209 8th St E, Owen Sound, ON N4K 1L2, Canada
Very nice place to stop for a coffee and a bite. Not noisy but only a few people mid-week.
It was my first visit to the cafe. Lovely little place. I ordered a simple coffee and panini. The panini is very filling! The only downside is the door next to the first table inside isn’t properly insulated so I had to move tables and sit at a large table since the smaller ones were already taken. I was amazed and pleasantly surprised at how busy they are. Groups of people kept arriving. Nice to see people enjoying good food and beverages other than Tim’s. I think if they look into getting the door properly insulated they won’t be losing heat during the winter. Other than that, I will return and recommend it to others.
Loved this spot so much! We were only passing through Owen Sound and decided to stop for a coffee. I got a latte and it's genuinely one of the best I've had. Beautiful location as well! Nicely decorated interior and the staff was lovely. Will absolutely be back when I can!
Went here for lunch while visiting Owen Sound and has a nice atmosphere. A great place for breakfast bagels, wrap and paninis. Food was tasty, but coffee could have been better. Overall, nice place for breakfast or lunch.
The best spot for sandwich-lovers. I got the pesto, hummus, tomato, sandwich on rye and it was delicious. Lots of options (eg; bagels, wraps, paninis). Drinks were fine, it’s like your classic cafe with great food.
My partner and I went in with high hopes as the atmosphere inside was nice, but unfortunately our iced lattes were basically just milk over ice. I saw the amount of espresso as it was being made and it looked like less than a typical shot in a large cup so overall disappointing when you're paying $6+ per drink. Typically in a medium/large latte you should have two shots of espresso.
I would give NEIL above 5🌟 if I could! Now my go-to lattee & will bring my JavaBitches from Woodbridge here when they visit me in June for my '56th' birthday🎂🎈 I thank him for opening this coffee shop - I love how spacious on both sides and love those booths on the side along the wall☕
The ambience is very cute with witty quotes and cute structures. We couldn’t eat as their kitchen closes at 2 on Saturday. We had a matcha latte, lavender hot chocolate and freshly squeezed grapefruit juice. Beverages were not that great. Ambience and vibe is very nice.
This is the best coffee in Owen Sound for sure! Fair prices and very friendly staff plus great food. Parking: Parked on street close by.
Actually the cutest coffee shop And good drinks.
Such a great place
The best coffee u will ever taste
Can confirm the staff are friendly and coffee and cookies are great too
Great coffee shop, totally recommend for a breakfast on the go !
We enjoyed ourselves here. The food was great and the staff was good. We will return.
Looking For Class? You Got It, This Place Is 1000 times better then the trailer trash fest that you see at Tim Hortons.
Lovely!
Great coffee shop in downtown OS. There arent too many cafes like this around here.
Best latte Ive ever had.
If youre looking for that classic coffee shop atmosphere look no further, however your money wont go to far here. Inflation has turned a lot of places into money pits, and thats a crying shame. Frog Pond is a great place, especially in the summer months when they open the shop right up. The prices have turned me off though, and after my last visit of paying upwards to $34.00 for a large coffee, 1 slice of banana bread, a smoothie, and a bagel Ill be keeping my money and recreating all these things in the comfort of my own home. Thank you inflation.
Lovely place for a sit down break.
Very friendly staff, the food is always made fresh to order, treats are fresh and yummy, coffee is made well and hot! Always clean and happy environment.
A very friendly environment, excellent food made with love!
Passing through town - had a great sandwich and coffee. Staff very friendly!
The breakfast sandwich is fantastic!!!
Tried this place out for the first time today. I will definitely be back. A Gem of a spot right in downtown OS. Friendly staff, great atmosphere!
Always great service great coffee 5 starts all around
A nice place for coffee and to meet people.
Cozy cafe with an excellent cafe late!
Delicious food & drink and a very nice atmosphere.
A legit coffee and tea shop in the heart of downtown Owen Sound. (The river district) Try the shortbread cookies. You wont regret it!
