The pancakes were fluffy and the omelette was fantastic. The bacon was crispy, just the way I like it. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was cozy. A great spot for a morning meal
WOW! I had such and amazing time at this wonderful restaurant. The atmosphere is so bright and so welcoming. The menu looks like it has something for everyone, and everything I ordered was so incredibly delicious and tasted so fresh! I tried the French toast and some of my friends chicken and waffles and it was beautifully presented and full of flavour. The staff were so patient and friendly, and made the experience even better. Please please please come here!! You definitely won’t regret it :)!
This establishment caters very well to large groups. We brought a group of 48 students and everything came out smoothly, fresh, and warm. The servers were absolutely lovely, Hannah and Caprice were amazing!! Caprice took care of us and she was so lovely and positive. Thank you!
Of course! Here’s a thoughtful Google review for the restaurant: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The service at this restaurant was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about our dining experience. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and were always there with a smile. Highly recommend!
Had an amazing time at brunch! Jewel did an amazing job at taking care of our group of 10. The wait time for weekend brunch was great - waited about 10 minutes which is shorter than a lot of other brunch place for such a big group too. The food was delicious! Lots of options for any cravings!
Was greeted with a sample of a smoothie that was delicious. Tried the chicken Benedict this time and liked it even more than the previous meals I’ve had! A fantastic place for an upscale feeling breakfast, and our waitress Hannah was incredible. The hot chocolate could have had more chocolate flavour however. Will be returning!
Jewel was an amazing server and I would go back for just her! The food is delicious, and there is a ton of variety which is great. The menu seems to be able to accommodate anyone taste and sensitivity wise. It’s a little loud when busy but nothing too crazy. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you Jewel :)
A Must-Visit Breakfast Spot in Waterloo Region If you’re in the Waterloo region, this is the place for breakfast! The coffee is always fresh, and I highly recommend the oat milk coconut latte. You can ask for less syrup if you prefer it less sweet. Just a tip: remind them if you like your bacon not crispy. It’s very busy on Sunday mornings, so arriving around 10:30 AM is a good idea as it fills up fast after that. The egg serving with the Canadian breakfast was a bit small, so don’t expect two large eggs. The crepe was just okay, but the pancakes and potatoes were very good. Fresh orange juice is also available. Service can be hit or miss due to the busyness, so you might not get the same attention as in a smaller place. We noticed others being served before us, and my gluten-free toast came mixed with regular toast, which was confusing. I also had to send back my bacon to get it not crispy. A word of caution: if you order real maple syrup, it costs $10.50 for three servings. We weren’t informed that it was extra and that much extra, so just get one or stick with what comes with the meal to avoid the extra charge. Also, be aware that it can get a bit pricey, with meals ending up around $40 per plate if you add options not included with the meal. Just a tip! Happy eating trails 👣 😋
Super fast service, food was great! Anik was a great server and super friendly!
Fantastic choice, will b back
Harita was really good.
Anik was amazing!
Anik was great!
Great service and fast
Great brunch location. A repeat customer.
Really enjoyed our breakfast at pur and simple. Excellent food and great service. Lots of interesting menu options like the Gourmet, which I had. My wife had Avocado Lox
Right ias me and my friends walked into pur and simple, we immediately felt welcome and comfortable. We ordered shortly after we came in, but before that our waiter Haritha immediately greeted us and brought us water. Ps: the water was delicious. After we ordered our food and drinks came very quickly. It was delicious. We especially loved the triple berry pancakes and the rays extravaganza. They were so good.
