Cafe Guido is a nice community cafe in the middle of Port Hardy. We liked it because it was, more or less, the only cafe in this little town that felt that a contemporary cafe. It served cafe fare that was more than just dodgy looking sandwiches, it has a nice warm ambiance inside, plus it has a bookshop, gift shop and community art centre to boot.
The first thing we had there was a slice of vanilla cheesecake. I'm not a fan of the baked cheesecake - - I much prefer the refrigerator/mousse style cheesecake as they're less claggy in texture. This was smooth and silky with a nice thin crumbly base.
I also had a fruit smoothie that unfortunately was a bit more icy than I would have liked.
While the Lawyer opted for a big cup of coffee.
At our next visit, we tried out their soups. It was one reasonable and one so-so. The reasonable one was the potato soup - thick and creamy and nicely seasoned.
The so-so was the red Thai curry soup. We only picked this just so we had a different flavour to try. It was chunky and tasted like curry but wasn't crazy spicy. But I just can't get my head around a curry being made into soup.
The cafe is popular with tourists and locals alike.
Verdict: we liked it.
Overall
A nice cafe. It's a great relaxing place to kick back. Service is friendly and you can just while the time away here - the staff don't mind and seem to encourage it. Plus, there's plenty of things to look at while you're there.
