“ The best breakfast restaurant in the neighbourhood. Although they have limited staff and seating capacity, the restaurant is still a popular destination. It takes about 20-30 minutes for your order to arrive but it’s worth the wait. ”
“ I have been coming to Darlise cafe fairly regularly with my boyfriend. The food is incredible. I decided to change up my usual order of the blackstone benedict to the chicken, brie and cranberry quesadilla. The chef didn't disappoint I was especially pleased with the food. Compliments to the chef. ”
“ Had the best breakfast at Darlise Cafe in Kitchener this weekend! Catching up with my friend, we enjoyed delicious food and top-notch service. The coffee was always topped up (bonus points for that!), and the prices were very reasonable — hard to find these days! I devoured the Chorizo Benedict, while my friend went for the Jimbos Buttermilk Fried Chicken Benedict. Both were out of this world. Normally a busy spot, but the messy weather gave us the perfect chance to snag a seat. Highly recommend checking this local gem out! Support local KW! ”
“ It’s been quite a few years since I’ve been, but I was so happy to be back. We had a delicious breakfast this past weekend. The food was amazing. The service was a little off on arrival, but Liz was amazing and made up for cold start. We had the benedict, blueberry French toast and classic breakfast, with coffees and a smoothie. Everything was full of flavour, super tasty and reasonably priced. The tropical jam is literally to die for! My only critique, play some music!! You could hear people eating and the dull drone of the fridges and vents. ”
“ The coziest Cafe I have ever been to, the server was so nice and was so kind, the food was phenomenal (my favorite things were their home made jam and their potato pancake), the ambiance was so welcoming and I'd reccomend this place to anyone. If I could give more than 5 stars I would this was the best breakfast I had in so long ”
“ This is a cozy cafe in the heart of downtown Kitchener, perfect for breakfast or brunch. The food was fresh and tasty, with a couple of well-made vegetarian options that really hit the spot. The menu had a nice selection of dishes. What made the visit even better was the service—the server was genuinely kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout. The cafe has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Not a huge fan of their interior, though, but their food hits a home run Highly recommended if you're in the area and looking for a great breakfast spot with good food and warm service! ”
“ Visited this lovely little spot this past weekend. We were seated immediately but warned of a long wait, but told to trust that it would it would be worth it. We were served our coffee and juice order and waited maybe about 50 minutes, but when the food came it was delicious. We ordered a California hash bowl and bananas foster pancakes to split between 2 adults, and a kids chocolate chip pancake with bacon meal. Very tasty and filling and brought home a leftover pancake that warmed up well. They also gave us some of their homemade jam for the toast that was a tropical fruit blend. Would definitely visit again! ”
“ My favourite breakfast joint! I love the Eggs Benedict !! Perhaps try the special if you don't love the standard Benedicts. No TVs. A touch of elegance! 15/09/2024 - a new menu and I just tried the Philly Beef Benedict and it was excellent ”