It was a fantastic breakfast birthday experience! Albert is so happy--its the best birthday he ever had!! Thank you Anik for bringing the sparkler and making the birthday waffle. Parking available in the back and also in the Independent Grocer mall Parking lot. Not easily wheelchair accessible due to a set of 6 stairs just inside the entrance to the restaurant. We love the lights, bright, beautifully decorated, wonderful atmosphere and fresh delicious food! I personally loved the match iced latte. Dont forget to ask for little to no ice because then you get more of the latte. I like to ask for it extra frothy!!! So yummy. We ordered: - the classic 2 egg breakfast (you get a choice of 4 strips of bacon, sausage, turkey bacon or ham) and for toast you get a choice of (rye, whole grain, brown or white) it comes with FANTASTIC homefries; - the black and blue breakfast (comes with 2 eggs, 1 blueberry pancake and 1 chocolate pancake. 1 sausage and 2 strips of bacon, NO HOMEFRIES*** so I had to borrow some from my friends, heheheheheh); - veggie omlette (spicey avocado, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, goat cheese, lots of other amazing veggies, and we asked for added bacon ) which comes with their famous homefries and toast. Everyones meal came with a cute assortment of fresh fruit! A slice each of pineapple, strawberry, and orange. For Alberts birthday Anik brought out a wonderful nuttella-drizzled waffle and sparkler, and sang the Happy Birthday Song!!!! with us. So special!!! We arrived at 9am on a Thursday. DECEMBER 19th 2024. Really quiet and fast service! What we couldnt finish, we packed up to-go. Too tasty to waste! Vegetarian options: Veggie Omlette and many others Parking: Local Independent grocery store has most Parking spots, located on the opposite corner. Wheelchair accessibility: Set of short stairs
This used to be my favorite place but they served my friend cold food and then the manager tried to make us feel bad when it was sent back and they ruined our breakfast together not doing it right the first time. I dont understand why so many businesses just think its okay to guilt customers because they dont want their food cold. I am sad because I spoke really highly of this location before. The manager was totally disrespectful and I feel bad for our waitress.
Hannah was great
I had the Philly Steak skillet. Highly recommend. Great service from Deanne. Thank you.
Our ladies pickleball group went out for lunch to celebrate our last day playing together. Our server, Hannah, was terrific. Remembering everyone s order and super friendly and polite. Food

Great service from Anika

Anik was very good at his job The food was great Thank you for the bday treat Food : 5/5
Best customer service,thanks Anik for being so pleseant and for excellent service.
Went out with 2 of my friends looking for a nice and tasty breakfast. My one friend recommended since her previous experiences were great. For some reason this experience was anything but. From waiting 25 for two coffees, to our waitress being inattentive, and messing up our orders, I was shocked. My one friend has a serious nut allergy and her food was brought out with mine which had hazelnuts. As servers ourselves, we know these things should be taken more seriously. Then a hair was found in her food and the wrong side was brought out. My substitution was wrong, eggs were cold and our other friend didn t even receive the second meal completely. When we asked for condiments, our server thought cleaning other tables was more important (mind you, it wasn t like people were waiting for these tables). She told us she d send the manager over, of who never came until I requested them myself. Other than profusely apologizing which made no difference, offered us 20% off our bills. He noticed our dissatisfaction and said he couldn t do much more. He then offered 50% and another apology to which once he found out where we served told us we just had high expectations. I was completely shocked and taken back. We don t argue and we usually let things slide but from beginning to end, this whole experience was quite a waste. He then said he d like to see us again and make things better then, but we would have just liked him to make it better in the moment which was like pulling teeth.
The food was tasty and quick. Everyone was friendly and attentive, especially our server Sean.
Anik. The best.
The server asked us to choose what kind of sauces (for fries/potatoes) and syrups (for pancake) we want on every dishes. We assumed the sauces came with the dishes but we got charged for $2.5 to $3.5 per each sauce on the bill.
Had amazing food and service thanks too the lovely Stephanie :) would definitely recommend and be back there for round 2!!! Kid-friendliness: Cozy for all ages
I tried Pur & Simple months later and editing my review to a 5-star review! The portion sizes were huge, fruit waffles were delicious, and the iced latte was good. Nice atmosphere and friendly service! Food : 5/5
Hannah was so great with our brunch this morning! Lovely food! they really like kimchi..
Hannah provided excellent service!
Hannah was a great server, excellent service!
