The Cornerstone

What a delight! I originally found this place on the "Happy Cow" app which didn't tell me about ALL the vegan options. The food was very good. Very natural and fresh tasting. I sampled a beer, a local sour, ended up getting the wrong one but it was replaced quickly and had a fun chat about the beer selections with the staff. The team there were very chummy and happy. It seemed like they actually loved doing their work. It's great to see. They were attentive to the diners but not overbearing and didn't have forced behaviours. That's nice to see! Keep doing what you're doing, I can see why people kept coming in, even people who you wouldn't think would be eating there...if that means anything. Vegetarian options: Lots of vegan and vegetarian options! More vegan choices than I originally found through the "Happy Cow" app.

Coffee was mid. The chai tea was good. Not to sweet. The tiger cup was an excellent touch a much appreciated. The food was pretty good with lots of vegan / vegetarian options. Good atmosphere. The staff was extremely friendly. Highly recommend the antojitos. Delicious. The yam quesadillas were good too.Recommended dishesCurried Chickpea Walnut Wrap with Curried Potatoes

We had a chance to come and eat here on Wednesday night while we were at a dance competition at River Run Centre. We are vegan and gluten free so. A lot of places don’t have many options for us. There were so many delicious options here that we had to come back the next day for lunch to experience more of the menu.

Cozy atmosphere with incredibly friendly service. This is the kind of olace you visit to make yourself feel better if you had a bad day. I ordered their daily soup butternut squash and it was perfect for the cold temperature. Matcha latte was tasty and well mixed - no clumps! Definitely coming back for their heartier meals one day!Food: 5/5

Absolutely love this place! Enjoyed a delicious vegan club sandwich. Curried potatoes are extraordinary. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Since the new owners took over and they renovated the space is CLEAN now! And the food is even better. The best menu! Great service! My all time fav diner :

Amazing little restaurant in the heart of Downtown Guelph. The way they put the flavours together in their meals and snacks is absolutely fabulous. Plus, there's really decent coffee/espresso/teas to be enjoyed along with a curated selection of interesting local craft beers on tap. If you're in Guelph for any reason, and not even vegetarian, it's definitely worth a try! Vegetarian options: This restaurant is entirely vegetarian. Vegan and GF options are also available throughout the menu. Parking: Lots of parking available in the downtown area, some free.

Such a nice atmosphere with open stage, friendly staffs and customers. Lovely latte and decent food.

The Cornerstone is my favourite cafe in all of Guelph, and one of my faves of all time! The people are super lovely, which to me is the most important thing that makes it a comfortable place to eat, hang out or do work! It's also really cozy and the chefs make delicious food! I've been coming to the Cornerstone since I moved to Guelph in the early 2000's and I love that even though it's changed ownership, it still has the same great atmosphere and I can reminisce on fond memories!

I took a wrap with chickpeas it was good but I think they could improve on the presentation but overall it was goodRecommended dishesCurried Chickpea Walnut Wrap with Curried Potatoes
