Gibson & Company in Collingwood

Wife, mother, and seventeen month old daughter enter @3.50pm and told they are okay to sit down and order food. Establishment closes at 4pm. When ready to order, they are advised they will have to chug their chardonnay as they dont have any time before closing. Very unprofessional, bordering on illegal. Very sad experience. Ive been involved in the restaurant industry for over twenty years. If guests enter the dining room to order food, staff stay until they are done eating, thats how things work in a restaurant. Take note please, Gibson and Company. Thank you.

Great little place to have coffee in the early morning

We stopped in a couple times this weekend, once for their excellent coffee and another for a night cap, theyve got a very good collection of bourbon to choose from. Great space and atmosphere, and the staff were really chill and friendly.Well have to come by for the food next time.

Great atmosphere! This place had great food, coffee and a really cool atmosphere. Now we just need them to open one in Oakville!

Gibson and Company in Collingwood, Ontario, is a delightful café that beautifully combines a welcoming atmosphere with a commitment to quality. Upon entering, I was immediately struck by the warm ambiance, featuring rustic charm with modern touches, comfortable seating, and soft lighting that encourages patrons to settle in and enjoy their time. I ordered an Americano and a misto, both of which showcased the cafés dedication to excellent coffee. The Americano was robust and rich, with deep, complex flavors that highlighted the skill of the barista, perfectly brewed to eliminate any bitterness. The misto was a delightful blend of steamed milk and coffee, resulting in a creamy yet flavorful beverage that was comforting without being overly heavy, served at just the right temperature. The service was exemplary; the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, eager to share recommendations and engage in conversation about the coffee selections. Their passion for their craft was evident, enhancing the overall experience. The wait time for my drinks was minimal, and the baristas seemed genuinely invested in providing a top-notch experience for every customer. One standout aspect of Gibson and Company is its commitment to the local community. They source ingredients from local suppliers whenever possible, ensuring freshness and supporting neighboring businesses. This local focus adds an authentic touch to the experience, creating a strong connection between the café and the community it serves. Overall, my experience at Gibson and Company was delightful. From the inviting atmosphere to the expertly crafted beverages and attentive service, every element contributed to a memorable visit. Whether you re a coffee aficionado or simply looking for a cozy spot to unwind, Gibson and Company is a must-visit destination in Collingwood. I look forward to returning to explore more of their offerings and enjoy another peaceful moment in this wonderful café. Highly recommended!

A hidden gem down a little alley. The concept is unique - high brow coffees, wines and beers with a small but well apportioned supporting food menu. We were there in the afternoon and the cold brew was the best I ve had. Highly recommend popping in. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan options

I was able to find a coveted bottle of wine unavailable anywhere else in Ontario. The client service was top notch and delivery was seamless for the most part. I look forward to making the drive up to enjoy their venue. Cheers.

Great coffee bevs Wine selection Food

We had three of the sandwiches and they were delicious. The staff who brought out the food was very warm. However the staff at the front don t seem very happy to be there, I felt bad asking them for anything. The vibe of the cafe was cool but the staff could be more welcoming. The nitro cold brew was quite bitter and I was surprised there was ice in it. Also definitely very tricky to get inside if you have a stroller.

Ordered Gluten Free and they gave us normal bread. Have to ask to get it remade.

Chill environment!

This place is so cool and such a great concept. Its hidden down an alleyway and beautifully designed when you step inside. Reasonable prices and their food menu is superb. Awesome place to come to study, read, or relax with loved ones.

This place has always been a must. Super cozy and friendly staff. The AC was busted is the only reason why they get 4 stars. The Golden Girls wallpaper in the bathroom was a wonderful touch.

Delicious cocktails and amazing bathroom decor that brings to mind Blanche s bedroom on The Golden Girls!

This a hidden gem place in downtown Collingwood. We spent some time for a coffee and the place was pretty spacious and very nice. The coffee tasted great. Staff is awesome and nice

Good place. Decent coffee. Nothing special

When in Collingwood, Gibson & Company is a must visit. Coffee bar, and a beer and wine with bites. A huge selection of awesome bottles of wine to purchase.

Such a great atmosphere. Great coffee!! Perfect for any time of day. Food

Super great vibe! Definitely for the more experience and quality-savvy diner

Great place to socialize.