Food: asked for over-easy eggs & received medium-hard. Bacon was hard as a rock, & fruit was bad - grey-brown. My girlfriend asked for non-spicy hollandaise & received spicy. Basic quality control here is awful. Service: Good enough. Service standards are low post pandemic in restaurants. Atmosphere: very loud, bright & all the tables are crammed together giving you zero privacy. This feels like a place you go to be seen rather than somewhere for an intimate meal with friends or your partner. This one comes down to personal taste though, so to each their own. Overall Id say its overrated & the Google review score is shocking to me. I think people see expensive prices and it impacts their judgement.
Hannah made our breakfast experience at this cozy spot truly memorable. Her friendly and attentive service set the tone for a wonderful meal. The menu offers classic, delicious options like fluffy pancakes and perfectly cooked eggs, all served with a smile. A great place for a satisfying and stress-free breakfast, thanks in part to Hannah s warm hospitality. Parking: There s spots behind the building
Great service from Haritha this visit and we ve had amazing food every time
Great food and service! Haritha was an excellent waitress and very attentive to our table, and the breakfast poutine was delicious! Pür & Simples house potatoes make for a great poutine base, or as a side to pancakes, waffles, crepes, or French toast with fresh fruit if youre looking for more of a balance between sweet and salty. Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible to wheelchair users, the entryway is very narrow and has a few steps to lead up into the reception & seating areas
We had the best service and food was really good given we ve only been 2 times . We had Haritha as our server who was amazing and very fast at getting what ever we needed. Would recommend this place 100%
Hannah helped us a lot and was very enthusiastic
Amazing place! Great food and love the atmosphere. Hannah is an amazing waitress and gave us great recommendations.
Anik was a delight! Food is excellent.
Anik is a fantastic server!!
hannah was great! good food
Loved the staff, environment,food and the speed of which the food came highly recommend DONT BE CHEAP
Thank you to our waitress Hannah. She was great with recommendations. Absolutely the sweetest.
Hannah was a great server. The food is great!
food is great but it was not very warm. they are also not very quick with coffee/water refills.
Anik was a great server! Great food. Was a lovely way to celebrate our grandmas 85th birthday. Vegetarian options: Great options for vegetarians and vegans!
The food portions can be a bit overwhelming for The Big 3. But saying that too much is served for this menue item is not necessarily a bad thing. Plenty of other menu options exist. Staff are very helpful for specials, customized options available, continuous efforts towards a great experience. The place tends to get very busy and loud so this can cause delays. The place has a few TVs that tend to be bland in content. It is best not to notice the TVs and enjoy the rest of the experience.
Had the Angus Benny, little salty, but really flavourful. Bellini was nice and Haritha our server did an awesome job and upsold us on espressos martinis!
Nice food and amazing service.
Haritha was amazing!! A great experience as always.
Dietary restrictions: Where able to accomodate gluten free restriction. They took the extra time to ensure steps where taken to prevent cross contamination. Food
Hannah was very friendly and knew all about the menu. Never had to wait on her and she made the experience very positive
Shout out to tyler. Brilliant service and super friendly and welcoming. Thank you Vegetarian options: Good variety. Suitable for all vegetarians
Glory to Pur & Simple. Great food but the home fries in particular are GOATED. Hannah was also a great server.
Tyler was super friendly. My fist time visiting and loved the place
Love it here! Servers are kind and food arrives quickly. Hannah rocks!
Hannah was awesome! Parking: Uptown parking lot across the road Food : 4/5 |
Demolished Parking: Tiny walk from park Food : 5/5 |
hannah was my server and it was great!
The food is good overall, but they scam you with hidden charges. I got an omelette for $17, asked to add bacon and cheese and was charged $6 for bacon and $3.50 for the cheese. Meanwhile, they had an omelette on the menu for $19 which included both bacon and cheese and other toppings. Absolutely wild. My boyfriend also got French toast with his breakfast, the server asked if he wanted table syrup or maple syrup , he got the maple syrup, and was changed an extra $3.50 for that. The server we had didn t mention any of these extra charges and we ended up paying $70 for a 2 person breakfast. Won t be going back.
