Restaurants in Waterloo

“Came here for the first time today and had a great meal with my daughter. The service was amazing, I want to give a big thank you to Jameson, he was great. I will definitely be back!”

“Good quality ramen. Many creative variations. I find the seats somewhat uncomfortable with no back support.”

“first time ordering and WOW. the fries were perfectly golden and crisp, the Philly steak sandwich was so tender and perfect. Definitely one of my new favourite places in KW”

“food was awsome najma was a kind server”

“If you're craving authentic kebabs in Waterloo, Kebob Shack is the place to go. I recently visited with a big appetite and left completely satisfied. We ordered the Bihari Kebab with rice and salad, Chicken Kebab with rice, Chicken Skewer with rice, and the Mix Kebab with rice and salad. Every single dish was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.

The Bihari Kebab was the highlight for me. It had that authentic smoky taste and tenderness that instantly reminded me of the kind of kebabs you rarely find outside of South Asia. The seasoning was spot on, and it paired perfectly with the rice and fresh salad. The chicken kebab and chicken skewer were juicy, flavorful, and grilled just right. The mix kebab platter was also fantastic, giving us a chance to try different varieties, and every bite was delicious.

What I appreciated most was how fresh everything tasted. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the food arrived hot and fresh. It's not easy to find truly authentic kebabs that hit the spot, but Kebob Shack absolutely delivered. They genuinely fulfilled my craving for real, authentic kebabs in Waterloo. I'll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great kebabs.”

“We love this place! #5 is our go to with salad and their fries are amazing too! Perfect post workout meal!”

“Good food with lots of flavour! Good prices! Good seevice Friendly wait staff!”

“I had a great dinner with friends on 8 June. Good food of great value. Waiter Samuel is cheerful and helpful.”

“Amazing cookies, atmosphere and service. would highly recommend.”

“Never knew this place existed--found it on the web. I had the Yummy Burger, Fries, and Onion Rings. The Yummy Burger is absolutely the best burger in town. I love the flavours of all the toppings. The fries and onion rings are also very good. Can't wait to try some of their other food items as well.”

“Anything and everything. You dont have to ask for a free smile as you get one coming in and leaving.”

“Staff was friendly and patient when helping me out. It was my first time there. Service was quick.”

“Our burger was amazing. the brisket on was wow. our server Kristina was 5 star. keep up the great work! we will definitely be back to Waterloo store again”

“Ayer fuimos de visita a esta pizzeria, ya estaban cerrados y nos abrieron para atendernos. Valió la pena ya que todo estaba riquisimo desde la pizza hasta los palitos de mozarella. Si volviéramos a Canada lo visitariamos y lo recomendamos 100%. Gracias por su excelente atención.”

“Fantastic wings - best I have ever had. Everything was superb except the music was too loud: we couldn't hear one another talk.”

“Great food, friendly staff, no reservations required”

“Amazing food, amazing service! fav restaurant in town! Also made to feel right at home at King Street Trio. Friendly and attentive staff make a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend you try it out for yourself.”

“Great food!! Nice Patio!! Excellent service!!!”

“Great meal today from Exclamation. The Lemon Chicken was fantastic :-)”

“First time at this fine establishment and let me tell you nothing short of amazing. The service was absolutely hands down amazing from the moment we walked in the door until the moment we left . The food was so incredible fresh and delicious! Best meal we have had out in a very long time . This is by far such an amazing place to eat ,,relax and unwind with friends or family ! My new favorite ❤️ Thankyou to the staff at Browns social house for such an amazing experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ T .Pringle”

