“Absolutely amazing, the food is top tier, the ambiance is perfect, a small welcoming place, but by far the service is outclassed by none, highly highly recommended. Ps the hot sauce is absolutely delicious, flavourful while still having a good kick.“

“We are a table of 9, and ordered tons and it was fantastic. Service is amazing and good came in a quick manner. Food is decent sizing and flavour is spectacular. And got some takeout cake from the bakery case, and it was nice and light and not too sweet.“

“A very cute coffee shop. It was pretty tight inside so on busier days you might not be able to sit. They have a nice patio space for when the weather gets warmer.I was mostly impressed by the pastries. A lot of attention and care went into making them and they were above what you’d get at your average cafe.“

“The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. All the cats are so chill, and love the affection and attention. The staff working the cafe were super friendly and great at explaining the process to enjoy the cats were treated with respect and safely. Also, the cafe itself had fantastic drinks! Although we cannot have a cat in our house due to a family member with allergies, it was great to support adoption by bringing the rest of my family to enjoy the kitties!“

“Came in today for a lunch date with my mom and we both absolutely love it here. We have decided that this is our new lunch spot for when she comes into town. The service is great!

“This review is for the baked goods. I have yet to eat in, but hope to do so in the near future.It has been a while since I had baked goods worthy of my babas. I forgot how good these could be when made well and with fresh ingredients. I tried some of the meat filled buns which were new for me and delicious also.Too bad your location is a bit out of the way for me. I can only enjoy these as an occasional treat.“

“Can I give ten stars for service!?! My mom and I felt like we were the only people in the busy restaurant. Our server took the time to get to know us and to make excellent suggestions. The food was, as always, delicious - thank you for taking an ordinary outing and elevating into something my mom and I will discuss for weeks.“

“Small and simple dinner esk cafe. Great teas and coffees, only 1 vegan option, porridge made with water. In fairness, it is a large bowl, it makes a solid breakfast. All other dishes seemed tasty and in large portions, compared to the price. The staff are polite and prompt. I recommend you try them out. Its a great gathering space for a small group friends and family“

“I don't leave perfect reviews, this place deserves it. We came for the 35$ all you can eat charcuterie buffet and it was a blast. The bar servers have such showmanship and so friendly especially Nahil. Stephano is the owner, he bakes all the bread (phenomenal!) in house, and ships in Italian products on a regular basis. The food was quality. Environment was tasteful and lovely. Service was beyond amazing (especially at the bar seats). Food presentation is eye candy and constantly stocked all evening.“

“Duuude this cafe is such a vibe! They have smooth music goin', they have a place to play board games, they have cool knick knacks from local artists, and their caffeinated drinks have a kick. Their snacks are smooth, delicious, and I would come back just for the vibes.“

“I always go here with my friends to debrief and study! It’s the perfect atmosphere to procrastinate, panic, and get work done. The service never fails to be memorable, fast, and professional. Students are able to receive a 5% discount on anything!!! Would recommend this place to anyone, just wish the place was bigger and the prices were a teeeenie bit lower. ?Also the croffles are worth losing a limb to.Dietary restrictions: I was able to order my coffee with lactaid milk thankthankyou“

“Hands down the best pretzel you can get in the city. Dirk is always friendly and greets you with a smile. I've had almost everything on their menu and it's all incredible. The cinnamon roll is amazing, but the breakfast pretzel is my go to.Go see Dirk and get yourself a breakfast pretzel. You'll thank me later.“

“This is the coffee shop I go out of my way to frequent, traveling all the way from Millwoods to visit. Great coffee and Chai, tasty treats, nice atmosphere and service. The giant Pride flag in the window encouraged me to come in even more often. Thank you for you support ?“

“I love The Colombian! I normally go to the OG location in Glenora, but tried this location out for the first time. I liked the booths, although they are a bit of a commodity, and the abundance of natural sunlight.My go tos are the vanilla latte and avocado toast - both were scrumptious here. I also really appreciate the design and the quality of their to go cups.Quality coffee and food. Nice chill, laid back but classy vibe. Service is friendly but minimal.“

