I visited a charming little café today that felt like a step back in time. No AC, no tech—just a cozy, local vibe. You serve yourself, cut your own bagel , add your own toppings, and everything is super fresh. Prices are cheap, and the staff and customers are incredibly friendly. It’s cash only and feels like a true old-town gem. Simple, homey, and worth a visit!
The only reason I cannot give it a 5 star rating is that the front of the house looks like it could be the back of the house. Some redesign of the area where you place your order would do wonders to this café. The person who took my order was very helpful. Great food and service and the donut was delicious. Browny points for a squeaky clean bathroom. The terrace is pleasant and relaxing.
This is an amazing place - storied building, friendly staff, great food and prices, and a real community hub. A must go for any Kitchener / Waterloo local.