“I want to personally thank the team at Sole for such an amazing birthday dinner !! The few times I have come I have always had a great experience but when I went to book online it looked like it was full booked up. Aniko saw my post looking for different options made it happen and found us a table! I thought that was the great deed end there but the whole experience made me feel so extremely special. Being welcomed in like I was a friend to when I got to my table I had flowers and a birthday card waiting for me🥹 those who have December birthdays know we often get slacked but the team made me truly feel special! Drink options were delicious and made fresh. Had a baked Brie with fresh mixed berry sauce as an appetizer. Dinner was phenomenal I had smoked chicken (tasted like the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had) and for dessert they came out with a special birthday crème brûlée and truffles! As a group we also ordered the triple layer chocolate cake (will be something I will be dreaming of for a while haha). To share what my friends had- a salmon with a salad and beef short rib. Everything was so delicious and cooked perfectly. You can tell they take time to think about proper pairing/flavouring and how to make the food taste good. Thank you again Solé Uptown (especially Aniko) everyone I strongly recommend if you are looking to have a great dining experience to go to Sole ❤️”

“Everything was perfect, especially the cakes. Interior is also very nice”

“Our server Taylor was amazing! Friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service and a wonderful experience. Would definitely come back, especially if Taylor was our server again:)”

“Great meal, great service! Thanks Avery for taking care of us!”

“My spouse, 9 year old daughter and I just visited Games on Tap for the first time. I highly recommend it! Excellent customer service complete with suggested games for first-timers and a great vibe.”

“My partner and I went to this place with our friend and our reviews are the following:

Sof:
I enjoyed the beet root salad, which was an amazing vegetarian option! We got different sauces on the side to customize our food the way we like it, which was really appreciated. Spinach dip was really delicious and served with fresh chips.

Renzo:
The Bauer Burguer has a decent size for its price and the fries had a good flavour. There is a fast phased atmosphere and the costumer service is really good.”

“What an amazing day! We went to try something out of our comfort zone and we were not disappointed!! 110% loved this place and can not wait to take other family and friends to enjoy it there as well!!”

“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.”

“Stopped by milestones Waterloo yesterday for some beer and to grab a quick bite with friends and had such a great experience. The food came out hot, fresh, and tasted amazing.

A big shoutout to our server, Jamaica, who made the whole experience even better. Super friendly, attentive, and always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being over the top. She had a great attitude and made us feel really welcome from start to finish.

Great food, awesome service, and a really good atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, and hopefully Jamaica is working next time too. Highly recommend!”

“Heather was fantastic. She greeted us immediately, took our order quickly, our food came out promptly and tasted delicious. She was very pleasant and went over and above to serve us and make the experience wonderful!”

“I love the tacos and super friendly people”

“$7 for one teen burger(yeah right). got for $3.50. lots of terrorists in that parking lot. those in vehicles didn't know what a turning signals was. caught at least six idiots driving without a drivers license. floor was sticky. especially watch out for the idiots going into the drive through. no turning signals again.”

“Came in with my junky homeless friend and they were very respectful of the smell my friend was giving off. Nothing like sausage and egg mc muffins when you've been up all night sketching my brains out. They gave me all the umpf I needed to get me to that rave last night. So thanx McDonalds for keeping me dancing.”

“Lovepreet is doing a fantastic job as a manager. She works very hard and keeps the store running smoothly,even during the morning rush. Her team is friendly, fast and well coordinated. You can really feel the positive and peaceful environment in the store.”

“Jashandeep was awesome she gave me full ice cap it was amazing and Chan service was great nice team players Tims

This is me giving a review a second time Name Abigale she was awesome too exceptional service all of the people who work are awesome here been coming here almost for an year or more”

“I really love Tim Hortons for their food and drinks. I’ve been to this location several times, and it’s been consistently good. The team is always polite, the restaurant is clean, and my order is usually ready faster than expected. It’s nice to have a place where you can count on friendly service and a good cup of coffee every time.”

“Finn is a great barista! He pays close attention to every order detail, making sure my iced coffee with oat milk is prepared exactly as requested and tastes perfect every time. He truly reflects outstanding hospitality with his friendly attitude and excellent customer service.”

“Protein latte and the wraps or cold/got beverages on offer are really good. Only drawback is they have dark raost cold-brew, light or medium should be an option for those who prefer...”

“Always very kind staff. Really quick service and nicely staffed even if they are getting slammed on a Friday night. Washroom access is by request of a key, but you dont need to buy anything to use it thankfully. Not a lot of places let you do that.”

