Friendly and cosy. Busy during lunch hours tho. Nice lil delicate cafe.
I visited Seven Shores this weekend after a birthday party. We came with about 7 people and waited at the front for a few minutes before being told to seat ourselves. Once we picked a table and were ready to order we were directed to the front counter where the menus and cashier was. I picked out an omelet (which was quite good), it came with some tasteless toast and tasteless cantaloupe. I then paid - and included a tip as i assumed would be for service. I sat down and waited for my order. 5 minutes later the waitress came by and told us that our coffees would be coming one by one on the near by counter - if we wanted water it was also available at the self-serve table. I then went to the counter to make my coffee and bring it back to the table. 5 minutes later the waitress came and brought me my omelet and quickly whisked away. I flagged another worker to ask for cutlery - this is yet another self-serve item - i proceeded to the counter to find cutlery. I paid $12 with tax and tip for a half decent omelet, crappy toast, and tasteless fruit. Our food came one by one and half of us were finished before the other even had their plates. My Saturday mornings should be easy and hassle-free, if i wanted to serve myself i would have stayed home! I can't see the appeal of this place, and i shall not visit again.
Waste your Saturday morning waiting or goto Angie’s on Erb. The old lady at Angie’s can teach them how to run a breakfast place anytime.
Fresh food, more like homemade... Good coffee, family friendly. One of the best patios in town...
Great little independent coffee shop with a decent menu for breakfast and lunch. The spring rolls and scones were delicious! Not a huge place but definitely enough space typically to find a table.
The Seven Shores has a warm community vibe and a welcoming atmosphere. Great selection of small bites with gluten free options.
Brunch
Service was very quick. Food was good and was just like other brunch places. Overall a good visit.
Very cozy work co-op owned by the workers, and with no net profit, bringing the prices down. Great spot to push tables together for a big group, have a nice date with someone special, or lounge outside and read a book. They have these cool Hitcher's lemonades I would definitely recommend.
cozy dining and light dishes
One of the best cafes in KW. Excellent coffee with some great options on the food menu. Some sandwiches are average though.
Vegan options! Had loaf and pancakes. Cozy atmosphere. Very busy
Although I've only visited a couple of times, Seven Shores has always been a pleasant experience! It has a very nice interior and the location in Uptown Waterloo is great for accessibility. The food was enjoyable. Looking forward to visiting again once things open up.
Tasty breakfast and great atmosphere. Specially appreciated the play corner for little ones, my daughter enjoyed playing there while we enjoyed our breakfast.
This is a fantastic place to eat with lots of healthy choices. We'll come back again if we are ever in the area.
Stylish and quaint cafe close to a very central area. They have a cute little patio for days with warmer weather. It's owned by locals who seems to really care about it :)
Yah! Hippies with biz sense.
Amazing community vibe and local products
Used to be my favorite place until new owners, don't expect anything to be out in the morning on time like Vegan loafs or a variety selection or fresh food after 2pm. Coffee is mediocre at best considering the selections close by, same goes with the loose leaf tea. Everything really has slipped in quality and convenience, don't expect them to be open any time during their 2 week holidays from Christmas to Jan 4th.
Love this place! The atmosphere, food, coffee and service is great. If you're looking for a good place to sit down and work, definitely come here.
Delicious oatmeal with granola!
Great food and environment. Lots of options gluten-free, vegan, etc. Environmental friendly.
Really good spring rolls here! All vegan too. Breakfast was good and the place is super nice. It has outdoor seating and beautiful interior. Lot of folk come by here on our Sunday brunch. It’s right next to UpTown so it definitely does attract a crowd. We would love to come again for the spring rolls and also try some of their desserts/pastries :)
The staff here are so lovely! The coffee is amazing and there's a really nice feel to the place in general, very welcoming. It's also a great location, super chilled just off the main road but still nice to sit in the sun and chat, work or people watch.
We love this place. Best coffee in Waterloo
Great place but limited selection on food.
Very good dollar value! Clean eating area and washrooms were also clean
Perfect place for coffee lovers with kids
It looked nice from the outside and we went inside, but it was 2:30 and they had already ran out of almost everything. We had to go somewhere else
Great atmosphere, coffee, and patio. Vegetarian food was good.
Great food, lovely atmosphere. Great for studying as there are tons of plugs everywhere
Great food, great atmosphere!
So good
Great coffee.
Delicious, with a farmhouse table vibe, this feels communal and welcoming, plus yummy and fresh.
Hot food isn't served after 4pm, only drinks.
Nice community shop with great food.
I decided to check this place out for the first time today and it certainly won't be the last. I ordered an iced latte with maple syrup and it was perfection - just the right balance of espresso, milk and syrup. I also got a nut butter M&M cookie and a vanilla peach scone and they were also both quite delicious (especially the cookie). The atmosphere is cozy and they have plenty of outdoor seating (which would have been great had it not been so hot today). Another thing I appreciate is that they have a little play area for toddlers/kids, so it's also very family friendly. The customer service is also awesome. I'll definitely be back!
Nice. Healthy organic food. Great decor and atmosphere
Came for the live music and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, service, and especially the coffee. Had the omelette and it was generous and super yummy. Will be back!
Nice cozy restaurant. Food was very well made and fresh. I ordered eggs sunny side up, and I could tell that real butter was used to fry them (which is rare since most places use oil). Highly reccomend.
Lovely little cafe and lunch spot. The spring rolls and the sticky buns (Fridays only!) are standouts on the menu. Great patio with decent shade, and ample indoor seating.
Seven Shores provides a model that all cafés should strive to follow. Living wages, locally sourced foods, exceptional coffee, and a genuine desire to serve their community.
The food is good and a great price.
Great atmosphere, coffee and meal!
Great service, excellent coffee, tasty food choices and beautiful patio. Definitely recommend this place.
Great sandwiches and light food. Good options for gluten free, dairy free, or vegan fare
Delicious hot beverages ☕, tasty treats ????, and a cozy outdoor patio for plague times ????.
