Planet Bean Coffee - Wyndham — Restaurant in Guelph

I don’t normally give negative reviews…and I am hoping that with more training that the food and coordination of service improves. I was once a regular at the original Planet Bean. I ordered breakfast and some baking. I only ate the two small pieces of bacon (which were tasty), the very dry, small serving of flavourless, cold “scrambled eggs” and I could not eat any of the $4.00 cold, hard, unseasoned potato wedges. There was no salt or pepper visible…I was too tired to get up and ask..after 3 trips to the till and counter just to get our order and pay the bill. The baking was overrated as local and high quality ingredients…at $5.00 per small muffin..and a lemon square with a rock hard bottom crust…another $5.00. When I needed sugar and cream for tea and coffee…they had run out…and did not know where there as sugar …I spotted a bowl of sugar on their inside counter…and then I used it ….The tea and coffee were good, once we found the cream and sugar!! Overall it as a disappointing experience. At the till, the cashier and the “cook” were not able to clarify the bill…it took a full 5 min. to get to an agreement. I would recommend that they get an experienced manager and cook to train the staff. Without this, I fear their food options may put people off. I really hope this place will improve…so that I can enjoy being a regular customer. The young women at the till was...

I’ve been here many times. Nice selection of medium roast coffees that stand head and shoulders above the stale, burnt, &/or artificially flavoured stuff available at my Zehrs. Kinda pricey, but worth it. Nice bold fruit, nut, and chocolate flavours to be found in their roasts.

They serve a number of different coffees, plus some coffee bar biscotti, tarts, etc, and some juices. I’d recommend a light roast triple Americano with a lemon or almond bar. They also have a wall of regional event flyers and similar media.

The staff’s nice. Some of them tend to take their time making an order, and while I’ve been surprised by some items (eg. their macchiato is much sweeter than I expected), I’ve never been disappointed.

High ceilings and wide windows, a fair amount of seating. Either the floor or the tables can be uneven in parts, so don’t slam your hands down in shock at Guelph’s regional politics, unless you hate your scarf, like I did. That’s to say, tables can be wobbly, so try not to spill.

There’s a bike rack on the corner, and a few other racks nearby. A few spots for parking snake around the corner, but they’re...

Friendly independent coffee shop. 4 locations, all in Guelph. This one's the best imho. Laid back atmosphere. Good natured staff who serve it up hot or cold, simple or complex: however you like it best.

One thing I love that doesn't get enough recognition by reviewers is the great little bookshelf of mixed classics. The bookshelf offers a standing invitation to take a break from mindless scrolling. You don't realize how caught up you are until you open one of these - and get lost in a whole different way.

Lots of windows, big plants, and the curving counter give the shop a wonderfully cozy feel. Such a great fit in...
