“One of my favorite spots to go! Love the decor, staff, coffee and snacks! Always look forward to my visits❤️“

“Rockwood rocks!
We had an excellent lunch at Eramosa Cafe. The Western sandwich and the ginger-lemon tea were delicious! The cafe is quaint and warm and just a nice place to relax. Afterwards we went to the Rockwood Conservation Centre for a beautiful walk. Recommended for a relaxing country outing.“

“I am a good cook and a good baker, and I am not easily impressed by food at restaurants because I find most of the time I can make it much better myself. I can honestly say this place truly impressed me. Everything is made fresh and is fantastic tasting! The creme brulee crepe was beyond anything I could have imagined. I was expecting a traditional simple crepe, but what I ate was a masterpiece! It was beautifully presented in a cup and had a deliciously indescribable brulee layer on the top and the cream was unbelievably delicious and plentiful! The pastries and cookies are incredible as well. I am truly impressed.“

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

“Funeral arrangement this past Saturday was outstanding.“

“What a great lil cafe! We came here (on Monday 28th at 11:30am) because of all of their excellent reviews and I can see why! Amazing, friendly, welcoming staff, great food and coffee and excellent tunes and atmosphere! They knocked it out of the park for us. The staff, I can't say enough! I saw them interact with a couple very sweet, elderly regular customers and they really are the nicest people ever! This was the cherry on top of our trip to Guelph. Thank you!!!“

“Such a beautiful place, not like a regular Williams at all, everything is beautifully decorated, the vibes are supreme, the food is fresh, the restaurant is clean, the people are friendly 10/10 absolutely stunned with the appearance and restaurant in general.“

“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. 🥰“

“We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the river. Delicious salad with specialty in house balsamic dressing. Quiche of the day, squash & garlic was amazing. Our server was always there if we needed her. We'll be back for sure.“

“I had a hockey tournament in Guelph just this weekend and my friend recommended this place to go get a smoothie bowl. Just wow.

These smoothie bowls are so good and very healthy that I went 2 days in a row for a “in between games meal” and I was fuelled up.

Nice workers and a nice little seating area, but when me and a few of my teammates went in, it was a little small and there was a line out the door, so the space is a bit small for large groups.

But great place overall. Definitely recommend!

Dietary restrictions: There are some options with dairy and tree nuts but there are other options without if needed

Parking: There is reserved parking for other businesses but not heal.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely! I saw a few little girls walk in while I was sitting and they looked like they were liking their açai bowls!“

“We recently celebrated my wife's birthday at Einstein's...there was a group of 15. From the moment people walked in the restaurant the feeling was welcoming. Our service, food and overall experience was top notch. This was another reason why you should support our local independent restaurants, with a very fair price also...The comments from the quests were to come back and try all of the great looking meals that everyone was having...thanks again.“

“3.5 Recently had a Tour to U of G. A great experience and they prepared a meal for us. The salad was just a simple salad. The pasts was cooked perfectly but didn't have much flavor. However, the Chicken Piccata, was wow. Softest chicken I have ever had. Very nicely seasoned with bursting flavor. Our group was talking about this the whole trip haha.“

“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.“

“Pretty good coffee spot in the east end, where there are not as many options available. Service was top notch and good coffee. It wasn't busy when I was there. I just wish they had a few more options for food. There were only sweet treats when I was there, so I would like to see a few savoury options for a quick bite as well. Otherwise, great spot.“

“Fantastic welcome - great staff - superb food“

“Great place to come hang out with some kitties and maybe even find one you’d like to bring into your family! Easy to find, clean, and friendly staff. You can tell the kitties are well taken care of here.“

“Anne was so easy to work with and the cake and macarons we had at the wedding were delicious! We went with a quilted design found on Pinterest and Anne did the design better than the inspiration photo! Everything was great and delivery and coordination was smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend her!“

“Travelled from Goderich for a special luncheon to meet with my fellow authors from the "You Are... Enough" anthology. Six of us kept our server busy and she was always delightful and accommodating. The food was superb with very nice atmosphere and staff. Definitely worth the trip!“

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

“When your Mom turns 80 and asks for butter tarts instead of a cake for her party, I knew where to go. Thank you Capistrano’s“

“Lovely dark roast Muskoka coffee. Freshly made and steaming hot with a free refill. I had the white chocolate brownie cheesecake and it was worth every calorie. Also a bonus chocolate covered strawberry. A lovely Valentines treat on a freezing afternoon.“

“Went for breakfast with a buddy, and the experience was great! Friendly staff and warm scrumptious food both in quality and quantity, will go again with my kidos:-)5🌟“

“Son was craving an authentic shawarma which he finally got here. Had a crispy chicken pita which was huge and quite good. The poutine was yummy. Very helpful and patient lady at the counter, very friendly owner. Loved the quiet of the center. Neat location.“
