Amazing food, staff, and drinks. Wish the place was bigger as the shop can get pretty full some mornings.

There were many types of coffee. I ordered a smoothie, and it was delicious. We also ordered a turkey bacon sandwich and a salmon bagel to share, and it was quite filling. Most of the customers were seniors. They served the food to the table, but water was self-serve.

This is such a cozy cafe. The matcha latte is great for the price and the service is great, they bring it to your seat if you’re dining in, which isn’t super common these days. The one in the picture is the 12 oz one! I also had a pecan square, sooo good and really sweet. I thought it paired well with the matcha, which wasn’t too sweet. They play some nice music too!

Cafe O is a hidden gem for coffee and dessert lovers. Their menu is a true delight, offering a variety of unique coffee blends and indulgent treats. The must-try items are their matcha coffee and hazelnut coffee. The matcha coffee strikes the perfect balance between earthy matcha and the smooth richness of coffee, creating a truly refreshing experience. The hazelnut coffee is equally impressive, with its creamy texture and nutty undertones making it a comforting indulgence. The desserts are just as exceptional, beautifully presented and full of flavor. Each bite feels like a work of art, complementing the coffees perfectly. The ambiance of the cafe is warm and inviting, making it an ideal spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant experience from start to finish. Cafe O clearly takes pride in their offerings, paying attention to every detail, from the quality of the ingredients to the overall atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place that serves amazing coffee and desserts, Cafe O is a must-visit. It’s the kind of spot that keeps you coming back for more. A well-deserved 5-star rating!

SO GOOD!! I went here for the first time today and the food was absolutely excellent. Best iced mocha I've ever had and my pesto chicken sandwich was amazing. The vibe of the cafe is super cute, and the staff were very helpful and surprisingly speedy considering how busy it was! I will definitely come back. Thank you!!

A Little Slice of Coffee Heaven Cafe O is truly a hidden gem in Kitchener-Waterloo area. If you're looking for a cozy, charming hideout that offers both a relaxing atmosphere and amazing coffee—this is your spot. The first thing you’ll fall in love with is coffee selection and well curated menu of sweet treats and savory breakfast menu. We ordered spinach feta danish (crisp flaky and fresh) and snickers butter tart ( perfect sweet , little heavy you need to share) Coffee - Hazelnut and Caramel Latte (perfect sweetness & delight to coffeeheads) Last but not least the aesthetic. I loved every corner with quotes and frames which touch your heart. Calming vibe -whether you're catching up with a friend , family, reading a book, or just need a peaceful break in your day. To top it all off, the baristas are friendly and genuinely sweet. Lots of parking. Notes: Has collection of books- grab one and indulge in reading. Kid activity books are provided as well. I see a good community of people stopping by and having a good time here. Met with two elderly people and listening to their stories melted my heart. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, Cafe O feels like a warm hug in cafe form- you might just fall in love too.
