Cozy coffee shop with a fire going in winter. Plenty of parking out on the side streets, and location was easy to find. Barista was quick to make my drink, and very attentive. Variety of seating options throughout the space. Tried the seasonal spiced orange latte - wonderful flavor!

We were in town and walked down to Walden Coffee. The shop was so cozy and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The lattes were well made and we appreciated the bookshelf in one corner with kids’ toys. We’ll definitely be back on future visits!

I walked to this coffee shop as it was only a 10 minute walk from an Airbnb I was staying in and was recommended by the host. I will say it is a great coffee shop. They have different coffee and tea drinks and everything you need to make it how you enjoy it. They also make smoothies as well. They offer breakfast food and pastries and we got a cinnamon roll, which was excellent, and a breakfast sandwich with turkey and Canadian bacon which was great. There was plenty of parking, if you need to drive there. They had table and barstool seating and free Wi-Fi. The staff was very nice and the service was quick. No complaints at all about this place would definitely visit again if I were in the area.

The staff are awesome. This is one of my favourite spots to do homework. London Frog is my go to drink, but check out the seasonal selection.

Tried this place for the first time and absolutely loved it! It had been on my want-to-go list for a while and I’m so glad I could finally make it. What we ordered: -small hot oatmilk mocha, half sweet, dash of cinnamon -lemon lavender cookie -chai oat cookie -breakfast sandwich: English muffin, pesto, tomato, egg, Canadian bacon, cheddar Literally every item was delightful. From the cozy mocha in the cute mug to the melt-in-your-mouth breakfast sandwich. And the prices are actually VERY reasonable and affordable. The atmosphere is amazing with the unique furniture, cozy corners, emphasis on nature, and excellent taste in music. Will be coming here again and highly recommend you check it out!

They use the best oat milk and their espresso is always well balanced. Lots of nice space to hang out, if I want to be special and go to my favorite coffee shop I always come here. Good prices too

Wonderful coffee bar! The staff are super friendly and helpful. The patrons are kind and considerate. It has a very homey atmosphere with unique dishware for in house orders and different places to sit like couches, chairs, boothes, and stools. The menu is small, but what they do have is pretty good! The coffee is tastey and they have syrups like Lavender in the summer and Maple in the winter. I highly recommend their flavored lattes and their London Frog.

Highly recommend an iced blueberry honey oat milk latte if they have their homemade blueberry syrup available! I love coming here during good weather because they open up the garage door. Also love the variety of seating so I can work, read, crohcet or just chat with friends here :)

Naomi and Kendra were so nice!! Very fast baristas and very kind. My friend and I visited for some morning bevs, and they were delish! I got a small caramel iced latte, my friend got a medium iced latte with some fun flavors too. We both thought the taste of their espresso was great and it compliments their flavors perfectly! I enjoy how they charge different amounts for different sizes for flavors, because most places charge one flat rate regardless on how much actual flavor you want/need. The prices are fair for their drinks, baked goods are priced a littttle high in my opinion, but still tasty. Banana bread is fire, brownie is just okay. I'd take a whole loaf of the banana bread. Gas. Liked this place so much that I got a shirt too! Only $25! The vibes and atmosphere of this cafe are so lovely. They have an amazing indie jazzy chill pop playlist that they play in the background. Huge kudos to whoever made this playlist because it's so nice and relaxing. They have a garage here to open and let sun & fresh air in. This does let some bugs in, but not too many. I may or may not have murdered a few mosquitoes during my stay. Theres a nice bench outside to sit at too! Will definitely be coming back! Thanks again guys

Beautiful café!!! I got an oat milk honey lavender iced latte size medium and not only was it delicious but it was very reasonably priced. Their atmosphere is incredibly inviting and peaceful. They have a garage that opens when the weather is nice, plants, lots of nice seating options, a FIRE jazzy playlist, water dispenser, and friendly baristas. Naomi was very nice and very skilled. What a lovely café! Will return for sure. Thanks Walden!!
