Reviews of Atmosphere Cafe + Etc. (Restaurant)

George Vamos

I loved the ambiance here. The service was excellent, very considerate and polite. I really liked being able to see the food preparation. The age of the building adds to the character of the room.

My go to for aperol spritz and vegan pizza

Josh Bertin

Great Tasting food the Ultimate Burger is forever in my top5, so lush and juicy. Great place for an intimate evening or hanging on the patio for a few brews. One of the nicer choices for takeout when you want a little extra decadent freshness. Overall a charming spot I would recommend.

Sukhman Dulay

An atmosphere to experience - simply said they do things well. The interior feels great with its stone walls and dim lighting. The staff is super kind and attentive. The cheese cake is to die for. Leaves an overall memorable experience. However it also leaves an empty wallet. Overall 4/5

Reggie Billingsworth

Whole experience was excellent. Food amazing, service attentive without being pushy friendly, and hard working! And yes, the atmosphere is impressive too. I like the scale and the slightly and eccentrically cramped linear quality to the layout. They make it work and so I am looking forward to returning for more elaborate experiment with the menu choices.

Maude Stephany

Every time our family comes here, we get excellent food and service. We also like the cool artwork on the walls (which changes frequently).

Kimberly Hutten

Appropriately named. A great atmosphere, a good spot to enjoy a coffee, drinks or a meal. Delicious food!

Sierra Lefave

The pizzas here are to die for. So bloody delicious. Wait time can be a bit long because it’s a TEENY kitchen, but they make it happen. Totally worth the wait. They have house made chips with dip, best appetizer ever.

Jeff Gribbon

Lobster Mac n’ cheese is great. Cozy spot for food and/or drinks.

ric “Roar” alro

Nice location, delicious menu and good service, do not missing

Paul Arnold

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 …

Dwayne Williams

We ordered lunch for pick-up and food was packaged nicely and very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend and we will be back again!! Thank you.

Tara Signorelli

This place is cool and has some great food options. Service is always good and the food taste great. The view of city hall fountain is lovely in winter or summer.

Atmosphere Cafe has a great downtown location, an amazing space and friendly staff. The food was not consistently good. Our group ordered hot apple cider to warm up from the - 16 C day and received warm, clear, apple juice. No spices, cinnamon sticks or any hint of cider. The spinach, squash and beet salad was delicious. Every bite brought me back to the present moment! The special of the day, a cream of mushroom soup would have been better if it were not so salty. Our waitress took back our "ciders" and did not charge us for them after we pointed out that isn't what we were expecting. Would I go back? Probably. The salad was good enough for me to give Atmosphere a second chance.

Kiki Snook

Atmosphere has been me and my husband’s favourite restaurant in Guelph for years. The food is so fresh, healthy and made with whole foods, which is important to me. The servers are always really nice and helpful. They have the best salads, pizzas and cheesecake too!

Donna Shen

Food was tealy tasty! 2 of us had the lobster tuna salad and another had the a vevetarian sandwich and salad. It was our 1st tims at Atmosphere. A friend made a great selection for us since we were meeting mid way between toronto and Guelph. Service was wonderful and very helpful. Food allergies were very accomodating. Great place for any meal.

Jodi Maciag

I picked up take out for myself and 4 coworkers, all five of us were SUPER impressed! I had the BEST vegetarian sandwich ever, pizzas were awesome too. Everything was ready exactly on time which is a nice touch. This will be our new go to lunch spot for sure!!!!

Riley Joe

Amazing food! Can be a bit pricey but if you would like to treat yourself/ loved one you have to go !!

Eric A.

We had a party of 15 and everything was excellent. The food was delicious and all came on time, there were no mistakes at all, and the servers were friendly without being pushy. The menu offers something for everyone and all members of my party enjoyed their meals. I would not hesitate to recommend Atmosphere, and I'll definitely be going back.

Lynda Murray

One of my favourite places in Guelph!!! The food is delicious -- fresh, local and so yummy, the service is outstanding and the patio truly is one of the best in downtown Guelph -- a perfect place to enjoy a glass of Napa Valley Chardonnay!! Thank you Nicole for always making our visits so enjoyable!

First Last

Great service, pizza, drinks and small patio. Recommended!

Nava Yazdani

This used to be my go to place after a long day at work. I haven't been there for a couple of years. There was a point they closed. Will definitely visit soon.

