The cappuccino was pretty good and we came for some ice cream also. Had the creme brûlée and tiramisu. It is not made in house but rather it's from the London Ice Cream Company. So can't really grade the ice cream though there was a good selection of choices. The service was so so nothing special. There were no other customers in the cafe when we arrived. The ambiance was simple and plain but the jazz music that was playing made it a lovely spot to sit & chat with another person or just going there as a solo patron. It's a little on the pricey side and they didn't really need to have 2 people working there today when we visited. (because we were the only ones there) read more

Lakeshore Coffee House - London Ice Cream Company brand picture found on their IG page - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

Visited on a sunday evening and it was very chaotic. The staff were taking orders all over the place from people who just walked in vs those that were waiting. We got 2 lemonades which were just average, more on the sour side. The croissant was good. A little pricey but that's expected given the area we were in. If the staff are better trained, it would help make the ordering process much easier. read more

This coffee spot has a wide variety of different lattes to choose from. I came in during the holiday season and there were plenty of seasonal/Christmas drinks. My drink itself was good but it was not mixed properly so all of the syrup and sweetness was on the bottom and it tasted bitter for the first couple sips. I thought that was a bit odd that I had to stir it myself. Other than that the presentation of the marshmallows on top was a cute touch and the seating area in the cafe is quite nice. read more

Visit from the states. Me and my friends coming back from Niagra Falls and we we just left from eating dinner looking for something sweet a dessert. I walked into this place which is so cute! I immediately saw the red velvet cake and my mouth started watering and I also for a scoop of ice cream which just added to it. It was so delicious I wanted to get another piece. Writing this review two days later my mouth is watering up now lol read more

Very happy to have visited this lovely little coffee house on my way back from the beach! I ordered the double espresso on ice (hot just the right spot), the large iced latte (very creamy) and the gelato. The gelato was silky, flavourful, and made in house! Definitely be back to try more of their coffee! read more

Dropped in to pick up an espresso and a snack. Service was alright and the nothing especially fantastic in the food options so I ended up with a muffin. Alright for Burlington. I'd go back to give it another shot. read more

Lakeshore Coffee House - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

Nice and cozy coffee shop in downtown Burlington. Went there for some breakfast before heading to Hamilton. Ordered a medium chai latte and an avocado and chicken panini. Chai latte was good and the panini was tasty, however it was too small portion. Overall, nice coffee shop to grab a quick bite. read more

Lakeshore Coffee House - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Burlington, Ontario

Great coffee. Outdoor seating. Charming little cove near the waterfront. Will visit again.

I am thinking of not returning due to the owners not being friendly. During these harsh times these owners better be nice or their business could end up closing. Learn to be nice don't take things for granted read more

Great little spot in a prime location on the corner of Brant and Lakeshore Rd. The staff are amazing and so friendly it makes you want to keep coming back. The coffee is sensational; I stayed across the street at the Waterfront Hotel and they had free coffee there, I chose to pay for a cup over here as it was so much better. Nice shaded patio, dog friendly and a must stop. read more

Lovely, quaint little coffee shop. Delicious breakfast sandwiches. A nice little place to grab a coffee and look out over the lake.

Simple egg and bagel sandwich was good. But $13 is ridiculous. I could understand if a waitress and table service was included. What is this industry thinking. Fast food is fast food. read more

From the outside, it looks a bit dingy and I thought it was just a small takeout place, even when you look through the window. Then as you walk in, you'll notice a slightly elevated level with a few couches and tables where you can sit and chill with a friend. I had a Chai Tea latte with almond milk and it was pretty good, but the atmosphere is relaxing and you can just chill with a friend here. A bit of a small business/library/bookstore feel to it. Good to place to relax and cool down. read more

Coffee was quite good. Atmosphere is neutral. Small but cute place. HOWEVER you cannot sell day olds pastries for full price!!! The staff actually microwave pastries before serving. This is what I do at home when I buy day olds for half price...come on. Also the quality of the cinnamon bun I had was meh! Not bad and not good. read more

The location is right by Lakeshore and Spencer Smith, making it one of the most ideal locations for a coffee shop come spring and summer. The interior has a great aesthetic, very cozy and homey. There is also an extended seating area to the right of the storefront. There is an outdoor seating area as well too at the front entrance. I enjoy the lattes and teas, they are always well done and enjoyable. I haven't bothered to try the food though. Overall, the aesthetic, location and quality of coffee make it a great spot to drop by if you are in the area. read more