Overall, not bad. Food was so-so but the coffee was good although not great. They close rather early. If you want to add your own cream and sugar, you really cant as there did not appear to be any available for customer use. Lots of room inside though so there was never a problem finding a table.
Best scones ever. Friendly and warm environment
Always a positive experience
Wonderful coffee shop in the heart of downtown. Busy, but not busy in a loud way. The coffee is tasty, and the staff are awesome. A true gem in the city of Owen Sound. Start here and wander the stores or the river front with a delightful coffee.
Ive been going to Frog Ponds for years and have always loved it but today I had the most amazing beverage that just blew my mind! The Hazelnut Brownie Cappucino is amazing!! I normally just have straight espresso drinks and dont go in for syrups and shot but this drink changed my mind. The hazelnut and chocolate flavours are rich and full and compliment the espresso without being too sweet. Scrumptious!
Just all around an excellent experience
I was out for a casual walk, taking in the sites of historic buildings and a beautiful day. Stopped in for a delicious latte and some banana bread. Great staff and a cozy atmosphere. Kitchen was closed so Ill have to go back and try the food. Im sure it will be yummy too. I highly recommend checking this place out.
Very disappointing visit to the Frog Pond Cafe as tourists in Owen Sound. We were made to feel uncomfortable from the moment we walked in the door. No form of greeting when we walked in by any of the staff, the place was empty at that time. The customers that came in after us were all greeted by name and friendly banter. There was little or no customer service towards us other than the cashier. Unfortunately a hair was found in our food (understand that this can happen) and the response to pointing this out to staff was indifference. No apology nor mention of any form of compensation or refund of any kind. It was a very unpleasant experience especially as tourists who try to support local when we travel.
Best coffee in the city
Amazing sandwiches and flatbreads!!!
We walked around and there s lots of goodies to see
A lovely coffee shop in downtown Owen Sound.
Great staff and coffee is very fair size and espresso is best in Owen Sound
Best flat white in town.
Great little out of the way coffee place.
Nice place to get a drink, ive gone since it opened and the drinks are always good
Phenomenal experience. I can t believe I didn t know about this gem. I got an iced chai latte and a breakfast bagel sandwich for a very reasonable price and very outstanding quality! Was very fast and the atmosphere of sitting inside was great. Will definitely be back.
such a cute place great prices, quick service everything was clean and staff was great all the items tasted fresh
The paninis were absolutely delicious, especially the hummus pesto veggie one. Highly recommended!
The scones, coffee (espresso / latte) and atmosphere / decor are all really good! Highly recommended.
Great Sammies. Great people. Great coffee!!!
My absolute favourite spot. Amazing coffee, delicious food and lovely staff.
Overall great restaurant. Food, Service, Staff and Atmosphere.
Great little cafe. Nice atmosphere. Service is very good. Friendly staff. Good coffee, great choice of loose leaf teas. Nice treats to go with your coffee. Light lunch options too. Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to get in. Would accommodate a wheelchair.
Frog Ponds Cafe is a very nice little cafe. The prices for the beverages are very reasonable. I definitely would return and perhaps try a sandwich or wrap next time.
Came in on a Saturday morning for a breakfast. Everything was delicious. lovely seating area. staff were really friendly and quick to take and make your order. I can see myself coming there multiple time. Amazing experience.
Good place
Nice americanos but way out priced for your average down town resident. If more people could afford them they would have alot more business.
Wonderful cafe! Beautiful feel and great customer service
Great staff with just as great food and drinks!
I can t say enough good things about this cafe. I love it so so much. The vibe is amazing, the staff are so wonderful and the drinks and food are incredible. Kate especially is so delightful and adds such joy to my day with our brief conversations while she makes a latte for me. I may not get to be a daily customer, but frog pond is my favourite through and through
Friendly staff, delicious breakfast and good coffee
Everything is delicious in this little cafe, if you pass by owen sound. Come get an iced latte and a nice fresh bagel. Yummy.
