26 Best Coffee Shops in Guelph

“Double Rainbow Café is a warm, welcoming space. The drinks and food are delicious—with great options for plant-based and allergen-aware diets—and the atmosphere is affirming for all, especially 2SLGBTQIA+ folks and allies. A cozy, kind-hearted gem that radiates joy and belonging. Highly recommend! 🌈“

“Absolutely amazing coffee and now they have a Biscoff cookie and I’m telling you it’s delicious! The only reason I’m not gate keeping this one is I would literally buy all they have and eat them myself. Which would equal 20lbs 😬. Run to get one and a coffee!“

“Kanoo is the most beautiful coffee shop in Guelph. It’s the perfect place to sit and enjoy a calm, beautiful, wi-fi free space. The drinks and food and spot on. The porchetta sandwich is superb. And, the staff is totally lovely.

Highly recommend.“

“Delightful space, delicious coffee!“

“Great cappuccino, great selection, and one of the owners Rahil is very nice!“

“Recently came home to Guelph after a year and wanted to make an effort to support local independent businesses instead of the chain brands.

Decided to try this place out at lunch and it was great. Had the fish burger and fries. Burger was simple but good and the fries were the best fries I’ve had in ages. Hadn’t had anything close since that one place near Sauble Beach shut down.

Prices were aight, roughly par with McDonalds or A&W,

I stopped back in for dinner before heading home, and enjoyed the Chicken Burger this time with more of those fries, also pretty good.

The woman who served me was extremely nice and helpful in answering questions about the menu items, and enjoyed a friendly conversation about common experiences.

Will be visiting in the future“

“beet place to go spend some time there“

“So glad Planet Bean is open again! But when I walked in the vibe is a little stark? Grey and white walls? No plants? Hoping to see some life injected into this local institution. The addition of a breakfast and lunch side kitchen is smart with the train station and City Hall nearby. I had the ciabatta breakfast bun - good! Could use tomato and lettuce though. Hoping for good things from Planet Bean!“

“This is a nice place for an after-dinner meal, or perhaps a date. I ordered the Hit D Spot, which is a plate of Belgian waffles topped with ice cream and brownies. It was very good, but pretty filling so I had to share it with my brother. It took some time to make, though that was understandable given the size of the order, which was pretty big. I would suggest bringing someone to share your food with if you want to order one of the bigger desserts.“

“Amazing coffees at this great location! Love the "Old School" feel and look of this place, the spacious seating and the overall friendly atmosphere. The staff is great and welcoming. Simply a great place to sit, sip a latte and have a visit or get some work done.“

“Been ordering “Red Eye to Rome” for almost 2 years now for my espresso machine! Excellent customer service & product! Thank you!!“

“The fantastic atmosphere, very welcoming.“

“amazing service and great coffee. was there this morning and big thank you to the person behind the counter for being amazing!“

“With the Grain is my Saturday morning ritual. The coffee and baked goods are amazing. I stock up for the week with an oatmeal sandwich loaf (awesome for our Saturday lunch grilled cheese sandwiches), baguettes (they make for fantastic French toasts), croissant bread (which my daughter devours in her school lunches) and often something sweet as a treat - the brownies, bee sting squares and cinnamon rolls are always a hit! The staff is super friendly and I appreciate the loyalty cards for coffee and bread. The bakery itself is small but so quaint being in an old historical house. If you haven’t tried With the Grain, you’re missing out on a Guelph experience.“

“I have had a lot of coffee from all over, the Guildsmen Cafe is one of the best. Very few places make a truly hand-crafted coffee. We have moved away and their coffee is one of the things we miss most. Highly recommend!!“

“I loooooove Crazy Carrot and definitely recommend checking them out if you want a healthy eating option in Guelph. I would eat their Oaxaca bowl everyday of the week if I could (great portion, love the dressing + hot sauce). But anytime I've tried something different off the menu, I've loved it too. So anything you get here is a winner. Great staff, super quick service. Love love love!“

“I was here Sunday the 14th mid day and it was super busy with a massive drive thru line all the way to the mall and the team handled it AMAZINGLY! I don’t think I’ve seen people move so quickly but still have a smile on their face. The team here always has impeccable customer service even when they get slammed with a mid day rush. Favourite location by far ❤️“

“I came in today for my birthday latte and was welcomed by a very dynamic young lady named Daisee. Her personality and great big smile totally made my day and my experience. She definitely loves her job and loves interacting with people!! The Latte was fantastic. Thanks“

“I stopped going to Williams cafe about 7 years ago because the food is extremely disappointing. Since then they have renovated and I believe switched owners so I went back today for convenience and turned out to that was a mistake. I got the chicken pesto panini which was first of all tiny then came with bagged chicken and some very horrible Coleslaw&pickle. Cost me $22 dollars for a coffee, cookie and a small sandwich. zero effort was put into the delivery of the food as everything they serve comes out of a bag. I could have gone to an actual nice restaurant and paid the same to get a better meal. I stopped here because I was at staples and went against my better judgement. I'm sorry for thinking that they improved their menu and food prep.“

“This starbucks is inside the metro but trust me the barista CASSIDY was amazing and made my drink so perfect the way i wanted, if you ever experience other Starbucks are out of stock the stuff you looking for, definitely try this one you will never regret, plus Cassidy will make your drink so perfect.“

“The food and drinks here are excellent. The service is okay but I find that it can be inconsistent. Sometimes, it takes 10 minutes for food but my drink was made quicker. One time I ordered a cold pastry and it took about 10 minutes to get to me, while the employees were standing around and talking amongst themselves. Overall, I enjoy coming to this Starbucks.“

“First time here , i came to the ICAS offices and i really wanted to get a hot drink and google showed me this tim hortons. I was looking around but can’t actually see no locations, so this is located inside the ontario building so close i was soo happy because i had an appointment and i didn’t want to take me so long waiting. , anyway you pass through the spind doors and turn left you will pass the conferences room and and the end of the hall is a cafeteria so easy and self service which is great , i was in a hurry.

They have a big area for the sandwiches, salads, bakery this was around 11 am so it was only 2 girls at the front so you have to wait less than five minutes to pay . So is not a big issue.

I enjoyed my drink and happy to find this just a few steps from where i have my appointment.“

“This is my favourite starbucks in Guelph. I feel accepted, comfortable, and relaxed when I come here to work on school or need time to reschedule myself.

Parking: There is about 10 spots directly in front of the starbucks, but if for some reason those spots are all filled, there are lots of spaces a couple steps down from the infront parking lots.“
