Reviews of Planet Coffee, ByWard Market, Ottawa (Coffee Shop)

Jaime Malagón

They have, besides coffee, a great selection of baked goods. It can, at times, get crowded.

Bob Moss

Excellent coffee, zingy lunar lemon bar and friendly staff.

Patrick M

Get a maple Machiato. Its not on the menu but they'll make it for you. Ita my favourite coffee beverage.

Stopped into this shop randomly on a Sunday and had some of the best coffee I've had in years. My girlfriend and I ordered the mocha with espresso, I believe. We both raved about it for the next few hours, wish I would have bought a large instead. Would come back next time we're in the area.

I am not a fan of sugarless coffee, but coffee here proved me wrong. For a change this is the only place where I liked coffee without sugar. May be it was the uniqueness of their coffee which made it taste so good..

Lorena Escandon

Good size outdoor space, and lots of hot and cold drink options. Everyone in our party enjoyed their beverage. I also had the vegan espresso brownie, and it was really good. The wait time can be long during peak hours, but they work really hard to keep the line moving and the service quick.

Martina Holtz

Very well organized for social distancing. Great coffee and muffins. Friendly atmosphere and service.

Olivier Courchesne

Good pastries and drinks. Would recommend for a quick grab.

Alexandre Faubert Charlebois

Outdoor seating is nice and quiet and the baked goods are usually pretty delicious. If you're going for a regular coffee it's pretty consistent but the specialty drinks are hit or miss and can get outrageously expensive, unfortunately …

Sari Williams

The coffee was subpar (very watery with an odd aftertaste), but the baked goods were delicious

B M Adnan

They serve Excellent Americano which is very refreshing and if someone wants extra shot they provide as well. Scones and chocolate chip cookies are fresh. And the environment is very pleasant to spend time with family even during this COVID-19.

Benjamin Huang

Great coffee place with friendly staff and lots of little delicious dessert, sweet food. One of my favourite place in the Byward Market area when I was visiting Ottawa. There's an ATM inside which was helpful when I needed to withdraw some local currency.

Jessica Perez

I love the maple latte is absolutely a must if you go. The staff is really nice (they were the ones who suggested the latte)

Anastassiya Puchshina

I absolutely loved the vegan brownie, the vibe of this place is amazing. The staff is very polite and quick without reducing the quality of both service and products. Highly recommend the place, I will definetely be back!

Bella

Wonderful service, tasteful and upbeat music which creates a chill/relaxing vibe, perfect lighting, comfortable seating, chic/elegant decor and layout, and delicious food and coffee. Accepts Apple Pay / Tap. Very helpful and friendly service. The barista who took my order helped me decide upon my drink, and brought my food order right to my table. I will definitely be returning to Planet Coffee in the future, and recommending it to friends. ????

Johanne Ranger

Isaac

Pretty good lattes and baked goods. Nice spot with their courtyard patio to sit on a nice day.

Sh Agha

Lovely corner , great coffee and sweats fully recommended , one of the best local coffee places in Ottawa and I believe their quality and fully encourage people to support local businesses instead of poisoned chemical frenchies coffee

Arushana Sunderaeson

My favourite local coffee shop in Ottawa!!! I moved to Ottawa last year and I was looking for a coffee shop that has not only amazing coffee, but a place for me to enjoy and support. A friend of mine suggested Planet Coffee and honestly …

Stephanie Kourakis

Haven't been to planet coffee in years and went today with a friend for lunch. Service was friendly and helped me choose a delicious sandwich. Also happy that they now offer pay wave! Definitely recommend this cute hidden gem of a coffee shop

Marika Boulefaa

7,50 for an avocado toast. A rip-off .

Laura King

I really want to like this place, it's in an interesting location, close to my work, and it's always busy at lunch. I don't love it because each of the 5 times I've visited, the food has been overpriced and underwhelming. This apple and …

S Shepherd

This shop is gem tucked away slightly from the hustle & bustle of every day traffic in the ByWard market! …

Etienne Dupuy

Had a scone and coffee here this morning. Staff were friendly. Scone was tasty and not too dry( often a problem with scones). The coffee was really good and they had plates and cups if you eat in. I much prefer this to platic or paper …

Carmen Elias

Delicious bread pudding. Try the Vanilla Earl Grey tea. Cozy atmosphere and great service.

