Feedback on Balzac's Port Dalhousie. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) located in St. Catharines (Ontario)
Description
Balzac’s Port Dalhousie? Oh boy, let me tell ya, it’s a cozy little haven tucked away in St. Catharines. This joint sits pretty in a charming old bank building from 1907, right at 9 Lock St. Imagine sipping a latte while surrounded by stories that spill from those walls. It’s like a coffee time capsule!
The atmosphere? Simply delightful. You can kick back either indoors or on their patio, which, might I say, is perfect for people-watching. Cyclists, families, and beachgoers all seem to mingle around. Free street parking isn’t too shabby, either.
Now, about the coffee. People rave about Balzac’s brews. Some have even claimed it’s the best specialty coffee in the Niagara region. A few favorites include the chai latte and the eye-watering iced Canadian latte! But on the flip side, not everyone is sold on their drip coffee. Some have described it as resembling “brown water.” Yikes!
And let’s not forget the friendly baristas; they seem to really know their stuff! Most patrons walk away with a grin, and hey, the vegan cookies? A solid hit!
But, here’s the catch—if you’re in a wheelchair, be warned; it’s not the most accessible spot. The stairs can be a hurdle. A real bummer if you’re trying to enjoy a nice drink!
All in all, Balzac’s is definitely worth a visit—just remember to try their butter tart. You might find yourself planning your next trip before you even finish your cup!