This is my third set of ownership attending Lakeshore Coffee House. Having met Debbie and Vlanos, I can honestly say that the "neighbourhood coffee shop" vibe is alive and well! They have added their own touches to the venue, but it retains its charm. The latte was up to par.... But the home made tiramisu... Come here for this and you will be as hooked as I am now. I can't wait to try other items now, but I am full. Another visit is forthcoming soon! read more

Amazing coffee! Even better than Starbucks! Bagels are fresh and have a wide variety of toppings to choose from! Breakfast sandwiches galore .... a great place to stop for breakfast or a quick snack! read more

Cute little shop, with good coffee, healthy baked goods and cheerful service. Located right on the main drag in Burlington, directly across from the Waterfront Hotel. read more

Two presidential candidates once fell into a hole. After flailing around in the dark for several hours, one of them remarked to the other, "It's dark in here." "I wouldn't know, I can't see," replied the other. Since I can remember, I've been lodged deep in a hole of darkness. Despite having conquered my own personal anxieties, I am plagued with a miserable existence living in one of the driest coffee deserts on the surface of this planet - Toronto, Ontario. Every morning, I awake - seeking the rich complexities of a cup of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, or perhaps the well-balanced acidity of a deep Sulawesi Toraja. I seek to no avail. In Burlington, the sun shines brighter. My associate and I entered this glorious establishment with a single goal in mind. Having read the glowingly informative reviews of this Trojan Horse of quality coffee in Southwestern Ontario, and having been witness to its innumerable awards and accolades, we sought what might simply be the best coffee in Canada. The ambiance of the room made our goal perfectly explicit. The shimmering beans were elegantly laid in plain view, for aficionados to drool over desperately awaiting their first taste of the coffee's wild aromas. Our voices trembled as we sheepishly asked our barista for a single espresso shot. Nothing more, nothing less. The heavens trembled, the skies opened up, and angels began to sing as we inhaled the gorgeous notes of the coffee, as it traveled from hand to hand in its triumphant excursion to our refined palates. Juniper berries began to dance on our tongues. Rose petals, raw Mexican chocolate, jackfruit, merlot, and the faint smell of the wind passing through the hills of Languedoc wafted across our taste buds as we swallowed each tantalizing drop.p read more

The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. We had the iced coffees as well, which were delicious. we were able to customize the order for my wife's dietary needs. read more

Worst coffee ever stay away. Hand an americano..i asked them what type of beans they had and they thought I was from anither planet. Taste like cheap beans. Any $1 coffee taste a thousand times better. All of their special drinks come over automated machine taste like poo. Bottom line save your hard earned $$$ and go to a real coffee shop that prepares it by hand not one that uses a manual machine as a prop and hits a button. read more

Once is too many times. Decaf coffee tasted awful. An Americano. Not sure how fresh the beans were. Went out on their patio to chat with a friend. As we were leaving I went inside and asked to be directed to their washroom. "It's closed." But I said, you sell liquid refreshments and your washroom is closed? " You can go to the gas station (2 blocks away) or to the porta potties in front of the hotel...." Really? Besides the corporate brands, there are some other really nice places to have coffee in Burlington. They are worth trying, Check Yelp. read more

Absolutely cute organic coffee place, great place to sit with your feet up an drink great coffee and it is right by Spencer Smith Park for a nice walk afterward. Friendly staff, delicious food, typical prices. read more

Stopped in before hitting Niagara Falls and found a pleasant surprise. Nice service and pastries to die for. Stop in!

Tiny place, good coffee and selection of items on the menu.

What an adorable coffee shop! My friend was puppy sitting a little dog and one of the staff members was nice enough to unchain the patio and bring out cushions for us despite it being winter. We both had the veggie sandwich and it was fresh and delish! This place has so much charm, is super cozy and has a certain je ne sais quoi! I can't believe I'd never been to it before yesterday! I'm already planning on going back tonight to show my bf! Also, tons of seating! Skip Starbucks & check this place out if you're looking for something with a more welcoming, homey feel! read more

The pecan square was delicious & my latte was well balanced with the deep espresso flavor pulling thru. Will come again while im intown. The feel of the space is great. Would recomend the lattes& pecan square read more
