Dineen Coffee Co.

This was part of our little city escape up north and we stopped here as a resting spot. I wasn’t expecting much beyond a coffee break, but it turned out they focus more on alternative-style drinks. I went with the Medicinal Hot Chocolate and it caught me completely off guard in a good way. Cinnamon, cardamom, maple syrup, and Himalayan salt are not the usual suspects in a hot chocolate, but the mix worked surprisingly well. It was soothing, comforting, and felt like something made with intention. That said, anyone not familiar with the raw cocoa flavour might not immediately think of it as a traditional hot chocolate. The cafe itself is warm, scenic, and very welcoming. I really liked the decor, which feels like stepping into an old Canadian home with a lot of charm. It is the kind of place you could sit for a while without feeling rushed. I would definitely like to come back before winter sets in again.

A very nice spot that seems to be the place for locals to go to. Went here after seeing it all over social media. Coffee was decent. Had a cortado and very smooth. Just wish it was a little stronger flavour. Didn’t leave too lasting an aftertaste which is good. Tried the Oreo brownie and satisfied my sweet tooth. Nice and chocolatey and then the crunch from the Oreo cookie crumbs While service was average (could have just been the day since it seemed fairly busy) and not too much of a convo happening, the atmosphere was on point. Super cozy and the view from. The back is definitely I wanna take a look at. Parking is tough as there is only street parking and lots of signs stating when you can park. Good job overall

The Roost Cafe in King City is such a hidden gem! It’s set in what feels like a cozy, traditional home that’s been beautifully transformed into a café — the decor is so charming and gives off a really warm, homey vibe. They have a nice selection of drinks, and I tried the veggie wrap, which was super tasty. My partner had the avocado sandwich and really enjoyed it too. The staff were all really friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re in or around King City, I definitely recommend stopping by — it’s the perfect cozy spot to relax and grab a bite!