Great place and children gratespace
long wait, getting a seat can be dodgy, great food and coffee though
A nice order-at-the-counter type of place. The brunch is affordable and reasonably priced. We had the pleasure of enjoying a live band while we had a brunch meal. The place is children friendly and even has a play corner set up with kids activities.
Friendly, locally sourced, living wage and VERY delicious food. Try it out!
Great food and great atmosphere. I love that it is always busy as that lends a sense of excitement. A couple of points to note for first timers: food is freshly prepared so don't expect it to come instantly after ordered. Also, the kitchen is not walled off and the ventilation is weak at best, so you and your clothes will leave smelling like a kitchen when you leave.
The 3 egg breakfast was delicious and ready quickly despite the growing lunch crowd!
Quiet but trendy place to chat over good coffee or have some work done
Great place, great food, great staff, great owners
Nice place but limited menu and I found it a little over priced. But the coffee was fantastic.
Atmosphere and Customer service is excellent. All employees are very friendly and helpful. I tried their breakfast burrito and house-made chocolate milk. Quality was so good and reasonable price. They have a nice outdoor patio in the front. Parking is available in the backside.
Delicious food, friendly staff, and quick service. A fantastic place to eat.
Ordered a tray of your amazing spring rolls for a party I was hosting and they were such a hit! Love that you offer healthy and delicious catering options and am grateful to have your cafe in Uptown.
Decent coffee. Had a bit of a weird vibe when I went there. Service wasn't the friendliest.
Great experience! They have a tent with a heater and it was quite comfortable. I had the Urban Omelette and it was quite tasty. Recommended!
Great little community Cafe in the heart of uptown Waterloo. They serve breakfast and lunch, and are open till 3 for full menu with a limited snack menu available till 5, 4 on weekends. Lots of seating for students and others working on laptops, with free wifi and refills on drip coffee. The uptown omelette, urban farmer and egg and old cheddar are classics.
Love their food, especially the salad specials.
I love this gem of a breakfast and coffee stop, its a bight and clean cafe with healthy food choices and sharp quick staff.
Lovely place for family-friendly brunches or spontaneous hangouts
Lovely atmosphere and customer care. Lots of eco friendly options and the drinks were amazing!
I loved the place, everyone is super nice and polite. Also, it is one of the best hot chocolate that I have ever try! The breakfast menu is really good, it is worthy to check it.
Best local food spot- always healthy with vegetarian and gluten free options!
Oh I loved this place, the food was awesome and the coffee was good. Tonnes of things for kids! They have a play area so my kid played with random other kids whole we talked the whole time.
Family oriented cafe. Community focused and delicious food.
Staff always have smiles on their faces and the seats are almost always full of people enjoying their specialty drinks and delicious gluten free scones. I'm not a daily regular (as many are), but can usually be found at Seven Shores at least once a month for a meeting in their great 12-15person private space drinking a tea steamer. This cafe is an integral part of uptown and the local food community. Highly recommended for coffee meetings, healthy snacks and a clean, urban atmosphere.
I like it. There is a small parking slot behind the building. There are few options to choose but it is well done.
Love the feel and the community vibe from the employees, really awesome food and great coffee.
Found this cafe in uptown Waterloo and really loved it. Perfect spot for brunch and coffee dates. Staff is friendly. They have open patio with quiet atmosphere. I got fresh spring rolls - perfect for vegetable lovers, buttermilk pancakes were best. Got macchiato that was good as well.I highly recommend this place and will visit again for sure.
Good good. Locally sourced.
I love this place but they need to put some sound baffling on the ceiling!!
Awesome local food and coffee
Good morning breakfast stop in Waterloo, place is clean and sources quality local foods,
Nice community cafe, local vibes, small playarea for kids, free coffee refill, always fresh fruits on the side of my pancake, their spring rolls are amazing
Delicious food, great atmosphere! I highly recommend the scones! Mmmm
I was a fat kid and they were holding a tray of the sweetest chocolate brownies. Environment was quaint and cozzy. People were friendly. Food was good. Coffee was amazing. You have to check it out if you are in town.
Great food popular spot
Ok coffee and tea, great food for the price. Have enjoyed coming here for years.
Amazing place! Thanks
What a cool spot to enjoy a delicious variey of treats, breakfast or lunch. The coffee is amazing too. I had a vegan oat square that was to die for. Everything is made from scratch on location. The location is great and the seating area is very cozy. This is definitely a gem.
Nice atmosphere. There was plenty of GF selection. Good coffee.
Great give, great food at an affordable price.
Coffee is good but place is not nice
Really good food in a relaxed environment
Cute little brunch place in town. Nothing exceptional.
Used to love this place for their quality food and coffee. Our Americano tasted like water, muffin was stale and yet spent $23 for 2 Americano, 2 latte, and 1 muffin. It’s hard to support local when quality is low and food is overpriced
Great cafe, the food is amazing especially the spring rolls! It’s a great place to hang out with friends or study. There’s also always something going on, very community orienteers. One of my favourite places in Waterloo! There’s also parking nearby on Regina :)
Great place to have quiet 30 minutes. Nice coffee selection. They offer good breakfast choices, too.
Very nice place for a cup of great coffee
Awesome everything... all the time! From atmosphere and service to variety and quality, wrapped in consciousness.
Excellent coffee and the baked goodies are delicious and the aroma in the cafe is awesome.
Love this spot. Great atmosphere and food.
Great coffee and lunch offerings. Friendly, helpful staff.
Yummy food! Good for vegetarians and vegans.
$35 for browned tip lettuce salad, pocket sized veg soup with microscopic kale, glilled ham sandwich & and a coffee. 1 of the stars is for taste. For a place that seems pro-health, the seasoning was relatively tasteful. Also saw a waitress microwaving something in front of the counter...try hiding the microwave behind the counter or to the back of the kitchen to avoid giving off the appearance that food is being re-heated.
One of my all time favourites! Great food, great atmosphere, super friendly staff. Definitely check this out! Veggie wraps are delicious, wait can be long but worth it.
Great spot. Unique.
