As my last undergrad finals season comes closer, I am constantly on the lookout for cafes to study at while I enjoy a delicious cup of tea. During the last weekend, my friend and I took a bus to Kitchener to visit Matter of Taste (115 King St W, Kitchener, ON N2G 1A7). A quaint and picturesque coffee shop on King Street, this cafe is perhaps best known for the warm and friendly staff who go above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere for patrons. Hoping for a warm beverage on the cold day, we ordered a chai latte and a cappuccino. With the spice blend including a delightful mix of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and ginger, the chal latte had a warm and comtorting tlavour protile that provided a cozy embrace with each sip. The cappuccino was a stark contrast in terms of the flavour profile, with a bold and robust character from the espresso offering an invigorating kick that motivated us to finish the rest of our studying. Should you find yourself craving a good beverage and pastry, looking for a place to catch up with your friends, or simply a calm spot to finish your work, Matter of Taste is the place to be. Conveniently located on one of Kitchener's most active streets, this is the serene haven that you are sure to enjoy! Warmly recommended!

Finally, a café in KW where I think everything is perfect! It's a cozy and bright place with nice decorations. The coffee smells so good, and the packaged beans I take home are as good as the coffee I have in the cafe. In my experience, their lattes and desserts are never overly sweet, which is great. The gelatos are absolutely tasty and their flavors are natural and refreshing. The staff are always friendly and helpful without trying too hard to look friendly, which is another thing I love about this place. The café is usually quiet, making it an ideal place for reading. However, seating options may be limited depending on the time of visit.

Their coffee is so good I ended up buying a pack of their beans! The one I tasted (and ended up buying a pack) was called Traveller's and I drank it as a hot americano. I also loved their presentation (how they put much less water than usual like in Europe so the coffee can taste deeper, plus their cup, etc.) making it hands-down my best coffee in Canada! Part of my appreciation might have been due to the sub-par experience (or disgust, more exactly) that I had to endure previously at a McDonald's (which usually is above average), but who cares. Their coffee was good and I was so happy to be able to sip it somewhere else than in Europe!

Matter of Taste has been a staple cafe in our community. Bringing in community members from all over the region into the downtown core to connect over their variety of Espresso drinks , in house pastries and ice cream . Walk away with their roasted blends and different coffee making kits from their retail corner. Within easy access to all downtown amenities. The owners and baristas alike are super welcoming and friendly to new and regular customers alike! 5-stars for the coffee and customer service.

Quick visit, and the flat white was excellent and balanced, and the carrot cake absolutely hit the spot. Was pleasantly surprised to find the place still quite busy and vibrant with patrons at 4 pm in the afternoon, and I suspect that has much to do with the cozy and comfortable atmosphere. While the roadworks outside might make the spot a little challenging to easily reach, it is worth the bit of effort to park on a side street and visit. Very enjoyable all around

Good reviews on Google Maps lured me to this place, otherwise I probably wouldn't have come here. Their coffee is really excellent, and the ice cream was also very tasty, even if the selection is quite limited. The positives are the outdoor patio and nice decent staff. However, I find the design of the cafe so impersonal, cold.
