32 Best Cafes near Elmira

“Absolutely love this local gem in our small town. Friendly, knowledgeable staff with a relaxing atmosphere with wifi to get some work done if needed or a visit with some friends! Can’t wait to return🤍“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“community atmosphere, healthy food“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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“
