Barista & Cook - Waterloo

This place does some amazing burgers. We were feeling a little fragile from the night before and burgers were exactly what was needed. We had chicken and beef burgers, they were really tasty and hit the spot!

First time to this place and didn't disappoint at all. Had the brisket with hash and it was just beautiful. Well balanced, fresh and perfect portion. Will be back, that's for sure! Shame you close early (3pm) though.

Requested them to remove the egg yolk from the egg, waitress said we cannot modify the eggs, she went and consulted with the rest of the team came back 5 mins later and explained it's not allowed on the weekend (even though it's not busy)Got the egg on the side we are gonna attempt the modification ourselves Shocking haha wish us luck

A great local that prides themselves in the best quality food, presentation and deliciousness. Service consistently top notch and very dog friendly cafe!

Always lively although big enough to always find a spot, Barista & Cook is popular with Waterloo locals. The staff are generally very friendly (note, generally) whether you're popping in for a coffee to take away or if you're dining in. The coffee is great and the menu is diverse although I think, for what the food is, the prices veer towards the more expensive end of the spectrum.The acai bowl is a favourite of my boyfriend's and I enjoy the avocado on toast which has a couple of quirks to make a standard dish taste different.Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area although not a venue I'd say to travel to.
