These coffee bars and roastery (with two locations in Guelph) have garnered a cult following with the Royal City’s laid- back, progressive-bohemian set. And for good reason: Planet Bean is owned and operated by a worker co-operative, and showcases independent, fairtrade coffee producers from around the world. Planet Bean serves a mean cuppa, along with oh-so-delectable snacks.
