The atmosphere of the restaurant is clean, cozy, and welcoming. A big shoutout to Kavita for her excellent customer service – she was very friendly and made me feel right at home. Great place for a relaxing meal. Highly recommend!“

“Yesterday was my first time visiting this place since moving from Vancouver to Griesbach, and both the Biscoff cake and the latte were absolutely amazing. A young man took my order, and he was so kind with excellent service. Experiencing this kind of hospitality, which is rare to see in Edmonton, will definitely make me want to come back again. Keep up the great work🙌🏻“

“Beautiful cafe with delicious food! The owner (or one of the management) was very nice and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. Our table tried a variety of desserts, and they all enjoyed it. I had the pistachio vanilla gelato and was very good.
I will definitely be back for pancakes or crepes! Pictured is the sample of the pancakes ? ? it was super delicious!“

“Wonderful food. The stand at portsalon deserves a Michelin star!“

“We stopped by Ayco Cafe for a quick take-out and had an iced matcha latte and iced chai latte — both were exactly what we hoped for: smooth, flavorful, and refreshing. The staff were super friendly and easy to talk to, with great customer service and clear communication. We didn’t get a chance to try their brunch or baked goods this time, but judging by the amazing display and wide selection, we’ll definitely be back to explore more. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“Wow, wow, WOW!!! What a great experience. Came for a YEG cooking class that was gifted to me, and had the best time ever! Chef is amazing on all fronts, humorous and full of energy. The food was amazing and it was so fun the entire time. Everyone engaged with each other and it made the evening that much better!

Can’t wait to come back to do the pasta class!“

“Wow, fabulous desserts: a good as being in France, without the airfare.“

“Great service and awesome coffee but i recommend the londonfog its yummy“

“Excellent coffee shop. Wonderful staff“

“The one and only complaint I have is that they sell decaf. Bonnie saved my life today. I switched our subscription temporarily as we were going through more than usual, and when I switched back I somehow chose decaf. Decaf!?! It just isn't sustainable make-go juice. I emailed right away to see if we could exchange it after it arrived, but Bonnie managed to switch it out for me just in the much of time before Canada Post got there. Life. Saver. Ever since we've started using Transcend beans, other coffees just don't taste the same. It's definitely the favorite in this home. I haven't had a roast I don't like yet!“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Great place. Booked Mother’s Day tea. Such a shock when we walked in. Beautiful dining area“

“Best matcha latte in town. Excellent Panini on homemade focaccia- so delicious!“

“Tried their food at the Taste of Edmonton and absolutely loved the meatball lollipops so much, we had to sample everything! First time trying baklava and it was delicious“

“Taste 👍 , and boba pearl is freshly cooked“

“Only complaint, Holy moly that was the worst cup of tea I've ever had. Hot water with some loose leafs that only steeped for about 20 seconds.

Other than that... Great soup and sandwiches, coffee was apparently good too.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, fantastic service and we loved the food and drinks! We will be stopping in again on our next trip to the city!“

“Came in with mom for dine in.
Was craving for pizza so decided to try it out here. It was our first time.
Chef, Alessandro was very kind and helpful to me when I asked him about pizza suggestions based on my dietary needs.
We ordered Four cheese mushroom and vegetarian pizza.
Served hot and fresh, both pizzas had unique flavour. It was delightful to eat here!
Staff were friendly and polite.
The place wasn’t busy at all so it was good to sit down quietly and enjoy our food.

Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options to choose from. There is always a choice to substitute chicken or meat.

Parking: Italian centre is in the plaza so tons of free parking in the plaza.

Kid-friendliness: Great choices for kids to choose from. They have great variety of sandwiches on their menu.“

“When for lunch with two friends. Had there Bison Burger and fries . It all was fantastic will be back“

“I’ve ordered from AUM Cafe several times now and all I can say is that not only is the food delicious, the owners really care. This is a rare combo these days I definitely recommend AUM Cafe based on my recent experiences. Awesome stuff 😊“

“Came across this when visiting Canada Place. It's towards the back of the food court, so a little hidden. Was greeted by the owner as I walked by. He politely introduced all the pizzas that were on display. If a full individual size ($8.95) is too much for you, they do offer a half portion ($5.00), which I chose. It was hot , fresh , and delicious. The owner was very pleasant and friendly. Great price for downtown office building. Highly recommend.“

“Ordered the Banh Mi and a blueberry muffin. The muffin was so dense and rich and soft, and it was still warm. Felt like home baking. It was so good that I didn’t even get a picture of it. The Banh Mi was also fantastic - make sure to ask for it toasted, she recommended it when I ordered and I second her recommendation! Prices are pretty reasonable as well, since she makes a lot of it herself.“

“Food and service here are always great! As a tea drinker, I appreciate that they serve tea from locally owned Acquired Taste Tea Company. I wish their tea selection was a bit broader (Golden Chai from is my favourite!). Pastries are definitely a highlight and I live to grab a mid morning treat when I’m working downtown.“

“Cannot get over how great the food here is! Three totally different food types and all 3 of us left talking about how this will be our forever go too. The flavours, the amazing service, just wow. A must stop spot“

“nice place to stop by when you are by the ski hill !“

“Take out Christmas dinner was excellent“

“I've been here 3 times while visiting Edmonton over the last few months. I have always had a great time, good music, good vibe. Doesn't get super packed which like, you can always find somewhere to sit or hang out without feeling squashed. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Edmonton!“

“Super reasonable prices and friendly people. Kale salad is delicious (love the dressing!). I love the snack box because it's like charcuterie for lunch and the vegan cheese is SO GOOD (I am not vegan...it is THAT tasty!) I love the chill vibes - you can order a coffee and hang out all day on your lap top and it's all good.“

“Really fresh and well made sandwiches. The ingredients really complicated each other. I tried the cran and brie as well as the Cali sandwich. The ciabatta bread was warm, soft, and fresh. The best I've had. Service was great, and the sandwiches were made in under 10 minutes.“

“WOW! Friendly service and The BEST Cinnamon Buns ever! very reasonably priced too! Appreciate that they care about Covid and therefore require a mask and proof of vaccination. Especially as this is within a Seniors Centre. Cafe open to all. Go check it out!“

“my husband and I have been craving a good portuguese chicken restaurant place since we got to Edmonton in 2022 and we finally got a chance to try this place and OMG! it's not good..... it's absolutely amazing!!! we can't wait to come back!“

“this little store inside MTC is a great place to visit if you are looking for a great Hot or Cold drinks and experience the nicest and always happy looking face of the owner that run this small business. this store is a miles far from the previous management, I've witness the big changes.“

“Work in this building. The two atrias are very well kept and nice to sit in normally when the pandemic is not on. There's a dry side with tons of tropical plants and a wet side that also has tropical plants but also a fish pond and waterfall. Very lovely building“

“Great organzation to network with aspirational women especially if you're a goal-oriented immigrant woman“
