44 Best Cafes near Conestogo

“Today I enjoyed my coffee and delicious lunch upstairs. As I waited for my order, I discovered several unique items in the other room. Books that reminded me of my childhood and beautiful decor items I could add to my own home or purchase as a gift for someone else. Thank you for setting up this beautiful area to enjoy.“

“Wonderful food, fantastic interior, and great location--on Northfield, between Bridge and University. Also a community-minded business. A must-visit establishment. Dog-friendly for well-behaved dogs on leashes. (I'm not a dog person, and I didn't feel nervous for a second.)“

“This is a such a cute place with lots of room. the coffee is very good, my favorite is a cafe misto with cinnamon steamed in the milk. I enjoy collaborating with Eco Cafe for fun events. great place, don't miss it!“

“A friend took me here for lunch on December 9. I had the most wonderful tomato soup and sandwich. I was asked if I wanted a Christmas tree in my soup and I said I wanted Santa and his sleigh, and it happened! I Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I love this place, it is wonderful. Has a lot of games“

“My favourite cafe. Creative high quality drinks and treats at a reasonable price. Both the Blue Icii and Pandan Mochi were delicious. Friendly staff and beautifully decorated. I just love it! Its also not busy during weekdays Ive noticed.

Update: I’ve visited way too many times to count since this review and wanted to share that the quality has remained consistent, friendly staff, quick service, and the ambiance of the cafe is so charming and cozy. They also host a variety of unique events like gilmore girl nights and craft events which I think is amazing! It’s a really nice spot to people watch, read, or draw.

My new favourite menu item (which I’ve had 4 times), is their blueberry earl grey matcha. I hope they make it a permanent menu item it’s SO GOOD. Even if you’re not a blueberry fan it just tastes so fresh and delightful and perfect you need to try it. I have also had their cherry blossom donut, raspberry scone, orange sherbet drink (I can’t remember the exact name), cereal milk latte and they’ve all been great.“

“Had lunch there today for the first time, didn't have enough cash on hand.....they offered to buy my lunch! I managed to find enough coin to cover the cost! The sandwich was fantastic! I will definitely be a repeat customer! This is customer service at its best 😊“

“community atmosphere, healthy food“

“The Grove Cafe is a a great place to get some work done. OR just go for a little date. The coffee is delicious! They also do fun event nights and is pet friendly. I recommend to everyone to go here.“

“Great lunch spot in the village's old General Store. Food was delicious home style cooking and inexpensive. I highly recommend it“

“Stopped in for some coffee and a snack. Welcoming staff, nutritious and quality food, and the coffee was great too!😀“

“I regularly get my bread, streusel, pretzel buns and the best traditional German Christmas cookies (just like my Mom made). Recently I tried the Mountain Tip dessert. OMG. They use real Jamaican rum and it is delectable. I just love everything they make.“

“Incredible Breakfast place. I got a Chive and Cheddar Scone and a Bacon Buddy.

First of all the scone...i got a cheddar and chive scone and it was unbelievable! Soft, flakey and full of flavour. Hands down best ive had in town...better than the Sconery!
I then got the bacon buddy breakfast sandwich. I gotta say the price put me off..$17 for a breakfast sandwich is alot....but it was worth it! The bread is a fresh made croissant like bun. The egg was perfectly cooked. The bacon was thick and not to salty. The whole thing just melted in the mouth. It's the second best breakfast sandwich I've ever had and well worth the money.
Then it came with home fries which I did not realize when I ordered. Again surprised by the quality. I don't love home fries but these were well cut, fried crispy outside and fluffy inside. I finished them all.
Highly recommend. I will be back.“

“I went there today with my wife for a date and the cafe is beautiful and so are the people working there.

