1. Save On Foods
This is my neighborhood grocery store and I come here quite often to get stuff to supplement my weekly basket. The veggies, as far as I've noticed, have been pretty good. They've got a very good collection of everything and their deli selection,…More »
2. Chapters
The Chapters on Whyte ave is my go to place for general bookshop browsing. Given that they've got such spacious interiors, it's certainly very inviting to come here and spend time scanning through the various sections of the shop.
The Starbucks…More »
3. Strathcona Registry Centre
It seems like a pointless activity to write a review about a registry - since they all seem the same. However, I found this one to be pretty bad. They're very well located since they're right on Whyte - which has a lot of bus routes. However, I've…More »
4. Soap Time Laundromat
Edmonton, AB T6E 6B8
(780) 439-3599
I've always had a thing for laundromats. It's a city thing, I think. Reading a book, listening to music and watching the cars drive by on 104th street. Soap Time is my neighborhood laundromat. I recently moved to a new apartment building which has…More »
5. Cally's Teas
Cally's Teas is a romantic journey for tea lovers into the mythical world of Cally. She has a lovely collection of teas, tea products and some other cuties, that are decorated in this incredibly childish, yet sophisticated manner on her "Wall of…More »
6. Chai Pani
Mmmm ... nice stuff, nice stuff! Chai pani recently opened on 105th street, right in front of the Chapters. It's a great location and they serve up a unique menu.
Chai pani in Hindi means "tea and snacks". Perhaps influenced by the British notion…More »
7. Shoppers Drug Mart
This 24/7 Shoppers really adds life to this rather dull block of Whyte ave. I hate to give a drug mart so much credit, but who doesn't like a 24/7 place and, frankly, Whyte Ave was seriously missing out on that!
The store itself is a spacious,…More »
8. Planet Organic Market
Reminds me of Whole foods in the US. It's a good place for any form of a healthy option one might be looking for. Organic fresh food is available for purchase. A small, but decent collection of cheese, fresh cream cheese, hummus and other such…More »
9. Bee-Bell Health Bakery
Beeeeee-bell is so gooood! :-). They've got it all ..... from brownies to wedding cakes, german ryes to multigrain bagels, cupcakes to fruitcakes, a variety of pies, cookies, muffins, pastries and more! The best part is... you can buy a tasty and…More »
10. K & K Foodliner
K & K certainly is another awesome ethnic grocery store, in this case selling all sorts of goodies from Germany and some Eastern European countries. They have delicious in-house sausages which is the main reason for me to come here. In fact they…More »
11. Old Strathcona Farmer's Market
Edmonton, AB T6E 5C3
(780) 439-1844
Categories:
Fruits & Veggies,
Farmers Market
Talk about doing something nice on a Saturday morning. The Old Strath. market is a lively market to spend your Sat. morning browsing through the various fresh vegetable shops, speciality goods (I bought chimichurri sauce today) and so on, whilst…More »
12. The Smile Zone
The Smile Zone provides state-of-the-art dental services with a large space, spanning perhaps 8 dental "workstations". The staff are friends and the dental hygienists are knowledgeable and easily approachable.
They are probably a great place to get…More »
13. Running Room
Running Room is an awesome store for people who are looking for high quality athletic goods, from shoes to clothing and wrist bands etc. I've been to this location a few times and love the staff. They're really friends and approachable and know a…More »
14. Scotiabank
I certainly need to update my review of Scotiabank! I'm a fan. Oh yes, I am. So, the disappointments felt in my first review (note: reviewed 7 months ago) were registered online by the scotiabank twitter account. Ever since that, I've noticed a…More »

15. Earth's General Store
If there's anyone who tells you not to check this place out, they'd have to be checked into a mental clinic!
You don't have to be a locavore.
You don't have to be a crazy, organic geek.
You don't have to believe in the green revolution.
You don't…More »
16. Shoppers Drug Mart
I'm glad that my neighborhood Shoppers now has a post office inside it. I have a fondness for Shoppers Drug Mart and definitely go here once every six weeks or so. This particular branch is nice and spacious with a decent sampling of everything…More »
17. Money Mart
Edmonton, AB T6E 1Z3
(780) 433-8073
This is my neighborhood Western Union. For people who don't know already, Money Marts do Western Union transfers. I use this service every now and then to send and receive money.
This particular Money Mart is okay. I'd have preferred if things…More »
18. Wunderbar Hofbrauhaus
Don't get me wrong here, I do love coming to the Wünderbar. It's a terrific little joint that has a great selection of bottled beers and a decent selection of beers on tap. I just find this space a little too small for my liking. They have live…More »
19. The Black Dog Freehouse
Black Dog has a lot of good things about it. The music is decent here for a pub, a tad on the louder side I guess - but I'm used to that as a standard feature nowadays. A decent selection of drinks with regular beers on tap and a few international…More »
20. Whyte Ave Tailors Shop
I love the tailoring services out here! Affordable yet masterfully done. I'm glad to have good services in my neighborhood! Given my body's aspect ratio, it's clear that clothes aren't made to fit me :D In particular, I always need to alter…More »
21. Fitness Town
Fitness town is a great find in the Strathcona neighborhood, for fitness equipment. They mostly sell massage balls, dumbbells, exercise machines, treadmills etc. Of course, it's not the kind of store you'd come to often, but I really like that the…More »
22. Hundred Bar Kitchen
Bang! $5 for delicious burgers that are served out in an alley behind Hundred Bar and Kitchen. With smells of burning fat and cold air flowing through the narrow aisle, alley burger has the bare feel of high quality city living.
An interesting…More »

Hundred is a decent place for an expensive cocktail evening. Unfortunately, the hybrid lounge-fine… Read more »
23. Ets Edmonton Transit System
ETS is a great service and I really love making use of it whenever I can. Now my 3 stars might be surprising but it comes from my expectations for improvement. I'm not going to go off on a rant about how expensive the tickets are and how poorly…More »
24. Cafe Coral de Cuba
I'm glad that this block of Whyte ave has somehow remained primarily small business driven. It's probably that last beacon of hope! Coral de Cuba recently opened and I had to opportunity to make it with a few friends, amongst which was my friend…More »
25. Noorish Cafe
I remember driving by Noorish on their grand opening night and was amazed to see so many people waiting to get in. I didn't really go in that night, but definitely had to pay them a visit soon after. Given that Noorish is exactly 3 blocks from my…More »
26. Noorish Yoga
I've been conflicted between a 3 and a 4 star for this yoga studio. "Yay! I'm a fan." certainly fits the bill for me, but there are so many things that need improvement. The yoga space is a decent sized room that can hold up to 25 mats. It's yet…More »
27. Sugar Swing Dance Club
If you're interested in taking a peek into the yesteryears roughly once a week, Sugar Swing is right up your alley! I've been for two of their dance events and have thoroughly enjoyed them. You pay a nominal fee of about $10 which is really pretty…More »
28. 7-Eleven Food Stores
We've always got to know where our neighborhood gas pump is. This is mine. I have no real complaints about this gas station except for the fact that it's hard to get into when driving east on 76th ave. There's always a car or truck or trailer…More »