Nice cafe with a great vibe. Its located in a small alley. Truley a hidden gem

Best coffee in simcoe county.

Honestly never been impressed, been three times and three times service was slow and not friendly. Food is over priced and mediocre ..this place seems to hide behind the wine and cool image of a hip place to hangout and work from , the space is very nice and love the alley entrance but aside From that it is not all the hype. I think it has a lot more potential than what it s offering.

Thoroughly enjoyed coming here. Visited on a Sunday morning with a group of 7 friends and all were able to get seated comfortably. They really know what they are doing when it comes to their drink crafting and the espresso was delicious! I found the pricing to be quite reasonable and the vibes, omg the vibes! Immaculate! The access was down a little alley which I found to be so fun! A definite place to stop in while in Collingwood.

Loved this spot!

Super cute coffee shop, very friendly staff, and great coffee!

Always amazing selection of unique wine and great service. Love visiting this place anytime we visit Collingwood!

Okay first of all, the alleyway walking inside gives Harry Potter vibes, so magical. The staff is truly amazing, super friendly and they all know how to make an amazing flat white! Huge wine selection, light menu and an assortment of baked goods that change every day or so I married my favourite barista a few years ago, so the staff here better WATCH OUT if they keep up this kind of quality!

Very cool place with a European vibe. Only went there for a latte, which was excellent, but I would go back for more coffee as well as the food & the wine.

Great place to eat and have coffee or an alcoholic drink. Service exceptional.

At first, I couldn t find the arrow to order as I was looking at the floor and ceiling. For those that go, it s on the wall lol Cappuccino and grilled cheese were delicious, atmosphere amazing and service spectacular. Thank you. Food

Great coffee.

The service here is pretty appalling! Extremely rude, like you owe them something!

Really cool place, been there twice in 16 hours. great coffee in the AM and great cocktails in the PM. Helpful staff, nice atmosphere. Cool entrance down the alley with string lights

The espresso was delicious. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere

Good flat white. Nice atmosphere.

Gibsons is everything: Cafe-meets-Wine/Cocktail Bar; definitely the place you want to be if youre looking for a laidback atmosphere with a great vibe, day or night!! They offer a wide selection of spirits fit for any budget, as well as an impressive wine cellar filled with organic/bio-dynamic wines (a tad bit pricier than your standard, run-of-the-mill wines, but you get what you pay for; they stock only the best!) The knowledgeable, friendly staff will help steer you in the right direction, no matter what youre craving. Consistent espresso shots pulled every single time if youre just looking to pop in for a coffee, as well as Small Plates available if youre in the mood for a snack. My favourite hangout in town; always a great crowd! You have to check it out!!

I ve only been here for coffee and pastries so the stars are based on that alone. The place is very cute and staff are fine. The low rating was for the quality. I found the coffee they used to be sour which made the latte taste off. You also couldn t taste any of the vanilla in the latte and they charge extra for flavours so that was disappointing. The Apple fritter was SO dense, there was no way I d be able to eat it all. The half I did eat just sat in a ball in my stomach truthfully.

Its hidden, its amazing !!!! Great coffee !!

Gosh, the staff are so cool here. The environment is perfect for getting some work done, catching up with friends, date night, or even reading alone with a latte and a treat. Its always fun coming here.

One of the best parts of vacation was finding this awesome wine/bourbon/coffee shop. Atmosphere and service were excellent. The selection of drinks and food was great. We made this a frequent stop while visiting the area. Look forward to coming back.

Decent service, great coffee and vibe

Amazing service, vibe, food and drinks! Everyone is always super friendly and we ve never left disappointed. Best coffee around! Their sandwiches are also to die for. Highly recommend! :)

I LOVE it here! I come for a tea almost every other day. I sometimes work, I sometimes socialize. The staff is so kind and sweet. They remember me every time I come in. I ve met so many amazing individuals here. I ve talked for hours with strangers that become friends. Everyone talks to everyone. It s such an awesome hidden gem of Collingwood. Thanks guys for creating this fantastic space!

Amazing coffee and location! Friendly staff. Very busy!

