Coffee Culture Café & Eatery

Stopped in today for lunch. I ordered a Breakfast Bagel. Everything bagel with sausage. When I got back to the car it was a toasted Asiago bagel, no sausage, no egg? Went back in to get it correctly made. Back to the car, same bagel with sausage only, no egg? Went back in to get my money back, enough is enough. The young lady had the gall to argue with me that I got the order wrong. Since the change in ownership we stop less and less.....maybe not at all now.

The staff here is excellent. Really helpful in a genuinely friendly way. I was able to get gluten free options also which made my lunch perfect. Their berry salad is to die for. Wonderful!

My wife and I are retired and will drive to different coffee shops several times a week as an outing. The Mount Forest location was one of them. Yesterday, we stopped in and were surprised at how empty the store was. Quite unusual for that location as it was lunchtime and would alwaus be busy. We then noticed there were new people working the counter, and the showcase was practically empty. The carrot caramel cheescake, the main reason for our visit, was not available. We left the store, shaking our heads, as yet another food locale has changed, not for the better. What is going on in Ontario?

“Coffee Culture in Mount Forest has been a favorite of mine for years, but I’ve noticed a decline in quality over the past two years. The atmosphere is still nice, but the food and attention to detail aren’t what they used to be. On my last visit, I was disappointed to find a hair in my bagel. While mistakes happen, it left me questioning the cleanliness standards. I really hope they address these issues, as I’d love to see them return to the level of quality they once had.”

Worker came out of the back room with a food display dish, which had open cakes and was using it to also carry cleaning spray. They actually close earlier than displayed Sunday hours. Place is not kept well maintained. Empty booths were tipped two hours before the closing time, not welcoming new people.
