I went here today for the first time, I was really craving a cupcake and this spot had some decent…read moregoogle reviews so thought I'd give it a shot. I ordered 1/2 a dozen cupcakes, and a strawberry lemonade. The cupcakes were priced reasonably at just $2.50 each with a deal for buying a dozen or 1/2 dozen. And I'm happy I decided to stop by, first off the service was great, the sales lady was kind, attentive, and great at answering questions. As for the taste of the strawberry lemonade it was good, cold and refreshing but, it was much too sweet for me, so I handed it off to my boyfriend who didn't mind the sweetness and actually enjoyed it. The cupcake flavours I ordered were the blueberry lemon(with fresh blueberries in cake), vanilla with sprinkles, and strawberry cupcakes(with strawberry pieces in cake). The cupcakes were delicious some of the best I've ever had!! The buttercream frosting was thick flavourful, and just enough was on the cupcakes to perfectly complement the moist and not too sweet cake portion of the cupcake. Needless to say this is definitely my new go to spot for cupcakes in Waterloo, and I will be back to try some other baked goods too, such as a scone or muffin next time, as they looked great too.

I ordered 12 assorted (well, 12 assorted, but I had to ask for specific cupcakes bc some of our…read moreguests are on the spectrum and nobody likes the same thing, but everybody likes something specific and nobody can share. if you know, you know. ya know?) Anywhoo, I called and ordered and they said no problem they could accomodate ppl with disabilities (which is awesome. It's not something they do normally - you just order '12 assorted cupcakes' and a get a mixed bag of nuts. every single cupcake is great tho. you cant really go wrong) and I picked it up and took it home and then I TRIPPED AND FELL and had to rush back and replace my order and (thank goodness) they were able to do that right away. Moral of this little story is the cupcakes from this place taste great whether they are smushed or not, but they are super pretty when they are not smushed. I 100% recommend this bakery.

I'm so grateful for The Cake Box! My husband had to be in Kitchener at the last minute during his…read morebirthday. I'm in California and I wanted to make it as special as I could. The challenging part is that my husband is allergic to gluten. Nothing on Doordash or Skip the Dishes was coming up. I emailed The Cake Box the day before his birthday and they were extremely helpful and accommodating. Not only was The Cake Box able to bake his favorite flavor of cupcake (chocolate) , they delivered them for a minimal fee and added a birthday card. My husband is a picky eater and he LOVED the cupcakes. This made me look like a super wife! Thank you Emily and The Cake Box for saving the day!!

We are from Toronto where there are tons of gluten free options, but nothing comes close to the Cake Box products. The desserts were delicious (I can't believe the icing is dairy free), not crumbly (a common problem with gluten free cakes) and simply gorgeous. I haven't had a gluten free "confetti" cake since I was a child - this brought back wonderful memories.

Warning: These baguettes, cakes, and Danishes may cause extreme happiness and crumbs everywhere!…read more#FoodieHeaven

The cheesecake was delicious; it was fresh and fluffy. I was afraid that it would be too sweet for us but it was just right. On top of that, the cake was really pretty looking.

BEST in Kitchener! I have searched in this funny little town with not many straight roads…read more... Hands down better than the rest in Kitchener, Downtown Waterloo and Waterloo outskirts. The bake goods are FRESH FRESH everyday, this is a little shop and I wish they were bigger and closer to Fairway Road. Actually they could open another location, that is an idea. The Dobos cake is fantastic, and the Romanian Kids Cake ( Translation). They have some Romanian and Hungarian prepackaged spices, noodles, etc. I am fine with the price they charge, I just wish they also had bread and were closer to me! LOL All the best to Crema, keep it coming and to the readers: enjoy anything you get there!

The tart…read morecrust was not the best, I do prefer a slightly thicker and crispy crust; it may have gotten soft from sitting out all day? The custard is quite generous and sweeter than I prefer. It was my first time and very frankly I struggled ordering because none of the items had pricing so I felt I was disturbing someone to ask pricing of cannoli and tarts...would prefer pricing listed. Not even the website has pricing. Parking is pretty busy, it seems to be busy in waves and there are two entrances into the location. So drive in carefully.