“I have been here a few times now and everything I've tried from their menu has been fantastic - cappuccino, tascalate, hot chocolate, mocha, and of course churros. I will come back again and again so that I can try more things! They also have a nice selection of mugs and pottery for sale from local artists.“

“From 3 visits, each coffee was without question, exceptional. It’s in a slightly odd place but with a trip if you have high coffee standards because you’ll not be disappointed. There is lots of equipment and coffee roasted so recently that it may only have been roasted a couple of days ago. The staff when brewing coffee, seem to be in the zone, really enjoying their craft. I particularly appreciated the offering of single origin dark chocolate. I’ll definitely be back for more from these guys.“

“Great place for groups, lots of parking, and great value! There was friendly staff that also taught us out to play some games even when they were at the end of their shift!Some games I recommend for groups of 6: hues clues, clovers, camels up, marrakechWe just had some drinks I tried my friend’s apple cider and it was yummy! My other friend loves the beer they recommended!“

“This place has the hands down best donair in the city. What separates them from the rest is they toast their donairs in a panini press with some seasons added on the outside of the wrap. It's such a nice crunch and the flavour is amazing. I always stop by when im in the area.“

“Great little gem in the city. Wonderful staff, great selection of gifts and books and the coffee was the best I've had in a long time. As a person who's favorite thing to do is find and browse bookstore this one definitely is on the top of my list.“

“Blaster cakes have never disappointed me when it comes to taste, design, service & pricing of the cake. It’s my 4th year in a row I always get my cakes from blaster. I trust the blaster team to the extend where I text them to place an order for the cake and they just bring my cake idea to reality. They have always done wonders with the designs. I absolutely recommend everyone to order cake from this place. Many of few cakes they made for us“

“Me and my partner absolutely love coming here for our weekend caffeine fix. The staff are always sooo friendly and provide excellent service! We always get matcha and coffee and it’s great every time! If you are coming here as a group plan to utilize the outdoor seating in the back or get take-away as there isn’t a ton of indoor seating, but overall, it’s a nice mellow cafe that’s definitely worth a visit. :)“

“Good coffee, welcoming staff and there is usually a locally ran pop up style shop called Disenchanted with clothing, stationary, ect. that you can browse with your coffee.Also, Fawkes Coffee is located in the Great West Saddlery Building, so if you're into heritage buildings, it's a nice one to visit.Wheelchair accessibility: The indoor space is currently not wheelchair accessible“

“Best in class; it's class being classic diner fare. I sense this is the kind of place that families have gone to for generations, and locals have met up with friends weekly for years. Both the restaurant and the food are clean, and pleasant, and without pretense. The service I received was warm and attentive. If you're thinking Denny's or Smitty's, think again and come here. You won't regret it“

“Great busy premium Local Coffee Shop on 142 street & Stony Plain road in the West Block. Coffee is very full- bodied, almost nutty flavour and not too bitter. Awesome floor to ceiling windows inside, great patio area outside (dog friendly). 10/10!“

“Excellent drip coffee and spectacularly flavourful pour overs, the pickers project is a must try if you like fruit notes in your coffee.Ginger molasses cookies were soft and filling, they pair very nicely with the house coffee.The Colombian offers a lively and welcoming environment, I highly recommend this cafe if you're a fan of freshly roasted coffee and baked goods.Parking: 10 parking spots shared with the other 2 businesses at this building“

“Our company had booked this venue for a work event and it was a lot of fun for everyone. We had a lovely lunch and then got to play all kinds of different games with our coworkers. Also, lots of great drinks and music and a really nice atmosphere. The staff are also great, I recommend checking it out.“

“I stop in for some European Sweetness whenever I'm in the area. The cappuccinos are wonderful and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I'd go as far as to say they go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. It's also nice to be able to support a small local business. Just be aware they are closed Mondays. ?“

“What a great little out of the way spot. First time here staff were extremely friendly. Places absolutely packed as I was leaving. I noticed through all the people there was even a piano in the corner. Place was electric with all the conversations. I can't imagine it having live music as well! Looking forward to going “

“This is one of my favourite coffee shops in Edmonton! Not only is the coffee good but the sandwhiches are delicious! The staff here are all really nice and the place has very chill and relaxing vibes. I highly reccomend checking this place out.“

