A Historic Downtown Guelph Landmark
Planet Bean Wyndham Café is located at the base of the Connect Digital Hub, a building with deep roots in Guelph's history.
Originally constructed in the late 1800s as the King Edward Hotel, the building was one of Guelph's first large hotels and quickly became a centre of commerce and activity. With the railway station located directly across the street, travelers, business leaders, and visitors gathered here as downtown Guelph grew into a thriving commercial hub.
More than a century later, the building continues to serve as a place where people come together. Today, entrepreneurs, professionals, students, commuters, and coffee lovers gather under the same roof, carrying forward a tradition of connection and community that has existed for generations.

Our early opening hours make it easy to grab a freshly brewed coffee, espresso beverage, breakfast, or snack before starting your day. The location is also ideal for remote workers, students, and downtown professionals seeking a comfortable space to meet, work, or recharge.
Freshly Roasted Coffee Since 1997
