Christopher's Cafe & Smoke Shop has been serving downtown St. Catharines since 1938. It is a great little gem and the best coffee shop in the city, described as haunted by the ghosts of all great literature. Lovers of caffeine are welcome, with espresso and latte as its strength, including incredible pistachio and iced biscoff lattes. The coffee is incredible and much better than chain coffee shops. The food is delicious, with everything fresh and done in-store. They make their own baked goods, like oat bars, cookies, and sandwiches. They also offer a wide range of goods from gelato to samosas, all tasting incredible. Prices are very reasonable. The shop is spotless, very clean, organized, and well-kept. The service is great, cheerful, kind, polite, and incredibly attentive. The employees are welcoming, accommodating, and create a warm, inviting atmosphere. It is a great place to eat in, perfect for families or a quick pick-me-up, and also ideal to stop in on the go. Customers will definitely be back.
The baristas put so much love and care into each cup. The friendly atmosphere and incredible coffee, keeps me coming back

My latte and freshly made oat bar were both very good. They make their own baked goods! The a Barista was kind and polite. I will definitely be back. If you prefer supporting a small local business go here. Much better than ⭐️bucks coffee. Not the greatest pic. It had to be tasted before the review!