“Hands down the best coffee to align to my taste. Has good amount of seating. The last visit for Dine-in left a sour taste however. My coffee along with several other orders were continued to be kept at the counter. The display kept showing my order was in progress along with every other order (obviously it was not working/helping). No one was calling for names to get their order picked up (had few others waiting alongside with me). After good 10 mins of waiting, looked into the pile myself and grabbed my order of coffee. Requesting either to fix the screen so it gets updated or at least call out the name in the order (like every other Tim Hortons does).

I will still go, but will prefer Drive thru (the drive path has a big water drain - which I dont think we can do anything about it, but could have avoided while desining the pathway).”

“Stopped by here for an after-movie snack with 7 of us. The food was fresh, arrived quickly, and tasted as it should. The restaurant was moderately busy, but the staff were helpful. One of us dropped our medium fries on the floor, and the staff didn't hesitate to give us a new one for free, which we very much appreciated. Thanks for the excellent service and experience.”

“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you”

“Food wss really good and delicious”

“This place never ceases to impress! We had a lovely lunch on Saturday; we were a total of 3 adults and 4 children. The staff, service and food were phenomenal as always! The GM, Aaquib Mohammed and crew are always a pleasure to deal with and make sure we always leave happy. If you want to try the best pizza in town, you need to give Famoso a try!”

“I rarely give really positive reviews but this is an exception. This is an excellent restaurant without qualification. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The service was polite, friendly and fast. The decor is attractive, intelligent and works. This is a place I intend to return to.”

“The food here is always really good and affordable, especially for two people. My usual order is the volcano chicken cold ramen and the spicy fried rice cakes. Both are packed with flavor and never disappoint. The portion sizes are amazing so you definitely get good value. not to mention they have HALAL options as well which is definitely a plus.
The service is also great. The staff are friendly and quick to help with anything you need. The place has a relaxed type of vibe, which makes it perfect for a casual meal.
It’s easily my go to spot whenever I’m in Waterloo area.”

“My boyfriend and I absolutely love the taste of their yang yum red chicken! I've only been to a Korean BBQ so to find something like this small place in Waterloo is perfect. I original came for the kimbap but fell in love with the chicken and bulgolgi bao sandwich. Highly recommend the yang yum meal set because it comes with so much and the japchae noodles are delicious!”

“Great spot 👌

(Full disclosure: the guy asked me to leave a good review in exchange for extra haloumi. My review still stands. Food is great and they call you boss).”

“amazing food and even better staff!”

“great prices, fast and friendly service. will for sure stop by again next time we come to st Jacob's!”

“Such a cute spot! I had the brown sugar shaken espresso and it was amazing.

The guys who run it are so kind - definitely a great spot for morning coffee and breakfast!”

“First time walking in and i got the best vibes. The owner was on a phone call and step[ped out but welcomed me warmly! The older man who made my sandwhich was a delight! Very genuine energy from them all. The Cajun sandwich was made to perfection! The chicken actually tastes like chicken and was seasoned decently. Im sure you could ask for more or less seasoning as its mixed in house. I love that its entirely customizable so you can make it just like you would at home. The produce was really fresh and they keep everything sealed and organized. Not a fruit fly or bug in sight, super clean place overall. I had no idea what to add, and i love a chicken greek salad so that inspired my toppings (mozzarella, feta cheese, lettuce, green peppers, cucumber and tomato) and dressing style (greek feta, olive oil, garlic mayo). I rate it a 9/10, honestly. My total was $20.32, kinda pricey but honestly worth every buck. That price was after I got a 15% discount and added chips and a mango smoothie (the owner said it was a family recipe from their mother, and it smacked!). I'll defintely come back for a sandwhich”

“Been to barburrito twice now and both times I wasn't disappointed. Delicious food and a lot of it! Friendly staf. Will keep going back. Bring your appetite!!”

