I came here for lunch today and it's one of the best little cafes I've ever been to. I got the capicolla panini and it was so yummy! I love apple anything so I had to get a slice of apple cake and it was the best I've ever had - so fresh & moist - it was perfect! The prices are very reasonable too! Delicious food, great quality. Will definitely be back every time I'm in Waterloo.
Such a cute little cafe in uptown. The decor is very quaint with a European feel. The service was friendly and welcoming. Note that it is a smaller space in a building, so there may be limited space for bigger groups. You can choose from the food menu, but they also have desserts that you can order in the front. Tried the apple spice cake, chai latte and Toscanini panini - it had prosciutto, Brie cheese, fig spread and eggplants with a salad. The panini used focaccia bread and was a decent size, however the food and drinks was overpriced overall.
Cute atmosphere, decor, and vibes in uptown Waterloo with a lot of seating. Lots of coffee, tea, desserts and sandwich options.
I wish I could give 0 stars to this cafe due to the fact that the owner yelled at me until I was in tears. Went to this cafe to meet two friends to study and support a small business instead of a franchise like Starbucks. Ordered my food and asked the staff the protocol for getting a table, they told me to wait until one was open. Once there was an open table where 3 people could sit I went to the table. Immediately the manager or owner came and yelled at me in front of the whole cafe saying I was not next and the couple in the hall who hadn’t ordered was supposed to be ahead of me. I calmly asked her if the couple could sit at the table for two that was available and I could sit at the table for 3 and even explained that I had spoken to other staff about getting a table and already ordered my food. She continued to yell at me making me cry in front of everyone. The lady told me I “knew nothing about covid restrictions and rules” meanwhile I’ve been working this whole pandemic in the emergency department of the hospital, wore an N95 into her shop, and have 3 vaccinations…Once my friends arrived they asked to speak with her where she was rude and unprofessional to them as well. I’m a student that lives uptown and enjoys spending my time studying at a small coffee shop often, but I will never go here again. I would rather take my money and generous tip somewhere where I am treated like a regular paying customer and not scum on the ground.
Caf'e 22 is the perfect place to pick up sweets that suits everyone's taste.Staff are pleasant very efficient all with a smile!!!
Pumpkin pie was ok, and the americano not bad (too hot), but the attitude of the staff was afwul!
Went for lunch and had the Greek chicken salad wrap which was made fresh which was okay. Service was very slow in serving food. No menus you order from board on wall.
Appreciated I could make reservations. Food was delicious and substantial. Liked the atmosphere, and seating was compfy. Soup tasted homemade, desert was scrumptious. Lunch for two was pricey though. Soup, salad, wrap, 2 desserts and coffee $50
Lovely,friendly atmosphere.Did not try to rush you out .well presented home made food. Will recommend it!