Friendly staff. Great coffee. Bacon/egg/cheddar bagel was fresh but cheddar did not have a lot of flavour. Maybe should offer some hot sauce on the side?
Very cool little coffee shop.
Awesome!!!!!! The staff was very friendly, the naan sandwich was very tasty and they always make a very good Chai latte!
No seating due to covid but the drinks and pastries were yummy!
Amazing coffee, pastries and healthy breakfast options.
I really appreciate that this cafe has an amazing vegan option. And it s good. Usually non vegans places will have a boring veggie sandwich. Not this place!! They have a wonderful hummus pesto on marble rye bread that is lightly grilled. This sandwich is so good that I talk about on the regular. The have dairy free options for their coffees , as well
Elevated small town coffee shop with great sandwiches and coffees. I go here whenever I am in the area.
Cute coffee shop, perfect cup of dark roast coffee and yummy carrot cakes. Occasionally we order the chicken salad sandwich and it has never disappointed!!! Yumm. Sarah Evans
Excellent coffee and great atmosphere. My favourite downtown meeting place.
Great coffee, even the drip-Style was truly tasty! The date square was very nice as well. Thanks for the hospitality!!
Great local cafe.
Amazing.
I swear that I dont even have to speak my order out loud. Half of the time the staff are already preparing it when they see me crossing the road towards the café. Plenty of seating, always a lovely experience, and a great place to meet new people! Thanks Frog Ponds!
Nice selection of quality coffee and other drinks and food
Excellent coffee and service
Great place to meet, eat and have a great time!
Great coffee, friendly staff.
Glad to see that the Frog Pond is still alive and well! The fresh squeezed lemonade is still my favourite, and the coffee bar is well equipped to handle any caffeine-driven cravings. Worth supporting.
Excellent coffee, very friendly staff.
Great spot for coffee and sandwiches.
Love this place
I cant say enough good things about this little gem of a cafe, the staff are all so friendly - and the gluten free options are all so yummy!
I just had everyday bagel and a cappuccino. and those were really good. The staff was really good and polite. and the ambience is really good too. overall, a perfect way to start ur day with something filly yet on budget before a long drive. Easy to access as well and all the covid preventive measures are in place.
Had a business education day downtown at the Xchange office. The Frog Pond is perfectly situated for take out coffee urn (and fixings) and fresh made blueberry muffins for morning pick up! We then ordered ahead for our lunch break. The food was delicious, plentiful and ready on time! The staff are friendly and efficient. As Always a great spot for amazing coffee and great breakfast and lunch meals. Thank you again!
Excellent coffee and food items at an ultra reasonable price. I also cant say enough nice things about the staff - they are all amazing.
I love this place, best coffee in town and the staff are absolutely wonderful. They are so quick and deliver the food right to you. I love the background music they play and makes the atmosphere so relaxed.
Delicious coffee!! Everything is fresh and wonderful. Highly recommend their butter tarts.
Love the pond!
Nice place for a coffee and dessert in the center of Owen Sound
Love this place...good food, good service, great ambiance!
Always tasty coffee and delicious fresh made treats in a comfortable atmosphere.
Great coffee and scones
Always a solid for voice.
So many customizable drink options! Tea lovers paradise.
Great food, awesome cappuccino and amazing staff.
Friendly people, Great coffee.
Great friendly staff, nice quiet atmosphere
Great tea and coffee options as well as a full menu of sandwiches, salads etc. We love their cookies and it has a great atmosphere to meet with a friend, grab lunch etc.
Went here because the name sounded so fun, and Id say it lived up to the expectation. Wasnt blown away by anything, its a cute little place
Loved the place, great coffee, very nice scones, smoothies and don t forget to try the freshly brewed iced tea (we chose black currant). Loved it!
Very comfortable atmosphere, and staff is always friendly
Nice place to meet and relax. Friendly service.
Their London fogs are the best. I have never had one remotely at good as theirs.
Amazing place for lunch, snack or coffee!
Great atmosphere and good food!
The food and beverages are good and well priced. The service is great. My only complaint would be that the wifi is lousy.