Laura Kelland-May

Superb place for quiet coffee with friends. Close to the market and excellent shopping. They have nice shaded outdoor seating to enjoy your coffee and treats outside. Maybe on the pricey side but good atmosphere and location.

Dani OrtegaZarate

This place was so aesthetically pleasing and the baked goods were really good too!

Marina Walker

Staff was excellent. They were welcoming, pleasant and efficient. Gave me some useful tips about sight seeing in Ottawa as well. The coffee was great; much better than the coffee from the other local cafes around the area. Great place for a …

Lia Cole

Excellent coffee shop in the heart of the market. The staff alone are so friendly and engaging, but the treats and coffees and lattes are simply the best in the area. I love this place.

Stanimir Cvetanov

The name is very deceiving because the coffee is awfully mediocre. Ordered a medium ice latte and got a small cup with very very weak coffee and probably more ice than milk. The service and the sweets are pretty good. The location is also very attractive but that's a about it.

Tamimi Ahmad

Had a skor brownie and it was so good! The staff were friendly (and fast with making the orders!) and the cashier was happy to recommend things off the menu ????

Yoshuna

Really wanted to like this place more because it’s cute and close to Rideau, but I’m not really impressed. I find the food and drink items overpriced. I understand that its location is expensive and they may need to charge more, but it’s …

Angelina Bogdanova

Imagine situation: -You ask (and pay) for a medium cappuccino. Since you pay in advance, you give …

David Hopkinson

Had a delicious iced Mochacino which went far too quickly. Nice that all their coffee drinks can be served iced which is great for an oddly hot day in October like today

呪いい〜神様

Wonderfully made coffees and teas, sometimes I get the teas, and/or coffees on over because it's hot, but I need a little bit of a pick me up. Enjoyably delicious, and they will leave the cap off so you can see their latte/espresso art. …

Brian H

Such a cozy space. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is one of the best for a cafe in the city.

Valerie Baldwin

A great place to pick up coffee and a treat to sit outside or inside with friends. It is off the main road, quiet and relaxing. The pumpkin dessert and chocolate peanut-butter square were yummy!

Amy Bartlett

Always a nice quiet corner in the usual bustle of the market area— good coffee, tasty snacks (cookies are great generally)— staff friendliness has been variable in the past but has improved recently— great spot!

Camille Theophile

UPDATED REVIEW: (i will stick to drinks) Probably the best chai latte I’ve had! Super cute patio and hidden from the main streets. Really yummy carrot cake and so many delicious looking desserts and paninis! Will try again to have their …

Ka Tinka

Very nice atmosphere. Coffee tastes good, but not as good as I expected from a place called Planet coffee. Cakes are small but extremely delicious.

David Moss

Great food menu. Atmosphere was good. Great services. Everything was well organised. Food was tasty.

Szeréna Szabó

A great spot for when you’re in the area. Coffee was good, but not the best we’ve tried in Ottawa. The best part about this place was its outdoor patio. It had a really nice atmosphere to relax and chat or read a book away from the busy …

Kyle Cantal

Great coffee shop tucked away in the courtyard of the Byward Market. Every time I walk in I am immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Can't complain about the drip coffee - it is consistently good, but have yet to try any food or specialty drinks. The atmosphere is quite pleasant; good music, lots of plants, and a beautiful view. Will definitely be coming back for my coffee breaks.

Leila Rafati

Wow! Perfect! One of the best mocha i havd ever try! If you know Cafe Myriad( Montreal), the quality is equal to that! Perfect place , quality and outdoor sitting area! Definitely i will try it again

Natalie Romano

Fantastic coffee! Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a delicious latte and admire the gorgeous art and open air courtyard. Great hang out with a friend, especially in the time of covid. I will be coming here again! Highly recommend!

Michael Emeny

Can't really take photos. Coffee to good! The kids were polite so the place was kind to us all. Will be back for a date weekend with just the wife and I. A whole weekend of nice moments. This public secret was passed to me by a friend from the area, glad they did. Love the smells and the sights!

