My husband and I were in town recently and stopped in at the Kingfisher Cafe. What a little gem in the neighborhood! We each got a panini, my husband got the Nutella latte, and I got an iced caramel cappuccino. Altogether we paid 24. The paninis were delicious made with real turkey (not cold cuts), and the lattes were delicious. The staff were lovely and that atmosphere is exactly what I look for in a cafe. Glad we were able to stop by before heading home to London - I wish London had this place to call our own!

A fantastic spot in Simcoe, as a new resident I thought I would check out a local coffee shop for a morning of work and I wasn’t disappointed. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone in the area. Lots of space to work, different spaces and the coffee was great. I will absolutely be back.

During my visit at Kingfisher Cafe I was served by Amanda who was the kindest, and most welcoming server. She made me a FANTASTIC matcha latte, and I will be coming back again for more!

Was looking for a place locally to work on my laptop and grab a snack and found this cafe right in town. Owner and manager were both super friendly and welcoming to this bright cafe space. Huge interior with tons of options for seating including the most comfortable couch room at the back of the cafe which makes you feel like you’re lounging in a cool living room. Amazing coffee, bake goods from a local bakery and light snacks (panini’s and bagels). I ordered the most amazing blueberry lemon scone, London fog and Apple, Honey & Cheese Pannini and all was extremely delicious not to mention extremely well priced. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

James and his family is doing amazing. The atmosphere and friendliness of the owners is incredible. The quality of the coffee and espresso is equally matched to the service.
