Tough to get in with a wheelchair. They always lock the accessible doors

Smile Tiger is right beside the Kitchener rail station. The parking is a tight but you can walk from the train!The building was a banana warehouse previously. It’s old feeling, but comfortable. There’s exposed steel beams and wooden floors that are worn and homey.Mostly, there’s coffee. They roast beans themselves. The ones I have tried are bold , smooth and not overly bitter. They have some baked goods and Texas toast with a layer of ricotta cheese. I don’t go for the baked goods as much as the coffee and atmosphere.

Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters is a hidden gem! The coffee here is simply divine, boasting rich flavors and a perfect roast every time. But that's not all – their sourdough toasts are a delightful accompaniment, offering a crunchy exterior with a soft, tangy interior that pairs flawlessly with their specialty brews. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to start your day or unwind in the afternoon. A must-visit for any coffee enthusiast!"

I've passed by Smile Tigger Coffee Roasters each time I'd visit Kitchener Go but finally went in today. It's beautiful. It has a cozy rustic vibe with lots of seating that would make a great place to study or have a coffee date. I love my self some good matcha, so I came on a weekday, but there was no line, and I received my order quickly. I ordered the iced matcha latte ($6.78), and it was not as strong as I prefer. I believe you have to pay for it to be stronger, which is a first. The oatmilk was a bit watered down as well. Perhaps a richer matcha grade powder and more sweetness would make it better. Regardless, it was super cute, and I look forward to trying the coffee they specialize in and food next time!

Great coffee, nice staff, good food! Make sure that if you want a specific food you get there early since it's by the train station and can get very busy so stuff does run out. Great open space with options for seating, greenery and art.

Everything could be great, but they’ve never cleaned floors. Walking on the chunks of dirt

Anytime I come to Kitchener by train, if I can, I make it a point to come to this cafe first, Great treats and deserts, great coffee and lovely staff!! Next time I'm in Kitchener, Smile Tiger will be the first place, just as I step off the train. For Smile Tiger, she’s an overall winner in my book! You guys are a beaut!i!!!Update, I've been in a few time since I gave the initial review but, still, It's an amazing place and I tell everyone about you guys back in Sarnia.As usual, I've experienced top lever service and amazing friendship. Smile Tiger is a very neat little cafe just across from the train station. I just keeps getting better and better. It's a place I love to go every time I come into Kitchener. Delicious coffee and baked goods. The staff are AWESOME as always!!! Whenever I'm in transit to or from camp. I'll be sure to come in and take in the atmosphere, have a treat and a cup or two of that DELICIOUS COFFEE!!!! A THOUSANT THUMPS WAY WAY UP!!!!!YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!Keep up the awesome work.MUCH LOVEWheelchair accessibility: Perfect for wheelchairs, especially for one of my friends living in Kitchener.

Visited with friends and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere. Although the latte wasn't the best, it's a great spot for relaxation or studying. It's challenging to find free parking on weekdays.

Decent enough and fairly typical. Parking is definitely an issue. Bonus points for having a fridge full of local craft beer!
