Mr. Puffs — Restaurant in Waterloo

Ever heard the saying that we reach out to sweet things when we are stressed backwards is spelled 'desserts'? Well, I decided to follow that advice when I was stressed, so I headed down to the newly opened Mr Puffs in Waterloo (220 King St N, Waterloo, ON N2J 2Y7). A heavenly patisserie specializing in warm drinks and their namesake puffs, I had been eager to try the store since I saw that it was under construction. When I went in, the store exceeded every expectation I had, serving a decadent platter of puffs.

With my sweet tooth cravings at an all time high, I got the cookies and cream puffs along with the choco bueno puffs. Fried eggless dough balls covered with flavored syrup, each puff was a bit of pure joy. Utterly crispy yet fluffy on the side, the delicious dessert melting in my mouth, and the resultant flavor was an explosion of sweetness that helped relieve me of my stress. Luscious and indulgent, these desserts were the perfect dessert to end the day! Highly recommended!

I'd been curious about Mr. Puffs for a few weeks and had the opportunity to try them in September 2025. Overall good experience!

Seems they were just making a fresh batch of puffs when I arrived so there was a 10+ minutes wait time for the order but worth it for a fresh offering.

I accidentally forgot to order the "stuffed" puffs but was able to correct it before the order was prepared. I feel like they would be a bit boring without the filling. I had the WowButter and Chocolate ones - very delicious! It was between that and the Cookies & Cream ones - glad I made the choice I did!

Despite my best efforts at self-restraint, I ate all six over the course of an evening and shamelessly scooped up the chocolate and peanut butter that had spilled into the container and ate that too.

The puffs and ice cream menu options looks very enticing as...

WOW! These are cooked amazingly. I ordered these for my work for my birthday. I ordered 2 boxes of 50 through Skip. Not only were they still warm but SO AMAZING. I got

Sugar Cinnamon Cookies and Cream Bueno Chocolate Hazelnut Choco-Loco Hazelnut biscotti

They were all FANTASTIC. My fav was between the Bueno, Choco-Loco, Chocolate Hazelnut... oh heck all of them were amazing and not one person here didn't like them. Everyone was amazed they have the crispy exterior and warm (funnel cake like) inside. The icing was the perfect amount and the presentation is amazing. I can't wait for this weekend. Helping a friend move so will get a few boxes of 50 for that. I can't say enough good things about them - these are worth the hype and not the same at all like a Tim Bit. These...
