Mmmmmm.... I love this place, and I love that they make their own vanilla for the lattes, which my fave drink here! I have yet to try the food but from what I've heard it is delish! My only wish is that Cafe Haven wasn't all the way in Sherwood Park as I definitely do not make it out very often to enjoy this sweet cafe spot!

I went there on Wednesday to buy "Jacek" specialty chocolates. They were sold out.
I went back Saturday. Who the heck closes at 5:00pm??????? Further reasons to hate Sherwood Park. -

Although, I'm not a coffee-drinker (I know, I know, there's something wrong with me... two university degrees and you don't drink coffee???? FREAK!), I do enjoy my Saturday morning visits to Cafe Haven.
My girlfriend deserves credit for discovering this place after we moved to Sherwood Park. Since we' discovered it, it has become a one of the places we visit most frequently.
Now, since I don't drink coffee, I wont' be commenting on that. Rather I can speak, semi-authoritatively, on their pastries. First and foremost is their cinnamon buns. They are quite good, ranking 2nd on my list in the Edmonton area. They are most and flavourful, with a good dough and a fair bit of gooeyness. They are also a decent size, with one of them pretty much filling me up for a breakfast meal.
As for the other tasty treats, I've sampled their date squares (quite tasty) and a few other assorted squares (rhubarb squares jump out to me as being quite tasty). I've also enjoyed a few of their sandwiches and some of their brunch items. All have been very good and have the added bonus of using many local ingredients.
Even though I'm not a coffee guy, I still do enjoy warm beverages and Cafe Haven has much for those that are coffeephobic. I'm quite fond of their Chai Lattes, although I prefer it half-sweet. They also have a nice selection of loose teas.
A quick comment on the decor, if I may. The shop is obviously a converted bank (as evidenced by the vault near the back), which has been decorated with a nice mix of furniture. What stands out most (and is most appealing) is the range of artwork on display. Cafe Haven appears to regularly change their artwork by featuring a new, local artist every so often. It's a nice change and the artwork, thus far, has been fantastic!
In closing, this little Cafe deserves its 5-star rating, if not for some of the best cinnamon buns in Edmonton (or Sherwood Park for that matter), but for the ambiance and enjoyment so many get from this establishment!Listed in: Edmonton's (and Area) Best…

I always thought Sherwood Park was a wasteland of franchises. Cafe Haven proves this wrong. What can I say other than WOW. Stumptown coffee makes a mean and potent espresso that kick-started my day. The cinnamon bun was among the best I've ever had in my life (but don't tell my grandma that). The old bank vault at the back of the room is classy and intriguing. I can't wait to go back. What an inspired break from all the cookie-cutter businesses out there.

Cafe Haven is another one of those cafes in Edmonton that believes in local sourced ingredients. Although strangely located in a strip mall *and in Sherwood park, for those who don't have cars*, the menu they serve up is very inviting and tasty. The ambience is sort-of library-ish/reading roomish. It's really a random collection of furniture. Not expensive or jazzy looking. Just some combination that fits well. But, having said that, it feels very comfortable in there. Almost like visiting your aunt's place on the weekend.
The coffee is one of the big reasons they stand out. They use Transcend coffee beans and serve masterful cups of espresso based drinks. For the true coffee connoisseur, they also serve a french press coffee which is delightfully served with a timer by its side. When the timer beeps, you've got to slowly push the plunger down, thereby extracting the holy nectar of coffee.
Their brunch menu (till 2 p.m. on weekends) changes every week and their weekly menus also change regularly thus giving the true feeling of locally sourced food. I like this aspect of the café a lot because you never know what the menu is going to be. Sure, at times it feels good to go to a familiar place where you know exactly what your favorite item on the menu is. But once in a while, a place like Cafe Haven just feels great!
They have live shows on Thursday evenings (which I haven't been for, but have heard good things of). Must try this local, little joint in Sherwood park. Perfect stopover for those eastbound or simply going to the Elk park.Comment from MICHAEL H. of Cafe Haven 3/22/2011

When I think of cafes in Edmonton (and surrounding areas) I think of stale baked goods and sloppy menus. Cafe Haven is neither of these things.
In a strip mall (what isn't in this city?) located in the remains of an old bank, there are touches of comfort all over, in the chairs, lamps and other furniture. It just feels so cozy.
Haven offers Transcend roasted coffee beans and latte art as well as carefully made tea lattes. And delicious sandwiches, soups, salads and even brunch. There are some baked goods, like pumpkin pie and cinnamon buns as well.
They're so much more, though! Their menus change seasonally, and features local products and organic choices. There is a new brunch offering every weekend. They're even licensed and feature music and spoken word evenings.
You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't spin by to check this place out next time you're in Sherwood Park. I don't find myself in in the Park that often, but if I lived there, this would be my go to lunch and meeting spot. -

Cafe Haven is really impressive. Most cafe's are just coffee and lack quality in every aspect but Cafe Haven does not let you down.
In addition to their great coffee, they have a good menu that offers sandwiches, salads and dessert. Some of the items don't even look like cafe food, they come across as restaurant caliber.
It's a good meeting spot for friends and a good place to grab lunch. If you don't feel like coffee it's okay because they have beer as well. -

This place is like...my other office! It's a great place to do some quiet reading. A great place to bring a client. An excellent place to enjoy some evening entertainment or a good old story slam. And the coffee...well...it's hard to beat! The staff are friendly and creative! I absolutely love dropping in!!!

An adorable little coffee house, with lunch items and dessert as well! I love the atmopshere of it! All different types of tables, lamps, chairs etc. Nothing matches but it makes it so cozy! This is the place to relax and catch up with a friend, or do a business meeting, etc. Fabuolous place with great food and coffee!

I wanted to like Cafe Haven, I really did but I was sadly disappointed with both the food and the service. Ordered ham and eggs how hard is that to mess up? Sadly the ham looked like it had been dragged out of a sandwich, the potatoes were cooked in some type of cumin slurry and only the coffee saved the meal. Asked a staff member for hot sauce and they barked at me to look on other tables. Very sad indeed.

Very impressed. Great service and fantastic food. Found this place via Transcend Coffee on Twitter. If you're a Transcend fan, then you'll love Cafe Haven.
