1. Remedy Cafe
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 »
2. Garneau Theatre
The first place to check out if you're looking for the hot indie flick of the moment, plus some more mainstream films occasionally. The theatre set-up is so cool. A lower level of flat seating, and an upper level behind the theatre entrance that…More »
3. Gravity Pope
Gravity Pope is a trendy spot on Whyte Avenue with a very cool shoe collection. These aren't shoes you'll find at any ol' shoe store. No, this is hip, futuristic footwear for the modern and urban girl.
Watch for sales at GP because the prices here are…More »
4. Princess Theatre
One of the cool, historic parts of the area to remain on Whyte Ave to this day, so I'm automatically in love.
Even with some renovations, this theatre has retained its old-timey feel, from the grand marquee above the entrance to the ornate iron above…More »
5. Blue Plate Diner
I am not a very good date at Blue Plate Diner. I simply can't decide what to eat, because I really like everything I've tried off the menu so far! Am I in the mood for a yummy caesar salad? With chicken, or without? What about the special treat of a…More »
6. Block 1912
Edmonton, AB T6E 1Z9
(780) 433-6575
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
How do I not have a review of this wonderful, wonderful coffee shop?
Only a tiny doorway leads you into Block 1912. Very deceptive indeed. Inside is an absolutely massive cafe. It goes super far back and the high ceilings really top it off. I'm not…More »
7. Sugar Bowl
Edmonton, AB T6G 0Z1
(780) 433-8369
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Canadian (New),
Breakfast & Brunch
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 »
8. Steeps Urban Teahouse
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 »
9. Sneak Preview
Such a great little video store! Great staff, who have always helped me find the videos I want since I find their system a little bit confusing. Instead of taking the video off the shelf, you take up the blue tag to them. No blue tag = no copies in…More »
10. Blue Chair Café
Big shout out to all of the yelpers who wrote reviews about this place already. I was meeting with some old friends for breakfast and they wanted a new place to go to that wasn't IHOP. This place sounded pretty awesome based on those reviews and we…More »
11. The Edmonton Book Store
This is a wicked used bookstore originally hailing from the McKernan area and transported to Whyte Avenue. Not only is it crammed full of every kind of book on every kind of subject imaginable. It's like it's Belle's library dream came true in Beauty…More »
12. The Next Act
If you're looking for some awesome and creative pub food (like pulled pork nachos!) or adorably-named burgers (the Drama Queen) just off Whyte Ave, then pop on into local theatre-goer fav The Next Act Pub.
I swung by for Saturday afternoon drinks and…More »
13. Latitude 53 Gallery
Dear Latitude 53,
You are pretty flippin' cool. How is it that I've spent so much time over the years at Metro Billiards next door, yet I passed by your door and you remained unnoticed to me?
Well, we finally met, and aren't you so lovely? A funky…More »
14. Phobulous
Even as the not-greatest fan of pho, I still really like Phobulous. The location is just right and I love the big window along the front wall with the bar-style seating. It's the best spot to sit if you're just stopping in for a lunch by yourself.
…More »
15. Happy Joe's Pizza
This spot is kind of run down, but on a hot summer night when I lived in Garneau, there was nowhere I would have rather been for a pizza and cold beer on the patio. (Well, that's not entirely true, but it wasn't so bad.)
It's a pub at heart, but the…More »
16. Edmonton Event Centre
This small-medium sized concert venue doesn't have a lot of local love. I was really surprised when it recently ended up on a list of Billboard's hottest clubs. Who woulda thunk it?
There's some good and some bad at this place. The security is not on…More »
17. Room at the Top
Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, but I can't give anything less than five stars to Room At The Top.
Before its renovation, it was a typical campus pub with a little somethin' something' extra - an amazing nearly-360-degrees view of the city. Now…More »
18. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Oops, a bit of a belated review on the Edmonton Fringe Festival, but here it is!
The Fringe is my absolute favourite festival of the summer. It really finishes off the summer on a great note and it's the time that I think Old Strathcona really comes…More »
19. Halo Lounge
So I made my most recent visit to Halo Lounge a couple of Saturdays ago. The trip to Halo was preceded by a Passion Party and pre-drinking at one of my best friend's apartments (it was her birthday). After losing count of sour appletinis and losing…More »
20. Value Village
With an ugly sweater party coming up, where was a girl to turn to find a buffet of ugly sweaters for her favourite yelpers? Well, Value Village of course.
This place is pretty huge. It's sort of what you expect from the outside - flourescent lighting,…More »
21. The Bamboo Ballroom
This might just be my favourite little store on Whyte. Well, it's not exactly on Whyte, it's just a half a block off, but you know what I'm saying. My style ranges from preppy to retro to urban depending on my mood that day. But I know that when I go…More »
22. Yellowhead Brewery
I love this place! I think it's one of the last secret gems in Edmonton. Yellowhead Brewery not only produces one of my favourite beers, but they have one of my favourite spaces in the city.
Every Sunday night is Industry Night, so I came by here with…More »
23. Dewey's
Edmonton, AB T6G 2N2
(780) 492-1762
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Coffee & Tea,
Dive Bars
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 »
24. New York Bagel Cafe
Edmonton, AB T6E 4B4
(780) 432-2003
Categories:
Breakfast & Brunch,
Bagels
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 »
25. The ARTery
This place is way cooler than anything you might expect in Edmonton. It's one part art gallery (featuring way cool local artists and all kinds of weird stuff up on the walls) and one part performance venue. The performances could be anything. A…More »
26. Old Strathcona Antique Mall
The Antique Mall can only be summed up by one word: magical!
Just don't go an hour before they close, like I did. You'll end up having gone through about 1/4 of the place when all of a sudden it's 6 PM.
Furniture, clothing, collectibles, toys, comics,…More »
27. Red Star Pub
I came by Red Star on a Thursday evening with a few friends to grab a couple of pints. If you're looking for a chill evening out on a weeknight in a bar with ten times more atmosphere and a much cooler crowd than The Pint, Hudsons and On The Rocks…More »
28. Ponytails + Horseshoes
I just had the best salon experience of my life.
I need to give a bit of backstory, which I swear will have a point: I went to the same stylist, Danielle, for 6 years. She was amazing. Then she moved to Toronto, and since then I've been bouncing…More »