I loved seeing people of Christ coming together and serving. This gives me so much joy, I will definitely be sharing about this cafe in my church community.“

“I have an extra large latte in a large cup every day at Balzacs in the Tannery Building. The baristas are top notch and the space is beautiful. Thanks for bringing fabulous coffee to Kitchener!“

“Whether it is sitting and writing in my journal, or if I need to focus and work on my laptop, or simply having a chat over coffee with a friend, i find Cafe22 to be one of the most special cafes in the Kitchener-Waterloo area! I am so grateful I found this special spot, which I consider a hidden gem! An absolutely charming, cozy, and relaxing atmosphere and decoration; delicious food and beverages; and most importantly an extremely kind and welcoming staff! I have to say that Daniela’s friendliness and genuine care and warmth add a lot to the whole experience as well! Highly recommended!“

“Stopped by this morning, on my walk home from a nearby appointment. The sign, outside, advertising today's soup (Red lentil with mint a a touch of Lemon) had my mouth watering. Bought some for lunch but bought the Fruit and Seed square to have with my morning coffee. It was perfect!!“

“Best selection of local craft beer and cider around.“

“Good vibe. One of the best places to drink coffee and study in Waterloo, although plug outlets are hard to find. Many of the chairs are cheap and uncomfortable; probably by design to keep flipping customers.“

“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!“

“Best place in Kitchener downtown for brunch. We ordered mushroom soup, vegan BLT, breakfast burritos and lavender latte. I loved all of them.

Service can be improved. I think the person who takes orders doesn’t communicate everything to the kitchen. I told him that I need vegan breakfast burritos but since I am vegetarian I can get regular sour cream as a side instead of vegan side which they didn’t deliver to me. Also we mentioned that we need soup first and latte later. That person gave us latte just before soup, which I politely told him that I don’t want latte right now. So he took it back and gave after sandwich and burritos arrived, but he could have considered my instructions at first.

Other than that everything is perfect. Will definitely visit again.“

“Max brings such a pleasant vibe to my dining experience. He took my order, made the food and then served it, literally what can’t he do. I brought my boyfriend, Nick with me when I went last time and neither of us could take our eyes off the perfect man. Give him all the accolades because he deserves them. Love the roast beef sandwich thing!“

“Very friendly service, good atmosphere, daily special was inexpensive, fast, delicious and healthy! Plus supporting a good cause. �“

“My favourite place to be. I can gladly call this place home. Delicious coffee, amazing food and the best people. Thank you Laketa family. ❤️“

“Rose Cafe in Town it is rare to find such a beautiful place, relaxing and tasty food. My husband and I go there for a date as it is not only food but the vibe is needed after a busy and hectic day. Yes the items might be more expensive than other places, However we should remember that we are paying for something unique, the place, the food. Highly recommended for relaxing and good food . Respectfully.“

“Great lunch options and you get to watch the planes!“

“Overall probably the best option to eat in campus. Very cheap. Lot of options from all around, from korean bibimbap to Indian samosas and indian rice dishes. Present also quinoa salads, soups, coffee, etc.

Vegetarian options: Several veg options! Especially indian options. Some examples: samosas, falafel wraps, bibimbap with tofu, veg patty.“

“Best quiche in town. No regret that I ever came and visit one of the finest bakery in Waterloo, ON.“

“Delicious vegan baked goods and coffees. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love Full of Beans, whenever I'm in the neighborhood I make sure to drop in. Excellent freshly roasted beans, delicious sweets and a relaxing, yet vibrant atmosphere. Don't miss going in for a great cup of coffee when you are nearby“

“A great local place to get a coffee and/or beans - I usually get about 2 bags a month for home. I’ve done delivery a few times, and it was fast and accurate. I usually just get Thunder Peel, which I find really consistently gets a good espresso on my machine - my preference is for beans that are 14 to 28 days after roast date, but in Covid times I’m less picky! 😂“

“Best on campus: cookies, prices, atmosphere.“

“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.“

“I absolutely adore this place! I come almost every day and the staff have made a wonderful effort to get to know me as a regular. They have my drink order memorized and are very bubbly. Food is great and clearly made from quality ingredients. Latte art is an added bonus every now and then ;)“

“The vanilla hazel nut coffee is fantastic and they have gluten free, dairy free treats too. They also have a loyalty card, so you get a free coffee after purchasing a few. 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.“

“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!“
