Very good Coffee, best one i had in Canada so far. The Cinnamon Roll was really good too, freshly made and nice and Crispy but not dry, moist and flavourful on the inside. Crispy on the Outside. Staff was really friendly and explained the difference between Flat White and Latte and made me the perfect Iced Latte

Yesterday was a truly radiant day, perfect for a revitalizing adventure. My best friend Susan and I spent a couple of hours at Tilda's Cafe, where we always discover new sources of inspiration. This time, Susan savored their renowned Latte and enjoyed a satisfying Turkey sandwich for lunch, which she relished due to its exceptional flavor. I indulged in a perfectly brewed Chai tea that lifted my spirits, accompanied by a yummi-licious pastry. We thrived in the vibrant atmosphere of the new area of White Pine Books adjacent to Tilda's Cafe, where we always feel invigorated. Seated on plush couches, we reveled in our lunch, feeling grateful for this enriching experience. Tilda's Cafe is our go-to haven in town, where every visit is a beautiful, fun experience...

Cute and quaint little coffee shop attached to a home goods store. Plenty of seating with natural lighting available. Staff were friendly and can make a mean good latte. Their beans are so smooth and tasty. Would recommend a stop by for a cup of joe if you’re in town!

If I could give more than five stars, I would! Karleigh and Josh are incredible and so is what they dish out — 12/10 for the latte, turkey sandwich, cinnamon rolls, and caramel chocolate pretzel brownies! Officially my favourite place in Arnprior and I can’t wait to go back tomorrow for more

Everything I've had here is delicious. From their chai lattes to their sammies. It's my go-to in town for a little date, lunch with the kids or a catch up with kids. Owners are fantastic and really proud of what they've built. Which they should be.
