Capistrano Bistro & Espresso Bar - Guelph, Ontario

Beautiful cafe/wine bar in the heart of downtown. Staff is super friendly, the inside decor is very cool with wood paneling and rustic mirrors. The outside has a huge patio for enjoying your beverage or food while being immersed in the downtown vibe.

This may be more or less important depending on who you are. I needed to kill some time during the work day while waiting for a train. They have a sign saying they may restrict laptop use during peak times. Fair enough. I asked if I could use my laptop, ... they said sure. Then once I had already paid for my coffee and sat down, they told me they have no internet. If you need a coffee shop to work, this isn’t it. The atmosphere is nice but I personally found the above experience a tad ‘slimy’ and won’t be back, either for this or for any other reason. Just left a bad taste in my mouth. Read more

Visited Guelph and a friend took me to Capistrano for Brunch. I am very fussy about my tea and the the pot of Red Rose was PERFECTLY brewed. I had the Avocado toast which had a great texture from the sour dough bread but more enjoyable were the sunflower ... seeds sprinkled on top. Highly recommended. Read more

Top Notch coffee, attentive to details and if not the quickest service, the quality more than makes up for it. They have really yummy foods on the menu, and we've often been delightfully surprised by how good the soup of the day is. I highly recommend the avocado toast, and the ... Cobb salad is excellent! They are so, very friendly and care a lot about customer experience. My little kid loves having lunch here once in a while, he requests it! Read more

Wonderful place to dream and plan about the future! Gorgeous decor, deeply rich coffee and convenient location make Capistrano our new favourite meeting place in Guelph.
