See All Lists
1. 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 »
2. Basha Donair & Shawarma
So you know when there's a dish you want to try, but don't because you're afraid you're gonna mispronounce it? Well that was me and shawarma. I didn't really know what it was, but I wanted to try it. But I never did cause I was afraid I'd misprounce…More »
3. ECO Cafe
Well I'm breaking tradition. I said I was only going to post 4 or 5 star reviews for August, but here I am posting a 3 star review. I'd probably give the ECO Cafe 3.5 stars if Yelp would let me.
When you first enter the cafe there's a coffee counter…More »
4. Carnegie Delicatessen
New York, NY 10019
USA
(800) 334-5606
Categories:
Delis,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Midtown West
Unlike some tourists in New York City I didn't set out trying to find Carnegie Deli, I just happened to come across it by accident. I looked and there it was and I thought, "why not?"
After listening to two customers in front of me talk about the…More »
5. Opa Souvlaki
I've always liked (loved) Greek food. Except olives, ironically enough. But anyway I like Opa. Sure it's not the best Greek Food your ever gonna eat, but for Fast Food it's one of the better options. It's a lot less greasy and generally more…More »
6. Famous Warehouse
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 677-8080
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
My friend wanted to check out this place after some of her coworkers told us about it. We went for lunch. It was actually pretty busy for being a bar at noon, but I'm sure most people know about the sweet prices they have.
I was sick with a cold so I…More »
7. The Junque Cellar
As I walked down the stairs into the Junque Cellar I didn't know what to expect. In my mind I was gonna see another secondhand store, dingy, with that musty odor all thrift stores seem to have.
That wasn't what I got. I looked to my right and saw…More »
8. Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village
I've lived in and around Edmonton my whole life, 27 years and this was my first visit to the Ukranian Cultural Heritage Village. For some reason whichever class I was in always missed out on the field trips to here.
I went to the Village a few weeks…More »
9. Dauphine Bakery and Bistro
I've never been to the 104 Street Farmers' Market, but I'd heard about how good the Queen of Tarts baked goods were. I stopped by one afternoon just before they were going to close. Inside the bakery was very nice. I didn't realize it was going to be…More »
10. Leduc Farmers' Market
The Leduc Farmers' Market is pretty good for a small city market. It runs Thursdays and Saturdays but only until about 1pm. There's booths with local crafts, fruits and veggies, and baked goods. They also sell kettle corn, which is always delicious.…More »
11. Beacon Hill Park
Beacon Hill Park was really beautiful. I was able to walk down from my hotel within a few minutes. I loved the gardens, bridges, the little ponds. I know there was a lookout point for the ocean but I didn't make it that far. I just kept looking at…More »
12. Lush Cosmetics
It seems you either love Lush or you hate Lush. The smell is quite strong when you walk into the store. If are really sensitive to perfume or strong soap smells you probably won't love Lush.
I actually don't mind the smell. I don't really use any of…More »
13. Bronx Museum
Bronx, NY 10456
USA
(718) 681-6000
Categories:
Museums,
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Concourse
On my last trip to New York I wanted to go to some of the smaller museums and sites I didn't get to see on my first trip several years ago. I took the subway up to the Bronx to go to Wave Hill, but decided to go to the BMA instead. I'd heard a lot of…More »
14. Coney Island Candy
Stepping inside this store is, well like being a kid in a candy store.. even if you're an adult. The first thing I hear when I step inside is the Zoltar machine asking me to get my fortune read. I love it, I haven't seen one of those machines in a…More »
15. Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
If 6 stars were possible the Fringe would get it. Hell I'd probably give the Fringe 7 out of 5 stars.
The Fringe is my favorite festival in Edmonton. It has a little bit of everything I love; outdoor buskers, food, street vendors, and theatre. Anyone…More »
16. Cross Iron Mills
I remember back in the mid nineties, or maybe it was the late nineties. Big box store complexes were becoming all the rage. I thought to myself, "well no one will ever build a mall in Alberta again."
