The staff is super friendly and I appreciate the loyalty cards for coffee and bread. The bakery itself is small but so quaint being in an old historical house. If you haven't tried With the Grain, you're missing out on a Guelph experience.

Highly recommend for all special occasion cakes and bakery items! Can't wait to book my other daughters 2nd birthday cake! Thank you so much to the whole staff! You truly are a gift to us!

The counter service was quick, I ordered and was in and out in under 5 mins. Got lunch for two and it was about $32 CAD. Wouldn't hesitate to go here again, as their entire menu is healthy and fresh. Of course if you don't like any of their signature salads, you can create your own. Good soups as well, had their version of the French onion soup and it was also good. Definitely give this place a try if you tend to frequent Williams.

Chopped Leaf is a new chain that has now also opened up in Waterloo. The opening of this restaurant…read morecontinues the trend of more restaurants opening up in KW that cater to the health conscious crowd. The ingredients used in the meals are fresh and mostly non processed with the exception of the protein options like wild salmon, tuna, etc. You can make a meal our of salad bowl, design your own wrap, select from one of their signature wraps, or select one of their sandwiches. I have had the tuna melt and found it satisfying. Similarly, I have tried the various salad bowls, signature wraps as well as custom wraps. If you are really hungry but still want a healthy meal, I recommend going for the wraps as the portions are a decent size. Everything I have had has tasted great and most importantly I have felt great after eating it! For the drinks, you have your regular sandwich shop options but this being a restaurant catering to the health conscious, you will find freshly squeezed juices as well. Depending on what you are having expect to pay up to $11-12 with tax for the food. The freshly squeezed juices go for around $7. They allow take out or sit in. The restaurant itself is clean and well appropriately decorated. The service staff has been friendly and courteous on all occasions without exception. Overall, this location is off to a great start and I hope they keep it at this level and get even better. Highly recommended!

I visited for the first time on a Saturday during the Market, and sat outside. Had a veggie burrito, which was delicious, and then also got a pretzel from the stand set up about a dozen feet from our table. Service was pretty fast, considering how busy they were. They use little plastic animals to identify your table and order. I like that. I wish restaurants in my area did something similar. The Yeti also has a fun sign to go along with its festive name. And a water cooler, also, if you just want water with your meal. Wonderful place.

We stopped by for a quick drink and bite after seeing this place recommended in the Coffee Passport…read morefor K dubs, but unfortunately it ended up being a major letdown. We ordered two iced lattes: raspberry and lavender. They were ok, but nothing particularly memorable regarding the roasted beans they used. The bamboo straws were also frustratingly flimsy and kept breaking, which was especially annoying since the syrups settled at the bottom and you really needed the straws to mix the drinks properly. The major issue was the food service. We ordered a cinnamon bun and the Pregnant Sasquatch sandwich alongside our drinks, then waited nearly 30 minutes while watching people who ordered after us receive their food. When I finally went up to ask, it turned out the cashier had forgotten to send our order to the kitchen. This was stressful since we had an appointment in Toronto later in the afternoon. The cinnamon bun was then handed to us, which was sitting on the counter the whole time. Another 15 minutes later, a staff member came over to tell us they had run out of the artisan bun for the sandwich, so we had to choose an alternative. At that point, after all the delays and confusion, it honestly felt like some kind of compensation would've been appropriate. I ended up switching to sourdough bread. After waiting yet another 10 minutes, I asked if we could just cancel the sandwich altogether. The cashier assured us it was coming, and it finally arrived about 5 minutes later. To be fair, when I asked what happened, the cashier explained that they were very busy. But - there wasn't even much of a line when we placed our order, so the explanation didn't really add up. And unfortunately, after nearly an hour of waiting and spending around $30 on drinks and food, the sandwich itself was mid at best, Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype, and we probably won't be back.

Oh Seven Shores, how worthy you are of my praise…read more This has got to be one of THE spots I need to hit up when I am in KW. I love their concept, honouring the Earth-compostable containers, serving up local fare- supporting the surrounding area and being housed in a building with yoga. I cannot remember if this is a co-op or not. This place is definitely a hot spot, as it is usually always busy. And honestly, hits all the points for me... great space, both outdoor and indoor seating, food selection is varied and oh so scrumptious, their staff are professional and friendly. On a first name basis with their regulars. Whether it be a salad, a coffee and muffin, or a soup and burger, there is nothing you can't order that would not be mouth watering and well worth it. Generally I stick to my usual plant based burger. I have ordered it multiple times and it is always delicious. Sometimes, it's a long wait, yet whenever I take a bite I am reminded how worth the wait it is. I've dined in for breakfast, treated a friend to lunch. It is such a pleasure to enjoy this beautiful venue and experience it differently every time. If you live in the area, take a walk, hop on the bike, bus, scooter or get in the car and take a friend, you will be delighted! Thank you Seven Shores for being here and to all the lovely staff, you're awesome and appreciated. I very much look forward to my next visit.
