Lakeside Coffee Roaster

Loved the place. It’s hardly half a mile after crossing the border. Good place to take a break after a long queue at the border. We went for a coffee, cappuccino, veggie omelette bowl and an apple walnut salad. They, unfortunately, ran out of walnuts, so it was substituted by pecans. Everything was great. Loved the omelette and the salad. Salad would have been better with arugula and spinach instead of lettuce though. The staff were nice and friendly. Nice clean place. There is street parking outside and a parking lot across the street. Definitely recommended!

This morning Donna and I stopped into Lakeside Coffee ☕ and I’ve got to say, it’s places like this that remind you why local spots matter. Donna ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin 🥓🍳🧀. Nothing fancy. Just the classics done right. The bacon had that perfect bite, the egg was cooked just the way you’d hope, and the cheese melted together like it was meant to be there. Sometimes the simple things, when they’re done well, are better than anything complicated. Now let’s talk coffee. The hot coffee was brewed perfectly. Nice and smooth. No bitterness. No burnt aftertaste. Just a clean, easy cup that you can actually enjoy without doctoring it up. You can tell when someone takes pride in what they’re serving. I went with an iced coffee 🧊 and it was spot on. Refreshing, bold

I’ve tried to come here multiple times, and never once have I had a good experience. I’ve been a barista for 7 years so I know what I latte should taste like, it’s not very hard to mess up. But somehow each time it just gets worse and worse. The one I just tried from them tasted like syrup and cheep almond milk. The women they have working the counter are always rude and unhelpful. I came in originally to buy a bag of coffee for someone as a gift *which I will now not be giving* and the woman at the counter rolled her eyes multiple times when I was trying to decide on what roast. She offered no suggestions or help with anything & made me feel incredibly uncomfortable. There was no one else in line, & it wasn’t busy at the time, but as soon as i got there she made me feel like i was an inco

I love having this coffee shop as a local option. Their iced latte options and chai are fantastic, and the food (when available) has always been delicious thanks to the partnership with Delicious Beauty Café. That said, the management side feels a little inconsistent. Both the café and kitchen open at 7:30am, which makes it tough for work commutes. Often only one barista is on in the mornings, so there can be a wait right at opening. Food is hit or miss depending on whether the kitchen staff shows up on time (or at all), and it doesn’t seem like the baristas are kept in the loop. This has happened on several occasions, today being one. More robust online ordering for food would also be a great improvement. Despite these challenges, the baristas are always warm and kind — I’ll never forge

They roast their own coffee right here, and have fair-trade options. Muffins are yummy. Open floor plan, really pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff and owners! Feels like home :-) I didn't eat here but saw the sandwiches they were bringing out, and the looked yummy and we're enormous!
