Friendly staff. Nice coffee. Relaxed and unpretentious. And very reasonably priced compared to everywhere else. Never disappointed. My new go to cafe downtown.

I really had a horrible experience at this cafe.Please do visit this place if you like being racially discriminated by the owner and staff / like being treated differently / like being treated rudely / like not being acknowledged at all. They are so good at all of this except making a basic coffee.

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!To hear more about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, & Facebook. ✨??

Today we arrived at 5:55pm for a coffee and the guy (boy) being before 6:00pm, kicked us out in a very rude and unprofessional manner, I would definitely not return to a place where they treat people like that.I understand that they want to leave early but I think that is not the right way to serve customers. It is truly disappointing since I have never had such an unpleasant experience in this Cafe as today, I really have a very bad opinion of this place.

What a quaint little shop. Had a peppermint mocha latte and a tiramisu. Both were excellent. Service was great as well as atmosphere. I was lucky to find parking right across the street.

Great coffee and good people. Though, one of the old owners, Dawn, was a monstrous and abusive employer. I watched her tear apart customers and employees daily.

I have been a frequent visitor of this wonderful coffee shop since it opened years ago. The coffee is amazing, their sweet treats are always fresh and tasty and during the summer months you can get the most decadent Gelato available locally. The service is always top-notch and a special shout out to Lauren who has been a mainstay barista to make this a must visit coffee shop in downtown KW.