What a ???? gem! It’s a cute little coffee shop with great coffee, baked goods and a full menu. I had a great pat milk latte and magic bar (omg) and a farmer’s omelet.
A very nice cafe tucked on a side street behind a branch-covered patio. Very friendly service and a nice atmosphere. Tasty coffee and tea and pastries, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Nice place to sit and read a book, or do some work on the laptop.
Tasty food and great people.
Amazing place! Whether for a meeting or a quick cup of coffee. One of the best gems in KW.
Awesome and amazing food! Excellent staff!
Perfect place to start your day.
This is great meeting place. I recommend it to all my friends.
The atmosphere here was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating. They even have a back sitting room where you and a group of friends can go and gather around together. The coffee was amazing and the spring rolls are always a must. LOVE THIS PLACE !!
Meal type
Good food, healthy options and a great area for kids.
Nice and clean place to go with your friends
My favourite thing about this cafe is that they make their baked goods fresh in house and they usually have 1-3 vegan options which is rare for baked goods at a cafe. Ive seen them make vegan cupcakes, banana loafs, muffins, cookies, granola bars, lemon squares, sticky buns all kinds of things! They also have great, healthy foods. The soup of the day is occasionally vegan as well and they have oatmeal, spring rolls, hummus and veggie dip and a veggie burger that you can modify to be vegan. I eat here and study here all the time and I haven’t had a bad experience. They could have easily made their two washrooms one for male and one for female, but they chose to go with gender neutral signs instead which is very nice and makes customers more comfortable. I just wish they were open a little later.
Love it! Great selection of food and warm service. Would definitely come again
The staff are friendly and the lattes are delicious.
Hipsters and regular folks will love this place!
This place is "good vibes only" sort of a place. I don't know what is about the place that it just feels like a peaceful safe space in the chaotic uptown. On a sunny day you will have all the sunlight coming in and making the perfect breakfast environment, and their food compliments the vibe. My favourite is the turkey panini but I have tried other things and everything has been great, really good portion size as well. They also have the best Mocha in the city and probably the best scones. Breakfast doesn't get better than this in Waterloo
Here it just feels and tastes just more healthy then other places nearby. Love the pancakes and uptown omelette!
Love seven shores. Great vibe if you like a natural and rustic feel. The food is amazing for those that have restrictions. They have the BEST BAKED GOODS FOR VEGANS AND GLUTEN-FREE. It is busy and sometimes hard to get a seat, but well worth it.
Favourite place in town for coffee, snack, or light lunch! Kid-friendly. GF/DF options.
Excellent place with a good hipster vibe, and an excellent place for one on one meetings. Definitely a good place to hole up with a laptop for a few hours.
Super cozy spot for a late breakfast or tea
Walked 20 minutes uptown to this cafe with a friend in the morning for their great coffee and loved being able to sit outside in the shade as well to enjoy it.
Wonderful hospitality ???? Had a latte which was fantastic. The cookies were delicious too. Great setting. Owners are lovely people.
Adorable, super cozy spot with rustic, wood-accent decor. Their breakfast food is excellent, simple, and light, which I find to be very rare with breakfast food as it's often made too heavy, rich, or greasy. Most specifically, they make some of the best, light, fluffy, airy, thin pancakes I've ever had. Also, the orange slices tasted actually fresh and refreshing! I love coming here for breakfast or brunch.
Great place for a quick bite
Service
Take out
Great food and very friendly staff. Remember it is a community style cafe, so please take up your plates when finished!
I regret not adding avocados to my sandwich but nonetheless, it tasted really good The scone was ????????????????
Great americano and English muffin breakfast sandwich. Friendly place and great atmosphere.
Best café in Waterloo!
Yummy food, friendly staff. A wonderful place to sit and meet people
Fresh and delicious!
Favorite spot to grab a coffee in KW! My office away from home when I have the time, absolutely love this place.
Cute little place to meet up with friends for coffee or a quick bite
Breakfast
veryyy cozyyy. I just ordered a simple breakfast of eggs bacon and bread. One of the few places where there's so little grease in the eggs and bacon. Healthy af
PHENOMENAL first time visit to this wonderful spot! Everything so fresh and REAL tasting! I can't wait for my next visits to work my way down the menu - all yummy looking! Today's decision was the fantastic breakfast, with farm-fresh eggs, super-delicious back bacon, and some wonderful homemade jam and almond butter for my multi-grain toast! Yes, I've used a lot of exclamation points here, but this place is a winner! Thanks, Seven Shores. We'll see you again soon!
One of the places with most character in kw. Family and community friendly and welcoming. Their coffee and menu is great.
I really like berry smoothy and jinger cookies here. Also the atmosphere is lovable.
Kid-friendly, even has a play kitchen for them!
Nice vibe
Excellent food and great atmosphere ????
Food is decent, but coffee is not very good. Lovely place though, very nice staff.
Food was tasty but it took 35 minute for breakfast to be served..the seasonal fruit side was underwhelming.
Has a good number of gluten free options
This is my favourite local cafe. The service is so friendly, and the food is delicious. We were at their Mother's Day tea today and it was the PERFECT way to spend the afternoon. I cannot recommend this place enough.
It was very busy when I visited the place but I really enjoyed it. It's got a homey and cozy feel. People had their laptops opened and working away or chatting over drinks and baked goods. I went at around noon-ish on a weekday in the summer and there was live music on the patio. Prices are good, selection is great and just an all-around awesome place :)
Amazing cafe, great food and pleasant atmosphere
Dope food dope deals. Loose leave tea make ya scream xo
Fantastic service. Wonderful, fresh, local food. Laid back, hip, and cozy ambiance.
Lovely quint little cafe. Good coffee & fresh ingredients food. Friendly service. Will be back to try their bake goods. ????????
Great environment to enjoy a coffee and meet with friends.
Wonderful food and staff! Will definitely be back!
Always enjoyable. A friendly, casual vibe and a fun play area for little ones.
Good eats, good vibes
Delish. I had a Chai latte, and a ginger cookie. The cookie was perfect for dunking. I found it a wee bit pricey, but the latte and cookie were huge. My hubby had the chocolate milk, not overly sweet which is great. He had a raspberry pistachio muffin. And was delicious.
