45 Best Cafes near Conestogo

“This place is great for pictures for sure!!

Food is not bad based on the price and the fact that they make it fresh. Service could be better, not that they are rude but yea the guy didn’t seem to be very happy about any questions I asked (I believe he is the owner).

The whole place takes you to a very cozy old rustic time in a family house. It looks marvellous. We sat in the backyard and it looked amazing.“

“I’ve been coming here for over 10 years for lunch. Every time the food is perfect! Can’t recommend it enough :)“

“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.“

“Spacious, good food (limited selection of food, good for a big snack), and it wasn't too loud. Good selection of games for our group of 9. For "Telestrations" I went up to ask for working dry erase markers and the server was able to help. Telestrations is always good for a laugh. All in all a good experience.

I had the tortillas with (temperature) hot nacho dip and jalepeños on the side. The dip was also spicy and good. My total spend was just over $20 with 15% tip and tax (Nov 16, 2024). We also played "Hues and Cues" and "Taboo".“

“Love to come here with my dog for a nice breakfast and coffee. Very kind staff. I highly recommend the Breaky sandwich.“

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

“A lovely gentleman brought me a loaf of whole wheat bread from City Cafe as a thank... it was the most delicious bread we've enjoyed in a long time! Thanks so much Rudolph! It was a wonderful gesture and I will be sure to pass it on!“

“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.)“

“Lovely staff and my soy decaf latte and biscuit were delicious, thanks!“

“First date night since landing in Kitchener. Something new to both of us. It was welcoming and very chill. Staff were friendly and helpful.“

“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!“

“Biked to St Jacob’s and found this small coffee shop and ice cream place. Had a cappuccino and a slice of the lemon cake, both delicious. The young woman serving was excellent, very friendly and helpful, checked which milk for the cappuccino and gave me a China cup when I told her that I’d stay in. There was a water station too where I could refill my water bottle. I will be back to try some of the breakfast sandwiches .“

“One of the best brunch spots in town. Counter service but very friendly. Limited menu but all is well prepared and nicely presented and tasty!

Expect to fight for a table as there are many singles treating this more like a coffee shop and setting up their office. Wifi is limited to 2 hours. Blankets are provided for those sitting on the patio.“

“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.“

“The perfect healthy, fresh lunch spot! There’s a variety of salads, meals and snacks with lots of gluten free options. Morgan is creative with the menu, shaking it up with the seasons. My favourites are the peanut pad thai and fiesta bowl. Definitely recommend, it’s now my go-to lunch spot in KW!“

“Very friendly staff, comfortable sitting area and great food/coffees“

“Found this hidden gem. Amazing fresh food options. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommended!“

“We visited from ottawa. It was packed always a good sign! The staff were busy but very friendly as well the customers were all lovely making space to get around.

The food was delicious and fresh. Our group had vegan BLT and burrito; and non vegan omlet and "the Doug" sandwich.
Thanks for a lovely breakfast. Love the bright cozy eclectic interior. See you next visit.“

“Wonderful little cafe specializing in German/Austrian treats. I had a slice of black forest cake, a cherry danish and a nougat ring. The cake had real kirsch flavour and delicious cream and made me very happy. The nougat ring was something i had never seen before and it was delightful. Dark chocolate covered a crunchy base of fresh short crust with a nougat and chopped nuts between. Really good. The cherry danish was better than the typical store bought but the pastry was a bit heavy.An elderly couple was running the store and were very sweet. The store is very small and is cash only so be prepared.“

“Not only are the food and beverages incredible, but the staff and the owner are so kind and always bring a smile to my face. One of my favourite places to study and eat :)“

“Amazing Coffee Cart Experience at Our Wedding This Past Weekend!“

“I love the coffee here! My flat white is by far the best I’ve had since I arrived in the region. The ambience is relaxed, and the internet connection is stable and fast. The barista is very friendly and pleasant to talk with. This place is indeed perfect for studying and chilling out.“

“With my sister and her husband new to the neighbourhood, we googled coffee shops near by and came across this delightful place. Very clean, fresh flowers in each table!!, inviting staff and atmosphere, and the food and coffee were great! We’ll be back!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“The best rental place in Waterloo. Reasonable price, ensuite bathroom, laundry room in each Apt and best management ever I have seen.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ;)“

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

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

“They are very nice here. I wish that I could afford their unique treats! But actually, sometimes I can!... because Cafe Pyrus regularly donates their day olds to us less-capables by way of the community fridges around back... The ones that... drum roll... happen to be the best community pantry/fridge location in all K-W! Yeah, woo! Literally the coolest. Two fridges.

Don't worry, only a handful of us desperate souls are feral to the point of scattering countless items around ourselves while repacking our bags after grabbing some gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip muffins from the back, muttering incoherently. Even fewer would dare approach the seating area. Oh no. Not with the laundered smell of the middle class wafting around from the front, dancing around the small wooden cabin along with the echoes of lighthearted smalltalk and laughs that know no despair beyond grandma's hip surgery, which, huh, I guess ranks highly. Me, I do my best to twist a smile of greeting onto my face whenever I make the mistake of shuffling up from around the back corner of the building during open hours, suddenly in full view of happy families on rainbow picnic tables eating snacks, as parents try not to visibly tense up and I try to twist directly towards the pantry door and claw it open, desperate to make it clear as quickly as possible that I am not coming any closer or making needless eye contact. Phew. Thats why we mostly come at night. Mostly.

Please oh please will this make Google stop requesting my review over and over again?“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Like all the on campus food places it is really expensive but forced to buy here as I have a meal plan. Beware of the weigh your plate option as prices add up fast. I am from REV and it is worth the 5 minute walk as Mudies has much more options. CMH is a little bigger though. Food is decent, not terrible. If you are able to eat off campus, I would recommend it due to the really high prices.“

“Good coffee , good location“

“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.“

“Was in Kitchener recently to visit the local markets (Kitchener Market, St Jacobs Market). The afternoon settled in and wanted to try some of the local coffee shops. Headed to this place which is located next to the GO Station.

What a lovely place. The service was amazing. I had a cortado which was prepared perfectly. The interior is very inviting, the kind of place you can hang out for hours with a good book or getting some work done.

Check this place out“

“Every Saturday morning me and my friend will make sure we stop at this Cafe. They are now a part of our Saturday ritual! Coffee is always delicious and consistant. I will try everything on the menue but for now our favorite is the Smoked Caramel Icecap! The owner is absolutely AMAZINGLY AWESOME and her staff is frendly and efficient! Keep up the awesome work please!!! My only regret is I can't get here through out the work because i work to far away 😭“
