Cute cafe with attached art store, bookshop, and all sorts of other miscellaneous merchandise. The baked goods and drinks are amazing, and there are also packaged coffee beans that they sell up front. The place is pretty popular so expect a line. There are a lot of baristas though so service is pretty quick. There are tables and chairs on the inside of the café to eat, and a few benches outside. The art and merchandise stores are fun to browse through. Prices aren't too bad. Really great for finding souvenirs. read more

Cafe Guido - Gift shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Port Hardy, British Columbia

See all

Got a sandwich and tea here. Nice place connected to a book store and a craft store. Pastries looked good. Chicken salad was very good. Very nice atmosphere. Will go back for coffee and a pastry in the morning. read more

Delightful little place! Friendly staff (they deserve all the tips, they're always busy!) Be prepared to spend some time if you're there during peak times, it's a popular place for a reason! A small thoughtfully created menu that is consistently good, vegetarian options, and every coffee house drink you could think of plus more. The shop is full of incredible and sometimes quirky art from all local artists (are you hankering for a ceramic sparkly slug? They've got just the thing), the bookstore downstairs is always a fun browse. They've added a covered outdoor seating area during Covid that has turned into the preferred place to sit and sip. If you need a quick basic something for the road, they also have G2, a drive thru coffee hub by Home Hardware, with limited flavours for coffees and a few baked goods, but it's perfect if you don't have much time and you're not looking for something fancy. read more

Travelled all the way from Port Alice to have a great cup of coffee and a lovely sandwich (called the Sienna). I had a cold brew as well as an iced americano as it had to last me the whole day. Definitely a place to stop in. There is a wonderful book store and other things to purchase here too. read more

When you're in Port Hardy after a long day out in the rain and you need a cuppa make sure you check out Cafe Guido. I spent a month working up here and it was my mecca. The cafe and its staff are both warm and inviting. Everything I ordered was beyond my expectations. They make a mean slow pressed espresso, a rich creamy hot chocolate, savory sandwiches and some dangerously addictive scones. I assumed the scones are made by the kind man wearing the 'scone king' T-shirt behind the counter. I think the lemon raspberry is the most popular, but I particularly liked the pumpkin. They were so buttery and rich oh I want another one, but good thing I am now at home and temptation is far away. The other great thing about this coffee shop is that they have a new and used book store in the basement which also has a very nice selection of housewares and gifts. Upstairs there is another store which features some wonderful arts and crafts most of which are made locally. read more

It took twenty minutes to receive two reheated sandwiches. Don't recommend buying if you're on your lunch break.

Loved the Power Wrap with salsa and dark coffee. Delightfully friendly fellow took my order. So great to eat lunch at a table tucked into the terrific indie bookstore on the lower level! read more

The best coffee & paninis in town. Also if you haven't tried one yet, you must try their homemade scones.

A delightful little coffee shop with some nice food choices. Really accommodating staff. Clean and pleasant place to spend time. There is also a nice book store in their basement. read more

Amazing mecca in Port Hardy. Its not just a great coffee spot but a good place for breakfast sandwiches or scones with your morning coffee. Soup, salad and a long list of pannini are offered for lunch, with a long list of cold tea and coffee drinks. Good quality ingredients and well executed. These guys have raised the bar in Port Hardy!! read more

Great little spot! Good coffee, good food and a cute little bookstore. Add the friendly staff and it makes a perfect little stop.

Cafe Guido, my home away from home for a day after my travel came to a screeching halt....a stolen passport! I am very sorry that my memory does not recall the kind employee that helped me secure the airline information that supported my situation, but her face and hug are well remembered! Although I did not make the rehearsal dinner, the wedding was beautiful! Thank-you, thank-you! (...and the rest of the trip could finish a full sized book! Thank-goodness for helpful Canadians!!!) **** Cafe Guido****** more than a coffee shop!!!!!!! read more

Best in town. Attached bookshop and upstairs gallery showcasing local art pleasant to browse, but the cinnamon buns are WOW - nice to sit outside and watch the world go by - nice service and coffee good too. read more

When in Port Hardy, this is the place to get an awesome coffee/expresso. Even tried their pecan cinnamon bun and it was huge and delicious! Wish I had more time to sit down to enjoy the ambience. read more

This is the place to be and to be seen while having great coffee, tea, or frozen drinks along with fresh, homemade pastries and sandwiches and breakfast pizzas. There are several places inside and out that you can enjoy your drinks. If you aren't in the mood for drinks, you can peruse the book store or admire the artwork of local artists from time to time, Guido's will host local authors who will talk about their stories. All in all, Guido's offers a great and inviting atmosphere. read more

Awesome coffee and tea! Definitely a busy place, kinda loud but the staff are nice and the drinks are delicious.

Everything you need here. Coffee shop, soups, sandwiches, all very good. Wi-Fi. Artist's Co-Op upstairs, bookstore downstairs.

The place to be in hardy. Great coffee bar but also lots of food items. Get your Vancouver island souvenirs in The Loft. Pretty good book store also with lots of local interest. Pretty much the only place open on a holiday too! read more