“One of my favorite cafes in the city! Amazing vibes, lots of tables and plug-ins. Great place to study/work.The coffees are on the pricey side because I think they roast their own beans? I wish there was a student discount! Their soups are also yummy and big portions.“

“Best hongkong milk tea- even beats the original in taiwan. Best bubble tea spot in Edmonton. Drinks are not too sweet. Owner lets you customize your drinks however you want. Food is good too. Don't let the area deter you from trying this spot. Super fast service.“

“I recommend Pact to anyone who is NOT celiac or gluten free due to allergies. But they are no longer a dedicated gluten free facility. Confirmed by restaurant themselves. "Unfortunately we are not completely gluten free anymore. after a high demand for non GF products, we have introduced a few to our cafe. We do take the sanitization of our work space very seriously."“

“This place is a gem. Stumbled upon the place once by accident and this has become my favourite spot for coffee. Their americano is so good and creamy. Its consistent every single time.The only thing that I am not happy about is their timings. They close too soon ?“

“This is a lovely spot for a cuppa coffee or a snack. The staff are very welcoming and always provide excellent customer service.It's the kind of local place that still has the nice charm of owners who care and wish to provide a nice experience to enjoy your cuppa with. Definitely not a Starbucks, but that's what makes this place shine like a star :P“

“Such a special place that the community is so lucky to have. Between the friendly staff, and the reasonable coffee prices compared to other "third wave" cafe's, I find myself coming time and time again. Also the courtyard in the summer is an awesome addition.“

“I want to express my gratitude to the Cam and his staff at Farrows Ritchie as they have went above and beyond when preparing my catering order as I was very precise and they accommodated my order that was submitted 24 hours before pick up. This has been our second order with Farrows and both times I was impressed with the service received.Dietary restrictions: Celiac options“

“One of my favorite places for bingsu for sure! Make sure to get the mango. Taro also satisfying. I have a feeling they are all great though. Love the corn flakes that are at the bottom. Adds great texture and balance to the dessert. Great place for social “

“You want to be here! Iconoclast is an excellent example of the vibrancy of the third wave coffee movement in Edmonton. 13 years ago I used to frequent Edmonton every weekend. However, I have not been in some time, and needed a great place for coffee and a snack to start my Saturday. Enter Iconoclast. This location in the historic Oliver building is something to behold. The space alone is one of the nicest places to sip a coffee in town. The historic building lives on and has been spruced up with an elegant modern feel. My latte was excellent and my wife opted for a really tasty quiche. While my kids and I had a tasty treat from Brio Bakery next door. The staff were very helpful and extremely courteous. This is a lovely space to take in. The room is bustling and the bar seating around the central bar is a great place to cozy up. The patio on is also a great spot to take in the morning sun. We loved our experience here and will definitely be back. Soon! You should head by too!“

“A friend and I went to Candid Coffee Roasters this morning and were so glad we did. I am a latte lover and had the best latte ever! Also a couple of stroopwafels. So yummy. (Be sure to have them lightly grilled.) Going back tomorrow with hubby.“

“Fantastic spot for lunch.Great variety and is our office favourite for team meeting takeout orders. Love the vegan options.Parking can be tricky sometimes is all.Wonderful ambiance and courteous staff.Vegetarian options: Vegan option available and are delicious.“

“I highly recommend visiting the wonderful Asian style Friends & Neighbours Cafe on Whyte Ave. There is much to offer. They have a great variety of items to select from on the menu. They offer food for both eaters of meat dishes and for vegans. The service is excellent and the atmosphere of the Cafe is cozy and delightful. There are artworks to view on the walls which are very fascinating to look at.“

“The service and staff is impeccable, the drinks are out of this world delicious, and so well-made. I will definitely be a frequent buyer to this location. I enjoy the Nutella latte. The coffee is incredible tastingDietary restrictions: Dairy alternatives“

“I went to the famous Farrow when I was in Edmonton to try their doughnuts. I have to tell you that they are delicious and worth the walk of a few km! my friend tried their cronuts and sandwiches and also loved them! The staff are really super nice and the vibe 10/10 - I recommend this “