Such a wonderful place! Great food, nice staff, pleasant ambiance. I found it by accident a happy accident! It is our go-to coffee and little bites place in Collingwood

Can I give this place 7 stars?! The cute lights outside and the alley entranceway are so charming. I had a spiked London fog latte with gin, it was great! My gf had a chocolate latte with Gibsons rye; it was the best coffee drink Ive ever had, I think because of the quality of the coffee and chocolate! Unreal. They have great beers and wines and whiskey. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I will be coming back whenever Im in town.

Good coffee, great food. Fast n friendly service-- beautiful space-- and lots of it. Loved the playlist-- part. Nostalgic 2000s indie part bigger hits. Great selection of wines n beers. Seems a bit like a toronto-owned business found cheap rent and teleported into Collingwood.

Love this place. Love the vibe, love the people. Come here a lot and it s awesome for meetings, or hanging out. One thing though: the grilled cheese. K. Because everything at Gibson & co. is so awesome I was thinking, I m gonna order a grilled cheese and I bet it s the greatest grilled cheese I ll ever eat. But then the grilled cheese came, and I was like, dudes it s not a grilled cheese if there s no butter on the outside of the bread, yo! That s cool if you want to make a cheese sandwich and put it in the panini press thing with no butter, but that makes it a dry heated cheese sandwich dawgy! Not a grilled cheese. So that s my only thing. But everything else I LOVE

Excellent coffee

This is one hidden gem in Collingwood. Its a MUST visit if you like your coffees and tea!! But the best part is that they actually have AMAZINGGGGG food. Make sure you try the avocado toast if you are there or the hummus the ambiance is nice and it just feels cozy especially on a brisk wintery night. Definitely check her out!!

Great place for an afternoon snack and drink. Great vibe. Busy in mornings too. Farmers charcuterie is really good with a beer. Americano in morning is just OK. Drip coffee cheaper and better. My go-to place downtown Collingwood.

Great atmosphere and top notch staff. Coffee, beer, wine, spirits, snacks, meals. Stay all day if you want! Owners are pros!

Great coffee in a beautiful space! We visited this past weekend for drinks at night and coffee the following morning. There is plenty of seating and the space is bright and inviting. Definitely a must visit if youre looking for a coffee shop in Collingwood!

Great coffees Decent snacks and eats Needs more Draught selection

Great bar! Good prices and very friendly staff!!!

Hidden gem! Have walked by this alley a half dozen times each trip to Collingwood and always think I should check it out. So sad I hadnt before this weekend. If I lived in Collingwood I would be there every day! Had an Americano and a cookie. Beautiful atmosphere, bustling yet chill. Warm and inviting.

Amazing hidden gem of a coffee shop! That initial simple review above was around 4 years ago.. And it looks like now (2023) they have really upgraded their options for food and beverages... as now (it may have been like this before, but I dont remember this) they have an incredible variety of wines, and small plate options like Duck Rillete and sour cherry grilled baguettes Wowsa! :)

This place is collingwoods best kept secret (granted, its not that much of a secret). Great coffee, great food, great cocktails.

Great place! Loved it!

Such a gem! Great meeting spot, tucked away down the alleyway between buildings.

Favourite coffee shop in Collingwood

So great atmosphere and nice people in here! I have to say that I really like this concept. Their wine selection, great coffee, nice interior, friendly staff, good atmosphere, interesting people and still very affordable. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is visiting Collingwood and looking for a great place for an evening or even during the day, and actually whenever you want something good.

The best

Amazing selection of beer and wine. Great atmosphere and good food too.

Ive only ever come here for coffee, but I absolutely love this spot. Love their iced lattes, the overall vibe of the place, and their alleyway entrance lined with lights. They also have a great selection of unique wines available for purchase. I would love to come to try out some wine and food as well!

Excellent choice for mid day coffe time

Gibson is a wonderful clean bar/coffee shop Offers a huge selection of curated wine from their bottle shop Great service and atmosphere

Awesome place, very cozy.

Hidden gem. Love the food, and I think they served me the best cappuccino ever!

I just stopped by here for coffee to go. It seems like a hidden gem.

Unexpected delight in the center of Collingwood. Cozy coffee and wine bar with some side dishes. Great atmosphere

Just awesome! Fast & friendly service, great quality food & drink...excellent in all ways!