Tony M

Delicious food from a fantastic restaurant. The butternut squash soup was quite sweet compared to a traditionally prepared dish. The lobster mac and cheese had a delicious buttery sauce which was very tasty. The beef and gnocchi dish was also flavorful. Sunday is not a significantly busy night, which made for a very quiet and personal experience. Will be back again of course

Kat JD

Everything on the menu is delicious! The pizzas are a personal favorite. Wonderful service and love the decor! I always try their featured cocktails. Atmosphere has a great cocktail menu ????

Michael Bennett

One of the best Covid-19 Safe patio spaces in Guelph! Lots of separation, sanitizing wipes, and friendly staff who explain the protocol and makes you feel safe. Top if off with some great eats, and great drinks, you can't go wrong stopping here. Oh, and they have some nice heaters to help make the patio season stretch a little while longer!

Matthew Ethier

Had an espresso and a couple cookies while on break. Friendly and fast service. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Both the espresso and cookies were very good.

Tanaka Biti

It actually does have the perfect atmosphere. Food quantities are questionable. I would mind paying a little more for the portion of food to be normal. Otherwise it was delightful. Very beautiful and cozy.

Ian and Lauryn Conlon (LIFT Guelph)

Our favourite street side patio and a Great place for a SPA and our favourite ... crab cake starters

El-Candy Ajayi

Pizza was amazing. Wait staff was great. Even the other patrons were nice and friendly. I got a pizza with potato in it, and it was awesome.

Sabina Bashir

The ambiance in this cafe is excellent! Great spot for lunch, dinner or drinks! Our server Shauna was exceptional- super attentive, kind and friendly! Despite how busy it was, the service was timely and the food was great! We will definitely be back

Arthur Marra

Service is very good. Had a pizza and a beer with some friends and found it just ok... really wanted to try the drinks. A bit pricy.

Anita Van Rootselaar @ RE/MAX - Guelph Area Living

Our absolute go-to for pizza Downton Guelph. Their original combinations showcase the love of fruit, veggies, meat & various cheeses and in combination are amazing! Their gluten-free crust is THE BEST in Guelph, bar none. Begin your meal with their fresh soup, the tomatoes basil is a party in your mouth???? desserts are very delicious!

Casey

Ordered the tofu banh mi (recommended by staff) and burger to-go and we were stunned at how good both were! Literally returned a few weeks later to have the same order again hahaha! Pre-COVID, we loved coming here in the winter because of how cozy and intimate it is inside, and the selection of art is always wonderful!

Nikolai B

Great and flavorful food, I love the mood this spot has, and the workers were very friendly. I will definitely visit here next time.

alex rushlow

Love this place, one of my favourites in downtown Guelph. Always amazing food and great service. The burger I got was out of this world.

Smita Thekkepat

I'm from Toronto (well, Mississauga), and came to Guelph to visit friends - she took me to this very sweet establishment and we had great service, I ordered the Tofu Banh Mi sandwich and it came with a salad, it was absolutely delicious! And the price was amazing. I would LOVE to eat here again!

Isaac Bilodeau

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. …

Glenn Soltes

Dares to actually cook something delicious and flavourful..... without being overbearing, salty or sweet. Nice atmosphere and reasonable taste in music..... Been 3 times and had a great whole experience each time......

Greg Reed

I truly enjoyed the Beef Tenderloin Pizza. Also staff were attentive and engaging. I'll be back.

Irene Szabo

Atmosphere has set a great system for takeout. The have created delicious takeout meals and par cooked them. You can pick up or they deliver. Can't eat the minute you get your meal home? No problem, you can finish cooking it when you are ready. They seem to be the only restaurant in Guelph doing this. Also they make the best salad dressing.

Idil Abdi

Love their thin crust pizza here.

Anna Kim

Stopped in on our way home a couple of nights ago, around 6:30 or so and stayed for a light meal (accompanied by a couple of Beau's Full Time IPA on Draught) One soup of the day - Roasted Red Pepper, which was excellent (we shared); then …

Roisin Brannigan

Atmosphere Cafe has a wonderful ambience and excellent service. Somewhat of a small menu, but everything on it is tasty. Their gluten free pizza crust is fabulous.

Gabby - O D

Me and a few friends stopped by for drinks. They have a varied selection of all types of drinks. Both alcoholic and not. The waitress was very polite and very helpful. Will have to try food next time. But I had a lovely experience.

