot of honey from which to sweeten one's drink charged 25 cents for a "honey stick" which takes at least 4 of those to sweeten a coffee so $4 total for a crappy coffee.

Matt Bellamy

Cute little coffee shop, excellent coffee... However the price for drip coffee is excessively high compared to other coffee shops.

Kirk Chantraine

Very tasty coffee and nice service. Well poured espresso drinks!

Julia Pepler

I couldn't recommend more highly. The drinks and treats are high quality and always delicious. The staff are generally very engaging and constantly cleaning the space, making it feel clean, safe and inviting. The only issue is it's quite small and hard to get a table!

Ross Lynem

Great coffee. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff. What else does one need? ????

Wesley Crossman

Good mocha and outdoor seating

Nick Soden

One of the best Americanos you can get.

Barbie Wheaton

Friendly staff, great coffee, food and environment! Thanks for running a great business in our awesome town

Anne Simonen

Great coffee and great environment. I love sitting on the side patio in the sun after a day of spring skiing or in the shade on a hot summer day. Also have to give a shout-out to their cinnamon buns.

Judy Mulloy

Perfect grilled cheese with 2 kinds of cheeses the best hot chocolates made with melted chocolate.

Vanassa Daranikone

Always so nice here and the coffee is consistently good.

This used to be my 'go to' espresso stop in Nelson. Their coffee and service are really excellent. That's why I was so disappointed when I went in for coffee last week. They have added a 'Kidaccino' (or something) to their menu. The child at the table next to us was loud, whiny, and kept playing with their little car toy on the table. To make things worse, a couple of parents came in with their large strollers (way too common in Nelson) and the place became unbearable. ...oh well, it was good while it lasted, but it's no longer a place for a relaxed cup.

Eric Crawford

Great atmosphere

Best Lattes In Town

Rafael Ferrero

Seriously the best coffee shop in Nelson. I came here every day for a week straight. The friendliest staff and just good vibes all around. This is your stop for Joe if you're staying in or around the city.

G.R. Crosby

Totally ignored while the GF & I were ordering. I had to make a second order, asked for a brownie which apparently was ignored as well. Then my cappuccino was tepid. Glad I am only visiting.

Tali Munro

Good place for a coffee friendly staff

Ren Macintosh

Horribly expensive

Tyson

Coffee is fresh roasted and professionally crafted. We would have hoped they had more in the way of food for a quick light breakfast. Very limited but very tasty selection of snacks.

Christoph Martens

Often quite good. Lately not as consistent with quality foam. When I gave feedback my barrista offered a replacement and a free coffee on my next visit. I'll keep coming and hope the training improves.

Mandi Mccluskey

Best coffee we have found in BC! They even make a long black!

Justine Yiu

Friendly staff. Lovely patio that fits two comfortably. Area is good for people watching. Ordered two Cortados, one with milk and the other with oat milk. Definitely recommend the oat milk. It has a lovely sweetness that goes so well with the espresso.

Chris Be

Great flavor, consistency and presentation.

Paneless Window Cleaning

Great coffee and desserts

Gerry Peters
