    Matter of Taste has the best coffee in KW. Hands down.

    In a sea of Coffee Cultures and Tim's and Starbucks, Matter of Taste stands out for its knowledgable baristas, beautiful lattes, great front window, downtown Kitchener location, and un-annoying clientele.

    Before moving to KW, I lived in a university town that had a great indie coffee shop on every corner. I could coffee-hop from one to another in a single (well-caffeinated) afternoon without a thought for Starbucks overpriced burnt coffee or a barista who had no idea what a latte actually entailed.

    For some reason KW, university town that it is, is woefully lacking in good coffee shops. Matter of Taste is a welcome oasis of excellent coffee in the land of Tim's.

    I completely agree with the other review of this location of Matter of Taste. The atmosphere inside is great, and whenever I have been in they have always had an interesting selection of music playing. It's a great place to enjoy a coffee and get a bit of work done. They have excellent coffee, pleasant servers, and real baristas! I highly recommend the iced cappuccino in the summertime. It is an excellent and refreshing drink for a hot weather day, and unlike some other coffee shops their iced cappuccino is actually what it says it is: espresso and milk shaken over ice (gives it a lighter, foamier texture, much like a hot cappuccino).

    Matter of Taste is my favourite place to get coffee in Kitchener. They are actual baristas pulling real espresso, and they regularly win awards. The prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is very friendly. I definitely recommend this place over any other coffee in the downtown core.