Hannah provided great service and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back. Vegetarian options: There are a wide variety of options available.
We were served by Anik. He was very friendly and the food was great! Parking: Accessible public parking near the place, free on weekends. Food : 5/5 |
I got the Canadian with an espresso pancake and it was delish!
I visited for a friend s birthday and we had a great experience! Hannah was our server and she was fantastic! Vegetarian options: N/A Dietary restrictions: N/A
Definitely don t go here if you want quiet but other then that it s amazing!
Had a really lovely birthday brunch at Pür&Simple with my gf. Hannah was so attentive, friendly and most importantly a fellow Sagittarian She really went above and beyond to make my day extra special. Definitely will be back again!! P.S., Happy 5 Years of P&S!!!
Tyler is a fantastic and attentive server. The food was delicious and arrived so quickly. We could not have been happier with our experience. Kid-friendliness: Our little guys loved his egg breakfast and was waving to the other kids in the restaurant.
Come to this location most Sundays and Caprice has served me twice. She is so lovely and fun to talk to. Always attentive and just all around a great server.
Lovely breakfast, everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned, Caprice was excellent & attentive - great service! We will definitely be coming back.
Great experience! Service was fast and food was great! Hannah took great care of us. Great staff!

The service was wonderful. Hannah was absolutely amazing she was funny, kind, energetic and just a ray of sunshine
Great place for brunch and socializing
Atmosphere is bright and clean. A little crowded and service was slow during peak times. Food was tasty with adventurous twists on some classic dishes.
Good spot for a quick breakfast. Located in a renovated old building with great atmosphere. Parking: Depending on the time of day, difficult to find parking
We had a great experience with Hannah at Pur and Simple
Food was great and our waitress Hannah was so nice! Love pure and simple!
Hannah was awesome! I just love the vibe at pur and simple the food is great and filling and the servers are so attentive to your needs! Over all 5 starr!!!!!
Food was great and our server Hannah was awesome!
Ordered from here on Ubereats and discovered a sausage in a non meat dish (we cannot eat it as it is pork). They shouldnt be cooking meat and non meat on the same surface. Doesnt look like they care about basic food hygiene.
Seated quickly even while busy, food was delicious and Hannah our server was attentive and polite. Would definitely return.
Hannah was a fantastic host. Our brunch was delicious and to the order and customizations we requested. We ordered Waffle, garden fresh, rainbow and each order was delicious. Kudos to the chef, waiting staff and servers. Food : 5/5 |
Food and service was amazing. Hannah made sure our food was according to our dietary restrictions. The price is affordable.
Great place for great food Dietary restrictions: keto options Food : 5/5 |
Sadly my eggs benedict arrived cold. When I told the server; she offered to replate it on a warm plate. I declined her offer as I felt it would not provide a solution to cold poached eggs with hollandaise sauce on an English muffin. The restaurant was not busy at the time (only 2 other tables in use), so I do not know why that happened. I was very disappointed.
Thanks Jewel!!!!!!!
Jewel was nice, and food was good however overpriced. General service mid
Had such a nice brunch. Thanks Jewel for taking care of our big group!
Super slow service and took forever for the food to come out. Order then take a nap to wait for your food to come type of service. We were 4 people and the server didn t even realize there was a chair missing from the table. Waiter forgot milk for the coffee. Not very attentive.
Our Server Anik was incredibly friendly, kind, and attentive first thing in the morning. Even on a Sunday morning, it was quiet, service was quick, everyone was friendly, and the food was amazing. Such a good experience! Will go back again and would recommend!
Our server Anik was awesome! Super friendly and patient.
Ann was great
Great place, great food, service is always good. It can be a little loud but overall really good place. Anik was my server and he did a wonderful job :) Food
I really enjoy with my visit today. Hannah served us and she was amazing. She did always make sure we were happy and eating well! Thanks to her! And place is just amazing I love their menu and their very delicious dishes!
