The Yeti Cafe is a cafe, restaurant, and music venue located in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, at 14 Eby St. N. The cafe is located near the Kitchener Farmer's Market.[1]
History
The Yeti Cafe was opened by Victoria Kent in 2012.[1][2] In 2015, a quarter of the Yeti's revenue came from catering, especially from local startup businesses.[3] The cafe was renovated in 2021, adding more bathrooms and a heated patio.[2]
Description
The Yeti Cafe is located in downtown Kitchener at 14 Eby St. N., which is near the the Kitchener Farmer's Market.[1][4] The cafe, located in a repurposed house, has a patio and indoor tables for seating.[1] The Toronto Star described the Yeti as an "artsy breakfast spot" in 2022.[5] Chef Jonathan Gushue described the Yeti's food as "non-gimmicky comfort food".[4]
The cafe's menu uses "eclectic" names and features omelets, bagel sandwiches and bread sandwiches.[1][5] Most dishes can be given substitutions to be made vegan or vegetarian.[6] Their coffee is supplied by Cultura Café and originates from Nicaragua.[1] Local bakeries Golden Hearth and Grainharvest supply the cafe's breads.[1] Since 2022, the cafe has begun to roast their beans.[7]
Reception
Alex Bielak of The Record reccomended the Yeti in 2020, enjoying its relaxed atmosphere and its integration in the city's urban fabric.[1] Jessica Huras of the Toronto Star recommended the cafe in 2022 in a daytrip guide to Waterloo Region.[5] An illustration of the Yeti was included in the 2023 art book, The Art of Nostalgia by Trevor Clare, which depicts the Region's "landmarks and hidden gems".[8]