Rayna Lew

One of my go-to places in Guelph. I've eaten here for more than 10 years and it never disappoints. Countless birthday parties, lunch breaks, and staff dinners to count. It really lives up to its name with quality food and a fun place to relax.

jp m

Food was good and our waiter was very attentive. Originally sat at the front which was a little tight quarters so asked to be moved to the back of the restaurant, and was much nicer. Shrimp appetizer was amazing, and lobster mac and cheese was okay (not much lobster). Their pizza on the other hand was amazing - good price and really unique ingredients.

Arthi Anthony

Service was impeccable! Such friendly staff and good food. Overall a great experience.

Manon H

Great and cozy place near Guelph Station, downtown. Service is fast and courteous. The salads are very good (though a bit small; order something else if you're hungry). Bread is delicious. Big selection of spirits and beer on tap. For tea, try the Guelph fog, a foamy, smoked free tea with amaretto syrup!

Andrea H

Great pizza! Very different but a favourite!

Mercedes Johnson

Atmosphere Cafe is my go-to place for a relaxed casual meal out. My spouse and I are always impressed with the super-friendly staff, excellent food, and "atmosphere". In the summer you can enjoy the outside patio and in winter the inside is warm and cozy. Always a good choice to choose Atmosphere!

Eve Kahama

The salmon was fresh, bagel was amazing and the salad dressing on the side was divine! One of the best smoked salmon sandwiches I've ever had!

Susan Goodwin

Horribly overpriced for what you receive the "burger" has a terrible texture , and everything is brutally salty.

Matthew Waters

Great place to stop for a bite. Good food and great service.

Chris Li

Food here is decent. I've tried mostly lunch items such as the Club Sandwich, Woodland Pizza, and Bahn Mi Sandwich among others. I like how their sandwiches come with a salad and French dressing. As for non-alcoholic beverages, I've had a mug of green tea as well as a grapefruit Italian soda. Service is friendly and professional. I look forward to trying other items on their menu.

Liam

Very tasty food - all of it is very healthy ingredients for the most part. They have an excellent beer selection and it is an intimate setting. Perfect for vegetarians, but still good meaty options for the meat lovers.

Fred Guy

Great burger. Amazing woodland pizza

Alec Schaefer

Pizza was delicious, service was fast and friendly

Lutero Griggs

My spouse and I have slowly been working our way through Guelphs restaurants. We stopped at Atmosphere for lunch after the market several weeks ago and vowed to go back for dinner! It was fabulous. I would highly recommend the Arctic Char was perfectly cooked and the vegetables were crisp and hot. It was perfect. My spouse had the lobster Mac & Cheese and it as well was fabulous. It was so good we went back for lunch the next day to compliment the Chef!

Marc “notsopopularmechanic” Dumais

Four of us attended dinner on the patio. Service was prompt and were quite happy with our entres. Definitely reccomend the beef short ribs they were delicious!

Gerald Guidolin

Went in after being recommended to check it out when I had dinner at Turtle Jack's the other weekend by my regular server, Shawna. She gave me her schedule at her second restaurant and I decided to try it out. She recommended the Cabernet which was delicious. The gnocchi is to DIE for and so was my dates duck confit. Amazing presentation and great, friendly service. 10/10 for this guy!

Julia Pfeifer

Such a cute little café. Privately owned, which we love. The food was made absolutely perfect as well. Everything was so delicious, we left completely satisfied. Portions are generous as too. We will definitely be coming back.

Tom M

Had a pleasant lunch with my family. Some constructive feedback. Halve the salt in some of the dishes (tuna/lobster and jerk chicken tacos). Salty is nice for the first few bites but then builds up.

Jennifer Lynch

Food is quite good. And our waitress was excellent. I have been multiple times an always happy.

Melanie

This place never disappoints. Best salads in town! Updated Review: Came back (of course!) on Aug 29 2019 for supper with the SO. …

Anit P

Came here while meeting up with a friend. We weren't looking for anything heavy to eat so we split a pizza and chips. The pizza was good, nothing exciting in terms of speciality but better than what you would get from other boxed franchises. The atmosphere was good in terms of up more up scale. The venue itself is fairly small but can be enjoyable. Would recommend it for a try.

John Hay

lovely food , great price, lors of capacity, great classy vibe. will go again

Joan Sanders

Had “sweet crepes” yesterday (Sunday). There was a thick about 8” crepe (if you can call it a crepe) folded quarterly. It had been spread with a little strawberry ( looked like jam) in the middle. It was served warm with a pile of melting whipped cream on top with one strawberry on the side. It was “wet” and runny and I would never order a crepe In there.

