The staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit a pleasure. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes – you won't be disappointed!

Nice and cozy. Try it, won’t regret it. Take your coffee before getting cold, they don’t call you when ready on the server table.

Parking: Free parking lot Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available Wheelchair accessibility: No issues with the wheelchair accessibility.

Oh what a lovely bustling place and it’s always full. Good food and ambience made the place for me to visit often with friends. I really enjoy the bell pepper soup with mocha coffee, yummm. Budget friendly. Very well located in the plaza, lot of parking options. Go for it.

There are not many Cafes like this on the University Avenue. They have a good coffee, lots of breakfast options what you can choose from. Their bagels are awesome.

SYMPOSIUM CAFE RESTAURANT WATERLOO REVIEWS

Lately we’ve been coming back to this location because it’s revamped its offerings and the menu is full of amazing items like the avocado toast with mushrooms and truffle oil which I had for brunch. They have a daily deal every day and basically I want to try everything. The server was lovely and made our time special and hilarious. I will definitely be back to try more dishes.

Great place. I hosted an event here once and it was great. I also ordered the ribs on Saturday and unknowingly they gave me a discount for their special! Thank you.

We had a great experience. Carlton was our server and we was very friendly and personal. He gave us a very nice cake tour. Great service!
