“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.)“

“Katarinas is a lovely place to have either a yummy coffee with delicious pastries or a yummy lunch, my favourite is the steak sandwich with mushrooms, and my favourite cookies are the ginger cookies. The service is super friendly. I love it there!“

“A Whimsical Wonderland of Flavour and Charm! From the moment I stepped into Queen of Hearts Tea House, I felt like I had wandered straight into a fairytale. The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting—vintage elegance meets whimsical charm, with cozy seating, delicate china, and thoughtful decor that truly makes you feel like royalty. The tea selection is phenomenal! Whether you’re a classic Earl Grey lover or craving something more adventurous like lavender or lime gelato, they’ve got something that will surprise and delight your taste buds. I tried the signature Earl Grey cream and paired with the freshly baked scones was pure magic. The staff are warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They genuinely care about your experience and are happy to guide you through the menu. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a quiet afternoon escape, a special date, or a whimsical tea party with friends, Queen of Hearts is the perfect spot. I honestly didn’t want to leave—and I’ll definitely be back soon! Highly, highly recommend. 💕☕👑“

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

“Love this place so much, I drive here everytime i visit family. They have the most amazing selection of syrups for coffee. Also coffe and coffee things lol. The homemade food is outstanding everytime. I always get something to go whether it's a bakery item or last time a gluten free noodle dish for my mother and I, delish!!“

“Best coffee in KW for sure! Complex coffee options for those wanting a pour over or a lighter espresso option and also classic espresso for those wanting a delicious latte. Great selection of beans from all over the world. Amazing light roast drip coffee that they rotate frequently, always my go to! And you can’t forget about their pastries - made fresh and all 10/10.“

“What a lovely cafe right beside indigo and right opposite CF Fairview mall. It was packed when we went there but we were able to try last chocolate zucchini loaf and it was one of the most rich, chocolatey and moist loaf we ever had and it was 10/10. Did have normal cafe latte and it was really good coffee.“

“Sweet spot for sweet treats. ❤️“

“I loved the vegan food and they were delicious, but I waited 30 minutes just for getting vegan cookies. Service is not quick. I really want to support vegan stores as a vegan person and be positive but floors were not clean inside the store, the person who was serving looked overwhelmed from working, a little smile would make difference.“

“loved the atmosphere! really chic and minimal. there’s a few outlets (around 3) and it got busier in the afternoon but there were still seats. i had a flat white and almond croissant and both were great!

the staff was super nice and friendly, will definitely be back :)“

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

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

“I’ve come to this Tim’s quite a few times and my order is always right and always ready when I come to the window. The staff here are really nice compared to others I’ve been too.
The inside however is a little sketchy so the drive through suites me just fine!“

“Then best mix and match selection for flavoured Kurig pods!“

“Have been a long time fan, from the delicious drinks and treats to the adorable decor and merchandise. Today was my first time back post Covid. Staff was friendly and cheerful but the wait time was actually really bad. Had I known it would take 25 minutes to receive one bubble tea, I would have gotten my drink before my lunch. Unfortunately couples coming in after me were receiving their drinks before I did. Love the new straws and can overlook that they do break easily, because they’re much better than paper!“

“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!“

“The Bingsu , this is place is so cosy and has a diversity of great desserts and drinks.One of my favourite icecream with strawberries cheesecake and was pretty delicious! Yummy ! Will definetely go again to try other desserts flavours. It is a bit pricey , but it tastes good !“

“My morning coffee is always fresh, always greeted with a smile and exceptional service! Best Tim Hortons morning crew in the area! Special shoutout to Barb for always going above and beyond. Customer satisfaction is always her top priority. Your smile and friendly good mornings always brighten my day. Thank you for all you do!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing all the way around. The staff was great from the start to the finish. The brunchie was so delicious and the bread was super fresh. I had a lavender late and it definitely did not disappoint. We stumbled on this little gem by accident but will 100% be back.“

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

“This is the first Starbucks in Waterloo I've been to that isn't run-down. It's very clean, bright, and well taken care of. The staff are very pleasant and courteous. Reminds me of Starbucks you find around the world. I found out that it is privately owned which goes to show what a business should be like. Although an hour walk from my home, it will be my go-to Starbucks on my long walks. Bravo Zulu!“

“Priyanka is the absolute sweetest! She was sooo accommodating to my dietary restrictions and so patient and understanding! I got the taro frappe and as someone who gets taro all the time, this is genuinely probably one of the best drinks I’ve ever had!“

