Review Atmosphere Cafe + Etc. - Guelph

We were searching for a nice patio that was dog-friendly and we found it! The food, drinks and service were incredible. We live in Kitchener and it is very much worth the drive to come here. The pizza and sandwich I had were so very good and the energy here is refreshing.

I walked in and was welcomed promptly by a server. She was nice, knowledgeable about the menu as she answered my question, gave me recommendations for draft beer, ended up with an Elora that paired well with my meal. All in all service was great. The food was fantastic. I never knew I could crush a burger that fast while not being super hungry, it was to put simply, AMAZING! What comes on the Ultimate Burger makes it sound like it will be super weird, possibly disgusting. But it makes you a beliver after you taste it that corn relish and sprouts should be on ever burger! Aleast it did me. The roasted red pepper vinegarette was really good. I know it was meant for the salad but I dunked my burger in it once and was freaking out! it was so freaking good, it combo'd so well. It made the salad really good too, I don't know what the nuts in the salad were but it made the salad just that much better. I had a great time here. I'll probably come back soon as I'm craving another burger.

Great gluten free options & love their hot drinks menu. The cafe itself is warm and inviting with an artsy vibe and great for cocktails & conversation. The cheesecake is a favourite.

Have always loved the drink menu, service, and (ahem) atmosphere, here. Their patio also affords hard-to-beat people-watching opportunities. Not always a fan of the menu, but that's just down to my own personal preferences—and I commend them for not offering typical pub fare.

The atmosphere is great. I only wish the menu was more inclusive/ comprehensive of food allergies/ intolerances. I went for a drink and couldn't order anything from their menu: no uten free pizza or bread, most dishes had at least one ingredient that not everyone can take digest that easily.

Ordered the short rubber dinner and the Asian sticky rice meal and a signature cocktail, the gin fizz. Cocktail wasn’t anything to write home about, wouldn’t order it again. Short rib meal did have a generous portion of meat with it, which was nice. The meat was tender but there was too much tomato paste used and not enough other spices. And the carrots were…al Dante technically cooked but quite hard still. The Asian sticky rice was had by my dining companion who said the tofu was bland and the stick rice wasn’t very good. I tried a bit of the sticky rice and it tasted like someone had dumped a quarter of a bottle of sesame oil on it, I honestly spit it into my napkin. If it was my meal, I would have sent it back, but she didn’t want to make a fuss. Overall quite disappointing and we won’t be back.

Very rude wait staff. Asked my 80 year parents to leave a table in shade after they sat at a table to eat ice cream with their 8 year old daughter. Not even a polite "sorry to ask but these tables are for the restaurant use only" . It was a rude you have to move when there was one other couple in the whole place. I would think a neighborhood resto would connect that elderly people treated with kindness means you gain patrons of their family.

Simply wonderful. The service was excellent, and all of the staff, from the moment we walked in, were friendly and accommodating. Their gluten free pizza crust is "too good to be true" ... In fact, the waiter commented that people often question whether it's actually gf. The salads were fresh, colourful and tasty. After dinner coffees were top quality, and the desserts were sinful, without being overly sweet.

Sunday Afternoon on Patio. Great server had the thin crust steak pizza plus drinks! Will be back.

delicious eats, great staff and great service. menu items for everyone. one of my favourite spots dt Guelph

Pride of ownership reflected in excellent service, a great menu, and innovative specials.

Always a great experience. Wonderful food that's really made fresh. Service is casual and friendly. One of my favourite places to eat in Guelph.

The food was great it was a really nice place I go back again

Great customer service and great food. I love the gender neutral bathrooms. Choosing an element made me feel like I was about to make a major life decision lol. Great experience overall.

Excellent food and excellent service. Loved the lamb.

Reasonable pricing, big city decor, small town friendly service, and made-in-house-desserts!