“Time of order 4:15 / cashier n / First time eating at a Pizza Nova. Large 3 topping thin crust pizza and 2 pounds of wings BBQ and Medium. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. My wife picked this up and drove 5 minutes back and food was still very hot. Amazing crust, fresh toppings, great quality wings, and most important, not at all salty and we did not feel bloated afterwards. We have been searching for a decent pizza place now for a long time. This is going to be the place from now on. We look forward to trying more from the menue. Thank you to the friendly and very helpful staff.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Had the cheese burger with stern fries, the best burger I’ve had thus far in all the places I’ve tried. The fries were a little gritty, but were still good. Will definitely be back, until we get a location in Cambridge”

“Wow this place makes a delicious smash burger. I order the double combo and loved every bite. My only complaint is that they no longer serve fresh cut fries but I understand that these are labour intensive and consistency in quality is difficult. The fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, not bad for a frozen french fry.”

“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.)”

“The prices at this place are pretty good. 2 rolls for $10 is the daily special. We got the spicy salmon and crab avocado roll ($10 daily special). The weekly special (around $12.95) which is the dynamite roll and spicy salmon roll and then lastly the salmon poke bowl (around $17.95).

Usually when I eat sushi I feel like I got hit by a truck after but when I ate here I felt great. The salmon tastes amazing and they give you big fatty pieces in the poke bowl. The texture of the rice is different than other sushi places though. I can’t put my finger on how it’s different, it’s not a bad thing though and may have contributed to why I don’t feel so full and bloated after. I am definitely coming back here again for a quick sushi fix!”

“I am from British Columbia and when i visited there my friend take me to the grand malabar. They provide with best food and good customer service Please try the Fish nirvana its superb”

“Excellent Pizza and friendly staff/”

“I have picked up pizza here sometimes and the store is always clean and organized. I recommend this place.”

“Came in with my family, everything was excellent. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff. Would go back again.”

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

“First time there today as we had our RWTO group luncheon there....Great Atmosphere, good food and great service....I would recommend this restaurant to any group who want a good place to meet and have some delicious food.....”

“They are one of the best restaurants in the town.
Their food is super fresh and delicious also the services are so fast and very affordable.
I highly recommend them if you want to test authentic Persian cuisine with great service and high quality.”

“Super fresh sandwiches to take out. Fabulous!”

“community atmosphere, healthy food”

“没有酒 有酒的话会更喜欢”

“Where does one begin….by far the best take out chicken we have had in a very long time. But what will bring us back is the staff. By far the best service and kindness received. Everyone was working as a team and yes smiles on their faces! We pre ordered our food online and get this, they got it right the first time. Never happens for us anywhere else. Like I said just an all around amazing experience and so proud to support a company that has great staff.”

“*Caution** Went to this venue for the first time on Friday. There were 2 men luring women who were there alone offering to get them 'closer to the stage'. They happened to approach my friend, and we watched it happen. When I went to my friend and asked how she met them, and she asked if she was okay, she disclosed that they were touching her inappropriately and was blocking her from talking to me. Security was told, bald man about 5'5" and a women security officer approached me. I told them what happened and instead of following up they asked me to leave with no reason provided. Either the security was incompetent or knew the perpetrators. Will never return. Please watch out for each other because those who are there to 'keep you safe' are clearly not. The owner and police are being contacted to provide this information. Disappointing do better protecting your patrons.”

“It’s always a great experience At this location.
Their staff is amazing.🥳🥳 last time I was served by a girl and this time Chinmay and his shift partner.”

“It was a really great experience here. Very very quiet inside, and the staff are very kind and asked us how are food was when we were done. And, was patient at the counter when we didn't know what to get”

“Was so excited to make it to Waterloo to try Tsujiri. Service was exceptional. Loved the Yuzu Citron Parfait. Also had the Dango and 3 mini cakes 😋. Looking forward to going back to try some lattes and noodles and pretty much everything on the menu. The mini cakes made a great birthday gift and came in a stunningly elegant black sculptural box😍. HIGHLY RECOMMEND”

“I love the NewYork Veg. Poutine. Also the service is great!!”