Limited options. Food is pretty simple, yet overpriced.
Beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff. Had a London Fog that was delicious.
Delicious, local & healthy
Lovely little spot with great atmosphere and food
Love the veggie fresh rolls and the brie panini ????
Overall experience was pretty good. Staff were friendly. It was interesting to see the play area for children. Interesting & different experience.
Delicious breakfast!
Great little spot. Excellent food and excellent service.
Favourite breakfast place in KW. The food is fantastic , very clean, not greasy. The coffee is great and the staff is wonderful.
Excellent coffee shop, with good espresso and very well portioned menu options. Everything is delicious - you can't go wrong!!!
A little expensive but worth it all. The cappuccino with fall-spice was so yummy. The eggs and cheese were perfect. And get their famous spring rolls early. Start serving at 10am and they soon run out. Must visit!
I really like this place. For only a couple dollars more than McDonald's, you're getting very delicious, healthy, ethical, and environmentally responsible food. Not the fanciest interior decor, but the outside is great in nice weather, and frankly, I'm going here for the healthy, yummy food. It's also a coffee shop, so some people do stay for awhile. Extremely nice and polite folks. Organic snacks at reasonable prices from a side fridge on your way out, with no waiting!
Found the place to be dirty. Floor was filthy. Maybe it was just an off day but the children's area looked like a place to not have a child on the ground
Comfortable place and good food
Wholesome in every detail! Great place for friends to gather & move the chairs & tables to fit us all!
Great options for gluten free, super friendly staff
Great lunch spot, the sandwiches are amazing. Friendly staff too.
Wonderfully bright and open cafe. I had a delicious Americano.
Wonderful spot to grab a coffee and healthy bite. Nice and relaxed.
My favourite cafe in the city! Great food, locally sourced, fantastic coffee, a great vibe and wonderful staff. Wonderful events there too
Great place to grab breakfast and coffee. The prices are quite reasonable and there is plenty of seating available.
Amazing little cafe to sit down and catch up on some extra work! The food is not only local and amazing, it's super affordable!!!
What a lovely place, such a great atmosphere and delicious food. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food to your table. I’ve heard it can get busy and take a bit to get your food but it would be worth it! We didn’t have to wait long on a weekday morning. We were too early to try the spring rolls but heard that they are the best, so will definitely be back!
Nice place, very friendly staff. On Fridays there are sticky buns that are so good. I wish there were more vegetarian options. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. You pay at the counter and place your number at the table and wait (not table service). There is also a community room for rent.
the uptown omelette was quite excellent. friendly staff and atmosphere and they bring the food to you. just a tad on the expensive side.
Really enjoy the community flavour of Seven Shores. Great place to escape to and enjoy a coffee and read the paper. Great service as well.
One of my favorit cafe.
Long wait. Poor service and few staff.
Ordered eggs over easy they came charred and over hard, baked goods were quite tasty along with their selection of beverages.
thank you Steven Shores
Great fresh food and good coffee - a great lunch spot.
Carson was kind enough to treat me to the breakfast omelette and goddamn was it fluffy! Great way to start my morning before practicing hot yoga. Ended off the breakfast with a coconut mango muffin. I don't need to say anything other than: coconut. mango. muffin. One of my favorite places in Waterloo! Other than Phil's, of course.
Great coffee, food and friendly atmosphere. In the summer there is an outdoor patio to sit and visit which is lovely. Try it and enjoy.
It's a nice place. It fits the genre of the New Age wave/increase of hipster-like young folks cafe and eatery. A comunity minded cafe but with a posh flavour. Last time I was there a group of folks beside me were planning some kind of actvist campaign directed at subverting instituinalized patriarchy. Which is great. Inclusive, gender neutral bathrooms hower i think it would be difficult manuvering an assisted walking device or wheel chair inside as the space is a little cramped. The food is great, the coffee is great, they have delicious baked goods. It's been packed every time i've gone there. Not a great place to do homework or study unless you're on your own as the tables aren't large enough on account of the cafe's popularity. They pay their employees a living wage so major kudo's to them for that. The fare is expensive but understandably so.
What a cozy wonderful place that has such delicious food and drinks!
Awesome vibe. Great place to spend a morning or afternoon working, or to spend a lazy weekend.
I would go just for the baked goods. The coffee and the community culture are bonuses.
All the staff are so friendly and relaxed with some great food and drinks. Very homey vibe to it.
Love this place! You're my favourite people in the world ????
Cozy cafe with amazing food. Spring rolls are to die for, and the soups are always amazing. Highly recommend if you’re in Loo!
It's a cute little cafe and a great spot to hang out with friends and be comfortable. I also liked their smoothie. I totally recommend.
Had a meeting here. What a nice local place to grab a bite or coffee. It was clean and lots of seating available.
Food is good, decently priced. Gluten free options. One of my go to spots for lunch. Service can sometimes be supppeeerrrrr slow. Sometimes the cashier is making the specialty coffees while customers are waiting in line to order. Better not be in a hurry if eating here.
Nice ambiance, children playing area
decent food. Very very crowded place, ended up waiting for long time for a free table.
I do like this place. Food is nice coffee is good. But there's just something that makes it a little off for me. I think it just gets loud at times.
Great local place, good prices for locally sourced food, nice variety, excellent coffee
This is a very popular hangout. You might have trouble finding seating. The coffee is excellent. The food is terrific.
Well priced, great service. Yum!
Nice place to hang out. Sometimes a bit noisy
Great place for a breakfast and lunch with friends. Most organic food.
Good food and great lattes with unique flavours like lavender and maple! Great atmosphere, too! It's often pretty busy so finding a seat can sometimes be tricky.
Decent taste of food and many options for people with different diet habits. Best americano.
Great americano. Nice location. Staff was friendly.
