If you are wondering if you should check this place out, just do it. Very adorable cafe with a…read morewonderful outdoor seating area. There is limited seating inside but the patio across is also theirs. Inside, the walls are covered in different art work, the bathroom is located on the second floor. They have several options for both food and drinks. We all opted in for different varieties of bagel sandwiches. Lavender latte was different but tasty. The service was quick, they bring the food to your table. Overall, all of us enjoyed our brunch here.

It is on the smaller side, so seating is limited, but depending on the time of year, they do have outdoor seating as well. I got the Classic Breaky sandwich, which was a toasted cheese bagel with cheddar cheese, egg, thick-cut bacon, and their house-made aioli. I also got a pumpkin spice latte, and both were amazing! The latte was definitely the highlight for me. They make their own syrups in-house, which they add to their lattes, and you can really taste the difference. The pumpkin spice latte was a 10/10. If you're in the area, skip the Starbucks for sure! The breakfast sandwich was also really good, especially with the thick-cut bacon and house-made aioli. I paid around $20 for both, so it is a little pricey in my opinion, but I can appreciate the price more when the quality and taste are there. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Some friends got the features drink, apple cider ginger beer (non-alcoholic) and they raved about it. Even went back to get one for the drive home lol, so something to try! Overall, everything I had was a 10/10 for taste, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their menu, especially that apple cider ginger beer!

Awesome food and service. Was given a last minute reservation. Great time as usual! Rave reviews…read morefor all meals.

Argh. I have many feelings about The Bauer Kitchen…read more After a friend's wedding the night before, my partner and I went looking for a hearty brunch spot in KW to celebrate her early birthday. The Bauer Kitchen came up in my search thanks to its high ratings from locals and visitors alike (it's also featured on the Kitchener-Waterloo Cafe Passport). It was a rainy day, and we were lucky to find free parking nearby. Inside, the decor is rustic and industrial. It feels well established, though with a touch of sterility. Our server greeted us with warmth and attentiveness, which quickly made me forget about the decor. We both ordered the Champignon Benedict, since the combination of tomato salsa, basil pesto hollandaise, and portobello sounded unreal. I upgraded my side to the Parmesan truffle fries. The food took a while to arrive, but I assumed that meant everything was being made to order. It came with homemade ketchup and truffle aioli, both excellent. The ketchup was a study in equilibrium, bright with tang, rounded with sweetness, a faithful conduit for the very essence of the tomato it came from - almost spiritual. The fries were a pleasure as well, and so were the smashed potatoes, which arrived beautifully crisp. My only wish is that they'd been cut smaller: more golden crust, less unseasoned potato at the center. Now for the disappointing parts: the eggs on both Benedicts were hard-boiled. There were no running yolks, just fully cooked eggs sitting on the biscuit. And while the tomato salsa and basil hollandaise tasted great, the dish was strangely cold, or at best lukewarm. We mentioned it to our server, who agreed the eggs shouldn't have been hard-boiled, and the dishes went back to the kitchen. They returned shortly after, but the problems were the same: hard-boiled eggs and lukewarm food. The GM then came out to apologize and told us the meal was on the house, which we really appreciated. My theory is that much of the food is prepped in advance and only assembled when ordered (the waffles in my photo looked the same way). That would explain why the flavours, from the ketchup to the sauces to the salsa, are consistently good, while anything that depends on temperature control, like a poached egg, is easily ruined. It would also explain why the food never arrives piping hot. If that's the case, I'd strongly encourage The Bauer Kitchen to rethink its kitchen model. To end on a high note, our sweet server asked us to wait because they had a birthday treat for my partner: a lovely carrot cake that fully redeemed the experience. We're so thankful to our server and the GM, whatever the state of the food. We'll definitely be back to give The Bauer Kitchen another shot because of them. Food was 1.5 out of 5 in our visit while the service was absolutely 10 out of 5!!

