I visited for the first time on a Saturday during the Market, and sat outside. Had a veggie burrito, which was delicious, and then also got a pretzel from the stand set up about a dozen feet from our table. Service was pretty fast, considering how busy they were. They use little plastic animals to identify your table and order. I like that. I wish restaurants in my area did something similar. The Yeti also has a fun sign to go along with its festive name. And a water cooler, also, if you just want water with your meal. Wonderful place.

We stopped by for a quick drink and bite after seeing this place recommended in the Coffee Passport…read morefor K dubs, but unfortunately it ended up being a major letdown. We ordered two iced lattes: raspberry and lavender. They were ok, but nothing particularly memorable regarding the roasted beans they used. The bamboo straws were also frustratingly flimsy and kept breaking, which was especially annoying since the syrups settled at the bottom and you really needed the straws to mix the drinks properly. The major issue was the food service. We ordered a cinnamon bun and the Pregnant Sasquatch sandwich alongside our drinks, then waited nearly 30 minutes while watching people who ordered after us receive their food. When I finally went up to ask, it turned out the cashier had forgotten to send our order to the kitchen. This was stressful since we had an appointment in Toronto later in the afternoon. The cinnamon bun was then handed to us, which was sitting on the counter the whole time. Another 15 minutes later, a staff member came over to tell us they had run out of the artisan bun for the sandwich, so we had to choose an alternative. At that point, after all the delays and confusion, it honestly felt like some kind of compensation would've been appropriate. I ended up switching to sourdough bread. After waiting yet another 10 minutes, I asked if we could just cancel the sandwich altogether. The cashier assured us it was coming, and it finally arrived about 5 minutes later. To be fair, when I asked what happened, the cashier explained that they were very busy. But - there wasn't even much of a line when we placed our order, so the explanation didn't really add up. And unfortunately, after nearly an hour of waiting and spending around $30 on drinks and food, the sandwich itself was mid at best, Overall, the experience just didn't live up to the hype, and we probably won't be back.

The staff is super friendly and I appreciate the loyalty cards for coffee and bread. The bakery itself is small but so quaint being in an old historical house. If you haven't tried With the Grain, you're missing out on a Guelph experience.

I will try them again for the plant based options.

This is an adorable cafe, very quaint but very small. There are only 3 tables that seat 4 people,…read moreso my family and I had a fairly difficult time finding a spot since many pairs had taken the four-seaters. We were, however, very fortunate as one party of four was just leaving! Since we went in January, the cute Christmas decorations were all still up. The chalkboard is a lovely touch, filled with many scribbles and comments from visitors. Upon sitting down, we ordered four portions of their very famous roasted red pepper tomato soup. My order came with a side of chickpea artichoke salad (cost $8.38) - the waiter/cashier emphasized how it's a popular choice, so I decided to give it a try. It was a generous portion of both chickpeas and artichokes, but I found it overly sour (the balsamic vinegar) and there was just a bit too much oil. That being said, it was extremely filling! My dad's order came with the savoury scone/tea biscuit ($6.00). He enjoyed it very much, and wolfed it down. Meanwhile, my mom ordered a panini side ($8.38) - she got the chicken, bacon, cheddar, but we couldn't taste any bacon whatsoever. There were massive chunks of chicken, and the cheddar was deliciously stringy. The exterior was also perfectly crispy! The soup was very good ($5-6)! I loved it a lot, but my family's comments were that it became increasingly sour near the end. Indeed, it definitely needs to be served with some crackers to even out its tangy and tomato-y flavour. It was rich in ingredients, as I could feel the rough texture of ground-up celery, tomatoes, onions, etc. The service is impeccable - very kind, though slow. When we arrived, there was only one person on shift. Our waiter was very kind and patient, willing to explain each order and walk us through what's famous. When we asked about the soup, he gave us a small ramekin to sample and share. Moreover, halfway through the meal, he approached our table, apologized for not serving us water, and immediately brought some over. Because of the single-person shift, they also tended to be slow in clearing tables and in bringing our food over.
