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 »

After discovering that the southern-style bento place we had wanted to check out was take-out only, my fellow tourists and I saw a bright, sparkly "The Original" across the street. We weren't sold, but we were starving, so we checked it out.

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 »
This might just be my new favourite coffee shop! If it isn't the rich hot chocolate or flavourful teas, it's the fun conversation with Luzzara owner Sarah.
The space is so cool. Super-cute black and white wallpapering (and curtains to match!) and cute…More »
I'm putting on my sad face for the bad reviews at this place right now. This is actually one of my favourite Earl's locations in the city.
I popped in here for lunch with my mama the other day and I was very impressed with the service. We got a seat…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 »
I turned into a 5-year-old yesterday afternoon when I finally received my belated birthday present from Michael J - a kitty! Growing up with allergic brothers, I was a sad, pet-free child. But no more!
We knew that once it was time to get a cat, we…More »
Mmmm, London Fog. I know Transcend is all about great coffee (and their coffee is fantastic), but they serve up a mean London Fog, too.
A cute little location off Argyll with lots of seating both on the main level and upstairs. I was the only one…More »
So when I get into my outdoorsy mode (which is sometimes), then this is really one of the best places to go for top-notch gear. Whether hiking, biking, or anything in between, MEC probably has you covered for supplies, clothing, and food (yup, food).…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'm wavering between 4 and 5 stars for Dahlia's. The food is 4 stars, the decor and sturdy furniture are worth 5, and the service is worth about 15! Sigh. Unfortunately, I just can't hand out a 5-er when my sandwich was really a 4-star bite.
I tried…More »
Nomiya was alright. Its menu is pretty different from any other Japanese restaurant that I've been to. Bento boxes? No. Tapas? Well, I guess so. They call it tapas, but isn't that Spanish? Anyway, they serve a vareity of rolls, ramen, and Japanese…More »

With only one day set aside for shopping on my most recent trip to San Francisco, I knew I was going to have to be efficient. None of the "wandering around Macy's for fours" nonsense of previous trips. No, certainly not.

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 »
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 »
Tres Carnales just keeps getting better and better. Just when I thought I had found true love with a torta, these three great friends add new dishes to their menu! The service is still outstanding and now the food is even tastier. Viva!
I love Mexican cuisine, but that doesn't mean I'm very good at reading a menu at a Mexican… Read more »
I think I was about 12 years old the last time I got a manicure, but my fabulous bridesmaids decided that manicures would be the first stop on a whirlwind weekend of stagette and bridal shower madness.

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.

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 »
Italian food is my all-time favourite. Like, in a discussion the other day with some yelpers about what our top 5 favourite cuisines are, Italian and Indian were the only two that didn't require serious thought. Immediate reaction = PASTA AND…More »
This could be my new neighbourhood pub! With friends visiting from Calgary, we wanted a casual spot to catch up, hang out, and satisfy our hunger and thirst. Another friend had recommended JR to us a while back but we still hadn't been, so we thought…More »
As I learned yesterday, very few brunch places are open at 9 AM on a Thursday in Edmonton. Or, fewer than I thought would be. After my Plan A and Plan B for a birthday brunch fell through, a drive to 124th Street seemed like the appropriate remedy…More »
I rented a storage unit for the first time a couple of months ago. First I went to Sentinel, who were very expensive. They helpfully directed me to South Edmonton Storage, who had storage lockers in my price range, but not in the size I needed. They…More »
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 »
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!
Cafe Coral de Cuba has kind of a waaaay too long name…More »
This isn't really a place you want to go, because if you do, it means your pet is pretty sick. Because they're open 24/7, they're the place to go when an urgent issue arises but your current vet is closed for the evening. Although I came here because…More »

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 »

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!

My first time using Rayacom for a big print job and it was a huge success. I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. It's all quite formal, I was a bit put off at first. You meet with a sales rep in their office, they look at your files, do a…More »
Amazing store - even better now that they've expanded! An entire first floor dedicated to a wide selection of dance outfits, plus any kind of costume accessory you can think of. Hats? They've got fedoras, pirate hats, feathers, bowlers, top hats, you…More »
You're probably thinking, there's nothing particularly interesting one could say about a visit to Canada Post. And you'd be absolutely correct.

Lord's Shoes could be my favourite shoe store in Edmonton. I love finding a fabulous and funky non-chain boutique smack dab in the middle of a mall, and Lord's is just that!
A lot of heels, most of which are right on-trend, but if you're looking for…More »

My friend Sarah had the fantastic idea to go for brunch at Culina. I made reservations, as per Yelper recommendations, which were also a fantastic idea. We watched as several couples and larger groups were turned away and given a long wait time, all…More »
Had an awesome night out here! It wasn't totally authentic Mexican food, but it was dang delicious. The only requirement I have of a quesadilla is that it be super cheesy, and these delivered.
Even if you're "meh" on the food (I actually like the…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 »