“Customer service here is excellent. the food is phenomenal. Well done boys.”

“We tried his paneer kathi roll its nice once everyone can try”

“Amazing place for Korean desserts! The bingsu is super soft and refreshing, and the toppings taste so fresh. Their mango juice is damn good too. Cozy vibes and friendly staff—definitely coming back!”

“Love the Butter chicken and rice, although I do find it EXTREMELY spicy. I wish there was a way to retain the flavors without all the heat, but I guess one goes with the other. I had pre-ordered on line the lunch sized butter chicken but it wasn't ready when I arrived. Had to wait about 10 minutes for it but the guy apologized and gave me the large size at no additional cost so all was good. 😋”

“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!”

“Just had an amazing meal at this spot! The atmosphere was super chill and inviting, making it a perfect evening out. Seriously, the flavors were incredible, and everything tasted so fresh. I'll definitely be coming back here again soon. Highly recommend checking this place out!”

“Best place for all the treats!!!”

“Ordered a cake for my son’s first birthday and it did not disappoint!!! It was BEAUTIFUL and tasted delicious! Strongly recommend”

“I had these amazing apple fritters for the first time about 7 years ago on our first visit. Had to have them again for the second time last week on Thursday August 11th 2016. Had them with ice cream and maple syrup. Sure wish you could ship, your favourite customers in New Brunswick!”

“The best breakfast place going! I’m sure the rest of the menu is fabulous too, I’m just hooked on their premium pancakes”

“MY FIRST TIME HERE FOR LUNCH WITH FRIENDS. FANTASTIC PIZZA AND THEIR PIZZA CRUST IS AMAZING. KEERAT, OUR SERVER WAS HELPFUL MAKING SUGGESTIONS AND FULFILLING ANY ADDITIONAL REQUESTS TO OUR DRINKS AND MEALS. BRIJESH AND DHRUVIL (THEIR COOKS) EVEN CAME OUT TO ENQUIRE ABOUT OUR MEALS AND TO WISH ME, THE BIRTHDAY GIRL MANY HAPPY RETURNS. THEIR VANILLA PANNA COTTA WAS DELISH! I AM CERTAINLY PLANNING ON RETURNING TO TRY OUT ONE OF THEIR FRESH PASTA DISHES.”

“Excellent fast service. Phenomenal food.”

“The best place in Waterloo. It’s a staple for a reason.”

“First time walking in and i got the best vibes. The owner was on a phone call and step[ped out but welcomed me warmly! The older man who made my sandwhich was a delight!

“Excellent Pizza and friendly staff/”

“Sharpan was so lovely. Kind, efficient and pleasant. A++++”

“Good vibe. One of the best places to drink coffee and study in Waterloo, although plug outlets are hard to find. Many of the chairs are cheap and uncomfortable; probably by design to keep flipping customers.”

“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!!”

“We stopped at Harvey's in St. Jacobs before my son's hockey game and had a great meal with excellent hospitality. The staff was friendly, and I was especially grateful when I realized I'd lost my purse during the tournament. Mittal at Harvey's had found it and tried several times to reach me and kept it safe until I returned. Her attentiveness and care made all the difference, and I truly appreciate her honesty. Thank you for taking such good care of my belongings!”

“Amazing cookies, atmosphere and service. would highly recommend.”

“We tried his paneer kathi roll its nice once everyone can try”

“I used Jacqueline's Catering for a bridal shower with 40 guests and could not be more satisfied. They provided a wide variety of meat and vegetarian sandwiches, and not a lacklustre choice among them. The chicken salad on croissants were exceptional, but my favourite was the salmon. The breads and buns were very fresh and the fillings generous. No skimping. John Paul was easy to work with; all my questions and special requests were met with clear and prompt replies. And the pricing is reasonable, worth every penny. A reliable business I will certainly use for future events.”

