I can’t even begin to explain how yummy and awesome this place is! The 519 is my ultimate comfort food. It is never a bad idea to grab something from pressed for time paninis!

I was in Guelph for a business meeting in the morning and didn't get a chance to have breakfast before I left. My meeting was done around 10:45 so I was looking for something to eat afterwards and settled on this establishment based on the excellent online reviews. I'm glad I did! Although it was early they were open. I ordered the whiskey blues panini which is brisket, onions, blue cheese and arugula - not a mix of flavors for everybody but if you like blue cheese, you'll love this option. The person working there who I assume was one of the owners, was absolutely delightful, gave me suggestions on the menu, and gave me a genuine thank you for my business. The Panini itself was awesome. The mix of flavours worked very well together and for the price of $13 I thought it was pretty good value. It wasn't huge, I probably could have had another half, but I thought the price was fair. Next time I'm in town I will certainly stop by again and try another option, not because my first one wasn't good, but because there are three or four other ones that peak my interest as well. It would be nice to have a couple tables in there to sit down and eat at, but they are take out only unfortunately.

Always an amazing experience as soon as you walk in the door. You are always acknowledged and greeted so kindly, and that’s just the beginning of the great visit. The atmosphere is wonderful, clean and always smells delicious. The menu has a wide range that can suit everyone (I am a huge fan of club 519 since they opened but also have tried the specials and I’ve never been disappointed) & they’ve got lots of adds to make the meal even better! One stop shop for your hunger. The service is impeccable and I would 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a great lunch. The ONLY thing I could say negative is that they aren’t open on weekends (so I can eat more) Come out and support lovely women and a great local business!

Came for lunch for the first time having heard wonderful reviews. The service was friendly and welcoming, they answered my questions and offered suggestions. The soup was so yummy! And they have different sizes available. I bought the vegetarian panini and it was so delicious. They also offered to sub tofu for any of the meats. Definitely recommended and will be back again.

We are trying so hard not to make panini fridays a tradition but the ladies running this shop sure are making it difficult!! These paninis are the express train to flavour town - salt fat acid heat, the four cornerstones of amazing food are always present in every panini. I love how there is so much consideration for texture and the eating experience - I never make a mess and my fingers stay clean! The tomato soup pairing is just perfect - tangy and creamy, a must try if you come. The weekly special is always something we look forward to, always some cool flavour combinations to try! Dee and Jules always provide the best customer service - they remember customers’ names and even which suggestion a customer put on their feedback board! Highly recommend taking the time to pre-order and pick up lunch from here, definitely worth it!

The ladies who run this place are super nice and friendly, I've noticed they even know their regulars' names and order. The food is amazing, I almost always get the panini of the week since it keeps things new and interesting, but even their regular menu is great. I've never had a bad experience in the several months I've been coming and will continue to go here.

I ordered the panini of the week for lunch. The service was incredibly friendly, informative, personable, and professional. I was impressed with the flavour and preparation of the panini. It was crispy without losing moisture. They were happy to make adjustments to better suit my taste. Their hot sauce is amazing. I recommend trying Pressed For Time Paninis.

There's a reason this place has a perfect 5-star rating with over 130 reviews. I actually stumbled into this place as a result of an art project. My opinion of paninis has drastically changed from a "a grilled wrap I guess" to "the peak of human ingenuity - millions of years of evolution resulting in the perfect combination of practical and delicious". I ordered their weekly special, Butternut Squash My Dreams. Do not be fooled by it's size. This panini is extremely filling and satisfying. But it tastes so good you'll want more despite physically not having room in your body. The staff are so so nice and friendly and the interior is very cozy and inviting. I seriously regret not knowing about this place earlier as I've missed out on so many weekly specials, but at least I have all the future specials to look forward to!

While visiting Guelph on the weekend we stoped for lunch in the downtown area. The options of paninis was very unique and healthy. The service was friendly and fast. Paninis were made to order, warm and delicious. Very satisfying. We had the Whiskey Blues, Gochujang and the daily special. Drink options were also interesting with some healthy options. They are take-out & delivery only. I wish we had something similar in my town.

I stopped by in May 2024 for a light lunch and was glad I did. I felt quickly welcome as I decided what to order, which ended up being a gently spiced gochujang grilled wrap Panini which was fresh and full of flavour. Definitely worth trying if you want a fresh and flavorful alternative to some of the usual sandwich places.

Easily one of the best sandwiches in the province. Incredibly friendly and passionate staff. House made ingredients, quick service, and a gorgeous shop make this the only place you should be getting your lunch from. Anyone rating less than a 5 just doesn t enjoy life, and in the event of a disaster this shop should be protected at all costs.

It doesnt matter what kind of day, week or month youre having, youll always leave this panini palace with a smile on your face and a stomach full of happiness / joy. I didnt know what a panini was before pressed for time paninis opened, and now I dream about paninis. Enrich your life and soul and grab a panini.

Pressed for time paninis is Guelphs (not so hidden) gem. The owners are phenomenal, extremely friendly and even if I haven t ordered in a month, they still remember my name! My favourite panini is the try and fail, but never fail to Thai the GOAT and whiskey blues . If you need a hearty, somewhat guilt-free lunch- this is your place.