Nice place to chat and have a coffee or two
Staff was friendly and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Nicely decorated interior and the portions are perfect. I got a bagel and a cappuccino and both were delicious. You have the option to take them to go but if you have the time I recommend having a seat and relaxing for your morning wakeup.
A lovely little spot to meet with friends for tea, sweet snacks, any type of coffee or a light lunch! Easy to find downtown on a main corner. Its fun to sit & watch the people go by....bright & cheerful with lots of windows! But you must be willing to walk from your parking spot. Parking is not provided.
nice staff, good food, loved the space and eco friendly
Have you tried their matcha tea latte or London Fog? No??? You havent lived! :)
Lovely place for a coffee. No dietary snacks (GF, SF, or LF), just a heads up. Service is great.
I liked this place a lot, it is very homey and the drink selection is fantastic. Drinking here is like drinking at Starbucks! There is seating but not quite enough for the traffic that goes through. Other than that, it is a great place to eat and drink. $$.
Best place Ive found for coffee in Owen Sound. Reasonable prices for good coffees. And plenty on the menu for a lunch or light breakfast. I enjoy a coffee at least a couple of times a week here. And never been disappointed with food or staff.
Great sandwiches, coffee, tea and Wifi
Great food, environment and people!
I love the coffee and the breakfast bagels are amazing. The staffs sre friendly.
Awesome drinks fun staff
Its a comfortable place for me.
A quiet place for quiet conversation. Vibrant and vivacious.
Great coffee...best early in the morning. Open to the sidewalk on sunny days. Lots of nice staff. Classy place.
Beautifully decorated, friendly service with all your favor coffee shop treats! Highly recommend if you are in Owen Sound.
Good staff, good coffee. They have a nice selection of coffee in a hipster kind of environment. A decent but limited lunch menu. If coffee is not your thing they have a solid vaeivar of teas. And try their smoothies. The chocolate monkey is one of our favourites. Busy downtown place with a nice vibe. They also occasionally have small music concerts in the evening.
Im a regular. Great coffee, great food, excellent gluten free options
Great coffee, good atmosphere, amazing food
Great food great service
Great food. Not so great coffee.
Nice place. Good stuff
Their coffee is decent and their prices are reasonable but I will not be back. A while ago I walked up with a friend to grab a coffee and a staff member ran to the door to lock it. He said through the glass that they were closed for a private function and that he had forgotten to lock the door earlier. There is a nice way to handle that situation and a rude way - unfortunately they chose the later. With so many competing coffee chains in the area, customer service is very important.
Good place to pop into and relax with a coffee and perhaps a tasty sandwich. Gluten free diet friendly.
Lovely atmosphere and great service
My favourite cafe in Owen Sound!
Good spinach salad
Nice coffee shop. Clean and friendly!
Great place
Daily regulars....Always a pleasant experience. Good coffee, great atmosphere, good food and efficient, courteous staff. Congrats for maintaining your high level of service. Cheers
Great to back again
If you need to stop for coffee on your way to the cottage I definitely recommend here! Way better than Starbucks or Timmies.
Fun place great food awesome service cant wait to visit again
Always a good atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Great coffee too! Closed Sundays though!
Great coffees and nice selection of treats to go with it. Variety of sandwiches too. Spacious, with plenty of seats and tables.
Love this cafe
Excellent coffee and food with a nice atmosphere!
Great soups and friendly staff.
Great for a quick lunch & free WiFi!
Visiting Owen Sound on a hockey tournament and was sad to see there were no Starbucks around. Found the Frog pong cafe after a quick google search. Their Americano is better than Starbucks and cheaper. Visited a few times over the weekend and the service and quality were excellent each time
Pretty impressed with my visit to Owen Sound. Great beans used here, thanks for my flat white
Nice relaxing corner coffee shop
Excellent coffee and customer service.
Nice spot
Nice bright and airy place to sit and relax with one of their many tasty beverages.
coffee lovers pit stop.the best in town.
Love the london fog. Mmmmm