Super cool vibe

Goid coffee and a great social bar to chat with friends while enjoying a beer, wine or cocktail.

An atmosphere of energy, cleanliness, and friendliness. Good place to talk business or talk about your upcoming weekend. Very good vibes.

Great atmosphere, quick and friendly service. Seems to be a drink for any occasion or palate. We went a few evenings ago for a drink, and will be back soon for a caffinated beverage

Great food and Drinks, as well as nice Espresso. Warm service - J#

Good sandwiches, nice relaxed atmosphere. Can easily miss the entrances as just off in a little alleyway.

Great service and wonderful coffee!! Hidden gem in Collingwood. Must try if you are in this area.

Great hidden spot in Downtown Collingwood. Highly recommend. Wide selection of wines and beers. Great place to go for lunch or dinner or even just for a coffee

Best capucino in the area. We checked out 5 other places! Also food is Delish. Smoked trout sandwich soup and salad.

Coffee is so so good! love the sandwiches and trout dip. A glazed donut topped off a memorable lunch. Highly recommend this spot, cool vibes!

Highly recommend this place for good coffee in Collingwood. Sometimes it can be hard to find good coffee in small towns but this place is top notch!

This hidden gem is a must try in Collingwood. Lovely team, warm atmosphere and smart concept. Wine was excellent and largely Ontario based. They really seem to support local vendors which is great. Pilot coffee was perfect as usual. Cubano was very tasty. Would 100% return on our next visit.

Great little coffee place

A go-to area at Blue Mountain for coffee. The atmosphere makes me want to move here permanently See you again once snowboard season starts

Very cool café with a fantastic selection of excellent wines by the glass. The coffee is great and the food is very good. Their bottle shop has a wide range of bottles of wines not available at the LCBO for sale. Definitely will be returning!

Nice ambience. Great cappuccino. They use beans from Pilot Coffee Roasters Toronto.

A coffee and wine gathering place hidden off from the Main Street of Collingwood (Hurontario). Very close to city hall. Nearby street parking. A large sélection of wine which seems to be their forte. I tried the matcha which was fairly good but small portion considering the price of $5.95. The sour dough bread with butter $5 was not overwhelming. Perhaps we can try other dishes the next time and cannot judge it but it was quite busy despite early Saturday morning.

Love this place for their fabulous selection of wines.

Name a better coffee in CWood. Such a cute shop, great bar, adorable alley entrance, perfect crema, thick milk. Love that they use Collingwood Bread Co breads. Just a great vibe all around. So so good!

One of my favourite places in Collingwood to get a drink

Such a cute cafe for a Sunday afternoon! Loved the vibes inside and the coffee was delicious

A local favourite. Great food and coffee. Awesome vibes. Always busy but not too loud so yku can still get work done during the day.

Inviting spot with great selection of wine, beer, coffee, etc. Must visit if youre a fan of natural wines, their selection is better than most shops in Toronto.

Cool joint.

laid back open relaxed vibe with cheerful friendly staff. Great place yo unwind and feel part of society.

Always a good time there!

Most amazing coffee ever!!!!!! Must try great new place downtown Collingwood!

Very cozy and excellent coffee and drink list

Cute little coffee bar! Good vibes, great music, lattes hit the spot after a day at BM. The barista was kind, and shared with us tips on how to do our own latte art at home (shout out to Randy for answering all of our questions!). Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great ambiance and coffee. Lots of variety of wines and drinks to try here. The barista was really helpful in giving us tips on how to make latte art.

Such a surprise hidden down the alley. Large and clean a great morning coffee or a pre dinner stop for wine and cheese.

Coool hangout place, collingwood hidden gem of a shop. Coffee, espresso, wine and food. Great for dates, business, family. Definitely check it out!!

Very cool atmosphere

Awesome experience, no one knows small batch Bourbon like Luke!

Best Americano Ive ever had! Such chill vibes and super friendly staff. Dont miss out!

An absolute gem. Delicious unique cocktails. A wine list that you wont find anywhere else. We absolutely loved this place and will be a stop anytime we are out for date night or entertaining friends.

Great coffee with friendly service and a comfortable ambience!