I visited this place for the first time for the breakfast and was really impressed by the friendly staff. Hannah was especially nice and helped me choose my order. I ended up with a delicious meal and a pumpkin latte. I will definitely be back again. Food
The portions are really big, especially for the kids menu
It was good. Expensive.
Got food out quick and very nice service. Kids menu was very affordable for a great amount of food.
Server was ok, a little rude
Kid-friendliness: Really good Food
The atmosphere is great, our server Hannah was excellent and we had a nice lunch at this must-try spot in Uptown Waterloo.
Hannah was amazing!!! Very good conversations and delicious fooddddd!!!!!
Great food
My mom and I ordered avocado toasts, and the bread wasn t toasted. The rest of the meal was ok, but we couldn t get over the soggy bread on which it was served
Great breakfast every time we come here. Anik is a great server. Vegetarian options: Avocado toast is a go to Food : 5/5 |
Our Server was Anik. Amazing service and very nice to talk to.
Good and generous portions. Great service (Anik). Easy parking clean washrooms, nice atmosphere Food : 5/5
Very disappointed by the service today, specifically by the servers. My friends and I went here for a birthday celebration. The reservation was at 11:15am November 1st under Jasmin. Everything was fine until a rowdy group of 8 individuals behind us was mocking us, coming up to our table and taking photos, and basically harassing us. They airdropped us 117 photos, we did not open them but can just assume they were mocking us. We addressed this issue to our server who did not take action, instead said the table was his regulars and are very kind. When another server approached him to ask what happened, he deflected the issue instead of helping us. We were not loud, we were not being rude, we were just trying to celebrate our friends birthday. The fact that we were being harassed and had nothing done about it makes me frustrated and hesitant to come back knowing the same incident can happen if these regulars can continue doing this to others.
Excellent breakfast. It was busy but still seated very quickly and food was fast. Jewel was great!
Racially charged? Terrible service from a male server. My friends and I made a reservation at 11:15 on November 1st for a birthday. We were not disruptive but the table behind us of 8 Caucasian people were mocking us and at one point came to our picture to take pictures of our food and things. I believe it was racially charged as we were the few Asians in the room. We didn t say anything in fear it would escalate however when they tried to airdrop 117 photos of us as we were leaving, we asked for our manager but apparently they don t have one? we told our server and he implied it was our fault that we didn t speak up sooner and that they were their regulars and nice to him. I do not care how nice they are to you, they made me and my friends uncomfortable by mocking us and taking photos of us. We suggested he talked to them and get their names so it doesn t happen to future guests but as I lingered back, it was clear he was not going to. We felt very dismissed by the server and the way he handled it was done extremely poor. This isn t my first time coming to this restaurant but it certainly will be my last.
Honestly, sometimes when you see a place like this you think probably overpriced and bougie . While it was a very nice place to eat, considering the proportions, compared to most places the price was totally reasonable! Especially when you get the Big 3. Every aspect of it was fantastic, the bacon was perfect, the eggs were golden, the home fries were awesome (make sure to add cheese). I was surprised when I saw 3 pancakes as well but they were reasonably sized and well made. Along with their maple syrup they might be the best pancakes I ve had at a breakfast spot! Our server Hannah (hopefully that s how you spell it) was very prompt and even accommodated the fact that I was short on time. Another Waterloo Gem and in such a great place. Will definitely come back for more great food and the unreal Mango Tango smoothie!
anik was a very good server!! the food was very good, I recommend
We had a very good lunch Hearty and very good dish A little noisy Thank you Anik for the welcome, the smile and the kindness
The food and service were good, particularly considering how crazily busy they were. Got in pretty quickly (<10m) considering I had to line up outside the door initially. With their name I was worried I wouldnt get a properly fat breakfast, but their big 3 was 3 each of breakfast sausage, ham, bacon, eggs plus home fries, toast, and pancakes. The home fries are quite good, being crispy and decently seasoned, whereas too often these days I get limp, soggy home fries. My wife got their power bowl which was actually quite tasty as well, so I guess whether youre looking for a fat meal or a fit meal, the food is good. I knocked a couple points off on atmosphere just because its very crowded and loud, and thats not my favorite, but considering how busy they are I cant suggest any way around this. COFFEE DISCUSSION I had 3 cups of coffee here because I need coffee to function properly, but their coffee is really quite bad. Even with 5 creams I couldnt kill the bad flavor, so I ended up making sure I had a bite of pancake with syrup after each drink. The flavor tells me they leave the pots on a burner for too long, although the manager told me their coffee moves too quickly for that to be the case. She actually gave me a pouch of their coffee to brew at home for comparison, which I appreciate. Im going to update this text after brewing at home. Certainly nobody expects high end coffee at a breakfast joint, but I really think its a bit worse than your average bad coffee from a diner.
