The food is good. The staff are friendly. And the atmosphere is nice.
The Benedict was like any other Benedict I've had, nothing special.
Their little patty that came on the side of the omlette was a bit weird though, not really our cup of tea.
I'd eat here again if opportunity arises.

There might be a wait. They will text when ready. The coffee is excellent inside a large mug. I hardly ever order pancakes, the icing suger drizzle with blueberries did not have a chance. Bacon seemed like it was done in the oven. Eggs Benedict was also excellent. The atmosphere is very relaxed.

Darlise Cafe is an easy to miss brunch spot in downtown Kitchener. But don’t let the lack of curb appeal fool you. They make a great brunch for a reasonable price.
The host, server and kitchen staff were all super kind and accommodating. I ordered Eggs Benedict from the special Oktoberfest menu. The egg was cooked perfectly. The hollandaise sauce could have used a little salt, but otherwise great. The potato pancake was also pretty good, and a welcome alternative to the typical home style potatoes you’d expect for brunch. We also tried the French Toast which was also pretty decent.
What I appreciated most about Darlise Cafe was the lack of gimmicks and pretension you typically get at brunch places these days. It was just simple, straightforward, well done brunch.

I absolutely love this place for breakfast. Extremely friendly staff, fantastic home made food, and good prices. When we travel to K-W, breakfast here is the highlight!

Amazing breakfast spot in DT Kitchener! We had the French toast bites, which were delicious in the caramel sauce. The meals (chicken waffle and eggs Benedict) came with potato pancakes - full of flavour. The fruit cup was a generous size. Thanks!

Excellent brunch - I highly recommend the chicken and waffles Benedict. Not too crowded, but a lot of space. I'll definitely be back and recommend this place to others. I have to reserve one star because the payment machine prompted for a tip and made it awkward - without this, it's a five star place for sure.

Food is so delicious here and the chefs here really care about the food they serve. Service is also great here. They have gluten free options here which make me so happy. Best spot for breakfast and lunch in kw.

Cozy and friendly atmosphere - orders are prepared with attention to detail, and the quality is above average for a very fair price. It's perhaps not the quickest spot to brunch but it's worth the wait.
Definitely recommend the French toast sticks and the Norwegian Eggs Benedict. Did not prefer the potato pancake side as it was dry for my taste.

Always heard great things and the experience did not disappoint. Service is great, but the food does take a little bit to come out so it's highly recommended to get the French Toast sticks to tide you over.
The Norwegian Benedict was amazing and the Boca Benedict was really good too. Definitely can't go wrong with their hollandaise sauce so just choose the toppings that speak to you.
Will definitely come back again.

Stumbled on to this place. Our server was delightful. Homemade jam and hot sauce (very hot). Mushrooms in omelette were very flavourful. Good value $13 for three egg omelette, sides and coffee. Lots of regulars there - a good sign.

Cute brunch spot with amazing vibe.
Ordered Some like it hot Omlet with rey bread and vanilla yogurt, Banana foster french toast and heavenly crepe with salad.
Everything made taste buds flutter. They have specials on the chalkboard. Smoothie tasted well.
Hot sauce was a HIT ..if some one likes hot sauce its a must try, ask for chef special hot sauce.
Few parking spots are available over weekend right beside cafe if not you can park a block away and walk to cafe.

The food here is always delicious. we had Blackstone & Traditional Benedicts and we both enjoyed every single bite. Don’t forget to try the fruit bowl as well, it was fresh and tasty.
Usually they take perfect care of their costumers but not sure why this time (Saturday) everything went slow, probably because they were too busy.

Delicious food and great vibes; a perfect leisurely catch up with friends.
Came here with a group of folks for brunch. I ordered the jimbo eggs benedict (poached eggs, hollandaise, fried chicken, on a belgium waffle) with a potato patty on the side. It was delicious!
Most everything here is made in-house, so we did wait a while for food, but it was worth it.
Service was good for the most part; the staff were incredibly kind and friendly, but we did have to ask a few times for drinks and sauces (totally understandable, it was a bit busy).
Anyways- I totally recommend it for a cheap and delicious meal.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and I LOVED the potato and onion pancake, and my vegetarian Darlise Crepe was great!

Had a wonderful breakfast (California Bowl, Eggs Benedict) with very hot hot sauce! Love that the jam and hot sauce did not come in single use disposable plastic but reusable bowls! Reasonable priced and great service for four of us!

Some of the best brunch food I’ve had - and I’ve had many. The Eggs Benny I got were incredible, crispy English Muffin and perfectly poached egg on top of avocado, tomato and spinach. The addition of the avocado and tomato was tasty touch, in a usual Florentine benny elsewhere you typically only get spinach. If you like hot sauce they make their own in house, it’s actually got kick to it and the taste profile is wonderful, especially paired with the food. Service was friendly and welcoming.

This place quickly became a new favourite breakfast spot. Absolutely love the various Eggs Benedict’s - hands-down the best in KW. Always a busy place so there’s a bit of a wait for food but it’s definitely worth it!

I read previous comments of how slow service was and was expecting so. Service was really fast, server was friendly and attentive and kept refilling our coffees. We ordered the Liz and the Darlise crepes and they were really good. We were not a fan of the hollandaise sauce but the sweet potato pancakes were delicious!
The french toast sticks were so good but the 5 point reward goes to the sauce! It had a citrus flavour and was thick and just the right amount.
Coffee was also good.
Strongly recommend and looking forward to trying their lunch menu next time.

We found this hidden gem almost be accident. I got the 2 eggs basic breakfast $9.99. Delicious. My sister had the blueberry crumble pancakes $10.29 completely filling, and my daughter got the deconstruct crepes $10.99 huge portions. The staff were warming and welcoming. They made us complete strangers feel like we belonged and had been coming here for years.
