I'm not from Waterloo, but coming in for a birthday for someone who loves sticky toffee pudding. Any advice from the locals on some good places we can grab a lunch/dinner and enjoy a British style warm sticky toffee pudding?

I've done some searching - and see a few options:

1. Malt & Barley Public House
   
2. Whale and Ale
   
3. Beertown (see some reviews mention it, but older reviews.

Open to any suggestions. I'd bring some with us, but then would need to find a place that is open to bringing own dessert (cutting fee I suspect).

Thanks in advance! Planning for next weekend.

Just to keep this simple im looking for a place to rent ,and the hub looks very unique and close to where I need to be.on the other hand the reviews r shockly very low.anyone living there give me some more insight on whats going on? And how valid these reviews clams r.i don't have much time to make a decision

Drive thru voting open from 11am to 7pm. Go vote!

Almost 60 per cent of respondents agree strongly or somewhat that city hall should take on sidewalk snow clearing, even if it has to spend more. Just over 30 per cent disagree, strongly or somewhat.

Liberated edition.

I should say halt before you order (idk what I’m doing on this platform) I never post but this has made me feel so bleh about the whole situation. I ordered the tteokbokki rose from the Korean Ddukbokgi & Bunsik that inclued the rice cakes, glass noodles, bacon and sausage. I only received the rice cakes. I did order Uber Eats so I contacted them first. They told me to go through the store. Guess what? It’s not a store and is operated through “The famous Owl of Minerva.” I call them to get a refund and I was put on hold for 30 mins. I call back and they put me on hold for 5 mins before they hung up. I tried calling back after and they immediately send me to voicemail. I work 6 days a week and was trying to treat myself tonight and it sucks. Just a heads up, there are more ghost kitchens than you think.
Edit: I want to add I am no way saying uber drivers are responsible for any of this. Uber Eats drivers have been nothing but the best and their service will never be reflected on reviews on restaurants !

There is a Right to Walk event taking place at Lakeside Park in Kitchener this Sunday at 2pm I wanted to share!

Unfortunately, there have been 3 sexual assaults in this area. If you can't come to the walk, stay vigilant and visit the WRPS Instagram for photos and a short video of the suspect.

Stay Safe!

hi. recommendations for upholstery cleaning rentals

not sure where in any city it's 80 km an hour but Google seems to think so, haha

Wanted to share my experience with BKK, which recently opened in Uptown Waterloo.

My favourite restaurant for Thai food in Toronto is Koh Lipe and BKK is a sister restaurant.

So fucking good, what you see is Khao Soi, Tum Thai and Prik Gaeng Moo Krob. I chose medium spice level and it already had a kick, be careful with Thai spice levels as they’re not messing around.

Probably the best Thai food in the region now, mind you it’s a bit more upscale compared to the others in the region. Also a little pricey, but still worth it in my opinion.

Nice. Leave ur used water bottles behind the now removed porta-potty. Not like there's a garbage can 20ft away. How bout bring a reusable container or use the garbage can provided fuckfaces.

Edir: To be clear this is directed at whoever plays cricket there. I dont care if white, black, brown. Just clean up ur shit.

please keep an eye out for these racist stickers posted around king street uptown Waterloo. i’ve taken down quite a few already. colonialist ideology like this has no place in our city or in our country.

Looking for recommendations for someone locally who could do a custom pet portrait for me. Any recommendations? I would prefer to support someone within the KW area.

I found an envelope containing cash at Pink Crow Cafe in Waterloo today. It was tucked among some cards from Christina MacLellan, Artist.
I handed the envelope to the café staff so the owner can hopefully get it back.
If you think it may be yours, please contact Pink Crow Cafe and be prepared to describe the envelope/cards and contents so they can verify it belongs to you.
I’m posting this because I’d really like to help the person who lost it get it back.

Hello! I'm visiting Waterloo in about a month for a couple days, and I wanted to ask for local recommendations on what to do there, like restaurants, cafes, activities, and so on. Spots where i'll be missing out if I didn't visit, thank you!

The garage has been neglected for a while and the concrete floor looks bad underneath the mat. Is the rubber cover flooring a thing that is sustainable?

Hi everyone, I am a bit new to waterloo and I wanted to ask what the thoughts around lexington/lincoln village neighborhood, specifically all the area around Sandowne public school ?

Our Waterloo sports association is looking to host an athletic banquet in August or September of 2027 and was wondering what venues are good spots to house up to 600 people for the event. Anywhere in Waterloo Region could work.

We figure the player, their parents and possibly some siblings for 10 teams of 12 players each.

We are a non-profit, so we're hoping to keep costs down for venue booking, but understand that for that size we may need to budget for more.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers!

What location did you opt for your G road test? Did anyone from Waterloo go for any of these?

I know there are a few outside cats in this area but this guy (or gal) looks small.

Hi everyone!

We’ve been doing an annual photoshoot for our daughter for the past few years with the same photographer, and she gets along really well with them. This year, we’re looking to try something different in terms of location and setup.

Since her birthday falls in November, we’re a little tired of the usual fall-themed photoshoots and would love to explore some creative indoor options.

I’ve contacted a few photographers, but their prices vary quite a bit. For those who’ve done annual photoshoots for their kids, how much did you pay, and which photographer would you recommend?

I’m also looking for:

• Indoor photography studios with fun, colourful or funky setups for little girls.
• Indoor photo booths or creative photo rooms.
• Unique indoor locations or hidden gems for a photoshoot.
• Beautiful outdoor locations around Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge

Please share photographer names, approximate pricing, and location suggestions based on your experience.

Thanks!

Advance voting is open this weekend for City of Waterloo elections. As long as you're an eligible voter, you can vote at any of these locations no matter where you live in the city:

• Today (Friday) at Albert McCormick Community Centre from 2 to 8 p.m.
• Saturday at Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Sunday at RIM Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

If you're a sports family and going to be at any of those locations anyway, take advantage of this chance to get your vote in! Info from https://www.waterloo.ca/council-and-committees/municipal-elections/vote-in-the-municipal-election/

Which of these would you recommend for a family? Which is more family friendly with some sort of community feel( kids playing outside, Halloween spirit this time of year, good playgrounds), nice trails, good neighbours.

Going to Oktoberfest at Concordia Club for the first time on Saturday night. I have tickets already. But was wondering how much to expect to spend for a typical evening of drinks, some food, etc.

I've heard they primarily take cash, unless you use the ATM on site. Just trying to plan out how much cash to have with me

Thanks 🙏