As far as Restaurants go, there are a few key areas that a restaurant needs to do well in to run a successful and enjoyable establishment. 1st - Customer Service - The employees from the woman working at the front directly with patrons to the employees buzzing around at the rear in the kitchen, all of them have smiles on their faces, and emit a positive and friendly energy and environment. 2nd - Food - The food is not only healthy and delicious, but is carefully plated and displayed so that when you receive your food it actually looks like something you want to eat and are happy about receiving. But not only was the taste and presentation wonderful, the price+value of what you are paying and receiving is spot on. 3rd - Ambiance - The ambiance of this restaurant is amazing. Lots of natural lighting, a beautiful and shaded patio space for outdoor sitting, very subtle but great selection of music playing, and carefully placed bright and happy artwork. All of these things come together to leave you not only satisfied but eager to come back and visit again and again. My only wish is that we didn't live so far away in Toronto! Absolutely a must try!
Great coffee and treats. Nice lunches and appetizers as well.
I am finished with this place. I have bought veggies and hummus twice. Both times with rotten veggies. The first time I had food poisoning and ruined my weekend. Today I was more cautious but when I got to the bottom veggies the carrots were rotten. I took them back and the worker asked "what can he get me?". Seriously! Nothing. No offer of a refund. I am done. I will drive to another spot to grab lunch. It makes one wonder just how fresh are the veggies on your sandwich?. Pause for thought.
Good coffee, very warm and inviting in the afternoon
Tasty vegan spring rolls. Breakfast good too but no home fries or microwave to heat up pastries.
Cozy cafe with the yummiest food. I love their fresh rolls and homemade veggie burger. They have gluten free and vegan options. Only downside is it can get busy and hard to find a table at peak hours. But that happens everywhere, and I love that they are sustainable in composting and recycling as much as possible.
My go-to coffee shop. Great homey atmosphere, beverages and healthy food options
Great coffee and free refills.
Very good
Home away from home! Such a warm atmosphere and so much love! And the food is so fresh and delicious!!!! ????????????☀️
Great place for a meal and a good cup of coffee.
I love this little gem of a place. Food is really good quality, prices very fair, staff always friendly and smiling. Always playing fantastic music, not today's music. Open kitchen so you know that you are getting food as fresh as your own kitchen at home. Love this place.
My favourite cafe in KW. Delicious Sloane tea and food options! There's often live music on weekends!
Very nice for a light lunch and coffee.
Beautiful cafe. Interesting menu and good vegetation options.
Great atmosphere and really love the food! Which they were open for longer hours during the day
Great cafe!
Friendly staff, moderate prices and many different seating options (outside, indoors, by the window, etc.). Not very busy during the weekdays.
Great place! Great staff! Great, well priced breakfast! And from what I hear, a great place to work.
We used the community room to hold a meeting. Great location, and excellent experience for our meeting.
A cute coffee shop in town. Nice patio seatings and great coffee. Banana bread that I had was little soggy but the coffee was great.
Great omelette and coffee! Enjoyed my first visit with my friend.
Great little spot. Great coffee and a great menu for breakfast or lunch. Very friendly staff. Ideal to meet over a cup of coffee or bring the family for breakfast or lunch. Great little play area for toddlers as well.
Community centred café where everyone feels welcome with consistently friendly service. I love that there are always vegan baked good options available!
This is a hidden gem right off the main strip of Uptown Waterloo, lots of seating outside including a covered area. Complimentary throw blankets to use in case it gets chilly. I love that you can see right into the kitchen and see them working away making delicious treats and meals. Everything I've gotten here was absolutely 5 star, quick and friendly service. It's not hard supporting local when we have great options like this :) My fav is the peaches and cream tea latte - yum yum yum
One of my favourite places in Waterloo!
Nice little place with good food but the hours aren't great and the water tastes like it's from the tap.
Great healthy food options. The spring rolls and soup were wonderful as was the Breakfast sandwich. Kid friendly and great service. Clean gender neutral washrooms.
Good organic food
Amazing hidden gem in uptown Waterloo! Tried for the first time recently. The almond butter blondes were fantastic. Perfect patio with all physical distancing measures in place. Definitely will be back soon :)
Cozy spot with great healthy food options. Enjoyed a wonderful breakfast here with loose leaf tea
Friendly staff and good food and coffee!
One of my favorite places. I regularly meet friends and clients here. Great atmosphere, and food. Very inclusive and family friendly.

Take out
Good coffee. Food was okay.
Excellent food & friendly staff.
Hot Cider was diluted -- quite disappointing even compared to Tim Hortons old powered version-- this may or may not be the same thing. The wrap for the cost was Okay at best, but quite unimpressive for the price; places have much better for a lower cost. Plus it was quite a long wait for a wrap, turkey, tomatoes and cream cheese 7-10m. Mainly i think their overpriced for what you get -- or the quality doesnt suit the prices. The latte was okay, but again after all of the previous its hard for a coffee to dig you out of a hole more or less. I've come here a few times, ive been progressively unimpressed more each time. Given the 4.6 rating im seeing, i would say this is overinflated from post COVID-19 reality we find ourselves in. I will come back here most likely in a few months and update my review if things change.
Absolutely love going to this place
a cute coffee shop in uptown Waterloo. Service is really nice, and the atmosphere is comfortable
Nicely located in the heart of Waterloo. Amazing food and the staff are super friendly. They promote it as a community cafe and it certainly feels like it. They follow all health and safety protocols. A nice spot to enjoy a great coffee and a delicious brunch in Waterloo!
I love Abe Erb's beer. I come here a lot. I also appreciate being able to fill my growler here.
Great food and friendly staff. What more could you ask for? Also good drinks for non coffee drinkers which I appreciate.
YOOOOO THE SPRING ROLLS ARE OFF THE ⛓ good place to bring your grandma - locally sourced too ???? - there weren’t any monster cookies tho and I’m tryna be the Cookie Monster you feel? Overall great time
Great food with healthy options
Wonderful little community based cafe. I am not a coffee drinker but their tea latte was wonderful. I had a Cream of Earl Grey tea latte that was just the right blend of sweet, foamy and bergamot. I also ordered a day old orange muffin that was just a buck, tasted homemade and was moist and delicious. All told the the latte and muffin were under six dollars. This is exactly the kind of local business I like to recommed! I would warn that this is a better place to grab and go that stay in (even were it not for COVID) it's dining area is quite small so I wouldn't choose it for a sit and chat coffee or lunch with friends but if you want to grab something and then sit outside in nicer weather or walk around uptown then this is your place!
