Logan Malcolm

Salem Kadu

Beautiful set up. Warm people. Free games. And spectacular hot chocolate!

David Flack

This is a wonderful gem in St. Catharines with great coffee, unique charm and friendly service. I remember hearing Michelle Bellerose play her songs here some years ago. It's a great central location as well. St. Catharines has lost some of its best cafe's such as The Cool Moose, Coffee Culture and Strega. So let's hope this one survives.

Jason Blackthorn

Fantastic local coffee joint. Great aesthetic.

Elaine Anderson

One of the best coffee drinks I've ever had can be found here - the Vietnamese. The milkshakes, hot chocolate, brewed teas and iced drinks are awesome. The menu isn't large but the food is great and very reasonable in cost. Now, they bring in their own coffee beans for sale and they support their coffee growers.

Amazing

My husband and I had our first date here! What a perfect place with a fantastic memory! I cannot wait to return with our son. Fantastic food and drink here! Many different delicious options for your dietary restrictions.

Kelso Hopman

Nice one:)

Andrew Franklin

Tried the Strawberry Lemonade and the Chocolate Peanut butter milkshake today. The proprietor was incredibly kind and clearly passionate about his offerings which showed in the product. Everything was delicious and refreshing. The perfect place to go for a quick drink or a prolonged chat.

The owner's name is Rob and he's such a friendly guy to talk to! Their Iced Coffee is sooooo delicious! OMG! I take my coffee black, which only means that I took my Iced Coffee black and I was so impressed with the flavour that it had! I'm so happy to have found this gem of a coffee store for a little pick me up and the selection that he had was just amazing. Go check this place out and check out his work of art that is the pour over machines that's he's made!! They're super cute and match the esthetic of the store. I'll be sure to grab some beans for whenever I come back to St. Catharines! That's how good his coffee is!

Mohawkma Gandhi

Great cozy, homely environment for a hot beverage with friends. There is also an area in the back for a group to sit down and have discussion.

Sonia Faruqi

Lovely place with a cozy atmosphere and friendly and down to earth owner, Rob. Great coffee and food selection. Vegan foods as well. Highly recommend it!

KarlsburgReview

Always a nice place to be. Calm, friendly service with a empathetic owner. Interesting menu with great milkshakes and hot chocolate made with real melted chocolate. Kind of a hipster place which is fine. Its a quiet cafe great for reading. Often has pop up shops on the weekends.

Dinah Wray

Vietnameses coffee is amazing!!

Brooklyn Hamelin

AMAZING vegan milkshakes. I literally get one everyday. Rob is super friendly and its a welcoming atmosphere.

Cicely Sparks

I received a mocha made with dark chocolate. It was very good. I wasn't aware they were curbside only but was served anyway. I will wait to go back when in person service is offered. Main reason is because I'm new to the area and it was my first time there and I like to look at full menus to see what I would like to try.

Deryk

Old fashion shake was amazing, wife couldn't get enough of the coffee. Great atmosphere.

Chelsea O'Reilly

Friendly staff, bottomless cups of coffee, quiet atmosphere. Love this place!

Stephen Franks

Nice quiet place, good for conversation.

Came all the way from Beamsville for this place. Well worth the trip. Top five cappuccinos I've ever had.

Abu K

Amazing coffee never have better coffee in my life go if you want to clear your head and feel at home

Steve K-L

Love the atmosphere, the food and the staff. Very reasonable prices and I really like how they only accept cash, makes you feel as if you've been gone back in time to a more golden era.

S K

Daniel “DankDruid” Fenning

Cute little coffee/book nook

Bryan W. Ingram

A terrific place with friendly people from a bygone era. All homemade food and drink (for example, when you order a mocha, Rob doesn't use a syrup but he will melt real chocolate). Spend some time and enjoy an eclectic book from the collection or play a board game with friends.

Garrett Aitken

Fantastic coffee with excellent customer service. Will work deviating from your normal route for the extra quality.

SylvanwoodStudio

I love the atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. There is a lounge area with couches and shelves full of books. The owner is happy to let you borrow a book if you find something that interests you. Good pizza and salad. Reasonable prices.

Rob is a lovely man, and puts a degree of care and attention not just to your coffee but to your overall experience which is not found in today's coffee chains. I love coming here and always feeling so welcome and at home.

HiOnE HiOne

Best Coffee in st. Catharines

patricia saunders

Great coffee beans

Basher Ramram

This place has The Best Hot Chocolate and Milkshakes in town. They melt down real chocolate to use in their hot chocolate and chocolate milkshakes and it makes it that much better. The atmosphere is really calm and quiet so it's the perfect place to relax or study and the customer service is great. The only draw back is that the prices are a little high but that's understandable because the food quality is just as high. Overall a great experience should be expected.

Lauren Garbutt

Rob is the best! Nice quiet atmosphere and great coffee. A downtown staple!

Arline Fermin

A chill and cozy café with a great owner/server. The community feel in this café is marvelous. Offers vegan options so a big plus!

Hassan Cheema

Great drinks and a delicate, quiet atmosphere. One of my favourites.

nick s

Great place... low key relaxing place. Service is excellent. Coffees teas and treat well done

Terri-Ann Lay

Great place!

P Kaur

For $5, we ordered a double pot of tea and between the two of us, it lasted for over an hour. And really nice service. It's a quaint coffee shop and we got tea served in old fashioned tea cups. Just loved it.

Ge Song

Great coffee, and so is the owner. Let him brighten your day with a small chat.

Jordann Harrison

Wonderful cafe with a very charming and sweet owner. If you like small, quiet places to study, read or draw it's awesome, would reccomend

Ethan Ferguson

Great place to get a pot of tea and a cookie. Have yet to try other food item, other than the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie which is very good.

Catharine Rowland

No decaffeinated coffee and my companion couldn't have caffeine. Very disappointing.

Cole Vandenberg

Unique spot. Manager is friendly and always happy to talk or help with anything. You don't get a community feeling like this anywhere else anymore. Cash only but the prices are great.

Flora Yu

Hospitable owner and good coffee at a reasonable price!

Michael Hawkins

The atmosphere here is great. I dropped in for an Earl Grey tea while waiting for the Santa Claus Parade to start and it was awesome. They have a good selection of board games to play as well while you enjoy you coffee/tea or whatever you are inclined to have. I would highly recommend going here if you like good coffee and excellent staff.

Adrian Neufeld

My experience was so perfect. If I were to venture into heaven, this place would be there.

Julie Karner

Fine Grind is an oasis. Great atmosphere, great service, and an ample supply of great books, graphic novels, and comic books to read while you enjoy a coffee, tea, or vegan milkshake plus a delicious plate of nachos and a homemade cookie or Skor square.

Russ Spiritdream

Probably the best hot chocolate in the city. Cookies are fantastic as well

Carl Rotebrink

In addition to all the good things everyone else has said, I'd like to note the excellent choice of music.

Adash Badash

Randomly stopped by here while walking down the street. Excellent coffee.

Cari Drolet

I love going to this cafe! The guy who owns it is so nice, and all the staff I have met have been great. The coffee is good (and strong!) and the other specialty drinks do not disappoint (the chai latte is my favourite). The food is also good. I wouldn't go there for a meal, but it's great for a light snack.

David Oh

Adorable shop with really good drinks. The store owner is very pleasant. Atmosphere is perfect for studying or a first date!

DD1986

Awesome local coffee and boardgame cafe. The owner was super friendly and has excellent iced coffee and vegan milkshakes. The cafe also sell Fairtrade coffee with profits that are shared with the local farmers in Nicaragua. A must visit if you are in downtown St. Catherines!
