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. Victoria Kent opened the Yeti cafe in 2012, located in a repurposed house. The cafe's menu uses unconventional naming of its dishes and features omelets, bagel sandwiches and bread sandwiches. For drinks, coffee, tea, and espresso are served. The Yeti has received praise from reviewers for its atmosphere, food, and coffee.
The Yeti Cafe was opened by Victoria Kent in 2012.[1][2] The building was previously a Grainharvest Breadhouse location.[3][4] Before moving to Kitchener in 2011, Kent was a librarian.[5] The Yeti was named after one of the cafe's paintings.[5] On July 13, 2012, the cafe had a sidewalk advertisement sign confiscated and disposed of by a city bylaw officer, leading to drops in revenue and local controversy.[6] Kent later received apologies from city officials.[7] In 2015, a quarter of the Yeti's revenue came from catering, especially from local startup businesses.[8] The cafe was renovated in 2021, adding more bathrooms and a heated patio.[2]
