The atmosphere is perfect for a brunch spot. Food is always delicious. I've tried a number of menu items and I've enjoyed everything. Service is slow. We waited about 55 minutes for our food, but it looked like everyone was waiting for a while. Their house balsamic dressing is fantastic!

I had the Norwegian Benedict, Caesar salad, and mushroom soup. Each of these things was phenomenal and I cannot recommend it enough. The dishes have a homey and perfect taste so it’d be amazing comfort food. There are so many choices on the menu including kids options. I can’t wait to come back and try so many other dishes like the linguini and carbonara. Many of the dressings and sauces are made in house and delicious. The staff and owners are delightful too. This would be the perfect breakfast/brunch staple!

Was pleasantly surprised to find this Kitchener fixture packed by 9am on a Sunday. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff welcoming. We had the Granola Blueberry Pancakes and the Darlise Crepes. Both were delicious!

A friend and I enjoyed the ambience and food at Darlise cafe. Knowing that this place gets busy we went early and were aware that there may be a wait for the food. The service was friendly and attentive. Our orders of blueberry pancakes and the Mexican style bowl were flavourful, fresh, well presented and plenty.

This is one of my favourite local places . I usually come by myself and sit at the window. Their potato pancakes and homemade hot sauce are some things that set them apart from other breakfast places , plus the service is lovely. Lots of yummy options including gluten free. Bacon and coffee is good ! I love darlise :)

Excellent brunch, the eggs Benedict were very tasty and the entire menu was well-priced and affordable. Highly recommend.
Had a great breakfast today with friends and our 2 yr old! Really enjoyed our meals, the special was a pulled pork Benedict on a waffle and it was delicious!! Prices are extremely reasonable.I see many complaining about the long wait times which I don't think is fair. This is a place to enjoy your time (and food) with friends. Darlise does not claim to be fast food nor even an everyday diner (says so on their website!). If a super quick meal is what you are after there are lots of great places around that will meet your needs. That bit of extra time is just the cost of a well constructed meal. I should note that even our 2 year old was quite content to wait and make use of the crayons provided!
Awesome find!!!! Going back.Ours was a 2 hour breakfast. The coffee is good and they don’t charge for refills. Thank goodness because we had to wait a long time for our breakfasts. When they arrived they were good. Eggs cooked to our specifications. Chorizo was tasty. And the potato pancakes also good. Check it out.

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!

We just love this hidden jem. Not your typical rush in and out breakfast joint. Menu is unique, food is fantastic. They can be a little slow when it gets busy, but you also don’t feel rushed. Enjoyable breakfast, friendly staff, great food! One of my favourite breakfast places⭐️

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!
