Honestly, the best. And I have had A LOT of sampling from various independent coffee shops all over down town. This place is a very serious contender and we could not be happier to have them so close to our home!! (The saddest thing for me, moving out of downtown, was the lack of real decent coffee in my life. No longer an issue). Our cappuccinos, lattes and Americano'swere always complete perfection. The baristas make each and every drink with the same amount of attention and care, as if they are making you their best one yet. Just, Every. Single. Time.
And then the staff: everyone is friendly. Like, genuinely pleasant and friendly. Not pretentious, not "fake". Just effortless, small town care, sort of sincere nice.
My recommendation from the cookie selection: Nutella or coffee toffee cookies are both very solid options for satiating those chocolate chip cookie needs that come with a good coffee.
Amazing Latte, probably best I ever had! I'm a coffee commissure and demand perfection on my espresso as a good Sicilian! Service was impeccable with my extended adjustments! As a new cycle in town is awesome!
Luv this place. Drop in whenever I can bike to Stouffville for my 30 to 60 K rides. Get a prepaid card, best thing for cycling and getting your latte fix. Like the Velo Rouge Jerseys, nice work folks, glad your on the road. They are open early for those before work rides and weekend morning early escapes. Patrons are very friendly great spot.
Came here 5 years ago and was very happy they were still here. The owner recognized me even after so many years. My wife and I celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary and had our coffee time here.
Great coffee, professional staff, and a very friendly atmosphere! Looked busy but the turnaround was really really quick!
Best coffee place in Stouffville!!!! We go every weekend.
After many drinks I have found the one I love....
Great cofffes, snacks and services. Try the autumn latter...
Tasty drinks, treats, and sandwiches. Bonus: service is always great!
As cities and towns move more and more to big box and chain stores, Red Bulb breathes life into the local proprietorship. Serving not just coffee, but a sense of community that is all too often missing in this day and age. Kudos to Chee Yuen and his staff who make every visit a personal experience!
I have always loved stopping into Red Bulb for a great coffee but we recently hired them to help cater for an event with approx. 250 people. The staff were amazing to work with, they were very helpful and did whatever they could to make sure everything went well. Preparing and serving coffee for 250 people was easy with our friends at Red Bulb!
Regular stop when cycling on weekends. The man pulls a wonderful americano.
My go to place always!! Love RB!! Best coffee! I use to be Starbucks fan but now I only have eyes for RB :) we moved to Stouffville this past fall from Downtown Toronto...I tell people we moved here for Red Bulb :) you kids are great!! Happy holidays to you all, The Jones Family DW&G xo
If you have ever taken the Go Train then chances are you have walked into Red Bulb Espresso Bar. Their staff is always very happy and welcoming and even on those cold winter mornings have a smile on their face and wish you a great day. At times they even strike up a quick conversation that doesn't seem forced at all. I just wanted to acknowledge them for being who they are and always providing a great experience. Check them out if you haven't already.
The best espresso and coffee in Stouffville or Markham! Great treats as well and a fantastic spot to stop after a walk, run or bike ride. They offer a variety of teas for tea lovers as well. Great local business.
Delicious Caramel latte and pecan square! Chewy, buttery edges...Will come back for this alone!
Cute place, friendly staff....only 4.5 as I didn't think the Americano was anything special.
Best coffee shop in GTA, visit most days, great people, great coffee, great tea and great food , they always make you feel like you are at home!!!!!!
Red Bulb Espresso Bar though not in Markham but only 10 minutes or so drive North... and it is a lovely addition to the Stouffville neighbourhood.
The interior of Red Bulb is nicely decorated... bright and airy with a lot of little decorations on the wall (needlepoint crafts, wondering if the owners got them from garage sales!)
The Seasonal Gingerbread Latte is delicious! :) Just like drinking my dessert which my friend probably thinks it is just so not right for a real espresso bar experience.
OK! I am green with envy!! I want one of this espresso bar in Markham!! I want to be able to get a good latte at 5:30 AM (damn this people are hardworking)! I want to able to chill out and surf the Internet with a good cup of Joe!
For now on, I guess the only option is to hop in my car with my laptop and drive myself up to Red Bulb!
Love this spot. Smiles and first names go great with coffee!
My new favorite coffee spot, soooooo nice to not have to go to Toronto to get a proper latte. Great people, nice staff & no pretentiousness 5/5!
Second visit. Had coffee first time ... Not good. Had caramel latte second time and it was fabulous!
Simply the best service in all GTA. The servers get your name and remember you regular order. Atrongly recommend the White chocolate mocha and the Cafe bonbon
Love this place!! Everything I have tried is absolutely delicious. Right now they have a nutella hot chocolate that is to die for!
Mocha,and Ghana Hot chocolate. Single Origin Ghana chocolate sauce is used to make the Mochas and Hot Chocolate ! Very Rich and yummy. And Red Bulb is also the distributor of this chocolate sauce in Ontario.
