Coffee Matters — Restaurant in Paradise

I really wanted to love this place as it's local and close to where I live! However, I've given the drive-thru a few chances and every time it's incredibly slow, despite there being no line-up. I don't expect the same speed as a chain restaurant, but 5-minutes for a single, plain coffee is too long when nobody else is in drive-thru. Once I ordered 3 drinks and waited almost 15-minutes! Also haven't found staff to be very friendly, in drive-thru or inside (three different staff...). Also had the soup once and it was very bland, not worth what I paid. The coffee is just okay, and the one speciality drink I had was good.

I'm leaving this review in hopes that it encourages improvements in customer service...

After walking what felt like the entirety of St. John’s one morning, we decided to stop for a quick breakfast bite and a coffee. We opened up google maps and BAM! Coffee Matters was half a block away. With our last bit of energy we pushed through our exhaustion (dramatic) and came into a relaxed, cool, chill coffee house with locals, out province’rs?? And people from around the globe. Staff are friendly and attentive, food was perfectly portioned, and the cost was equal to what we’re used to spending in Toronto, aka ‘The Center of the Universe’… at least that’s what Torontonians think.

All and all, great spot and we left...

Gourmet drive thru food. Delicious, fast, & friendly. We went here on our 2nd Anniversary to reminisce. We met at the Coffee Matters in Mount Pearl in 2017, which sadly burnt down & later closed. Don't forget to ask for your receipt. We didn't get ours. Too bad, as this was the reason why we went there to get a souvenir for our Anniversary scrap book. Food is good, however a bit pricey. $34 for sandwich combo (no drinks) with pasta salad & a cookie. It included home made...
