District Coffee Co
This cafe was started by local small-space hospitality visionary Nate Box. District’s space was recently expanded and now the daytime cafe and bakeshop stays open late and turns into a cool spot to grab wine and small eats at night.
Little Brick
Little Brick brought history back to life in an old brick house tucked away in Riverdale. This adorable coffee shop serves up delicious brunch and lunch items, and has one of the best little patios in the city.
DOSC
Step into the first half of downtown’s DOSC and you’ll find yourself in the Sober Cat Cafe. DOSC’s space features a cafe, serving Rogue Wave coffee, a cocktail bar and a steakhouse. Stop by in the morning for a coffee and return in the evening for a steak and sophisticated cocktail.
Credo
Credo is a set of sibling coffee shops well-known amongst locals for their quality coffee (and London Fogs for those non-coffee folks). Each cup of Credo coffee is filled with feel-good flavour. Their coffee is direct trade, ensuring their growers are paid 25% higher rates than fair trade prices.
Lock Stock Coffee
At Lock Stock, espresso is pulled with care, savoury biscuits are baked fresh and heated to order, and English muffins are fried daily for a variety of sandwiches, making them a necessary stop when in the downtown neighbourhood.
Remedy Cafe
Remedy Cafe is one part Indian and Pakistani restaurant, one part coffee bar. If the hit TV show ‘Friends’ was filmed in Edmonton, the cast would gather daily at the Jasper Avenue location. Their legendary house-made chai pairs well with either a sabhji masala or butter chicken wrap.
Coffee Bureau
Jasper Avenue’s Coffee Bureau features all kinds of shine: from the 1950s Italian brass chandelier and fancy customized Izzo espresso machine to the bright smiles of husband and wife owners. Coffee Bureau serves locally roasted Ace Coffee and Steven Smith teas alongside freshly baked cookies, muffins, croissants and gluten-free nibbles.
Brew+Bloom
Fancy some fresh flowers? Brew+Bloom is Edmonton’s first floral café and boutique. It’s a great place to grab a bite or drink to go or dine-in with great company in a relaxing floral atmosphere. Plus, it’s a great spot to snap some highly instagrammable photos.
Rosewood Foods
Rosewood Foods is a local dinette serving handmade baked goods, breakfast, lunch and best of all…coffee! They also create beautiful cakes that can be made using gluten free or vegan ingredients. Stop by for a cuppa joe on your way to work, or get your breakfast fill with dishes like their cornbread french toast (with bacon, avocado, paprika maple & crushed chili).
The Grizzlar Coffee & Records
