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.

Have been back twice, chicken Caesar wrap is best in town. Fries perfectly done and well seasoned. Just had the bacon buddy breakfast sandwich, also really great. Home fries possibly even better than the regular ones but both are very good. Owner is super kind, a great chatter, and remembered me from my last visit. Glad to have popped in, new staple spot with great hours.

Came for the coffee, stayed for the food and the people! I asked if they could help with daily meals during a heavy work stretch and learned they have more than 25 years of catering experience!! You can taste it in every bite, incredibly fresh, deeply flavorful, and genuinely nourishing. I was going through Google reviews earlier and completely understand the perfect five-star rating. If I could hand out Michelin stars, Alicia would have one! Truly a hidden gem.
One review will not cover the whole experience, but here are a few highlights I keep coming back to the phenomenal: the best pasta I have ever had, silky and perfectly seasoned; a vegan wrap that became my daily go-to, bright and balanced; oats piled with fresh fruit from Kitchener Market; jerk or smoked chicken with mashed potatoes that are unbelievably creamy; and an off-menu pizza that is the best I have had in town!! They also made me on-demand comforting Canadian classics, including a peanut butter and jelly sandwich made like an authentic lunch-box favorite, not on the menu!!
Alicia, the owner, is super welcoming, attentive, and super dedicated. Alexis and the team are so wonderful and kind. They greet you by name, make sure you are fed, and keep everything running beautifully. Around here, locals know them by name and for their quality. Every coffee on the menu is excellent! I am a two to three cups a day regular here, and if you want something different, try the chocolate latte or the iced strawberry delight tea (my new favourite)
Some of my favorites are not even on the menu, created just for me, which says everything about the care here. If you want great food, warm hospitality, and true locals supporting local, this is your spot. 100/10!! ♥️

I can't say enough good things about this terrific new takeaway place. I was visiting here from out West & looking for a place to grab some grub before a comedy show( which ended up being cancelled sadly), but the owner of this great spot brightened all of our evenings when she offered to cook up a special dinner for myself & 2 others. I have tons of food sensitivities, but she whipped up an oh so delish tender grilled chicken, yummy mashed potatoes & grilled veg. We weren't sure if we'd b able to find a place where I could eat, & were about to give up, until we called here. The owner was oh so sensitive, caring & accomadating to my needs, & I can't thank her enough! I wish I still lived in KW so I could enjoy this establishment more. Good luck, & continued success in your new venture. I highly recommend this new hidden gem in the culinary takeout world of Kitchener Waterloo.

This was such an amazing meal! Everything was prepared fresh and from scratch. I had the Bacon Buddy and their home fries are mouthwatering good! They also included a personalized note on my order which was extremely thoughtful! Will be ordering again or dining in!

The service here is amazing. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming which adds to the intimate but welcoming atmosphere. I had the veggie pesto sandwich which was loaded with grilled vegetables and on thick slices of sour dough bread. Overall the experience with the staff and the food was 5/5, I will definitely be going back.

I hadn't thought from walking by that East End Annie's did much food, but saw photos online when I was looking for a quick Sunday lunch.
I was just looking for a basic egg sandwich, and they gave me a *perfect* egg sandwich (bacon buddy). Very, very good. Now I definitely want to return to try their other options.
Their lemon tart was also perfectly lemony. I love lemon tart but always hesitate to order it because so many places make it too sweet and cloying. Now I know where to go when I crave it.
Visited for the first time—and it won’t be the last! The experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly made on-site with care. The owner, Alicia and her team were exceptionally warm and welcoming, making it feel like you were stepping into her own kitchen.
There are great vegetarian and vegan options, along with creative dips, toppings, and combinations that are both unique and satisfying. Portions are generous, making it a perfect spot for a hearty lunch, a coffee break, or a quick snack.
Beyond the food and hospitality, it was genuinely heartwarming to see how Alicia interacts with her team. There's a strong sense of inclusion, teamwork, and mutual respect that adds something special to the whole experience.
Highly recommend—and I’ll definitely be back!