“One of my favourite Starbucks locations in Kitchener! The service here is truly unmatched, the staff are always friendly, quick, and make every visit feel welcoming. My drinks are consistently perfect, and the atmosphere is great whether I’m grabbing something on the go or staying for a bit. Highly recommend this location! ☕✨“

“Super staff!! Need more seating!$“

“Awesome service from Jagan and Kayla at this location. I’m still trying to figure out how to earn reward stars to make the most from app offers, and they were very kind and patient. I had an issue with a gifted gift card and they helped me with that too. Chai tea lattes are my favourite and they made an excellent one.“

“I’ve been going to this Starbucks for years and I’ve never had a bad experience!! The one employee Arvic is outstanding! His customer service is amazing and never fails to brighten my day! He knows my drink and always makes it perfect:) he deserves a raise and much more! Apart from him all the other employee are always amazing and never disappoints!“

“Had a lunch here, they have table service and we're friendly. Can't ask for much more from mcdonalds.

One of my fries came with too little fries! Half as much as it should. I complained, and they gave me a small order of fries to make up for it. Even brought it to my table. Good service.“

“I usually don't leave a review but this place is wholesome. I was having a rough day. I was tired and exhausted because of my work. Both two guys (Forgot their name) were very friendly and cheerful. They kept me engaged while I was there. I ordered strawberry creme frap venti and the guy working at the bar made my drink perfectly and even decorated the frap which eventually lifted my mood. Service was better than the original Starbucks. I have to visit this location often to meet those two guys. Keep up the good work guys.“

“I honestly love coming to Chatime — the staff are always so sweet and cooperative! They’re super friendly and always make my experience amazing every single time. You can tell they really care, and it just makes you want to keep coming back. Seriously the best service and the best team ever!!💜“

“Ordered a pumpkin Frappuccino and they made up the total wrong drink, I have tried to call them and nothing from them the line is constantly busy shows that this location needs to be properly trained for customer service and learn to read the orders the right way.“

“Shout out to the kind lady that works overnights/ very early mornings at this location. I'monly a semi regular customer, but she has recognized me and has gone above and beyond in her customer service. Always brings a smile to my face when I see her! Today she really helped start my day off on a high note. (130am drive through). Thank you! :D“

“Yesterday I visited Tim Hortons between 2–3 PM, and I truly had a wonderful experience. A staff member named Komal served me, and she was incredibly kind, polite, and patient. I ordered three coffees and food, and even though I was a little confused while ordering, she understood everything so calmly and clearly, without rushing me at all.

She repeated my order with a smile, handled the payment very smoothly, asked about reward points, and prepared my coffee with so much care. The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the food was served neatly and respectfully. It’s not every day you meet staff who make you feel genuinely comfortable and valued as a customer. I really appreciate this kind of service—thank you for making my visit special 💛☕“

“Hi I went to tim hortons in kitchener Ontario an waterloo ontario yesterday an I went in side I can't get connected to the tim hortons wifi can u help me please“

“Generous with the free samples-- they bring the tray around way more than any other location. There are lots of tables and two chair areas for intimate conversations. The large middle table has a capacity for eight and has power outlets. Internet speed is on the low side, 9 Mbps. The large space echos and there is music playing, so it's not great for a zoom call, but the constant indistinct chatter and cafe sounds are great to help focused work.

This Starbucks is in the group that charges lower prices in the region.

There are two free J1772 car chargers, if you know where to look, in the office park next door (600 Weber St N).

Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible washroom. Large spaces between tables.“

“Always have a great experience at this Starbucks cafe. There was a brief issue causing a disturbance today, and Branden handled it calmly and professionally. He even offered us a pastry as an apology, which was incredibly kind. Really appreciated his thoughtfulness!“

“This place is the BOMB! Very high quality good food for less than 2 dollars. Coffee, hmm don't get me started on that they are very affordable (60 cents). As always the staff is AMAZING. Keep up the great work! #BestCnD“

“Great location.The service is always quick, and the place is very clean. Davinder, who served was an excellent employee—very polite, patient, and helpful. He made sure my order was correct and served with a positive attitude, which really made my visit better. Employees like him make a big difference. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thanks“

“A GREAT FAMILY PLACE RIGHT INSIDE THE YMCA ON COURTLAND AVE“

“Best place on campus, or rather in the engineering buildings at least!“

“I’ve been a regular Tim Hortons customer for over five years, and it’s always been a reliable part of my daily routine. The coffee is consistently great, and I love their breakfast sandwiches and fresh donuts. Staff are usually friendly and efficient, even during busy times. Whether I’m grabbing a quick coffee on the way to work or sitting in for a break, Tim Hortons always delivers comfort and quality. Highly recommended!“
