In addition to computers snug in the back of this coffee shop, wireless is reliable here (although you have to ask for the password) plus plug-ins - so many plug-ins! Hallelujah!
Seating all around is very comfy, with a big set of couches in the…More »

This is my new all-time favourite coffee shop ever. For any purpose. In fact, scratch that first sentence. This is my new all-time favourite place ever. Period.
As Stefon would say, this place has everything. Fresh flowers, home decor, hot coffee,…More »
Very cool coffee art - an artistic leaf design to top my London Fog. The perfect amount of strong tea and sweetness in my cup, too.
I like the vibe in here. It's perfect for business meetings, and freelancers with laptops surround you. The only…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 »
What with Edmonton being one of the sunniest cities in Canada and all, the folks at Transcend seem to know what they're doing by installing massive windows along the front of their 109th street location. You can't sip a latte in Transcend without…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 »

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 would say that The Greenhouse is a secret indulgence for me, but with a menu of healthy healthy treats, it's not much very indulgent, and I don't keep it particularly secret!
My favourite salad here is the Sol Caesar. It has a light but creamy…More »
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 »
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 »
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 »
So it was really, really cold yesterday. Luckily, I had appointments all in one area (124th street-ish) and Steeps was the perfect place for kill some time in between dates.
The location is awesome. It's near all kinds of restaurants, shops, and…More »
I'm always afraid to give a big chain such an overwhelming super-positive review, but this Second Cup really takes the (coffee) cake.
It's got a bright, big, sunshine-streaming window right in front with a bar in place where you can sit, sip on your…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 »
One thing I truly can't believe is how friggin' long it took me to finally try the newest location of Edmonton. Yes, a week is a long time in Brittany Land to go without trying a new coffee place.
This new Transcend takes thing to a whole 'nother…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 »
This is the perfect place for a little student studying or some light reading during the daytime, and a wonderful spot for some live music in the evening.
A great space with a wall of teas to choose from (plus specialties like matcha and chai lattes),…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 »

I had the most amazing stay at the Galleria Park Hotel. I was in SF for a week and a bit in June, doing a bit of hotel hopping along the way. GPH was my last stop for two nights before flying home.
When we checked in, the two young guys at the front…More »
I am Jeffrey's newest and biggest fan. I love cafes. I love wine bars. Jeffrey's is both!
It's quieter during the day, with plenty of tables and a few couches perfect for getting work done or catching up with friends. They offer some light lunch items…More »
Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome. How else can I describe The Carrot? Oh, wait - awesome.
To kick things off, The Carrot has everything I look for in a coffee shop. Lots of tables, piping hot coffee, friendly staff, free wifi, and an eclectic…More »

How come we didn't stay any longer in Barcelona? I think this might be my favourite city on earth, and this hotel served us just fine throughout our stay.
We booked online using a deals website without really knowing what we were getting into. The…More »
Yahoo! I had not one, not two, but three computer problems. It was pretty much a Christmas carol. Two chargers a not working, one visual settings issue, one security problem, and a partridge in a Mac tree.

We had tickets to a movie at just-one-parking-lot-over South Edmonton Cineplex Theatre for 10:45 but the whole date night was kind of a spur of the moment sort of thing, so at around 9 PM, we had some time to kill.

I had plans to meet an old university friend off-campus the other day, but what with the weather being what it was (brrrrr!), she wasn't too keen on walking somewhere off campus (she works for the U of A). I concurred and we decided on Dewey's. Food,…More »
I very randomly had an opportunity to spend a night at this little "Village" at Pigeon Lake. Husband had a work retreat here, and splitting one car between the two of us, I had to drive him there. But I wasn't about to drive an hour out of town with…More »
While I was kind of bummed to say goodbye to Cafe Dabar and its very friendly owner (Manager? Barista? Whatever, the chipper dude who was always there), I do love to see a great new cafe!

If I weren't on this newfangled low carb thing, this would definitely be my new favourite place for breakfast!
It's just a bit out of the way, housed in the same small building as the infamous Steel Wheels. There's plenty of street parking nearby,…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 »

My first trip to New York was less than 48 hours, but my BFF said we simply had to visit the Meatball Shop or the trip would be incomplete. She was totally right about the meatball place - it was awesome. But even better than that was Epstein's Bar,…More »

I've been bad. I've been visiting this Starbucks more frequently that I should be, but it's all in the name of good health. Scout's honour.
One, it's exactly 4.0 km from my place, so husband and I have been taking more walks here in summertime. It's a…More »
