An absolute local hidden gem. Fundamentally, it's an European market, but it's also got a great deli and bakery. Definitely worth a visit.

They call Elora the most beautiful small town in Canada for a reason. Only a 30-minute short drive away, and you will be greeted with a beautiful little walk-able town that's right by the water, and the Elora Gorge is a must-see if you are into hiking. It's breath-taking and a great and simple choice to get your feet wet.

Bobbas, so many bobba shops
If you've got a sweet tooth and are inclined for some bubble tea, Waterloo has dozens of bobba shops to offer.
Do a quick google search and you shall find them at every street corner near U of Waterloo.