Very friendly staff, very very good coffee. Cant say much for the other products yet only been there for coffee. It is a higher price than say.. tim Hortons or starbucks but it is real coffee unlike those places.

Hidden gem in Collingwood, amazing drinks, fantastic atmosphere, highly recommended this place, Very light and chill atmosphere, great place to hang out and lounge around with friends.

This is the place Collingwood needed and other towns wish they had. It has become an adjective. We need a Gibson & Co type place here.

As a visitor in Collingwood, I was surprised with Gibson coffee. My wife and I loved the atmosphere. Such a great and peaceful place to enjoy your time on the afternoon.

Coming from a plebian who is allergic to dairy (ironically, from wisconsin) this was a tasteful and memorable experience due entirely to the vegan cheese plate. Thanks be to mlady for finding this gem.

Good coffee, food and drinks. Good place to sit and catch up with a friend.

My family and I had a wonderful time at Gibsons. Of course their food and drinks were great, but the service was impeccable! Eleri helped us choose the right things from the menu and was super nice! She even took time to give us the name of the cheese we liked and point out a couple things we could do while in Collingwood! Thank you Eleri!

Great spot, from the almost sketchy alleyway entrance to the kitchen fumes catching the afternoon light to the multitude of wine bottles that Id never afford to buy, this is a place that is just about too cool for me. Beer on tap, good coffee with any espresso option youd want, a very cool place to hang out with a multitude of cool good options available.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a chill place to have a few drinks and wind down the night. Gibson & Co not only met what we were looking for, but greatly exceeded our expectations! My boyfriend had Blood Light and the owner took his time to explain the flavours of it and even told us about the Blood Brothers Brewery, which it came from. I wanted a cocktail and noticed that about half of them were made with gin which I normally hate because who wants to drink a Christmas tree?! The owner explained to me that most non-gin drinkers like their gin and he even make me a drink to try and offered to make me a new one if I didn t like it. Well, I ended up loving it! Everything about Gibson and Co was perfection and we will definitely be back! PS. Their soup is amazing too! My mom picked some up for me last winter.

Hidden gem of Collingwood. If you love coffee check this place out. Awesome menu too.

Lovely hidden spot with an impressive and excellent wine selection for all tastes and budget. The waiter was very attentive. We liked it so much we decided to go back after our diner! If you re hungry, the trout dip is a must! The only thing they are missing to make this place extra perfect is a patio

Spacious and good atmosphere. The baristas are very kind as well

Enter through the alley; its an amazing spot. Service was top-notch, big thanks to Randy and colleagues. Coffeeshop and wine bar with a lot of caché. I ordered coffees for a large group, and everyone was delighted.

A must when visiting Collingwood to get your caffeine fix!

Tucked away in a small alley way this place is a hidden gem! Great atmosphere and food. Would definitely come back here again!

We love coming here every time we.visit Collingwood. Best coffee and great food! Always very satisfied every time we come here.

I love this place. The food and service is impeccable, but even more exciting is the whiskey list and bottle shop. Also the coffee. Great coffee

A little piece of distillery district with a Collingwood charm would be the best way to describe this place. The experience starts with the charming alley that leads to the main door. Once inside you can feel the care that was taken with the interior design. The food is local, inventive, and delicous. And of course this review wouldnt be complete without the coffee review. Delicous aswell! I love pilot roasters and the baristas do a wonderful job of preparing each drink. We found out about this place and we went to breakfast and lunch because it was so good. Would highly recommend

This is such a cute little hidden gem. It is a hole in the wall place. It is on a tiny street off the main Street. It has a really cool Vibe and decor. Seemed like most of the people there were locals and knew each other. I would have loved to stay longer but our child was with us so we grabbed a quick bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Service is quick and nice. Wish I took some pics of the charcuterie plate we ordered. Must go place.

Excellent coffee and snacks. Havent tried it yet, but excited to get into their huge selection of wine.

Very nice wine bar. A little pricey but worth a visit

Best place to go. Our server Eli was beyond exceptional and made our evening TRULY the perfect night. Great drinks and music too

This was my first time in Collingwood and my server Eli Taylor was so kind and professional. Best Paper Plane Ive ever had. Ever. Vibes were immaculate. Great moustache.