“I placed a catering order for bagels and trays of cream cheeses, tuna and vegetables. I spoke with the owner of the company, who provided me with excellent information to create exactly what I wanted. The day that we picked up the order, everything was perfect. The customer service level is excellent and the quality/taste of the food was delicious. I highly recommend this Bagel Store.”

I'll definitely be coming back again and highly recommend it to anyone who loves great kebabs.”

“I tried the Agua Fresca Hibiscus drink, and it’s honestly one of the best drinks I’ve ever had, especially for the price. I wasn’t sure what it was at first, but the staff took the time to explain it in such a kind, patient, and respectful way, making sure I understood everything. The customer service here is truly on another level. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try”

“Excellent food and excellent service! The tenders were fresh, crispy, and full of flavor. Mary was welcoming, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Great customer service and a wonderful experience. Thank you, Mary!”

“I have picked up pizza here sometimes and the store is always clean and organized. I recommend this place.”

“I was really impressed with the Breakfast Combo! It was substantial with the sides of chutneys and the potato masala was delicious- not very hot to suit those who can't take too much hot spice!!!! The cardamom chai was excellent. Purnisha (hope the spelling is correct) is a gracious hostess! We will definitely visit again and try out other dishes!”

“Stopped for lunch and were so impressed with friendly service, fresh made tofu and vegetables, and options to suit dietary needs. Best Quesada I’ve ever visited.”

“Came across this lovely local cafe while visiting Waterloo. The drink selection was fantastic, offering traditional and fun seasonal flavours. I really enjoyed the salted maple blueberry latte. The atmosphere was calm and the staff kind. Check them out!”

“Xpress Pizza is my new favorite spot. The Achari Paneer Pizza was perfectly spicy and had so much flavor. The Gravy Momos were soft, juicy, and the sauce on them was incredible. Great food and great quality. Highly recommend!”

“I see why this place has such great reviews. We really enjoyed the fried chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and fries, the sauces were tasty as well. Very nice staff as well. Will definitely be coming back.”

“Tried the Mexican Veggie Poutine at Mike’s Poutine and it was delicious! Great flavors and fresh ingredients. Also, Pavan provided excellent customer service and was very friendly. Highly recommend!”

“The space is beautiful, the service was friendly, attentive and quick. The food though… was next level delicious! Best pad Thai I’ve ever had! The hot egg coffee was so decadent. Food came out quickly. Portions were huge! I have enough for lunch tomorrow! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to try something new next time.”

“Visited Snowday Bingsu recently and had the chance to try their Tiramisu Bingsu and Oreo Bingsu. Overall, I had a really nice experience and enjoyed both desserts a lot. The flavors were well balanced, the toppings were generous, and you can tell care was taken with the presentation. Both options tasted fresh, rich, and were definitely satisfying for anyone who enjoys Korean-style desserts.

I especially liked how flavorful both the tiramisu and Oreo combinations were — not overly sweet, but still indulgent and enjoyable. The portion size was also good, making it perfect to share or even enjoy on your own if you love desserts.

The only small thing I personally noticed was with the shaved ice base. Usually with bingsu, I expect the ice flakes to have more of that creamy, milky texture and flavor, but this one felt a little lighter and more plain than expected. It didn’t take away too much from the overall dessert, but I think improving that part would make the experience even better.

Other than that, everything else was excellent. Great dessert spot, nice quality ingredients, and definitely a place I would visit again to try more items on the menu. Would recommend to anyone craving a good bingsu experience!”

“Kang was an incredible waiter. Great attitude, very knowledgeable, very patient. Give 👏🏻 that👏🏻 man👏🏻 a👏🏻 raise👏🏻!!”

“Good food and good vibes.
Devyashi was very helpful and suggested us to have a Cutting with the Vada Pav which was a great combination.
Will be back again!
Also, nice painting on the wall.”

“It is one of my favourite places in KW. Love the ambiance, service, and quality of food.”

“The vegan beyond bagel is so fire i eat it every day it’s draining my account😭 I live off campus and come to campus just to get it. Smoothie portions r huge so worth it for the price and you can tell real fruit was used!!”

“Good atmosphere with great customer service”
