13 Best Cafes in Guelph

“Finally tried this spot after multiple friends had recommended it, and I was not disappointed! I had an oatmilk caramel latte and a strawberry cheesecake cookie (fresh out the oven - omg 😚). Both were so yummy!! Good price for artisnal drinks and handmade baked goods! Worth every penny. Oh!! And EXCELLENT service, very warm with a genuine smile! It made my day! Thank you ♥️ 🥰“

“It is the small things that often make a difference in choosing excellent coffee. Having a bag of coffee that I can re-seal and remove the air from via a one way valve is genius and is an extra cost for the manufacturer. It also shows me that they know what they are doing and care about their product. Well done Lost Aviator!“

“We have been having lunch here after our Wednesday volunteer shift at the nearby Guelph Humane Society since 2022. More than great sandwiches, (we have tried many varieties, all so good!), coffees, salads and dessert offerings, customers are greeted by friendly staff that make you feel welcome and at home. 🥰“

“I always order from this store They provide excellent service Flowers fresh and last long time Happy customer every time“

“Been a favourite of mine for years. I love that they have vegan and gluten free options, as it is hard to find both that actually taste good! A nice chill place to get coffee or a drink with a friend, or do do some work! Love that they allow dogs in the summer and they have the handy walk up window!! 10/10 love this place!“

“Balzac’s has the best coffee in Guelph, nice environment and lovely staff. Highly recommended!“

“Staff and the general vibes are always great, most of the food is good, and most prices are reasonable. They are licensed with some good drink options, and always have the best coffee.

I do miss the older version of the chicken tikka masala though. It used to be shredded chicken rather than slices with grill marks (you know the pre-cooked, processed-looking stuff? Not saying it is, but it looks like it), and I don't remember so many chunks of almost raw tomato. It's been awhile, so not sure when this dish changed!

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian and vegan options.“

“This is a cute little shop full of healthy smoothies and smoothie/protein packed bowls. I found it interesting that you can every add little additions like Lions Maine (which is great to reduce brain fog and increase mental clarity). Marine collagen, turmeric, b12, creatine MCT, beef pollen, sea moss, spirulina. So many things to kick your smoothie or bowl up a notch.

I got the Acai Superfood Smoothie (acai, blueberry, strawberry, banana, agave, oatmilk). Hit the spot! I will be most definitely returning again !“

“We had lunch at PJ’s restaurant yesterday. It was an amazing experience as student staff was so attentive and the food was unique, beautiful prepared, perfect flavour. We were surprised it was pretty busy on the rainy day and students don’t accept tips.“
