1. Transcend Coffee
I've become a regular at this Transcend over the last six months or so, so much so that a couple of the staff know that my favorite drink is the Flat White. Of course, my morning cup still remains the clover coffee and I always spend a couple of…More »

Transcend has a very specific goal - serve a masterful cup of coffee. The prices are about a dollar… Read more »
2. Flirt Cupcakes
Although I haven't really been a huge cupcake kinda a guy, just the three or four cupcakes that I've had at Flirt has converted me. No more conversion practices need to be adopted - I'm a FAN!
From now on, whenever I want to flirt with myself, I'll…More »
3. The Organic Box
The Organic box is a grocery box delivery system with an emphasis on delivering organic groceries. They strive hard to deliver local produce, however in winter that becomes a difficulty. Yet, they manage to stick to local dairy & eggs which is…More »
4. City Market
If it's summer - better get your ass down to the City Market!! I unequivocally proclaim that the City Market is better than the Strathcona Farmers' market in the short-lived warm months that people out here call summer.
I have no clue why I haven't…More »
5. Edmonton Heritage Festival
Quick Tip: Come in a big group, that way you can sample a lot without getting full!
I really like the Heritage festival. it's this unique event that happens over three days at the Hawrelak Park and exhibits a variety of cultures from the Fiji islands…More »
6. 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 »
7. Cafe Haven
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.…More »
8. Blue Plate Diner
Oh Blue Plate! What a lovely place!
Blue Plate Diner is an artsy diner that serves up an exciting menu. I haven't had brunch/breakfast out here but have been out for dinner and was quite impressed!
I like that the menu has a modern twist to it,…More »
9. Paddy's International Cheese Market
Paddy's cheese shop is a high standard cheese store that offers a great variety of cheese. They've got cheeses from France, England, Holland, Denmark, Canada (of course!) and more. I would suggest visiting this place if you're planning a wine and…More »
10. Everything Cheese
I've got to say that Edmonton has a lot of passionate people in various streams of life. Stemming from a passion for cheese perfection, Everything Cheese recently opened (I believe 2 months back) in the 53rd ave exit area off Whitemud. Of course, I…More »
11. d'Lish Urban Kitchen & Wine Bar - CLOSED
D'Lish is an elegant & modern wine & tapas bar that serves a unique menu. Although tapas are originally a spanish idea, the theme of the menu shows phenomenal adaptation. Unlike other modern loungey places that have a great décor and music serving…More »
12. Italian Centre Shop South
I guess, the bakery section is pretty good too, as well as the cafe. Try the rye bread here - it's right up there! Heavy (weighs a ton), tasty and just the way it's supposed to be.

Oooh mama! I really like how there are so many ethnic grocery stores in Edmonton. That's just too… Read more »
13. Sunterra Marketplace
Sunterra is a true gem of a grocery store. I wish I was shopping here more often. Firstly, it's a co-op grocery store in that it is made up of the owners of Sunterra farms, a group of individually run farms around parts of Alberta.
While they offer…More »
14. 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 »
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. Corso 32
Delicious food is the least one could say for this family inspired menu by chef Daniel Costa who's hometown near Napoli in Italy is the inspiration behind the name Corso 32. The food exhibits a devoted attempt at being authentic, with the nuance of…More »
17. Dauphine Bakery and Bistro
Queen of Tarts is so much more than just tarts. A lovely bakery with french inspired breads, lots of treats, fancy small jars of jams, foie gras, local dried herbs etc. and of course delectable, pretty tarts. The breads are really good here. Try…More »
18. Yellowhead Brewery
Hung out for an hour out here tonight, a Sunday night, with live music, cheap beer ($3.75/pint) and delicious looking noshes. There's very little to complain about the hour I spent here. Although they're only open on Sunday nights, it's a great…More »
19. Harvest Cafe
My market Saturday's have become infinitely better. There's a lot to say about the new and revamped cafe at the Old Strathcona Farmers' market. Run by expert chef Brittany Watt, this cafe uses well over 80% of local produce many of which are right…More »
20. Three Boars Eatery
There's no point pretending that this isn't the best thing to happen to the Garneau neighborhood in a long time. Three Boars is so well situated, with their patio opening to the gritty sounds of 109th street traffic and their entire establishment…More »
