This was on my list of places to try. I'm glad we made it today. It was a pleasant surprise to see menu options labelled so we could easily find what was best suited. They have gluten free options, including baked goods! Tried the soup, salad, and grilled cheese. All the foods was really yummy. Service was friendly. Will definitely come back, not only for the food, but for the vibe.

Has to be my top favorite cafe spot in the city for me. Love the coffee and the vibe! Their cute corner with toys for toddlers to play with is always appreciated as a mom of 2! Keeps them busy while we can enjoy sipping their delicious coffee!

Always an absolute delight having breakfast here. Food is amazing and they have gluten free bread for toast. 10/10

Top place for all really great bowl of oatmeal! Comes with pecans, apple slices, a light sprinkle of maple syrup and real oatmeal.....plus milk on top if you want...as it's piping hot and the milk helps cool it down. The Seven Shores is always busy which tells you how popular this place is....but we always get a table here! My daughter had the Uptown omelette and it came with wonderful whole grain bread and peanut butter and jam! 5 stars!

Very cute cafe located in uptown Waterloo in calm neighborhood. They make amazing mocha latte and their bakery items are nice too. I recommend going morning or early afternoon as they are mostly sold by early evening. They have a really nice patio too and the baristas are professional and kind.

Stellar community cafe. Good size but cozy vibes, feels very welcoming and inclusive. The food was amazing and service top notch.

Perfect spot to start your day! Stopped in for breakfast and was impressed. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I had the tomato pesto cheese toast and butter pancakes, and they were perfectly prepared The coffee was strong and smooth, and service was friendly. There were vegan options. Highly recommend for a relaxing and satisfying morning!

Went here for breakfast on a Saturday around 9 AM and we got a table just in time. The place got really busy and rightly so. Second time here, excellent food , bakery items and coffee. Ordered the vegetarian burrito with eggs. Absolutely delicious. Also took some vegan brownies and cinnamon rolls home. They were gone very quickly :) A jewel in Uptown Waterloo. The patio is being redone so sitting outdoors isn't an option. Not in April anyway, can't recall when it will reopen.