Asked of the had lactose free milk, told me the had soy and almond, started arguing with me when i said that that's not really milk.
Incredible local coffee shop / cafe with lots of great locally sourced foods.
Since the pandemic, most coffee shop's quality has drastically decreased. Fortunately, Seven Shores was able to maintain a good standard for their coffee. Their fall spice latte was enjoyable and their berry crumble bar is pretty good. However, there were at least 2 flies that I saw landed on some of their pastries which is very off-putting... Perhaps they can benefit from putting glass covers over their pastries to prevent flies from landing on it.
Great coffee and snacks along with a relaxed atmosphere.
Funky in all the right ways. Hope your social cause seating is tight but customers seem to know this and adjust accordingly and politely. Bathrooms are nice and clean when I was there. Very very eco. Like super eco. Don't be looking for disposable anything not even evolving disposable. Place can be rented out after hours if you know the right people. Also has a separate meeting room space with French doors. Check your chair though some we saw were broken - support spindals on legs missing pieces left to put back together on window sill.
Freindly staff... Great coffee and food... Just a wonderful experience ...
Great food, good portions at a reasonable price.
Great maple latte and raspberry scone was amazing. Definitely love going here and will return
Fantastic coffee and baked goods.
Great food, nice atmosphere. A bit on the pricier side, but worth it for the local sourcing and great coffee.
A good local breakfast place!
Great place to meet friends and have coffee and a baked good.
Food is absolutely fantastic - cannot say this enough. Service was mediocre - often slower wait times, and on occasion have forgotten orders. The staff has been rude in the past. Pros: Fantastic Food, Good atmosphere Cons: $$$, slow, not super friendly
Best coffee in town! Great food too.
Cozy cafe I enjoyed brunch on the patio
Menu has greatly improved! Offered lots of food items. I would be careful if you are avoiding any foods. Ask the server as sometimes the description is missing key ingredients (i.e. cheese). Higher price point for food and drinks but there is a lovely outdoor seating area along with plenty of seats inside.
This cafe has very good coffee and food. Some of the new staff are nice to talk to, it has been a smooth transition for the owners. It is such a great location and the patio is comfortable.
Very tasty, healthy food, great selection. Can't beat the community-minded service.
Love this place So far everything I've had I've LOVED Staff is Great!! Very relaxing place to chill
What a great breakfast place!
Great food.
Wonderful little coffee/sandwich shop.
The prices are quite affordable, the tea is great, there is lots of room to work or meet, and the food looked amazing.
Very yummy Good, friendly experience and warm atmosphere.
Great coffee! One of the best I've had in Waterloo. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and overall good vibes.
Great little cafe with a nice outdoor patio
I love this place! Great for meeting people or sitting on your own for hours. Fresh spring rolls are my favourite and their green smoothie or coffee is good too. The patio is also nice when it's a good day out.
Nice little spot that is geared towards the public of that area. It has a coffee shop atmosphere and it has good food - only thing that I didn't like about the place is that you ordered as though you were in a fast food place even though they bring you your order and do the busing. Even though it is there for its regular crowd it is a spot I would definitely go to again.
Hands down my favorite cafe in town! I can't say enough good things about seven shores. Such friendly service, delicious breakfast and pastries, and did I mention their dark roasted coffee with a free refill? It's incredible that they can operate such a great cafe for everyone in the community while keeping the menu prices low.
A good cosy cafe with plenty of space. The menu is a little limited.
Edited: The staff are still excellent, and always super friendly. However, the quality of the baked goods has declined.
Usually very crowded during lunch times but friendly staff with tasty menus (cheese with cracker is a must!!)
Cute café close to the beach! A great spot to sit and chat with friends ????
Service
Soooo goood
They made a baby's meal for my 1 year old. I appreciate it a lot.
Open early. Nice breakfast selections. Cozy atmosphere.
excellent sandwiches and baked goods!
A lovely community experience from service to food!
Okay coffee but amazing staff and atmosphere. Their outside seating area is my favourite place to study uptown.
Ordered selection of sandwiches, salad, desserts, spring rolls and house-brewed tea for a lunch with Toronto (vegan) executives. Everyone raved about the lunch, and loved the vegan options. Ordering through email was easy and Julie was great to work with. Definitely will order again.
Very tasty breakfast Bagelwich, extremely friendly service!
Very pleasant atmosphere and nice staff. Good coffee
Great food, amazing cookies! I had my first ruben ever and was not disappointed!
Food is amazing, staff really friendly and very knowledgeable about their food and ingredients.
Great food and plenty of fresh dessert nicely displayed.
Really good food, awesome people, always smiling and making sure you have a good time there. I love coming here to work on my thesis. The ambiance is perfect for dates, family time, studying, or just to catch up with friends. 100% recommend to everyone!
Best coffee, their oatmeal is MUST. Very friendly and cosy environment. Perfect for a relax brunch. All their food is organic and local, homemade and delicious. Highly recommend it. Friendly staff.
Great atmosphere and the coffee is pretty good as well.
Small space, really crowded, feels like I couldn't breath
Great place to have a talk with a friend. Good food and warm staff
Friendly staff and cozy environment.
This is a nice cafe near Uptown Waterloo. It is a lot larger than a lot of cafes and offers a variety of food and drinks. I was here for breakfast and felt the food was reasonably priced, tasty and filling. It is nice to have locally owned cafes like this as they offer a really nice atmosphere that is not usually found at chain cafes.
Good food, good coffee, good atmosphere. Bit on the pricey side, so not a place to eat every day, but a great place to go for a lunch meeting or meetup
Really nice little place with good food and great selection of tea.
Their spring rolls are honest to God delicious and I would buy the sauce they come with by the bucket. Cute atmosphere, prices are reasonable, and you're supporting a cooperative business. They cater too!