Food taste good. Hannah provides good service. Very good place to come.
Hannah gives good service, food is very delicious.
Hannah is the great. The food is perfect.
The food was perfect! And Hannah provides very good service.

GREAT food! Deanne was an exceptional server! We will be back!
I wanted to share feedback from our recent visit this morning. My partner and I went in for breakfast, and our server, Daisy, took our order. My partner ordered the avocado toast, while I was considering the Canadian option on the menu. I was torn between the pancakes, waffles, and crepes. During this process, Daisy seemed a bit impatient, even though there were no other customers at the time, and she appeared uninterested in explaining the menu in detail. We ultimately chose the Ooh La La crepe, thinking it was one of the options with the Canadian dish. After 20 minutes of waiting, Daisy brought the Ooh La La crepe, and I was shocked by the portion size it was huge! I double-checked with Daisy to confirm that this was indeed the Canadian order. She responded rudely, seeming shocked, and said, You did not get the Canadian; you wanted Ooh La La. At this point, she appeared annoyed and frustrated, asking us three times if we were sure we didn t want the Ooh La La. We were certain, so she took it back to the kitchen. When taking my initial order, Daisy asked how I would like my eggs and bread, but I wasnt sure, so I looked to my partner for guidance. During this time, Daisy seemed very frustrated, sighing in front of us, shaking her head, putting her hands on her hips, and rolling her eyes to hurry us along. I understand that this can be frustrating for both parties, but it was definitely not a pleasant experience for us as customers. At this point, we no longer wanted the order and let her know, which shocked her. I then watched my partner eat her meal, which she didn t even want anymore, and we ultimately decided to leave. This was a terrible way to start our day. This experience highlights the importance of hiring servers with good customer service skills, patience, and menu knowledge. Unfortunately, we will not be returning, as we both left feeling quite disappointed.
If you re vegetarian or you don t eat pork, I wouldn t recommend this place as their vegetarian options are limited. Most plates come with the meet included instead of being an option. I ordered the breakfast poutine plate. While you can remove the meat that it comes with, you will still pay for it. I asked for the meat to be removed. At first when I got the order, the plate had meat but they then changed it but without even apologizing for the mistake. I also asked for the omelette on top of the poutine to have cheese inside. I got charged an extra $3.5 for cheese that you can barely taste as it was a very small amount. Like come on I removed all the meat which includes bacon and ham and sausage mix which costs a lot more than the additional cheese but yet I got charged for the meat and for the cheese. The place is not welcoming if you re vegetarian.
Hannah was unreal
Great service from Hannah
Hannah was very accommodating, altering the menu to fit my needs perfectly.
Great service. Quick, clear, with some humour
It was a great breakfast! Hannah was our waitress. Dietary restrictions: They have lots of options for dietary restrictions. Food : 5/5 |
Hannah was amazing and super sweet!
My girlfriend and I come here regularly for brunch. It s always a great experience and the service is always excellent. Hannah took great care of us and I d be happy to come back and have her as our server again!
