Newton's Paradise Cafe

Went for breakfast with the family, and its as good as its ever been! The chicken fried steak was so big and very delicious! Someone also got an old fashioned and they had a whole wall of liquor for u to choose what brand you want. Will definitely be back!

So good! The staff was so kind and helpful and there were many options available, including gluten free and vegetarian. I hadn't gone since ownership changed, but I'm so glad I did. And parking around dinnertime wasn't an issue at all, even with some construction going on. Can't beat breakfast all day either. My 4 year old got a kids breakfast meal and it was a big portion! Pictured are Parm fries, chicken ceasar wrap (special menu), hot honey chicken (special menu), breakfast burger, and French dip. Not pictured were the crab rangoon nachos that were devoured too.

What a gem! 💎 The food, service, and atmosphere were all superb. They have a limited state fair menu that was absolutely delicious. We had the fruity pebbles Iowa toast and the breakfast tacos which included candied bacon, egg, chipotle aioli and cheese all in a pancake "tortilla". In town from Texas and look forward to coming back when we visit. 😊

Went on a Thursday night and had the patio completely to ourselves on a beautiful evening! Service was quick and attentive. We ordered the make your own mac & cheese, adult grilled cheese and BLT, with parmesan fries. The food was hot, delicious and HUGE portions! Only slight complaint was that the mac & cheese used velveeta (we assume due to taste) and is not our preference. Everything was very good otherwise! Great vibe and decently priced $56 for three of us (with NA drinks) with plenty of leftovers.

Ordered dirty sodas (which were good) but never got our food and just had to walk out! 30 mins +, only excuse we got was all new kitchen staff. We only ordered soup/salad and mac & cheese! C'mon! Manager should contact us based on this review!

newtons is such a cute little cafe to dine at, in downtown waterloo! quick and friendly service, my server Jess never fails to make my visits a wonderful time, will request her every single time! the crab rangoon nachos are my favorite food item here! 🙂

First, my Bloody Mary was the sloppiest drink I’ve ever received. Half of its contents were running down the side of the glass. Our server brushed it off and said "sorry kind of messy". Then we waited for a while before our server finally told us the system restarted and our order never made it to the kitchen and she got rid of our order on her note pad so had to retake our order. After 40 minutes we still did not have our food. The server did mention that we would receive 20% off our bill and offered us a free drink, but by that time we were beyond over our experience and decided to leave.