Great place to eat especially if you want an early breakfast, I went there around 7ish, I have noticed lately not many places in Waterloo to have an early full menu breakfast but this one does, the prices are good as well, not too cheap but you can have a platter for 12$, which for me is really good considering the prices of all the places lately, between Mel's Diner and seven shores, I would pick Seven shores for sure. This was my first time here so the lady behind the counter was really helpful in helping me pick out a menu. Also the parking is convenient, there's one behind the building, sitting area is nice with wooden tables and I really liked that you have to put your own plates and utensils back in the designated area, I have tried the omelette platter and latte here which were both really good, the platter was decent sized and what I really liked here is that no body bothered me, I just sat there and did my office work on my laptop, the staff was also very friendly at 7am, I'll definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you Seven Shores.
Great atmosphere, great food and friendly staff.
Friendly, awesome food, great atmosphere.
Absolutely the best coffee & bake shop! The patio is awesome! The service is warm & friendly! The best coffee in Waterloo!
Delicious fresh food as always! LOVE the spring rolls and the soups are always amazing. Love the outside patio for the summer!
Probably one of my favorite cafes. Their food menu is small which makes it easy to decide what to get because you aren't overwhelmed by all the options. Everything I've ordered has been delicious. Pastries are good too, I recommend the chocolate raspberry muffin. The coffee has always been good too. I recommend Sunday brunch here
Nice place, try the Cheese and Crack!
Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. I'll be returning for sure.
Healthy, organic, and sustainable foods offered at a good price. One of the best places around! Also very good teas.
This place is really good! Local, delicious food, good service and good location!
Interesting menu that changes occasionally. Quality and price are good.
Very welcoming cheerful staff..Great coffee and baked goods...a hidden gem.
Great smoothie and fresh glazed donut! Reasonable prices and lovely aesthetic. A good community spot for lunch, coffee, or a quick bite.
Used Seven Shores to cater a friend's wedding morning prep. It was amazing and fresh. They made me look like a superstar. The leftovers were still good the next morning
I beutiiful alfresco (if you want) Cafe in uptown where you can enjoy a filter brew and home made granola bar on a moderate budget. Demonstrsting Socially and envornmental stewardship i really enjoy my visits here... and right near the trail system!
has a very homey feel but service is a bit slow
I've been a customer since the beginning.....always enjoy the friendly personable interaction with staff.... excellent quality food choices for vegetarian and vegan diets......a Big Shout Out to everyone who has been involved in creating this great little gathering place bringing forth a wealth of abundance ????????
Personable staff on site! Cute cafe with electric outlets and Internet. A good number of seats available for a smaller store. Perfect for studying or intimate hangouts with friends. Music was played at the perfect volume. And their coffee was great, and they offer free refills. Food is decent as well.
I always enjoy the Great coffee and food at Seven Shores! A good place to catch up with a friend. I love that they have a kids play corner as well.
Fantastic food and service! And sustainable, too!
Decently pulled espresso
It's my local coffee shop snack and lunch spot. Friendly, community atmosphere.
Gluten free options are delicious. Out of this world spring rolls.
I drove by this place a couple of times not knowing what it was, but often thinking that it seemed fairly quaint. Intrigued, I looked it up to see mostly positive reviews and decided to go with a friend for breakfast. And then I went again, and again. The food is always prepared fresh and very flavorful, I'm personally a big fan of the breakfast burrito. The same can be said for the pastries. All food and coffee is very well priced and quite satisfying. I'm a big fan of their coffee as well, as it has a lovely aroma and distinct taste. On a last note, the service is always fast and very friendly, they really make you feel at home. I highly recommend it for brunch or an afternoon coffee.
Excellent cappuccino and Americano.
Staff was wonderful. Rather than dumping out coffee at close, they offered to top up our mugs. Perfect place to meet up with a friend.
Ready delicious homemade breakfasts and lunches at affordable prices!! Had homemade tomato and fennel soup with chicken and pesto panini so good!! Really good coffee too! We'll go back again for sure ????
Had a damn tasty chicken sammich with chips and a sweet hot chocolate. Great little place, friendly staff, love the patio!
Very friendly and good vegetarian options. Locally grown which is great for the surrounding community
The spring rolls are delicious as is the Farmer's breakfast. Simple, honest food prepared fresh. Busy spot so finding a table is sometimes difficult. But worth a visit.
Super hot
Outdoor patio is fantastic......go try
GREAT CUP OF COFFEE!!! LOVE IT EVERY TIME!
Great place to relax or meet friends. Gluten free scones and veggie burger are both amazing. The coffee hasn't grown on me but it's certainly made with love and care.
I had grilled cheese and a kind of tomato soup. The tomato soup was reall rich. It was gucci
I had an Americano coffee. Very good. My partner has the Chai latte, not good. Food is more expensive than we expected.
Love the crew at Seven Shores! Great vibe, food and coffeeeeee
Great staff, great food and excellent coffee. What else can you ask for???
Best iced coffee I've had in a long time! :)
A typical independent cafe. Prices are not so high, food selection is okay Atmosphere is nice. Good thing: free coffee refill!
Fresh greens, great quality bun, and tasty sandwich. The cappuccino was also quite good, with a great aroma.
The kitchen closes at 3pm. Great food and coffee. I enjoyed the atmosphere as well.
For once, a place that understands that cappuccinos have less milk! The coffee was good, and the omelette was okay. Not bad, not fantastic, but okay.
Food was subpar, it took 30 minutes for my meal, and it's too cramped in there to even breath.
A little pricey, but great atmosphere, free Wi-Fi, friendly workers and customers, beautiful space and delicious food
The place is amazing. Great sandwiches, salads are always fresh, muffins are delicious and all products are local. I would give it five stars, BUT the expectation time is insane. I was here for lunch and I had to wait 40 minutes to get what I ordered. Also you need to grab your coffee first, so when the food was brought, my coffee was already cold.
Office away from home. Always run into someone you know and overhear inspiring conversations, often between people who have just met.
