I can appreciate a good sandwich and I cannot get enough of the sandwiches here! I highly recommend the California and the godfather, and the yam sandwich is surprisingly really tasty. This is my favourite place uptown, great atmosphere and friendly service. Definitely the best sandwiches in town

I went to this place to get a coffee as there wasn't anything else close by I recognized, such as a Starbucks or Peet's. When I entered the smell wasn't all that fresh and it didn't smell like great coffee, but I still thought to go ahead and try. The girl who helped me had stank attitude, she didn't greet making me feel unwelcome or as if she was agitated. That rubbed me the wrong way, again I proceeded to order. I asked to get a small coffee after looking at their menu which I thought was weak there was nothing familiar and (everything seemed foreign). When I told her what I wanted she looked at me like I was in the wrong place to order coffee or she was confused I was ordering regular coffee. I had to repeat what I wanted while also indicating drip coffee. She finally charged $3 which is cheaper then most places, however the coffee itself was poor tasting and tiped temperature. She gave me room for cream, by pouring to almost a half a cup, leaving little coffee. It was not a nice experience, I would rather iced caramel macchiato or regular coffee at McDonald's then to patronize here.
The name doesn't fit the service either nor the type of beverage and food they have.

Been coming to the princess café a little over a year now! The latte's are amazing, the food is really great, the staff is super nice, and the whole atmosphere is very cozy!
My only issue is that for whatever reason as of late, the internet connection has just made it almost impossible to do any work. It's fine when you first arrive, but it's like the more people start to pool in, the worse the wifi connection gets. To the point where none of my online writing programs work, and loading a tab on Chrome takes forever.
It's unfortunate, because this was my go-to study spot. I hope this improves somehow.

I have been visiting the Princess Cafe for a panini and side since 2010 or before. In a world that is constantly changing all the time, there's something really comforting about being able to get one of my favourite paninis (the yamwich or curried tuna) and one of my favourite pasta salads (but, please add back artichokes to it) for over 15 years. I especially love supporting a local, family-run business with nice vibes and solid coffee drinks.

A great study space—the atmosphere is perfectly cozy, and there's a decent amount of outlets! The staff are super sweet and genuine. I would highly recommend the yamwich; it was delish.

I visited Princess Café for the first time today, and I must say, it was impeccable. I truly enjoyed the sandwich, and the half hot chocolate, half tea I ordered was perfectly made. There was plenty of seating, and the atmosphere was ideal for peaceful studying. I’ll definitely be back. 🤎

GREAT sandwiches! Really good selection of what you can get. Huge selection. Even for drinks. I loved my experience here!
The sandwiches are fine, just very expensive. Their other food is bad though and their menu is small. The staff are nice. But I hated my experience there because of the atmosphere. Their chairs are super high and have no arm rests. They don't look stable and are pretty flimsy. They are very unsafe. I need to sit in a normal chair so they put me across the hall in a study room. Like their place is so bad all children, elderly, injured (on crutches) and disabled people have to sit in a completely separate room outside of the Cafe. I can't believe they treat people like this.

I loooove the princess cafe. The sandwiches are SO good, worth every penny and the drinks are yummy. Love working in the Annex and chilling in the cafe. The seperated spaces are a super cool idea. The dishware is super cute too.

I loved coming here! There’s plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. They offer a good variety of sandwiches as well as drinks, including both alcoholic and caffeinated options. The sandwiches were very tasty, though I didn’t realize the chicken was deli-style and that was kinda disappointing.

I was there tonight, and it's a nice place for a grilled cheese or roast beef sandwich. However, the service was terrible. This is the second time I've had the misfortune of being served by the same rude staff member. Of course, I didn't leave a tip this time. Her demeanor doesn’t match the vibe of the space—she might be better off looking for a job where she doesn't have to interact with customers.

Love coming here ! Amazing selection of lunch items, pastries, and drinks. I love their matcha and their bee’s cheese grilled cheese, to die for ! I’ve even tried to replicate it at home. The atmosphere is very cute, curated, and eclectic. I find the service to be quite slow at times even when they aren’t busy. Definitely a waterloo gem though in a great location with lots of space.
