As a student I love coming here to get some reading/work done. The music is always great. (one Monday night there were some old guys jammin and that was really nice!) The staff are the kindest and best in Guelph: always smiling, great service, will let you run a tab and pay when you leave and are just downright friendly. You always see the owners popping in and out helping out and they seem to have a great relationship with the staff, which is perhaps why the staff always seem so happy and are so nice. As a student I do find the drinks and food expensive. As someone that doesn't drink coffee, i usually end up with the Chai Latte, and a large comes to almost $4! But I tell myself I'm paying for the ambiance as well, and it's worth it. The lighting is great, intimate at night, but still bright enough to read in, and some of the tables even have their own lights. There isn't much healthy to eat for vegetarians except muffins. When I've looked most of the sandwiches available have meat. Overall, this is my favorite spot to come to in Guelph. I'm always bringing friends to show this charming place to, and I've noticed that most people I tell about it now have already been there, so I think good news spreads fast. This place is a gem.
