14 Best Cafes in Kitchener

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 😊“

“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.“

“Best Cake shop in Kitchener. Nothing beats the quality of this family run business. Had the chocolate raspberry for my 65th birthday last night. 10/10. Give it a try, you will be back over and over again. Thank you so much for everything

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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 .
