I became the hero of my New Year's Eve party when I showed up with mini cupcakes from Flirt! Baked fresh that morning, I picked up a combo pack with a dozen minis, with flavours like red velvet and double chocolate. (It's just too bad I didn't stop…More »
Possibly my favourite coffee shop in the city. Big selection of baked goods - scones, muffins, cookies - that aren't necessarily good for you, but good to eat! Take your coffee and treat to the table of your choice, too. It's usually busy, but it's…More »
If I could, I would give 10 stars to Cactus Club.
My first time at CC for dinner, and I was left with my jaw on the floor. Even without a reservation, the staff jumped on us to get our table of seven into the restaurant. Every staff member I…More »
A neat, Italian-style bistro with typical Italian fare: for a lighter meal, try a salad, soup, or panini. I had the caesar salad, and although I wish I had asked for the dressing on the side (it was too thick and goopy for my tastes), it was still a…More »

I usually visit Highlevel when all my other favourite cafes in the area are full, then think to myself, why is this place not my go-to?
The food is top notch. (Especially that Skor cheesecake). The servers are really nice and helpful. And the…More »

I was in a pinch, needing a some kind of "thank you" for some friends, when Purdy's bright purple sign called to me like a beacon.
Although I wish they hadn't been in Christmas wrapping, the chocolate sets I picked up were very pretty, and I'm sure…More »
Da Capo is a cute, upscale little cafe located in the Garneau area. It's a great place for a date, a pizza with friends, or a summer gelato.
Speaking of which -- pistachio gelato? Be still, my heart! I think I found a new favourite food in Edmonton!

Plenty of bike parking and conveniently located just a block from the University of Alberta. The lattes here are priced higher-than-average ($5!), but they're worth it!
Make sure to try the pizza for a yummy lunch (I recommend the spinach and feta),…More »

Just visited Sugarbowl for a dinner/dessert night out with friends, and I could NOT believe we were able to get a table on a Saturday night. Whether for breakfast, dinner, lunch, or late night drinks, a table at the Sugarbowl is hard to come by…More »
I stopped by Remedy Cafe for a late-night snack and coffee with a friend. The crowd is hip and young - a lot of university students finishing papers (free wi-fi!) and chatting philosophy. It's a great place to do some people watching.
I tried a vegan…More »
Bonus points for the free parking (lots of it) and outdoor seating at this S-Bux location just outside of Edmonton. I was surprised at how little seating there was, because it's a medium-sized coffee shop, but they do have some comfy couch-style…More »
This might just be my favourite Second Cup in the Edmonton area (but as a St. Albert girl born and raised, I might just be biased)!
The staff here are great, and always try to get through multiple customers in the line-up at a time. The drinks come…More »
Mama Mia! One of the only fast-food style pasta places in town. Their system is so easy! Choose a style of noodle, choose a sauce (usually they have meat or alfredo - I would recommend meat), and if you would like, add a side of garlic bread of a…More »
I walk by Death By Chocolate all the time. Whenever I park on Calgary Trail and walk to Block 1912 (which is often), I pass Death By Chocolate and fondly remember that one time I ate really good cheesecake here for a friend's birthday.
I was making my…More »
After years of tasting Duchess at various events 'round town, I finally dragged my sweet-loving feet over to the 124th street location for my favourite Office Hours yet.
The staff were so accomodating for our big group and even turned a blue…More »
Chianti was never somewhere I'd been dying to go (despite my solid addiction to pasta) but my pals and I were carb-hungry and in the Old Strathcona area so it was off to Chianti's (as it is colloquially known - where did that 's come from?) we went.