Been hearing about their fantastic Tiramisu for a while and finally got the chance to try it out. I…read moredon't usually go to downtown Kitchener very often and this trip totally did not disappoint. Environment: The cafe is located a little bit west of the Charles Terminal, probably around 20mins walk, but the 7 bus stop is right in front of the store. I immediately saw the array of cakes and other bakery items upon walking in the door. The atmosphere at the bakery was great, suitable for sitting down and grabbing some coffee and treats with friends. There doesn't seem to be many students visiting due to the distance from schools, so it's more of a local favourite. Food: I got their signature Tiramisu, which was $3.10, pretty decent price in my opinion. My friend got the cheesecake which I believe was $3.50. The portions of the cakes were pretty big too. The Tiramisu definitely lived up to my expectation, and I especially loved how smooth and flavourful the mousse part was. Would definitely come back again for their Tiramisu and maybe next time I will try out their Portugese egg tarts as well!

Pho Anh Vu Waterloo…read more Came to Canada for some personal items, decided to come here. Everyone said this was the best pho. I agree. This placed delivered. Came out piping Hot. Flavorful. Plenty of meat. Excellent presentation. Beautiful decor. Price was right. Service was good. Many guest. They give you little garnish because the bowl comes out full to the max. My large was excellent and extremely full. My wife complained because she just asked for meatballs but they overfilled her bowl with meatballs! Meatballs and more meatballs. Nice job! Wow. You get what you pay for. ***FYI, I'm a crazy pho eater that has to have pho from all over. I travel far and in between the states. Eating from LA, Vegas, MN, WI, MI, IL, NC, OH, Manhattan, NY, FL, KS, MS, D.C.,TX, Canada, etc. I've had the best pho (rated by the expert locals) in LA, Hollywood, Chicago, GA, and FL. I make reviews after tasting their pho. I know what pho is good and what is fake!*** Do not miss this GEM! If you live outside Canada, try this place !! My Star System: 1=Dumpster fire. Don't waste your money 2=Disappointed. Lot of issues 3=Average, 1-2 issues. 4=Above average, I might come again 1-3 times per year 5=Highest. I will come back a few times a month or more. If I live far, it's at the top of my list to visit when I'm in town. Highly Recommended

Pho Anh Vu - Waterloo is a great location to get some Vietnamese food. The portions are great,…read morelocation perfect, and they definitely have a better use of this big space than previous tenants! They even have the Banh Mi store to the side of the building to serve those customers separately. They are Cash/Debit only (no discount). We were here as a party of 3 and paid around 100$ for a lot of food plus leftovers. Very worth it, all in all. Food came out quickly within about 10-15 min or ordering while the special item took about the time they indicated. Ordering is all managed by website (QR Code), but you can get staff to take orders manually if needed. Paying is at the front, they don't push you out when you are done. Tea is free and they will refill if called. All takeout containers and free to be used as well if you have leftovers. Floor staff is a bit passive, only really bringing the dishes and managing cleaning/refills, and the cashier is at the front (semi self-served). We had the: - 37. CƠM GÀ NƯỚNG, SƯỜN NƯỚNG (grilled pork and chicken broken rice), the chicken was juicy and tender and the rice super soft and fluffy, the sauce was perfectly seasoned - 48 BÚN THỊT NƯỚNG, CHẢ GIÒ (grilled pork chop with spring rolls and rice noodles), the noodles were the perfect texture, the meat was juicy and tender, also perfectly seasoned - S4 BÚN BÒ HUẾ ĐẶC BIỆT (spicy Hue Style Beef Special noodle soup) (only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday), they had many options on the website to remove certain portions of the meal like no blood, no cake, etc. very flexible and customizable - 10 CÁNH GÀ CHIÊN NƯỚC MẮM VỚI XÔI (takes an extra 20 minutes) (fish sauce fried chicken wings with sticky rice), this was a hidden gem, its super crispy wind/drumettes, great classic Vietnamese grill flavoring (garlic, salt), it takes some additional time as it is freshly fried It was a great meal and will be back to try the rest of the menu, especially in the summer for their cold drinks!
