    Iced americano
    Jeff G.

    There is a good selection of cafes in Guelph. With a crowd of so many students there is always lots of studying, and with studying comes coffee!...I dont know if my logic really makes sense, but it works for me atleast. Anyways, Balzacs is a well known name, especially in the Toronto area. This location is a great addition because now it means there are even more places to drink coffee in Guelph! The space inside is bright and happy. Just by looking at how well put together the establishment is, good coffee seems a likely outcome. I always love espresso from Balzacs. It is the perfect amount of tart and bitterness- if my body allowed for it, I would drink a full cup. It goes without saying then, that their espresso based drinks are also excellent. If you wish, you may also choose to purchase a drip coffee. It is worth noting that Balzacs always offers a Fair Trade Organic option. However, coffee is not all that is offered here; there is a selection of tea (served in a little tea pot) as well as other cold refreshing drinks. Dont forget about snacks! There are so many to choose from!! From cookies, to brownies, to cakes. There are also other options that are less common like turkish delight and loose granola. My favourite so far is the peanit butter rice krispie treat. So good!

    Love Balzac's Latte's!

    Love ALL of the locations of Balzac's and love their Parisian Mist especially. Always a great stop for coffee or tea.

    Drip coffee is worse than Second Cup and Starbucks. Nothing too special in my opinion.

    We actually were in the area visiting and planned to go to Starbucks across the street but when we…read moreparked, I noticed Pilot Coffee Roasters so we decided to stop there instead since it's not usually within reach for us. As we walked in, I noticed the open concept and minimal decor and fell in love with it! We were greeted by both the employees working right away and I must say, the customer service was perhaps the best part of the entire experience. We were never rushed to order as they gave us plenty of time to debate the menu and when it came time to order, the gentleman was very thorough and helpful with the sizes of drinks, explaining the milk alternatives which are free of charge, order was clarified to ensure it was correct - all in all, you could feel he took his time to get things right for us. When our iced matcha beverages were handed off, he realized he didn't let us know they come Una's a default and there, he offered simple syrup or vanilla syrup of our choosing since we do prefer our matcha sweetened. After tasting, we told him two pumps wasn't sweet enough and he kindly added more syrup for us. I personally ordered the seasonal white chocolate matcha as a hot beverage which was tasty but a little too sweet - I would request for half sweet next time. I also got the sea salt chocolate chip cookie as I couldn't resist (it looked so good in the pastry display!) It turned out to be absolutely delicious - the edges being the best part. My mom said it paired well with her Americano which was made with their Heritage blend. Speaking of which, before my mom ordered her coffee, she was offered to try their brew before buying which was really helpful as it ended up being too acidic for her. The Heritage blend was much more her preference with the nutty notes. All in all, a nice place to study and/or grab a coffee and snack to go! I'd highly recommend anyone to visit if in the area.

    I had an excellent flat white here today. Deep flavor without being bitter, and a great milk foam…read more Practically empty on a weekday morning. And they had a WiFi password posted.

This one is perhaps the most…read moreelevated one, and a long line queues right at the window to order off the sidewalk and patio. It's pricy but expected on the main street of a touristy area. Good portion, and great flavours. Service moved quickly and my friend enjoyed her affogato, and I cooled down with a delightful cream soda float! They have vegan and dairy free options clearly marked on the menu. Something for everyone here! Great part of our visit to Elora in the sun.

We spotted a cart selling Cold Cofee and I immediately gulped it down. I thought that would be enough but then I spotted a huge crowd around a store. Intrigued, I approached and noticed it was an Ice-cream shop. My foodie instincts kicked in. I immeditely stood in queue. I was lucky that by the time I decided, the crowd had dispersed a bit and my number came after a 5 minute wait. I scanned the menu on the glass window and ordered the large cup with 2 scoops: -Mango - Hazelnut Praline Paid around $9.50 with taxes and stepped away, only to notice that during our wait the queue had grown tremendously and still growing. Thanking my stars, i stepped away from the crowd and dug into the flavors. The mango was delicious. It wasn't overly sweet and had a bit of tang to it. It was more of a sorbet and had flavorsome resemblence to the real fruit. The Hazelnut Praline was creamy and on the sweeter side. The flavor had nice hazelnut tones but I'd have prefer a much deeper flavor, especially of praline. The two contrasting flavors made us enjoy each of them thoroughly, especially on a sunny day. To Foodies: There are a lot of places at Elora delling ice-creams and soft serves - we tried a couple. Of them all, this one was the best. They have lots of flavors and variety of items to satisfy your sweet cravings. Though some may find it a bit on the expensive side. To Management. Great service. Good ice-cream. Nice assortment of flavors.. A bit of queue management outside the shop will make the experience better. Overall, it was a delicious,soul-satisfying experience on a hot, sunny day.