The most disappointing service from a male server, tall, facial hair, glasses. I came for a celebration with my asian three friends and we were very respectful and reserved with only a few pictures taken here and there of ourselves. We were rudely harassed by a group of 8 caucasian males and females. They came to our table uninvited to take pictures, mock us, and disturb our celebration. They then tried to airdrop 117 photos of us that they took which felt extremely violating. How could one take 117 photos of strangers? We asked our server to handle this for us only to be brushed off because those are his regulars. We would assume a POC would want to support another group of POCs but that was not the case. He did not care, he blamed us for not stopping it earlier, which we hesitated to because we did not want to further ruin our brunch since we cant predict others actions. Our server was also inattentive and impatient. He did not understand our orders and we would have to repeat ourselves numerous times. He did not fill our waters or bring our foods, his coworker had to because she could see we were being neglected and had to tell him to pay attention to us. I wish I didnt tip him because he didnt even provide much of a service to tip. Also I ordered the Rays extravaganza with a poached egg that came back boiled so either the server wrote my order wrong or the kitchen messed up. Either way, how could this be? Extremely disappointed.
Thank you Hannah! Great pancakes!
Had the kimchi eggs bene and it was really yummy! Also the ambience is great in there - so bright and clean! Our server Hannah was super friendly and the food was quick
Food was excellent, shoutout to Hannah - the service was top notch!

It was absolutely wonderful!! The server we had (Anik) was amazing, when there was a slight mishap with the food he told the cooks and they whipped up some free pancakes, always love coming here!! Thank you Anik and pure and simple for another great experience.
Anik was great! Looking forward to coming back soon
Our server Jewel was lovely as always! Great food and service
Skip the place on weekends, overcrowded. Four waitresses couldnt seat us, we were waiting 10 minutes. Then, waiting another 45 minutes for a plain breakfast and it came cold without trying to please angry customers somehow . The manager called but tried to fix the issue only after being pushed to do it. Not good customer service in general, looks like the place crushes when a lot of people are coming. Management needs to be improving.
Anik was very good at singing Happy Birthday to my friend
Had a pleasant experience having breakfast today. Hannah was very friendly and helpful. The service was great and the food was also delicious.
Parking: Behind on peppler Food

Hannah was great! Great food and service!
Was great atmosphere, service, and food. However the restaurant is very over priced. You can get the same food from any other breakfast place at half the cost.
Good stuff. Had Hannah Vegetarian options: Good Food : 5/5 |

Hannah was super kind and made sure we had everything we needed. It was super busy but we got seated very quickly and our food came fairly quickly as well. This is definitely my go to breakfast spot in Waterloo.

Awesome service from Deanne, super friendly and super accomodating
We came here for the first time for brunch and it was very good experience with food services and everything. Deanne was an excellent server..she specially took care of our food preferences.
Excellent food and dining experience! Hannah was fast and friendly as usual! The cookie butter waffle was a 10/10!!!
One of the best places to eat breakfast in the downtown waterloo area
Nice bright space. Delicious food, and a wide variety of menu options including keto! The fried chicken benny with spicy hollandaise is delicious too! I usually come on Monday mornings, and Tyler and Deanne always give great service!
Haritha was our server and she was very attentive and nice. We enjoy coming to this location every time we are craving breakfast/brunch. The food is great and the service is efficient. Thank you Haritha for making our dining experience great!

Friendly people with Halal turkey bacon.
Took my daughter the day before her 11th birthday, they denied her the birthday surprise waffles I think its was. because it wasnt her actual birthday, how sad is that to do that to an 11 year old girl. We couldnt go out on her actual birthday because she had school. We were still celebrating her birthday breakfast. Not the servers fault she asked the boss and the boss said no. Loved the food but ill never be back you broke my daughters heart. This was back in June. I have been meaning to post but been busy. I mean shes just a kid we didnt even ask for the suprise initially. It was offered to us as we were celebrating her birthday a day early, but the boss said no. Terrible establishment.
Great breakfast spot with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. Henna s friendly and attentive service made our visit even better. Thank you, Henna, for taking such great care of us!
I had the Garden Fresh at Pür & Simple in Waterloo, and it was excellent! Packed with fresh vegetables and served with their signature potatoes, it was both light and satisfying. Renna s attentive and friendly service made the meal even more enjoyable, ensuring everything was perfect. A great choice for a wholesome breakfast!