Logan P

The staff here is amazing. I went here on a Wednesday morning and they were super helpful!! Good coffee as well

Betssy Alvarenga

This place is a hidden gem (literally) you need to walk across a hall into a very charming square and there you have it. When not in lockdown they place some hay squares and you have this rustic and modern vibe. It's a great concept. The …

Nick Bordeleau

My all-time favourite coffee shop in Ottawa!

Marie Issa

They’ll make anything for you, even if it’s not on the menu. I didn’t see a cortado on the menu, but they happily made me one. I also tasted as many of the treats as I could. They were all great …cranberry date square was my fave. It’s in …

Esteban Naranjo

In terms of food, ordered the maple way coffee and an egg panini with cheese. The coffee was waaaay too sweet, the sandwich was nice. The ambiance was alright, but they had the door and a window fully open, so it was very cold. Also, the bathrooms were in dire need of cleaning.

DarkNightWolves

I went here while on a date with my boyfriend and I absolutely loved it! The drinks were amazing and the service is phenomenal! Though I don’t remember what we ordered, because I don’t know any of the words, I don’t regret my choices at …

Marissa Hutchinson

Amazing baked goods! Friendly staff aswell. Be sure to try the cheesecake brownie

Jose Muller

Really tiny and hidden coffee shop in ByWard, it's between a few buildings so it's surprisingly quiet for the location and hidden enough that it's not always super busy. Great place to meet with people or just sit down and get caught up on work

Chris O'Gorman

Great panini and delicious baked goods. I love the laid back and friendly atmosphere. I don't drink coffee- but their lemonade is always yummy! Definitely would recommend, just remember to bring cash as they don't accept cards. :)

Edzel Tabing

Delicious cream cheese brownie and maple way coffee! Service was excellent and price was of good value.

Kirsten Meadows

A nice cafe with brilliant atmosphere, very friendly staff. The taste and aroma of the coffee were extraordinarily good! A perfect spot to chat with friends over an excellent coffee.

Mr Moni

Great location for a coffee spot, loved the courtyard away from the street. The coffee is good but nothing spectacular, similar to a Starbucks. Great service and the berry scone was a perfect match for my coffee.

Dan

The service is always nice and friendly, but every time I've gone I'm always a disappointed with the quality of drinks (especially for that price point). Cute place though.

Dania

Great coffee and ambience on the patio! We got the small espresso with two shots.

Gord Downie's love child

Great coffee in a beautiful courtyard setting. Friendly customer service...

Rose Ahmad

This is definitely in the top 3 favourite cafés in Ottawa for me! Love their coffee, sandwiches, baked goods (musele cookie, nature bar and coffee cake! Yumm!) and most importantly the ambiance and coziness if this cafe. Love love love. Highly recommend ❤️

Megan Verhoeven

Had a soup, latte and a bar and it was all delicious!

Christopher

Avoid this place!!! It use to be great with good sandwiches but they have gone way down hill. Here is a photo of a sandwich I recently got from them... Expensive and terrible.

André T

A not-so-secret-anymore gem in the Byward Market. Love the coffee from this place. The atmosphere, staff and overall experience …

Alice

Good place to relax. The coffee tastes good, although preparation of specialty drinks follows more along the methods of Bridgehead or second cup rather than an Italian cafe (which is fine, so long as you know what you’re getting). There lots of variety of foods and snacks. A little over priced, but I don’t expect anything less than that from an establishment in the market. It seems popular with students so there’s lots of people on laptops, but it is spacious so you don’t feel to cramped. I would recommend Planet Coffee as a coffee shop in the market where you can relax or work for and hour +.

Jeremy Kwan

This place has pretty good vibes for its location. But was not impressed with the coffee. Coffee was not the focal point of their menu. Could hardly taste the coffee in my drinks - in both the cappuccino and iced mocha.

YM

Great quality coffee, very rich hot chocolate. Cozy atmosphere, good location, great service.

Nick Borcic

The coffee is decent and there is a reasonable variety of snacks. It can be quite crowded here and the seating isn't overly comfortable. A bit on the pricier side, which is expected for downtown locales. Overall a decent choice to have a coffee and chat with a friend.

anonymous turtle

The apple crumble was amazing moist and the sweetness was just was perfect , The atmosphere was nice and staff were cheerful
