It's a very unique partnership business model between the cafe and bakery and both are wonderful and have super friendly staff.

Cork & Bean Oshawa chose to call the police on a peaceful, paying customer for wearing pro-Israel…read moresymbols and having a calm conversation. Let that sink in. My friend -- a Christian, not even Jewish -- was meeting with a pastor for coffee. He was wearing an IDF jacket and a Star of David necklace while discussing a recent trip to Israel. No shouting. No confrontation. No disruption. Just coffee and conversation. An employee called Durham Regional Police. Officers showed up and told him his conversation was "offensive." When asked what was said that violated policy, no one could answer. No rule cited. No clear complaint identified. Just vague discomfort -- and removal. So what exactly triggered this escalation? Not behavior. Not threats. Not harassment. Symbols. And Israel. Calling the police on someone because others don't like what he's wearing or the country he's discussing is cowardly and discriminatory. Businesses don't get to selectively silence viewpoints they don't agree with. And weaponizing law enforcement to remove someone over perceived "offense" is an outrageous abuse of discretion. If Cork & Bean believes visible support for Israel warrants police involvement, they should say that publicly. If they don't, then they owe an immediate explanation and apology. Until management addresses this directly and transparently, this establishment does not deserve community support. Do better.

In late July, my best friend and I met up for some shopping and dinner in Oshawa. We also wanted to…read moreexchange birthday gifts. The place where we had dinner had tiny tables. We decided to find a cafe and casually open our presents there. We both yanked out Google Maps on our phones. She had mentioned that she had been to a Cork & Bean in Peterborough and and liked it. I trusted her judgment and said yes. I indicated that we needed to go up and hang a left. She felt that it was the other way around -- down and hang a right. When it comes to directions, she has the better track record since we've known each other. However, she realized that she had read the map wrong and I was correct. It felt like a small triumph, but I'm not the type to rub it in. I'm not horrible at directions. She is better at it. We walked over to this cafe. It may have taken three minutes. We had to wait for the light to change, so we could have done it in two minutes. This cafe had all the windows and doors wide open. We walked in and found a table to plop our stuff down. We then headed over to the counter to check out what we'd like to drink. My friend ordered an iced coffee with oat beverage. We both liked that there were dairy alternatives. She's vegan. I'd prefer to go lactose-free. I saw a sign that said that there were seasonal flavours. I asked the helpful man at the counter if it applied to iced coffee. Yes, it did. He could make any drink seasonal. Nice! I got a large iced peppermint latte with oat beverage. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and tipped. All was great. My friend got her drink first. Moments later, mine was ready. I thanked the man and headed back to our table to join my friend. There was live music at this cafe. We were here on a Saturday evening. Jordins ID (no apostrophe to indicate possession, which seemed odd) was playing. She was great. It was nice to have her in the background as we chatted. My drink was awesome. It was cold. I liked the peppermint with the coffee. It worked out nicely. A customer had brought his dog in. This cafe is obviously pet-friendly. It was nice seeing other customers ask if they could pet the dog. The owner was nice and said yes. The dog seemed to enjoy the affection and attention. We had a nice time chatting a bunch more and opening our presents. It was the perfect place for what we wanted to do. The menu also has beer, cocktails, and more. I saw a bunch of desserts in the display case. Since we had already had dessert with our dinner, we skipped getting any food. This cafe is in downtown Oshawa. It's free street parking on weekends. I enjoyed hanging out at this cafe. It's a nice place to grab a drink and chat, while taking in some local, live music. It was perfect. (341)

I've heard a lot of positives about Tim Horton's, so when in Canada, I decided to check it out…read more I walked in and was warmly greeted with a hello by the cashier. Quickly after that, I decided to order two donuts. A chocolate mint and a vanilla dip with sprinkles. My biggest concern was with paying for the donuts. They were pretty inexpensive at $2, but when I asked if they preferred USD or Canadian dollars the cashier started talking down to me. I thought it was a bit rude. Eventually, I ate my two donuts. They were not bad, but I would not refer to them as great. The mint chocolate donut tasted a bit bland while the vanilla dip was covered in sprinkles resulting in it tasting hard. Another one of my concerns here was the mess. The donut display was a bit disorganized and one of the tables were covered in crumbs. This specific Tim Horton's location is connected to a Wendy's and also has a drive through. However, it had a long line. Altogether, I was a bit disappointed with Tim Horton's especially compared to what I have heard.

And then you can't help but notice maybe every 500-feet there's a Tim Horton's. 'Ubiquitous' isn't even a good enough word for just how many you'll pass. It might not even be possible to venture into Canada and not hit one at some point. This specific location was absolutely bananas - it was pretty small (attached at the hip with a Wendy's) - and I don't think I ever saw so many workers crammed into such a small space and all of them were working their tails off. Friendly service, good coffee, but their version of Dunkin's munchkins were too sweet for me. (But at ten for a Canadian dollar - how could you go wrong?!)

Only place I know in Ontario that serves rotating flavours of Dole whip and 5-10 unique flavours of…read moreice cream. We went on a Saturday evening on an off season weekend as it was the only place in the area with dairy free soft serve. For non-dairy, it's incredible! It's the closest all of us have seen to soft serve. The regular ice cream flavours are also unique (I was there for the dole whip but saw apple pie, cinnamon bun and a few others). Portions are large, a kiddie cup/cone size was sufficient for most of us and price point was extremely reasonable. Not a lot of room inside but there's a nice sitting area on the patio that allows you to relax with your dole whip as well as a game for the kids. Only concern is that it's really close to the parking lot so we had to keep a very close eye on kids who might dart into traffic. However, I would definitely say this is a must try for anyone looking for an instagrammable picture or a fun place to visit on a hot day!

My food had a small black hair in the chips and a long strand of black hair in the drink, I am blonde. The food has made both me and my boyfriend feel unwell. We were told when coming in that there was D&D in a few hours so it would get crowded. Instead, we were told to leave. If you are charging someone this much, you should kick them out and give either a discount or reserve the tables ahead of time. The rating could be higher because my boyfriend and I made it fun for ourselves but the overall cafe experience was disappointing.
