City Cafe Bakery - Kitchener, Ontario

Owner's amazing attitude ! Forgot to bring a cash. The owner told me to bring it next time if I'm a local. Even there is no cash register. What a wonderful Kitchener !

Without exception the best baked goods in the region. This place will warm your heart. Go extremely early for best results. I don't want to say what the owner did for me cause I'm afraid people will take advantage of this generosity, but I still can't believe it. They are such ... kind people, it's beautiful. Read more

I’ve been coming to City Cafe at this particular location for a couple of years now. I often come with my family, friends or alone after running an errand. Their fire wood bagels and warm coffee is affordable and delicious. I don’t often write reviews, however I thought I would ... write one after a short interaction with Robert - one of their employees. Robert was kind, passionate and welcoming. Thank you Robert and staff for your work. I recommend others to give this place a visit. You won’t be disappointed! Read more

Amazing fresh baked goods. The croissants are the best in the city and the $11 lunch sandwiches are amazing value. Tons of meat, baked in the wood fire oven. So yummy