Good for vegan/gf treats. Specialty coffee is good too. A little pricey, but good quality.
Seven shores is Waterloo's most cozy and friendly cafe, they have terrific food and pastry options which are all made in house. There are plenty of tables and outlets, and even a meeting room at the side they they open up when no groups have booked it. The staff are friendly and the lattes are delicious. It's a good place to meet a friend, grab a bite, or get some work done.
Lovely place, outstanding vibe and helpful people!
Would prefer more vegan options.
Nice healthy food but the apple cider drink is not tasty
Love the food, the vibe, and the outdoor seating in the summer. A fine place for a latte and light breakfast.
Waiting time is a lot to have your order!
The best people, the best scones, and the best sticky buns. Get a raspberry scone or a sticky bun if it's a Friday.
Seven Shores is a fantastic little cafe with amazing food, a great environment and a great patio out front. It's pretty easy to spend quite a bit of money though.
The omelet was great; I could choose from a list of different fillings. Great to have a tasty aged cheddar. Multi-grain bread was good, too. We should have sat outside on their patio which is well-shaded.
Awesome patio and atmosphere. However sometimes the service is a little slow but generally its amazing. The spring rolls are my go to order.
Lovely food, lovely atmosphere and the staff are so cheery! Great meeting spot for a quick bite and a coffee with friends. Totally recommend!
Not good at all. The food never tastes good there and the quality is embarrassing
Good food and atmosphere
We were in Kitchener for an appointment and decided to treat ourselves to a nice breakfast. It was absolutely amazing. We ordered on line and picked up a breakfast burrito and an uptown omelet for a picnic in our vehicle due to it being minus 16 outside. Every single ingredient of each breakfast was carefully chosen and of an exceptional quality, brilliantly put together and cooked to perfection. Excellence right down to the packaging and service adds to the wonderful experience that we had the pleasure of enjoying today. We will be back many times to enjoy other menu items.
Great place! Friendly staff and fresh delicious food. I love the seasonal oatmeal and peaches and cream tea latte! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
Our favourite cafe! Always a joy to visit
Great breakfast!
Very cute and fun place. I love all of the options, everything I have tried has been fantastic! Best decafe capachino I have ever tasted.
Tasty food and drink, but typicalltypically busy and noisy
Excellent quality. Try to avoid the rushes. Saturday morning 10am 20 min to get a coffee. Tastes great though. ????
This place is good and cozy. Prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is very cool and hipster. I got the apple cider and it was really warming and not too sweet. I loved it here !
Great healthy food options made with local ingredients and excellent specialty coffees. Relaxing atmosphere, friendly service.
Amazing food! Great service!
Fantastic scones and coffee!
Such a great place to grab coffee or dessert. They even have a play area for young kids!
Nice Cafe. kids friendly: has a play area with toys and drawing paper/crayons.
Great coffee great food great vibe!
Simple, healthy foods. Great vibe. Friendly staff. Love this place!
Limited seating, really good food, nice options (gluten free, diary free, vegetarian). The place is cute and has very quick service! I liked the atmosphere. I highly recommend for a great tasting quick bite to eat. (Bonus points because they have a lot of healthy options!).
Really great coffee and breakfast options. I love their granola bars and pancakes as well as their egg sandwich. Service is always a bit slow so don't come if you're in a hurry and need to be in and out quickly but otherwise it's my favorite local café and I would highly recommend checking it out!
Where friends frequently meet for a breakfast chat ...
Great coffee shop
Waiting time was pretty short, got a panini and it tasted great. Staff are kind and talkative. There was a tap you can just fill your drink up yourself, I really enjoyed that. Only complaint is that the place is only alright. Temperature was a little warm when we went in. Worth going to, though.
Went there today, nobody showed up to attend for more than 15 mins. Zero on hospitality no matter how there food tastes.
Great place to sit and talk . Great coffee.
Awesome place, usually very busy! Great food for breakfast and lunch, amazing baked goods, and lots of vegan and gluten free options which is great!
Really like the Euro, care free atmosphere here. Great coffee, good food. Nice place to work with a laptop.
Delightful local hangout just off the main street. They prepare fresh foods every day (try soup or a sandwich!). Generous portions in a friendly, inviting atmosphere. Look for posters advertising events and other activities that take place at Seven Shores. They have a great "meeting room" space that be used for workshops, talks and other events.
A super sweet community café with delicious breakfast and vegan/vegetarian options :)
One of the best cafe's in town. Great food options (vegetarian and non), coffee & space to work in. Highly recommend it
Good food, good coffee and a great room and vibe. Good place to meet friends.
Cappacino was small and not hot. Too bad. 4 bucks each
7 40 am and one other customer on the patio....went in to get a scone to take out...literally there for 40 seconds yet was harassed to sign in for tracing...used to honour this place but no more...we all want to be safe but that is utterly insane...staff will loose more customers if obvious overreach like that continues.. you are in business to sell product not to bother people who literally are in establishment for a minute for take out............your response is simply NOT TRUE....IT IS NOT appropriate or warranted to demand that anyone write their name and phone number to buy a scone...you never did that in the past two years of me going there...which makes you a lier
Great little Artisan coffee shop. Good place to get work done.
A great cozy spot for great food and espresso. Excellent staff that are friendly and courteous.
Breakfast, lunch, in house baking, hot drinks, cold drinks, wifi, patio (spring-fall) awesome staff and easy parking all around. Favourite spot in uptown.
Friendly staff and good coffee!
Love this place, always delicious and fresh meals
An impressive cup.
Yummy food, local, & super cute! Vegan options and lots of space to sit and outdoor seating. Very friendly as well!
Friendly service, food is decent too. Wish they used reusable cups for their sauces.
Breakfast was very delicious. Omellete cooked with free range eggs and lots of veggies. Fried eggs were cooked exactly as requested. The medium roast coffee was not too strong with a good flavour. Everything was cooked fresh and served hot. Patio was comfortable with natural shade.
Lovely place to sit with friends or on your own
Very popular for a good reason. Their berry side salad is incredible!
100 mile diet compliant and vegetarian options.
