Must. Have. Caffeine.

1. Bean Cuisine
I walked by Bean Cuisine last week and noticed a very sad sign saying the cafe was closed. It's really unfortunate because this was a good coffeeshop, and the only local coffeeshop in Leduc. I always had a nice experience here. Service may have been…More »

Bean Cuisine is a coffeeshop in downtown Leduc on 50th Ave. The coffeeshop is quite nice inside,… Read more »
2. Block 1912
Edmonton, AB T6E 1Z9
(780) 433-6575
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Coffee & Tea
This sunday I went to Rapid Fire Theatre's Bonfire festival, and I decided to go to Block 1912 after. This is a great cafe. It doesn't look very big from the outside, but Block 1912 is quite large inside. There are a variety of couches, as well as…More »
3. Bueno Gelato
Bueno Gelato is a really nice little cafe just off 124 Street by the Glenora B&B. They offer coffee, tea, sandwiches, but I've only ordered the gelato. It's so good. I stopped by again today, a got two scoops of blood orange gelato in waffle cone -…More »
4. Cafe Da Gama
Edmonton, AB T5J 3G2
(780) 425-7596
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Breakfast & Brunch
I didn't really mean to come here. I actually wanted to go to Soul Soup, a place I'd been meaning to try for ages. But when I got there it was closed. Maybe for renovations, maybe forever. Cafe De Gama was right beside Soul Soup, and I walked in.

5. Credo Coffee
So today I went to Credo. I decided to avoid trying the take the LRT during the middle of rush hour and to stop by here for a coffee instead. You know that saying, tv made me do it? Yeah well Yelp made me do it. I wouldn't have known about this…More »
6. Elm Cafe
I stopped here because I was in the neighbourhood, and I heard Elm was a pretty good coffee spot. I was a little surprised at how small the cafe is. There were a couple tables outside, and some seats at the window, but that was it. Elm Cafe doesn't…More »
7. Gracious Goods Cafe
I never knew this place existed until I went to Belgravia Books and Treasure a few weeks ago. Gracious Goods is located next door, but it was close when I was there. So I came back a few days ago.
This cafe is just a block from the Mckernan Belgravia…More »
8. Homestead Ice Cream & Cappuccino
Saskatoon, SK S7N 0Z4
(306) 653-5588
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Driving around Saskatoon I came upon Homestead, an ice cream parlor tucked a few blocks away from Broadway. Warm nostalgic memories came to me as I came here once when I was younger. It's a nice place to get ice cream, coffee, and other desserts…More »
9. Italian Centre Shop South
I love the Italian Centre Shop. This isn't the type of place you're gonna run to if you just need to pick up a jug of milk. The Italian Centre shop has a great bakery, and deli, as well as produce. I love the olive oil and balsamic vinegar selection…More »
10. Remedy Cafe
I heard a rumour that Remedy was finally open downtown. Today I found myself downtown and I thought, "hey I'm gonna go to Remedy and get a delicious chai."
I've been to the original Remedy a few times and always enjoyed the drinks and food. there But…More »
11. Second Cup
This Second Cup is the first chain coffee shop to open an actual restaurant in Leduc. Sure there's Starbuck's at Safeway, but you can't really sit down and drink your coffee there.
To be honest I've always liked Second Cup, I use to go there often in…More »
12. Serious Coffee
I like to support local companies at home, and when I travel, so I was happy to see that Serious Coffee was a local company in Victoria. They had a good assortment of drinks including a variety of tea lattes. I also liked that they offered a few…More »
13. Starbucks Coffee Company
Coming into Vancouver I was looking for my hostel. But my need for some sort of protein after a long day of school and travel was much more pressing. Enter Starbuck's. Some people will lambast them, standard coffee chain, nothing really risky or…More »
14. The Carrot
The Carrot is a community arthouse/music venue/coffeeshop on Alberta Ave. They are volunteer run and sell the standard coffeeshop type of fair, as well as some lunch items. They have a stage and open mics on Saturday and Thursdays. When I came in…More »
15. Tim Hortons
First it's Tim Horton's - don't expect life changing coffee or food. Why this Tim Horton's gets a high rating is in the speed of service. Having to caterer to early morning workers going to the airport, Nisku and from Leduc to Edmonton this Tim's is…More »
16. Transcend Coffee
Located right beside the Garneau theatre this is one of three Transcends in Edmonton. If you don't know me I'll admit right now that I love the coffee here. It's always fantastic, and the baristas are great at helping you pick a great cup of coffee…More »
17. Transcend Coffee
Finally made it down to the original location. The location seems a little strange and out of the way, but I can tell it probably gets a lot of traffic. The server was friendly, and the coffee was still delicious. I don't think it's possible to have…More »
18. Transcend Coffee
This location has become my Transcend of choice, just because it's close to the LRT and easy for me to get to when I want a treat.
Transcend's coffee is still delicious. My favourite drink is still the Flat White, but I've expanded and tried some of…More »

Recently updated lists from Alouise D.
At The Stripmall (10)Edmonton is a city that has a lot of stripmalls. And while many may associate stripmalls with cookie cutter suburban life, the truth is that there's actually some great restaurants and stores that can be found in a stripmall. So before judging a place because it's not in a trendy neighborhood, head down to a stripmall and give these places a try. List is arranged in alphabetical order. |
Leduc & Nisku (12)Different businesses in Leduc and Nisku. List arranged alphabetically. |
The 30 Day Challenge List (32)This is a list of all the places I've reviewed for the August 30 Day challenge.There isn't an apparent theme, but all these places are linked together in the fact they have gotten either 4 or 5 stars from me. They are all awesome and I encourage you to go there if you can. Items are arranged by the date of review, with the newer reviewed places being at the top. |
Gone, but not forgotten (4)These are places that I've gone to that have unfortunately closed - either temporarily or permanently. They were great places, and I'm sad they have gone. If I had a time machine, I'd invite you to come along and see these places for yourself, but I guess a Yelp review is as good as it gets.List is in alphabetical order. |
