The Funeatery is widely praised for its cozy and unique atmosphere, making it a favored spot for casual brunches and social gatherings. Customers frequently highlight the fresh, flavorful menu offerings, particularly the bagels, bubble waffles, and specialty drinks like bubble teas and milkshakes. The attentive and friendly service adds to the overall positive experience. However, several reviewers note the limited space, which can feel cramped during busy times, and some express a desire for more traditional waffle options. The venue’s creative interior and additional gift shop elements, such as a pin section, contribute to its charm, reinforcing its appeal as a hidden gem in the area.

The Funeatery is a cute lil cozy spot for a quick brunch or get-together with your friends. The downside for me is that most pictures do not clearly show how small it is. It's quite "tight," and I think if more than 2 or 3 groups are there at a time, it'll be overcrowded. I was also a bit disappointed that the waffles were only bubble waffles and not like regular waffles because i really wanted to try one but wasn't feeling for a waffle in a cup. However, the lattes and hot drinks are amazing. Overall, the aesthetic was cute, and I like that seating arrangements were fun, and I enjoyed climbing up the stairs. The menu was also affordable and it looked like the food would be delicious. Unfortunately, we had just eaten and really were after dessert

The bagels and waffle were ridiculously good, I had a machiatto, madam ordered a peanut butter milkshake , they were both nice. Atmosphere is great, cozy and authentic, definitely coming back with the Mrs for our next meal. Chefs and waitress who served us were nice too. And I am not one who is shy to leave a bad review either , but trust me this place is the perfect spot.

This little restaurant feels like a hidden gem! We truly enjoy the fun vibe of the place with its interestingly stacked tables, and menu. The food is quite delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our waitress who gave us brilliant service. They also have a section for pins which was fun to see.

It caught my eye with its colorful themes. Had the Greek Goddess Poke bowl . The menu is packed with exciting options. I look forward to returning.

A cute little brunch spot to catch up with friends. We booked the booth, where you needed to climb up a few stairs. The breakfast was large and so delicious, unique flavours and combinations. The drinks were also devine. It was very reasonably priced as well. Great experience with attentive waiters.
