    What a lovely little cafe! Definitely one of Guelph's hidden gems. Ordered: 3 berry smoothie - creamy, sweet and very berry flavoured. A little runny for a smoothie, but it tastes really REALLY good. Red velvet cake - moist and savoury. Better than your average cake, and the slices are generously sized! Strawberry gelato: To my surprise, it's made in store! It definitely tastes like its 30% fruit - the sweetness isn't artificial tasting at all, I want to try all the flavours now! The store itself is very cute and clean, I can't wait till I can sit inside. The husband and wife who run the cafe are so pleasant and friendly. Will return to try their Korean meals!! UPDATE: Returned to try their beef bibimbap and I was BLOWN AWAY by how good it was! I really cant describe how delicious and comforting this bowl is. The whole really is greater than the sum of it's parts!! You just gotta give it a chance. The dumplings were also very tasty, BUT TRY THE BIBIMBAP.

    I had a latte and a Bulgogi burger here. The late was really good, and the burger. My goodness, it was FREAKIN GOOD! The juicy meat served with fresh vegies, and the soft bun, mmm...😋 I couldn't help but getting one for take out for my wife. Very kind staff, too. Well, it was my first visit, but it certainly won't be my last.

    A Sweet Little Spot ♥️ Unpretentious and Delightful. The Owners Are Gracious and Humble. The Food Is Good and Extremely Affordable (Unheard Of These Days). We Will Definitely Be Back To Try All Their Items.

    Been wanting to come here for a while and I am so glad I did this morning. It's a really lovely little spot - quiet, relaxed and just really a pleasant space to be in. Service was super friendly and very very fast, the food (I had the eggs, bacon and toast with a big cup of tea) was quite yummy, and priced super duper reasonably. Can't wait to come back and try more stuff!

    What a nice little cafe! It's a gem hidden within the industrial area but certainly worth the visit. Good variety of treats to have with your coffee plus a few Korean treats for the adventurous.

    High ceiling made for a very open space. Oddly quiet, like a library. Very good cappuccino, water wasn't hot enough in our Orange pekoe tea. Lots of parking.

    Great cafe aesthetic with a wonderful selection of Korean options on the menu! The owners were very kind and welcoming; our bibimbap’s sunny-side egg was made into a dandelion flower shape complemented by colourful veggies for presentation. Such great prices for delicious lunch. You can easily get full off the packed beef Korean tacos that come with crispy hashbrown patties. The carrot cake and 3 berry (blue/black/raspberry) smoothie hit the sweet spots! Definitely will revisit.

    Was passing through randomly for work, found this place. Amazing atmosphere, wonderful customer service, and the best damn iced cappuccino I have ever had (seriously don’t know what he did differently, but a delightful surprise nonetheless).

  • 5/5 Rachel B. 1 year ago on Google
    The owners are so friendly and kind. Always greet you with a smile! Anything on their menu is tasty, from their all-day breakfasts (the ABELT is my fav), tuna or egg sandwiches and their Korean dishes. Drinks and smoothies are good too!

    I had a lovely mid-afternoon iced cappuccino with a friend at Starberry. The selection is great and the food is tasty. The atmosphere is relaxed, inside is a bunch of moveable tables and chairs. There is a lot of light let in by the windows. I would skip sitting for a long time on a very hot day because they don't have air conditioning but I would hands-down recommend their cold drinks. I'll definitely be back.

    I had a cafe latte and it was very good. The quality of their coffee and espresso is amazing. The owners take pride in making everything with their hands. Very friendly owners and relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely come here again! I recommend that you try it!

    One of my favourite cafes/lunch spots in Guelph. I have been going for years, since they were located on Edinburgh. Lovely, kind, genuine owners/staff! Lots of food options. Some gluten free options. Non-dairy options too. A very good study space! :)

    This is one of the best cafes in Guelph. We have been coming to Starberry for years, at every location they have owned throughout the city. They offer a wide variety of food and snacks including traditional South Korean dishes that are always always fresh and delicious. Amazing service and quiet atmosphere.

    This cafe was SO cute and nice! Found it by chance and decided to give it a try. The food was excellent and we were so surprised to learn that everything was made in house, including the ice cream (my personal favorite). We tried the chocolate Gelato, egg sandwich, beef Kimbap, and a slice of Boston cake (didn’t taste it myself but my friend had it). Everything was really good! Especially the Gelato and kimbap. Price is also good (especially considering the quantity and quality). I would rate everything a 9.5 or 10 out of 10 except the Boston cake (cuz I didn't try so I don't know. But from my friends response, probably a 9 at least as well) and the egg sandwich (maybe a 8/10). The owner was super nice as well. We came 30 minutes before closing but he didn't rush us and let us take our time to decide, order and enjoy the food. He even took some time to chat and see how we're liking everything. Thank you for the great food and service Bonggi! (I hope I remembered the spelling correctly 😅). We'll be back for more yummy treats 😋🥰 Note- the pic of the Kimbap was taken after a few bites so the portion is bigger than in the pic 🙃 Update: we visited this Cafe again recently. I got a BLT sandwich. The owner was so nice again and even served us a cookie each on the house. Just wanted to make this update and say thanks to the owner 🥰

    Passed by this small cafe on my way down Woodlawn. I turned around to stop and check it out. It was definitely worth my while! The atmosphere was super welcoming and relaxing. You could tell it was a smaller, family owned cafe in all the right ways. Staff was super friendly. I ordered the Korean Tacos, with a latte on the side. I actually asked the staff to recommend me a drink, since I like to experiment like that, and they happily obliged. The food itself was amazing. I have never eaten much Korean-Style food, but this was irresistibly good. I would have ordered seconds if I was not so full! All in all, I highly recommend this cafe. I'll be back on a regular basis for sure.

    Great place for a drink or a snack. Good selection, nice owners and staff, and affordable. Local businesses should be taking breaks here! Even a plugin at one table for a laptop along with free Wi-Fi.