J C

Awesome food and service. Chef makes a surprise dish every day that's not on the menu-very exciting !! Pizza is thin crust and tasty! Soup and salad was great. Definitely going back anytime I'm in Guelph.

Douglas Wilmot

Pizza crust resembles a stale cracker more then a crust. Toppings were decent but doesn't make up for the awful crust

Kermit Ester

Their pear and avocado salad is the best salad i have ever had! Lobster white tuna sandwich is also yummy would definitely come back hereWe also had the homemade potato crisps to start which were very good. That being said, one of my friends food was forgotten so he had to wait while everyone ate

Kim Helm

Best lunch I've had in a while. Great salad and pizza. Attentive and pleasant staff and atmosphere. Enjoyed the music track too!

Jonathan Kelso

Service was very attentive and good. Server was very pleasant and checked on us and the food a number of times - so, well done ! Food was good, but I was not "wowed" by it. I had the Gnocchi and Spiced Pulled Beef main, which lacked flavour I anticipated. My wife had a goat cheese salad main, which was evidently quite tasty, although a touch on the small side. App shared was a Bruschetta with tasting bowls of various toppings which was good. A pleasant evening and we will return.

maria ramirez

While the location is great, I don't think the food lived up to expectations and somewhat pricey for what you get.

Katie McLean

Atmosphere has the best pizza in town. Their appetizers are also great, and the actual atmosphere is really lovely as well. Even better than all that, they have inclusive washrooms and are LGTBQ friendly (as everyone should be!) :)

David Keogh

Does not get any better than this gem of an experience. Delicious food, great service, quaint atmosphere, very reasonable prices. Our #1 go to in Guelph.

Eagle Eagle

It's hard to find a place that has great pizza, I tried the thin crust gluten free, its was amazing !!! We tired the pizza that had pesto sauce goat cheese spinach and nuts on it, this was something out of the norm for me And it was one of the best pizzas I ever tasted Amazing flavors !!! I live 90 mins away and I would definitely drive down this way again soon to have another one of their wonderful pizza

Dom Pan

Wow! The food here is out of this world. Had some of the most unique pizza. It was so good. I ordered their gluten free crust and was blown away. It is so delicious that you don't even notice the difference.

Nada Sabri

The waitress was very rude and discriminative against us because of our faith.

Pierre Bertrand

Nice little patio, great food, friendly staff. Now a favorite in Guelph. Pizza special was fantastic (steak, bluecheese, etc).

Christopher Delmonte

Great little restaurant in Guelph. We had the rice wine vinegar salad with pear and avocado that was fantastic....a one of a kind. The pizza selections are creative. We had the Woodland pizza that was delicious. The server was very helpful and friendly. Great value...Definitely a five star gem.

Alek Bednarz

Wife and I got a heat and serve meal. It was okay but the BBQ sauce was terrible. Totally put off by that. Would try something else maybe.

Clarke Colbourne

The best pizzas in Guelph. So fresh and light. Salads are perfectly constructed every time. You can enjoy a salad and a pizza and not feel guilty afterwards! Great staff and a great atmosphere for a quiet date night.

Paul Montague

We've eaten here twice and really liked it. The white fish special was excellent, the burger was excellent, the mushroom pizza was good but not needed something more (I added salt & pepper). The beer options are good if you're into Ontario craft beers but for us (too hoppy), a classic German or Belgium beer would add so much to the experience.

Johnny Sequoia

Everything about this place is great. The ambience, the service and the lighting. The food was a bit pricey but it was worth it for a night out. Can't say enough about how much your experience improves with you have a quality server who pays attention to the details. We were lucky enough to have that with Chris on our visit.

Roxanne Roy

Amazing food! Decent patio. The only downfall was having to walk around the block to use the washroom

Will Barbour

I've been eating healthy, really needed a treat and did I ever find what I was looking for at atmosphere. The ultimate burger is just warm welcoming hands full of decadence and the woodland pizza was the perfect pair. The quality ingredients and just shear quantity on the pizza is unmatched in Guelph. The power bowls are great too.

Annie Goltz

So perfect in every way. Great for a special date night or celebration.

Jason Hiemstra

Guelph has a good restaurant scene. Been to a number of places since my daughter goes to university there. Picked her up today and tried this place. Lobster tuna sandwich, ultimate burger, salmon sandwich and steak pizza. Oh yeah pear salad. All were excellent dishes, seasoned perfectly, tasted homemade for sure. Going back again.

Mr Joshi

Cool place to hangout for food and drinks.. the “atmosphere “ is absolutely amazing here ????
