5. The Black Sheep Lounge

Welland, Ontario

One of the most beloved coffee shops in Niagara is The Black Sheep Lounge. The focus at this bohemian hangout is art. Indeed, proceeds from the shop go to support local artists. As such, The Black Sheep frequently hosts concerts, art exhibitions, and other creative events.
