Darlise Cafe

Visited this lovely little spot this past weekend. We were seated immediately but warned of a long wait, but told to trust that it would it would be worth it. We were served our coffee and juice order and waited maybe about 50 minutes, but when the food came it was delicious. We ordered a California hash bowl and bananas foster pancakes to split between 2 adults, and a kids chocolate chip pancake with bacon meal. Very tasty and filling and brought home a leftover pancake that warmed up well. They also gave us some of their homemade jam for the toast that was a tropical fruit blend. Would definitely visit again!

Been here for brunch with my SO several times. Extremely good brunch fare - the chicken & waffles Benedict is fantastic. They also have a hot sauce that is homemade, wonderfully flavourful, and SCORCHINGLY hot - perfect!!

Always heard great things and the experience did not disappoint. Service is great, but the food does take a little bit to come out so it's highly recommended to get the French Toast sticks to tide you over.

The Norwegian Benedict was amazing and the Boca Benedict was really good too. Definitely can't go wrong with their hollandaise sauce so just choose the toppings that speak to you.

Will definitely come back again.

Cozy and friendly atmosphere - orders are prepared with attention to detail, and the quality is above average for a very fair price. It's perhaps not the quickest spot to brunch but it's worth the wait.

Definitely recommend the French toast sticks and the Norwegian Eggs Benedict. Did not prefer the potato pancake side as it was dry for my taste.

This is my go to breakfast place whenever I’m in the Kitchener area. The staff are always super welcoming and kind. The food is fantastic - with anything from basic breakfast options to fun, creative, and tasty dishes. I highly recommend that you try their eggs benedict. The atmosphere/overall vibe is pleasant… they provide a nice space for table conversations without overpowering the eating area with music or otherwise distracting noises. And finally… if you love a good hot sauce, Darrel makes his own and he is not messing around! Truly a HOT sauce that goes super well with breakfast!

Amazing breakfast spot in DT Kitchener! We had the French toast bites, which were delicious in the caramel sauce. The meals (chicken waffle and eggs Benedict) came with potato pancakes - full of flavour. The fruit cup was a generous size. Thanks!

There might be a wait. They will text when ready. The coffee is excellent inside a large mug. I hardly ever order pancakes, the icing suger drizzle with blueberries did not have a chance. Bacon seemed like it was done in the oven. Eggs Benedict was also excellent. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

I read previous comments of how slow service was and was expecting so. Service was really fast, server was friendly and attentive and kept refilling our coffees. We ordered the Liz and the Darlise crepes and they were really good. We were not a fan of the hollandaise sauce but the sweet potato pancakes were delicious!
The french toast sticks were so good but the 5 point reward goes to the sauce! It had a citrus flavour and was thick and just the right amount.
Coffee was also good.
Strongly recommend and looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time.

This is one of our favourite places for brunch on weekends. There is a good variety of food options, tasty, good presentation and reasonable prices.
The staff is very friendly and always courteous.
We love the French toast sticks, the eggs Benedict and the chicken waffles.
If you are into hot sauce, ask for the chef’s hot sauce but be careful!

A friend and I went here for brunch and as a first time mom I was so thankful to find this restaurant to be family-friendly! They had an appropriate high chair I could use for my 8 month old to sit at to eat with us safely (I had prepared some food for her). The waitress was incredibly sweet and the blueberry French toast was delicious!

Amazing kids breakfast! Their hollandaise sauce is also perfection.

Always great service. Food home made never disappoints. Always delicious!
One of our favorite go to breakfast places.
It's the best.

Excellent brunch, the eggs Benedict were very tasty and the entire menu was well-priced and affordable. Highly recommend.

Living in the Region for almost 15 years, why have I JUST tried this place?! The Smoked Salmon Rosti is now my favorite brunch item. Incredibly affordable prices for high quality food and attentive service. I'm relocating all my upcoming brunches to Darlise!

Had a wonderful breakfast (California Bowl, Eggs Benedict) with very hot hot sauce! Love that the jam and hot sauce did not come in single use disposable plastic but reusable bowls! Reasonable priced and great service for four of us!

It nice place to have your breakfast.
Good is delicious
Service is good
Quality of feed is good

Food is so delicious here and the chefs here really care about the food they serve. Service is also great here. They have gluten free options here which make me so happy. Best spot for breakfast and lunch in kw.

This place quickly became a new favourite breakfast spot. Absolutely love the various Eggs Benedict’s - hands-down the best in KW. Always a busy place so there’s a bit of a wait for food but it’s definitely worth it!

Perfect breakfast experience. Very friendly staff, great food, brought out after not too long a wait. The place could be a little better lit, and there is no air conditioning, but that did not concern us much.
We went back on our second day in Kitchener, because we were so pleased the first time.

The banana pancakes were a huge portion I could not finish, even though I would have liked to. My wife’s omelette and oatmeal with fruit were delicious, too. If we ever get back to Kitchener, this is where we’ll go for breakfast.

I absolutely love this place for breakfast. Extremely friendly staff, fantastic home made food, and good prices. When we travel to K-W, breakfast here is the highlight!
