We’re closed Sunday and Monday to enjoy this beautiful Thanksgiving weekend with our family and friends. We’re so grateful for all of you and the wonderful community that supports us year-round. Wishing you a lovely long weekend filled with good food, good company, and a little time to slow down. We’ll be back Tuesday at 7 a.m., with the coffee brewing and your favourites waiting! Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Cait’s Café! #CaitsCafe
The Square is OPEN, the construction is FINALLY over, and we’re celebrating with a little throwback to where it all began!
After two very long years of construction, we’re bringing back our original farmers’ market booth, right outside the café, complete with those familiar green boxes that so many of you hunted down every Saturday morning for your croissant fix. If you know, you know!
And because it’s Thanksgiving weekend, we’ve brought back another old favourite: Pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust!
This recipe goes right back to the early days of our business and has made many appearances at our own family Thanksgivings since. Thanks to a very special customer who ordered one this year, we decided it was time to share the love and make mini versions for everyone!
We’re open 7–5 TODAY!
Bring the family, enjoy the celebrations, and come see the Square without the construction fences! Or sneak away for a few precious minutes of peace, coffee and cheesecake before the holiday chaos begins. We support both approaches.
And don’t forget to STOCK UP! We’ll be closed Sunday and Monday to enjoy some Thanksgiving time with our own families.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Cait’s Café! We’re especially thankful for this wonderful community that has supported us through ten years of croissants, coffee, and, most recently, two years of construction. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🧡 #CaitsCafe
Concord grape danish is insane. The quality of my social media may have taken a dive lately and I have crumbs in my hair but my goodness am I happy I got a taste of that! #caitscafe #grapedanish
Sending warm wishes to all who are returning to school tomorrow! We will be closed on Tuesday, September 8, and back to our regular hours on Wednesday (7 days a week from 7am-5pm). #CaitsCafe
Focaccia, lightly grilled and cut into rectangles. Bacon, crisp. Two slices cut into squares, one piece left whole. Chocolate croissant, cut into rectangles. Milk, but in the tiny glasses. Obviously.
One child knows exactly what she wants, how she wants it, and will absolutely notice if you deviate from the brief.
The other is mostly here for a good time, but somehow also has very strong opinions about bacon geometry.
Breakfast around here is less “What would you like?” and more “Please submit your specifications to the kitchen.”
But I suppose there are worse things than raising two little people who know exactly what they like. 😂❤️ What are some bizarre food specifications that come from your kitchen? #CaitsCafe
It’s hard to believe summer is already coming to an end! Somehow September snuck up on us while we were busy eating ice cream and pretending bedtime didn’t matter.
If you’re soaking up one last long weekend, come see us! We’re open 7 AM–5 PM all weekend, including Labour Day Monday. Stop by for coffee, wander downtown, enjoy the Salt Festival, and squeeze every last drop out of summer in Goderich.
We also have some VERY good news!
For the past 10 years, the Tuesday after Labour Day has marked the beginning of our annual three-day café closure. But this year, we’re changing things up!
We’ll be CLOSED Tuesday only, then back to our regular hours Wednesday and for the rest of the week.
After 10 years, we’ve finally decided that three days without you is simply too long.
Here’s to one last beautiful summer weekend, the start of a new season, and plenty of coffee to ease us all back into reality.
Closing at 3 today (Wednesday, August 19th). So many of you came in despite our front door being inaccessible- thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We only have Spencer and 1 other team member on today, so they need a chance to close up shop. Thank you for understanding 🙂 #CaitsCafe
Our peach danish is back for a limited time only! What’s your favourite seasonal fruit danish? This one is at the very top of my list 🙂 #CaitsCafe #PeachDanish #Ontarioswestcoast #GoderichBIA
We love you, Goderich. And we love all of you who have travelled from near and far to spend this incredible week with us. ❤️
To all of our Celtic College participants: squeeze every second out of that lunch break! Place your order online and we’ll have it ready in about 15 minutes. Skip the line, head straight to our Online Order Pick-Up Shelf, grab your lunch and get back to the music.
We’re so grateful for this community, for the energy you bring to our little town, and for every single person who chooses to spend part of their day with us.
We’re looking for baristas + cooks to join the Cait’s Café team, with full-time and part-time year-round positions available.
This is a busy café, and the right people for us are those who like to move, notice what needs doing, jump in without being asked, and take pride in doing things properly.
We’re looking for people who: • Have experience in a fast-paced, high-standard environment • Stay calm and productive when it gets busy • Take initiative • Care deeply about customer experience • Support the team and our shared vision of Coffee. Community. Cuisine. • Want to learn and get better
You’ll learn a ton about coffee, food, hospitality, teamwork, and what it takes to run a strong independent café.
Weekend availability is required. Great tips. No late nights. We close at 5pm and are usually out by 6.
If you like a slower pace or waiting to be told what to do, this probably isn’t the job for you. If you love being busy, learning, and working with people who care about doing things well, we’d love to meet you.