Okay so that's clearly wrong. Cross Iron Mills is a…More »
17. Elite Event at Wunderbar
My first Yelp elite event and I think it went pretty well. Free drinks, free cupcakes, free swag, a sweet venue and some swell yelpers. I'm just sad I had leave early. Thanks to Brittany and everyone else who helped put on this event. Looking forward…More »
18. Passport to East Whyte Ave
So I admit I'm the type of person who thinks of Whyte Ave as extending from 109 Steet to Gateway Boulevard. The east side of Gateway doesn't usually register with me. So I'm realyl glad Yelp and some local businesses have put on the Passport to East…More »
19. Art Gallery of Alberta
I don't get art. I realize that's a pretty broad statement, and that art is a subjective medium but art galleries aren't really my thing. I look at a painting and usually the things that come to my mind are adjectives like; neat, weird and thoughts…More »
20. Green Lemongrass
Vancouver, BC V5V
(604) 875-6638
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Kensington-Cedar Cottage
I was spending the day with a friend in Vancouver and supper time was fast approaching. My friend asked if I wanted Vietnamese because she hadn't had Vietnamese food in a while. Me and Vietnamese food = yes please. So we came across the good word for…More »
21. Chez Cora
I don't know why there's so much Cora's hate here. I quite liked this restaurant. I've been to Cora's on the southside before and I know there's usually a line. If there's a line go in, and put your name in for a table. With just my friend and I we…More »
22. Vancouver Convention Centre
Vancouver, BC V6C 0C3
(604) 689-8232
Category:
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhoods: Coal Harbour, Downtown
I spent a couple days at the Vancouver Convention Centre for a Conference I was at. The building itself is quite beautiful. It's a very large and spacious building. While I was there there was at least three events (including the TBEX conference I…More »
23. Mayfield Dinner Theatre
The Mayfield is a great dinner theatre in Edmonton, that's located right in the Mayfield Hotel. I've seen several shows here, most recently was The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
Due to work schedules my friends and I usually go to one of…More »
24. Remedy Cafe
I went into Remedy last night to grab a tea to go. A friend of a friend had recommended the green dragon oolong (I think that's what it was called). I went with it and really enjoyed it. It was light but smooth. They had a huge tea selection as well…More »
25. Duchess Bake Shop
I finally went to Duchess for the first time ever. I kept seeing it on Yelp, hearing good things and I thought "a bake shop with sweet treats in Edmonton, I'm down with that."
My friend and I went in around 4:30 on Sunday, a half an hour before they…More »
26. The Lynton Hotel
London was my first... solo travel destination. I went for a few days before joining a Europe tour. And sure coming from Canada and going to London I was in an English speaking country, so I didn't have to worry about translation mishaps. But I was…More »
27. Gray's Papaya
I'd heard of Gray Papaya and just happened to stumble across it when I was in New York City, a happy little accident. I went for the recession special. The hot dog are rather thin, but you get two with this deal and a drink. I went for the coconut…More »
28. It's A Crock Country Store
Like the namesake implies It's A Crock is a store selling country cottage style decor. This isn't Ikea, but if you love country style decor (or you know someone who does) this store is a great little place to stop by and checkout. There's a wide…More »
29. Dairy Lane Café
A couple years ago my friends and I came down to Calgary to see a musical. We stopped at the now closed Nectar for a late night dessert and started talking with our waiter. We asked him for a recommendation for a breakfast or brunch restaurant and…More »
30. Edmonton Heritage Festival
I love going to the Heritage Festival (it'll always be Heritage Days to me). My friend and I went on Sunday, first thing when it opened. If you can do the walk, park at the Windsor lot at the U of A and walk down. They also have Park & Ride there,…More »
31. 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 »
32. Leduc Recreation Centre
Leduc Rec Centre (LRC) is the old Black Gold Centre with some fancy upgrades.
The LRC has the pool, skating rink and concession from before. But now there's also a field-house, a court (for basketball and games like that), curling rink, an exercise…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. |
Must. Have. Caffeine. (18)I'm a University student and with early morning classes, and all-night study sessions I've become a bit of a caffeine aficionado. These are the places where I like to get my java fix. |
Leduc & Nisku (12)Different businesses in Leduc and Nisku. List arranged alphabetically. |
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. |