Location: Middle of farm country…read more Parking: Lots. Although it's pretty busy there, so you may have to circle a bit if you want to park really close Building: It is pretty big and there's an entrance and an exit door although I don't think they're labeled.Just everyone knows. You walk into the store part, and then you turn to the left to go, put your name down to go to the restaurant. The restaurant waiting area is pretty big. They have church pew seed thing along the walls, and there's things you can look at Food: I think the thing they're known for is they're broasted chicken. I didn't get it it just looks like fried chicken I don't know what broasted is but a lot of people got it. They also have meats of the day. When I went the meats were the chicken, turkey and pork chop. Why I was waiting to be seated I was talking to a couple and a couple things were recommended the turkey dinner because they said it would be like having Thanksgiving in the summer and pick the cheddar biscuit. Every meal includes a fresh from the oven biscuit. Oh I have to say the menu does have other things on it like hamburgers and I think chicken fingers and such but most people just went for the meats of the day. That I could see So I got the turkey you can get small medium or large they suggest small for seniors so I picked a medium which was a lot of food and I'm a big eater. I also got a slice of pie there's a bakery with a lot Kadish you can buy and they fresh bake all the pies in the morning for us and I got a rhubarb custard pie and it was delicious. Actually the whole meal was fantastic so I got a turkey with stuffing mashed potatoes gravy corn cranberry sauce and a biscuit and a pie. It was absolutely delicious. I just wish that it was closer because I would love to go more. Everyone was friendly the food was good and they sell bakery items frozen items gift ware. I can see why it's really busy Oh I forgot to mention there's also a little farmers market in the parking lot Okay think that's it. So I would go again in heartbeat

LET THIS BE THE REVIEW TO READ TO SAVE YOU SOME TIME: 1) You…read moreCAN make reservations ONLY for the buggy booth IF you're a party of 4. Reservations are also allowed for 10+ people. 2) Call in ADVANCE to set aside your order of baked goods like their butter tarts, honey dip & apple fritter donuts, & pies. They usually sell out by late afternoon on weekends. 3) Call in ADVANCE to ask how long the line-ups are too, that way you can plan for a long wait or decide to do take-out instead! We spent our 1.5hr wait (Saturday ~5pm) perusing their very well-stocked store and walking the surrounding neighbourhood/furniture store. 4) I HIGHLY recommend coming first thing at opening time 11:00am OR right before 'closing' time 7:00pm. They will still seat & serve you as long as you arrive & put your name down by that time. 5) Cash & debit only. Now that's over with, let's chat about the food. I do love that it's a local business with Mennonite origins...they serve homey no frills mennonite-style meals that's reasonably priced. Nothing special imo but it is well-loved by the locals! The baked goods though...that's where it's at for me. The donuts are generously sized, yeasty with a nice bounce and chew. The Dutch pie and carrot cake is wonderful. Butter tarts and pie selection is great and love that they've got seasonal options. Broasted chicken & the sides are just OK - lightly seasoned with nice thinner crunch exterior with somewhat dry meat & lots of bones to eat around.

I have visited this restaurant before, has always been good. My last visit was the kickoff to my…read morebirthday trip to Kingston, and it was exceptional. Really love this place, because Stacked is one of the few breakfast places I've found in Ontario that offer gluten-free pancakes, waffles AND French toast. Most bfast places just offer GF bread, which is nice, but these days, with all the products available, I'll die on the hill that it's just lazy to not offer all menu items GF. Stacked always delivers. I picked up my rental car in Kitchener, and decided to eat breakfast before driving to Kingston. Good choice. It was a Thursday, but there were still a good number of diners eating...usually a sign on a weekday that the place is really good. I started off with the celebration of Cinnabun pancakes. Do you know what a treat that is? I don't eat this stuff at home and these taste like the best cinnamon bun you ever tasted. With the pancake stack, you will also get meat, eggs and potatoes. It's a big meal full of carbs yes, but always good to treat yourself on occasion...life is short! My server was Pratyasha. She is the most friendly and engaging server I've had at this restaurant. It's always nice when the server asks you a few questions and has a little conversation outside of just the food. She shows a genuine interest in her customers and it was much appreciated. Best server I ever had at this chain. She also knew that the sausage was not GF, and I always appreciate when your server knows that about menu items without you having to ask. Makes you feel safer about the food and shows they really care about their customers. The food came out quick and was delicious. The scrambled eggs were not dry and the bacon was so good. Potatoes were perfect as well. The restaurant was clean, including the bathroom and decor was cute. Easy free lot parking too. I'll definitely return. Hope Pratyasha is always my server!

Special mention : Pranjali made our experience even better. She is a great server and a good conversationalist. So we ordered a kiddie meal ( made some substitutes) - a birthday pancake and fries with apple juice. Avocado toasts, coffee, mango lemonade and cinnamon pancakes. For 2 adults, when the arrived on our table it looked like the food was for 5 people lol. Their pancakes are humongous and delicious. I could not finish even one. (A full pancake platter has 3 pancakes) the home fries are seasoned and delicious. They are addictive. Spicy home fries were topped with picked jalapeño, bell peppers and onions, and you can't stop munching on them. Coffee was a total miss. But overall a great place for brunch!
