We love this spot! Great coffee and awesome sandwiches and wraps. Come here everytime we visit PH. Love the Book Nook and Craft shop as well. My late father was a long time resident of PH and wrote a poetry book of his adventures of the west coast and its featured in the cafe and sells in the book nook This is a must stop to stop while visiting this lil gem of a spot in the island.

We love buying local when we travel and this was the perfect spot. The Chai Latte had a great flavour (coming from a cafe owner) and was nice and hot. We tried a few cookies and they were quite yummy - the chocolate chip was a little well done but the flavour remained) It is a great store with lots of seating inside and out, a great book area attached to buy books on all sorts of subjects and a gallery upstairs with lots of local arts and crafts! Some a bit pricey but worth the purchase Staff was super friendly and of course you can’t leave without petting the puppy!

I loved this place. Opening at 7am meant I could stock up before day trips and what a great selection. I bought extra because I couldn't decide! I had time one morning to visit the book and gift store which is curated with style, humour and variety. I left with armfuls!

What a fantastic little cafe!! We had hot chocolate and wraps, both very delicious. The hot chocolate was hot! Very friendly service. Beautiful mounted photographs on the walls that are for sale. They show images, mostly wildlife from the area. A very busy place but nicely laid out with round tables.

Cafe Guido in Port Hardy is a delightful spot not just for its great food and coffee but also for its welcoming ambiance. One of the standout features is its collection of books, which adds a cozy, literary touch to the cafe. The shelves are stocked with a diverse range of titles! A bought “The Curve of Time” from here !

Loved this stop on our road trip!!! It was a very unexpected delight. The service was friendly and efficient. The coffee's we bought were so yummy and the treat we bought was delicious! The venue itself, is so nice, and there are two other levels to look at while waiting for your fresh coffee or treats, filled with local artisans great works of art.

While we were staying in Port Hardy over several days, CG became our regular morning stop before going hiking. The charm of this coffee shop is so perfect. It's a wonderful space. The gift shop downstairs is terrific, as is the gallery. The coffee is spectacular. We can honestly say they have one of the best blends we've ever had, particularly for decaf. And the food they offer suits everyone's needs. We highly recommend CG!