Finally, USA-style froyo right in my own backyard! I love frozen yogurt more than ice cream. More than gelato, more than anything. And while the mix-y style is cool, it's awesome to have the Pinkberry style now in yeg.
I scored a cup of low-fat…More »
The nanaimo bar was the bizzomb. I should probably try the pie, since that is what they're famous for, but I don't know if I'll be able to come back here and not order the nanaimo bar. Like, dang.
I just stopped in here with some time to kill on my…More »
After eating a very healthy lunch across the plaza at The Chopped Leaf, my tastebuds were tingling for a treat. I glanced to my right, and what did I see, but a tiny but adorable chocolate shoppe.
It's one glass case of several dozen chocolate types…More »
I've found my new favourite coffee shop in the city, I think. Just maybe.
Swung by last weekend for a morning date with Sarah J. Now, after reading this review, you can't say I didn't warn you when I tell you that it might be awfully tricky to find a…More »
After about 5 hours on the road from Calgary (which included a pit stop to our puppy breeder friends, which, let's be honest, was a pretty big part of the trip), we needed food really, really badly. And gas. Next stop: Olds! We figured there had to…More »
I grew up in St. Albert, and while I go back frequently (usually every week or so), my trips are usually only to my parents' place (my childhood home!) and back home again.
Yesterday, I had an appointment with my eye doctor, the same one I've been…More »
I had plans for a tea date with my bestie when we both realized we were starving. What were we thinking, anyway, getting tea at noon on a Sunday? Clearly what we wanted was pizza. So pizza we had!
Famoso wasn't that busy, surprisingly. Well, busy but…More »
I had walked past Big City many a time, curious about this new cupcake joint in time. So many, in fact, that it's not so new anymore. But after a healthy of lunch of only salad, I was going crazy for a calorie indulgence. Walking through City Centre…More »
What can I say? There's no bigger fan of ice cream than me. The idea of ice cream mixed with mixins is especially intriguing. But for all its positives, this location of the Marble Slab chain had terrible, horrible service when I visited.
there's…More »
After a disappointing round of dim sum, we needed something to satisfy our sweet tooth and make up for a lost meal opportunity. Just next door sits the homely Hong Kong Bakery, hidden in a corner of a strip mall along busy Gateway Boulevard.
The place…More »
If I have to chain it, I take my bizness to Second Cup. Yep, it's a big company, but at least I know I'm supporting Canadian - yay!
I've found myself at this SC quite a few times. They've got very convenient (early and late) hours, and it's easy to…More »
It's nothing fancy, just an unassuming lil ol' candy shop. Grab a bag and start filling 'er up. There's one row of slightly fancier candy, mostly chocolate, but the other 4 or 5 rows are all the same price - I believe it was around $2 per 100 g.
I…More »
I'm so thrilled to have found this neat little out of the way cafe! I was going for lunch with a friend and it's in her neighbourhood, so she had suggested. I had never been, so I was looking forward to something new to Yelp about!
Once you find it,…More »
I've said it before, of course, I'll say it again. I love our local cafes. But when almost every local biz downtown shuts down by 8 PM, where's a girl and her book club supposed to meet?
Although I think it's ridiculous that there are two other Second…More »
I was so nervous about the opening of a new Remedy. My beloved Remedy. Quirky, tasty Remedy, location of my first date with my husband and many, many cake dates with friends over the years, where you always leave smelling like butter chicken (mmm,…More »

I think I've found a new favourite restaurant, and it's all thanks to the awesome Edmonton yelpers! A talk thread spawned a trip to this place for one yelper, which in turned led to more and more visits, and eventually, a UYE!

If you love bread and cocoa, you'll love....Bread And Cocoa. (Womp womp.) No, but for reals - I make it a point to stop by this place every single time I'm in SF. It reminds me a lot of one of my favourite cafes back home but with an even better…More »
Oh my gosh! This place will change your life, trust me. It's a small cafe hidden in Oliver - I actually drove right past it the first time I was trying to find it. But lucky for me, I spotted it the second time 'round.
A few tables here. It's mostly…More »
My first time in Sherwood Park in over a year, and I only had a half hour to get an impression of the city before a meeting. So naturally, I went for a burger and a cupcake.
It's a little shop, nothing remarkable, but the ladies are so sweet and…More »
