Nice place on the Guilford green for coffee, sandwiches, and specialty foods. Small town vibe, friendly staff, seating available at a few tables indoors.

A very nice place for a cup of coffee and a chat. Pastries and sandwiches are pretty good, the atmosphere is lively and pleasant. A downside is that there are very few tables so in cold weather you're likely to get stuck standing. (In summer you can sit on the beautiful green across the street.)

This place is awesome. Great specialty foods and bakery. If they have the almond-croissant bread pudding-grab it! Staff and service consistently good.

My wife and I ordered an iced latte, cappuccino, and a corn muffin. The muffin was excellent! Sticky, sweet and - and I know everyone hates this word - moist.The iced latte was good, though a bit weak. My cappuccino was good as well. I'm a specialty coffee professional, though, so personally I wish the new standard of smaller "traditional" cappuccino sizes were the standard in this area as well. I also wish the milk was aerated, "wet" with microfoam, and that the baristas presented beverages with art.After our treats I asked Dean at the counter to suggest whole bean coffee. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the unique experience Cilantro provides. I've encountered plenty of hipster baristas who give off "I don't care" vibes, and Dean was not that. I'm glad to have spoken to him and I'm excited to try the bag of coffee I purchased.Overall this is a really cool shop with great baked goods and a laid back atmosphere that is worth a visit.

The pumpkin spice latte was perfect. Not too sweet and hit all the right flavors. Really enjoyed the curried chicken salad and the overall vibe. The barista was kind and answered all my questions too. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in Guilford!

Good grab and go items from paninis to wraps to salads. Nice selection of baked goods too. I really like the interiors here.

Very tasty food. They just had two ladies working and you could tell they were DONE. LOL. but friendly. We are outside due to having our dog with us. There is a nice park across the street that could be made into a nice picnic spot.Parking: Street parking only

The baked goods in this place all look unusually good. Like, truly top notch. One star removed because the drip coffee was weak.
