CF Shops at Don Mills

Best Starbucks I’ve ever been in! Excellent, friendly and welcoming staff. Non of that typical garbage, pretentious staff attitude that most every Starbucks fosters. Excellent vibe! Large space. Ample seating. Nice and clean. Well maintained . Ample free parking. Great shopping all around.

Visiting Ontario for the first time, I had grand ambitions of exploring the GTA, but truth be told, the Shops at Don Mills had everything I needed for my first foray into Canada. I was here to see my girlfriend—she’s Canadian, I’m American—and this little pocket of North York quickly became the perfect backdrop for my trip. From grabbing breakfast at Pablo’s, browsing collectibles and graphic novels at Conspiracy Comics, indulging in sweets at The Danish Pastry Shop, and even stopping by Pizza Pizza for a quick bite, I was thoroughly entertained and well-fed. The convenience of Metro for essentials, the ambiance at Añejo, and the variety of shops made it easy to settle in and enjoy the area without feeling the need to rush off elsewhere. Beyond the shopping and dining, though, what really made Don Mills special was the experience. I had a romantic walk here, taking in the atmosphere with my girlfriend, and even got caught in my first-ever Canadian blizzard right in the heart of the Shops. That moment—the swirling snow, the city lights reflecting off the fresh powder, and the warmth of good company—made the place unforgettable. For a visitor, it’s a perfect little hub of activity, offering a blend of comfort and exploration without the overwhelming sprawl of downtown Toronto. The Shops at Don Mills now hold a special place in my heart, and I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town.

This is a nice shopping center. With a pleasant outdoor and walking area/pathway. There are also a good number of restaurants and shops to eat and spend time at. We had a great time. Would recommend.

I’ve visited this location twice and both times, the staff were friendly and accommodating. I was early for my second appt. and I was offered a trial head massage. I was more than satisfied both times I went- one for a hair up do and the other, a haircut. They have talented staff and you can tell they take extra care and and have pride for the service they provide. I’ve always felt comfortable and relaxed in this location. I leave feeling great after my visits.