As it being my first time in therre I wasnt sure what to expect but it blew my mind away. It felt homey like I was sitting in my living having a cup of tea. The atmosphere and decor was great. I had the spiked London fog and it was delicious. Id definitely check up this little gem if you have the time.

Really cute place, loved the brick walls. More importantly the coffee was good, the menu options were interesting and I will definitely go back.

Restaurant: Scrumptious Location: Richmond Hill Price-Per person: $5-$10 2 coffees + cookie + tip was 22$ Ambiance: 5/5 stars Decor: 4/5 stars Service: 5/5 stars Food freshness: 5/5 stars Another hidden gem among Collingwood wood. Led down a long alley thats straight out of Harry Potter. This coffee shop offers quite the variety and will wow you upon entering. The staff is friendlier then friendly Explaining how the drinks are and did with a smile. They also offer cookies and simple snacks here, to satisfy your snacking needs. We got a ginger and molasses cookie... They are better then Starbucks. Starbucks needs to take a seat because their lattes are to die for. Great atmosphere and was lots of seating. They also offer whiskey in coffee only for dine in. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

A spot on place. Nice is as nice does for sure.

Great ambiance:) great food :)

What a cool place to go. The staff are very knowledgeable on there selection of whiskeys and bourbons. Huge selection of drinks in all price ranges. You have to check it out.

Very cool spot to grab a coffee or drink with friends. Highly recommend!

Coffe was disappointing. Pastery was stale. Location is intriguing/interesting + ambience is good. Its OK thats all.

Terrible experience - brought our dog in like others Ive seen do the same, they made our order then told us we couldnt bring a dog in ... I felt unfairly treated and may never go back

Great place with a cool vibe. It can be whatever you want it to be. A coffee shop with great cookies or a place to grab a glass of wine and cheese! We will definitely be back!

Late night stop on a Thursday night, was packed with a lively mixed crowd! Had some boozy coffees- would go back

Fun little coffee shop that also offers a large variety of whiskeys and wine. Lots of selection. Nice place to go relax and chat with friends. Delicious coffee.

Cool cafe, loved the cold brew and the good music like Andy Shauf playing. Tables are very distanced.

Cappuccino and a scone, a great way to start the day!

A great little find that is tucked away. Great coffee and an impressive selection of wine.

Friendly staff, great selection for coffee, whiskey and their wine-to-go shelf is a gem. The spot itself is beautiful, warm and inviting. Food is limited but the smoked trout sandwich is a personal fav! Its the kinda of spot that fits all occasions (coffee, lunch, or evening drinks) and you could bring anybody (your date, your buddy or your aunt). You wont regret, enjoy!

Fun snacks and a comprehensive cocktail/drink menu. Great afternoon spot.

This place is fantastic ! Tucked away in an alleyway , but worth the search. Cosy modern decor - great eats, drinks, coffee.... Recommended !!!

Was recommended to us from a local store owner downtown. We had an incredible lunch, were able to find a table but it was busy. A really cool vibe with lots of craft beer and wines to choose from.

This place has got it dialed in. Pilot coffee, cool entrance, great charcuterie board, nice vibes and music. Go check it out!

Very good coffee, good food! Excellent selection of bourbons, ryes and other North American whiskeys!!!

Best place for a social bevvy in Collingwood. Grab an obscure wine, cork it and enjoy. Coffee is pretty ok as well ;)

Went here on a whim. It was so cute inside and the food/baked goods were so good. I got the chickpea smash toast and a blueberry muffin. Yum! I will be back when I m in the area.

Smoked fish dip was fantastic, wine and cocktails were great service was slow but it was a busy evening.

Tucked away little gem in the heart of downtown. Lovely wine selection and great ambiance.

Went to a whiskey bar quite excited to have a scotch ... cute alleyway in and fun atmosphere (someone in the kitchen burnt some toast which was also not making the experience top notch) It blows my mind that they are missing the scotch drinkers ... 6 of us went ready to spend a couple of hours drinking and having a few apps ... we ordered on drink and left ... seriously... invest the $500 to have a limited scotch collection ... not hard!

me and my friend came in for a coffee today and the cashier was really unfriendly and seemed annoyed, its too bad because weve had really great previous expeiences here :( coffee was good as always
