Norfolk’s Best Coffee Shops
There’s something magical about coffee, isn’t there? It’s not just a drink; it’s an experience. The first sip of a perfectly brewed cup can feel like a warm hug, a quiet moment of comfort, or even the start of an inspiring conversation. Here in Norfolk County, we’re lucky to have some incredible coffee spots that serve up more than just caffeine—they offer a place to pause, connect, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
1. Urban Parisian – Port Dover
Looking for a slice of Paris in Norfolk County? Urban Parisian offers an authentic French café vibe, complete with buttery croissants, indulgent pastries, and, of course, great coffee. This charming spot is perfect for a mid-morning catch-up or treating yourself to something special. Don’t miss Wednesday Bagel Day—it’s a crowd favourite!
2. Joy Bakery Café – Simcoe
For warm, welcoming vibes, head to Joy Bakery Café in Simcoe. Their freshly baked treats pair perfectly with their high-quality coffee, making it an ideal spot to relax or connect with friends. The cozy atmosphere will have you staying for "just one more" coffee… and maybe one of their famous chocolate chip cookies or two. They are Melissa’s absolute favourites!
3. Kingfisher Café – Simcoe
In the heart of Downtown Simcoe, Kingfisher Café is a must-visit for coffee lovers. Known for its unique and flavourful brews, this spot has quickly become a local fave. Whether you’re there for a quick coffee or a leisurely afternoon, you’ll find their warm, friendly atmosphere hard to leave.
4. The Belching Barista – Waterford
The Belching Barista in Waterford is a quirky and delightful spot that lives up to its playful name. Norfolk County's first and only specialty coffee roaster, procuring only high quality ethically sourced beans for you to enjoy. They keep it fresh making it a great place to settle in with a cup and enjoy the charming ambiance of Waterford. I recommend an apple fritter to accompany your coffee!
