11 Best Cafes near Waterloo

“Took a nice stroll through the Outlet Mall and stumbled upon a unique cafe that had a Bodega environment and an amazing experience! I wanted a smoothie, got a nice banana pineapple blend and an iced coconut mocha. Really great time chatting with Sam and he def made a new customer“

“Stopped In for a quick bite….never been before. Food was great!!!! Love the atmosphere…small, quaint, very friendly. Exactly what you would expect from a hometown restaurant. Would recommend.“

“My wife and I loved our meal. Great portions (way more than we expected) as everyone around us was basically boxing food up to go. It was our first time in the casino to eat at the restaurant. Our waitress was nice and patient with us and attentive even though she was busy I will 100% come back.“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The staff treat you like family, the food is incredible and the atmosphere is second to none!“

“Patti, our server was engaging and funny. She made sure we had everything we needed, even spoons! She deserved a much larger tip than we left.“

“Love finding little cafes like this. Carmela was our waitress and she was great! My husband and I stopped in on our way to cooperstown and it was the best sausage gravy! Thank you!“

“Given the area, this place was a welcome treat. Their menu is clearly labeled and changes often. Nice outdoor seating. We ordered 2 salads, a Beyond Burger, a Big A** pretzel, artichoke hush puppies, and had fried sunchokes(!). Salads were great (tough to get a good salad around here), Beyond burger was delish, artichoke hush puppies were great if you are a fan of hush puppies, and sunchokes are a delight just for existing! Unfortunately, the pretzel was dry and bread-y. It was our least fave item and wouldn't recommend it.“

“I am not a reviews person by any means but I always look at the reviews of places before trying them - this place is worth the review. The owner is SO sweet and their pups are the cutest. The owners husband is always a wonderful conversation. The baked good are phenomenal - if they have muffins, GRAB ONE. Their coffee is soooo good. They make their own pumpkin puree, which is even better. The breakfast sandwich was killer. Once we found this place, we continuously keep coming back. We are bummed that our vacation is over, we will miss this place. It’ll always be a staple when we come back!“

“Love it all. Cakes are the best ever“

“We were in Geneva for the first time for one night only and luckily found this gem through a Google search. Tricia, our waitress, was warm and walked us through the menu. All the sauces, meatballs and sausages are made onsite. It made choosing very difficult! Our table chose lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs arrabbiata , and penne in vodka sauce. Warm bread was plentiful. Every dish was delicious and more than we could eat (they do offer the option to split a plate for a small fee). There is a dessert case that is full of desserts made fresh locally. We shared the lemon cake, which was heavenly and more than enough for the three of us. If we find ourselves in Geneva again, we will absolutely be back to Bella’s!“
