Planet Bean

Best place in Guelph to experience what coffee is capable of tasting like. Their pour-over coffees are an extra dollar thats always worth it, especially the darker roasts

I wonder if people who make coffee realize that being arrogant is not a job requirement
Shabby interior. Okay coffee, average selection. Disappointing service. But it's there, and it has coffee.

Despite a nice logo, spacious deck, and overall appealing initial Impression, I cannot recommend this location.
The coffee was stale and served from old large steel drums. The prices are expensive. I couldn't finish my drink as I was afraid it's would cause harm to my internals. Do not visit. Guelph has several nicer coffee shops in a walking distance.

Great spot to grab a coffee. One of the best lattes I've ever had. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Covid measures in place and followed. Great little patio area to sit at.

Had coffee twice this week at the downtown location. Both times the regular brewed coffee tasted old and stale. On top of this the staff that served me seemed disinterested, and as if I was imposing on their time. If I wanted crappy coffee, I would have gone to a chain coffee shop. I get that traffic flow is down and that the coffee could be sitting around for a while. That I get . However, there is no need to be aloof and so disinterested with a customer. Disappointing.

Love Planet Bean !!!! Whenever we visit Guelph we always pick up a few bags of Beans. Excellent quality and reasonable price. Thanks.

Best coffee shop in Guelph. Strong medium roast, well made espresso drinks. Staff are nice and friendly. they sell the bags of coffee in bags to take home with a wide selection. And the prices are normal - not high for the quality, actually worth the money for good coffee.

Fresh roasted beans, excellent coffee, yummy treats, (vegan + gluten free options) tons of places to sit and enjoy a beverage or get some work done, or meet someone and opportunities to support fair trade crafters and farmers.
It is arguably the best place to get a coffee while downtown.
Following a logical set-up, the layout of the coffee house allows for easy navigability of the space whether you are laden w/a stroller, kinders, or use a mobility device.
Located at an opposite corner to the Guelph Central commuter station, this location is accessible, operates ethically and is a staple of

Really fantastic service! I ordered the cascara but they were out of soda water so they offered me tonic water however it was extremely bitter for me but they were very kind in giving me a token for a free drink as well as remade it with lemonade to make it taste great.

I had the most amazing service at Planet Bean on Grange in Guelph last night. I accidentally dropped a teapot and shattered it in the middle of a business meeting (awkward!) and the two staff were so kind, helpful and truly friendly that I could not believe it. If you are looking for a genuinely welcoming and comfortable cafe experience I highly recommend this place, definitely will be back.

Love the almond bars and butter tarts. Can’t get enough. Also, coffee and staff are A+. Great overall location for great cup of coffee, snacks and ambiance.

So they sell cold quiche and they can't heat it up. If you don't have a food prep license then can you not sell food that need to be heated up? When I asked why they can't heat up the food they gave me attitude too....

Great coffee made with fair trade beans by fabulous people in a good location.
There you go. It's a good place to work. They have delicious snacks (the nuttah bars and sourdough cinnamon rolls, especially) and sell beans and brewing accessories, too.

Great Guelph spot for the coffee lover in you.
We stop here whenever we're in downtown Guelph (there are several good restaurants we like in the area), as they really do make a great cup of coffee. Their lattes and capps are amazing and my seventeen year-old daughter loves their mochas. Pastry selection (being European, a definite must with very good coffee) is actually pretty good, but I really enjoy their almond biscotti.
Order a coffee, have a seat and enjoy some good conversation. You can't go wrong with place place.

Great atmosphere, awesome and attentive staff and fantastic coffee and tea!
I have yet to discover more of Planet Bean as I just moved to Guelph but so far I am very impressed!

Coffee has a weird taste to it and their gluten-free baked goods aren't very good either.

The place needs a good cleaning. Don't bother asking the blue haired girl if your coffee is ready because she will bite your head off. Will not return. Should have walked to Timmy's.

The coffee here is great. And they offer many choices, on top of the two "Chatty Matty" and "Freedom Fighter" available to serve everyday.
The employees have ways been friendly and helpful over the years I have been frequenting.
My only request would be more vegan options for treats. The almond butter cookies are tasty though.

Wi-Fi is a hidden message this location but more importantly is the ambulance it has the feel of a cafeteria it's loud sound bounces off the walls and it's not really that great of a location. I find the servers a little bit snotty and overall not really the warmest experience. The only thing going forward is at the coffee is roasted locally it's fair trade in the summer they have an excellent selection of gelato

I have been to Planet Bean a few times now and love their coffee. Wish they offered more of a selection for snacks and food to grab on the go. The atmosphere is ok, not a lot of space to sit down though. The location is very convenient for those who are going/coming from the Guelph Go Station.

I have been here a couple of times already. I first found it on my way to the early morning GO Train and ended up with a great coffee and a fantastic muffin.

Great service, great atmosphere and their lattes and London fogs are the best in town. The baked goods selection is limited, but everything is fresh, flavourful and thoughtfully prepared. The gelato is incredible and the atmosphere is exactly what you would want from an independent local cafe. Put down the Tim's and Starbucks and check out Planet Bean.

Possibly the best coffee on the planet.
It's ait LOUD inside, so not great for studying.
Try the gluten free cookies!!

The best coffee!!! But sometimes (about half the time) the service isn't great (read: rude). A really nice atmosphere to sit and read a book or chat (once you get your latte and get away from the grumpy baristas!)

Man! The dude behind the counter with a nose ring, etc... knows how to make a latte that is 10 on the richter scale. I dropped by on a Sat afternoon with some friends and this fellow did a masterful job.
Not only is it done perfectly, but he also throws a cool art design on it.
Its a small place,a few tables, but hey, it is the best latte in town as far as I am concerned.
So Kudos to Planet Bean. Great staff,, and service.

I'll Be back, next visit to Guelph

Great local business in a prime location. The place itself is small but the floor to ceiling windows give a nice frame to the downtown Guelph scene. I ordered the feta bagel sandwich and the carmel latte (which is worth all the hype). Good food - fast service and supporting a non-chain business...two thumbs up!

I am not afraid of giving 5 star reviews. Planet Bean is wicked. The Orange floor, yellow walls and reddish pink curtains are awesome and make any hipster wannabe feel at home.

I moved to Guelph 2 days ago. The first place I visited was Second Cup on College and Gordon. It had nice seating but the Americano was lackluster and commercial tasting. What did me in was the sneaky WiFi that didn't let you get past the welcome screen.

What to do in a new city akin to hick-ville - or so I thought - without a decent cup of Java? I found my way over to Planet Bean and ordered a super tasty Americano