★★★★★

I really cant emphasize enough how incredible this place is. Its not only my first choice when I want to treat myself for lunch; its my ONLY choice! Whatever mood I am in, there is always a panini for me. Ive always been a picky eater, but a lot of these artistically crafted paninis are very intriguing; they have definitely helped expand my palate! Part of my Monday routine is to check on the Panini of the Week to see if its something I must try! Thanks for bringing such great flavour and fun to downtown Guelph, Pressed For Time Paninis! :)

A coffee/breakfast place that only opens at 9 AM?! I have attempted to get coffee there 8:55 and they literally sent me home because it was not 9 o clock yet (in a very rainy day). Besides that, they are rude and completely lack sensitivity towards their customers. Coffee is not even the best in town.

Ok. Im going to address something not said. Sure its delicious. Sure the owners are great. Sure its local. But 12$ for a small sandwich meal? The average person cant afford this in these times. And ya I get we are in Canada ($$$$). The overhead must be huge to run a business.

They have very healthy options to choose from, with the freshest vegetables and amazing sauces.

Their paninis look good and taste good. It is made with care, and they clearly put an effort into making their ingredients and take their time. I also wanted to get a jar of one of their dressings, and she was kind enough to give me a little taste of it before I purchased it. Overall, Id come back for a bite. However, if youre in a rush, maybe not the best place to stop by. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available. Dietary restrictions: Youre able to ask for substitutions. Parking: Free street parking available. However, depended on the time of the day it may be hard to find a spot.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. My expectation was probably very biased coming from Europe. I was expecting a Panini made with bread, like in Italy. This location uses tortillas as the stuff made me aware. I had the WHISKEY BLUES: balsamic braised brisket, caramelized onions, blue cheese, arugula, whiskey mustard. Not bad, but not what I expected.

So first time here. Got a panini to go. It was absolutely delicious, but it cost me almost $14! It was the size of a sandwich (paninis are quite flat). But I think for what you get its WAY overpriced! It could at least come with a drink and side for that price. Probably wont order from here again. Its unfortunate, but I cant justify spending that much for a panini.

Ive been meaning to try this place for ages and finally did this week. OMG. I got the Club 519 (gluten free!! Thank you!!), walked across the street to eat it by the fountain, and promptly went into what I can only describe as a pleasure-stupor. My lunch date asked me a question and I just shook my head. No talking. All attention was on on the warm panini in my reverent hands. I have never encountered a more delicious sandwich. I loudly enthused about it intermittently for the rest of the day. Jules, youre an artist. I cant wait to go back.

Great customer service, paninis, homemade hotsauce, and overall atmosphere. Felt welcomed by the owners. Will be coming back between classes for sure. These are the few takeouts that don t disappoint with their hotsauce, it s actually hot

Food was good. Wish they had option to serve the Paninis in actual slices of breads and not just in wraps? Server was a bit loud & snarky, considering they ask for tips for take out order.

I agree with a previous reviewer that described the Paninis as the peak of human ingenuity. They do NOT sell smoothies here.

How can a panini be THIS good? I have asked myself this many times. And then, each time I visit the kind and wonderful duo at Pressed for Time, I am reminded: these two are seriously good cooks, wrapping up all of their skills and love in a absurdly delicious panini. Thanks Panini Pals!

Jules and Dee are awesome and their culinary creativity means new and different paninis every week! These ladies take pride in their work, warmly welcome their patrons, and always do their best to use local ingredients and support other small business through their shop. If they have any of their hot sauce available, grab a bottle- it s great on anything.

My partner and I get lunch from here at least once a week... at first it was the incredibly clever puns that drew us in, but now its a weekly staple to try each one of their newest panini creations/specials! Each week I order the special for my partner and his reaction EVERY time is... ok, now THIS is the best one theyve ever come up with. Favourite by far So, somehow these two wonderful humans continue to raise the bar each week and sling out incredibly tasty and creative paninis. How is that possible?!? I think their energy and enthusiasm is that special ingredient that makes these delicious bundles of wrapped joy a highlight of our work week. Truly a hidden gem when it comes to Guelph eats and a must try!

Legitimately my husband and Is favourite lunch spot ever. Weve been ordering regularly for a few months, at least once a week, and have not once been disappointed. Not only are the paninis incredible (get the Club 519 its insane) but D & J are the SWEETEST people ever. They deserve all the success their business is coming by and more. If youve only ordered via Uber, try stopping by sometime - their shop is so cute! Plus you get to meet the gals face to face, and their energy is infections. 10/10, will be a client for life.

Pressed for Time is one of Guelph s greatest treasures. Their paninis are creative, flavourful, and reasonably priced (and by reasonably priced, I mean an absolute steal). The quality of the ingredients they use and the creativity in how they use them is beyond impressive every panini is a flavour bomb with great texture and balance. It s easy to tell how much thought, love, and care is placed into the food (and the puns). Every panini is like a warm hug in sandwich form. We ve tried just about everything on the menu and it is all phenomenal! Never miss the specials and buy a bottle of the hot sauce for home and use it in small doses because it packs a punch. The service is also 100000000/10 wonderful, always kind and welcoming!
