I’ve been to Williams many times. Didn’t know there was one in downtown Kitchener. Too bad they closed the one on Northfield. That was my favourite, but was replaced by a Burger King that nobody goes to. Thanks for the info on the others. I’m definitely going to try some of them.
I always see people in cafe 22, I’ll have to go check it out.
