“So happy that we gave Sheer Yakh in the menu here in KW. I went with a friend to try it out once I saw it ok Social media. Its veryyy nice and refreshing and loved it. But they could use a little positive feedback. “I could taste more cardamoms and less sweetness. Also it was melting so fast and I could see there was not much heavy cream or condensed milk to make it thicker and not watery. If they could change these things it would turn out perfect. I loved it but it could be better. Just a friendly review nothing against them. Infact I want them to doo so good. Hope to be back there for more.”

“One of the greatest, hidden gems in Waterloo. The owner is super nice and the food is value - you can get fouralls ice cream here (for cheaper than fouralls)!!! Also the samosas are massive and quite good. They got boardgames to play, printing services and a section into the back to buy stationeries - honestly you can literally get anything here. Come through!”

13 The Funcken Café

4.0 Good 42 Reviews

290 Westmount Road North, Waterloo · 7.65 miles

“I’ve been going to Funcken throughout my university years, and it’s honestly one of the most underrated spots on Waterloo campus. It’s tucked inside St. Jerome’s, and a lot of people don’t even know it’s there. It’s a small, student-run café with a really cozy vibe. They always have cute seasonal decorations, board games, and lots of seating (though it can get pretty busy, especially in the fall). Their drinks are way better than you’d expect from a campus cafe. The chai latte and matcha latte are both so good. But my favorite thing is the Build Your Own Bagel. You can customize it however you want with a little paper form, and it’s super affordable; usually around $5 for a full sandwich that’s actually filling. The pretzel bagel is my top pick, but it does sell out sometimes. My usual order is the pretzel bagel with sun-dried tomato cream cheese, honey mustard, spicy pickled peppers (I think they’re banana peppers?), lettuce, onion, provolone, and sometimes tomato. It’s seriously so good. They also have a build-your-own sandwich combo, and I think some gluten-free options too. Just something to keep in mind—if you’re vegetarian or have dietary restrictions, they cook things like eggs and their grilled cheese on the same surface as bacon. Service is usually fast and the staff are always kind and friendly. The wait is usually just a couple minutes. I also love the little whiteboard they put out with random names of the day. If your name’s on it, you get a deal, which is such a fun touch. All in all, Funcken is such a great place to grab a warm drink or a cheap and tasty lunch. It definitely deserves more love.”

14 Byte 75 Coffee & Social

3.9 Good 17 Reviews

52 University Avenue West, Waterloo · 8.58 miles

“My favourite place for coffee right now! The staff are extremely friendly and always make the effort to ask how your day is and get to know you if you regularly go. They have the best caramel latte I have ever had, and their food selection is awesome too. The food menu generally changes daily with some staples. I come here every weekday for a latte and to study. There is plenty of light in the seating area, the only thing I wish they had was more outlets.”

“They have one of the most nicest staff on campus. The tomato bisque and the melts are INCREDIBLE. To be honest everything I ate here is really good. Got to be the best on campus. Come here in the mornings for breakfast as they have minimum line and lot of options. Worth coming here even if you are not a SAF student or have classes here.”

Don't forget to get it stamped!The gluten free, dairy free lemon cookie is a bit messy but delicious and the gluten free, dairy free peppermint party is also fantastic, though messy as well. Definitely need napkins lol.”

20 Ev3rgreen Cafe

3.4 Good 17 Reviews

200 University Avenue West, Waterloo · 7.6 miles

“Evergreen Coffee Lounge in Ingersoll, Canada, offers a truly distinctive ambiance that sets it apart from other coffee shops in the area. The setup is inviting and creates a perfect atmosphere for relaxation or work. I spent several hours working at their bespoke wood table (featured in the images). The table is high enough to be used as a stand-up desk, complemented by high-top chairs.\n\nDespite not typically opting for gluten-free snacks, I was thoroughly impressed by their offerings. The cinnamon cake roll, carrot cake bite, and date cookie sandwich were exceptionally delicious and dangerously good! The customer service is top-notch, making the experience even more enjoyable.\n\nEvergreen Coffee Lounge is a must-visit for anyone seeking great coffee, delightful treats, and excellent service. Cheers!”
