“My friend and I had high tea! The food was delicious, the service fantastic and the atmosphere very relaxing and cosy. Highly, highly recommend Cafe Bel-Air!“

“Delicious cookies that are egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. The service is outstanding. The staff are so kind and friendly. I have used their online ordering twice (once for a delivery and once for a pick-up). The experience was smooth and easy to use. They have new flavours every week. They are always a hit as a gift!“

“Mokha Coffee House lives up to its name — bright, warm, and full of life. A welcoming Yemeni-inspired space with great drinks, local baked goods, and friendly staff. Cozy corners, greenery, and natural light make it perfect for conversation or quiet time.

–– For those who enjoy more detail: ––

Bright, sunny, and alive with greenery, Mokha Coffee House offers a welcoming space that blends a unique Yemeni cultural touch with modern warmth — the name fits the space perfectly. The décor, live plants, and thoughtful layout create distinct experiences in every corner: the quiet intimacy of the loft, the cozy restaurant section with its private nooks, and the four-walled glass room surrounded by light and foliage.

Drinks are crafted with care — the Spanish Latte (quarter sweet), the chai-spiced Adani tea, and the smooth, rich coffee all stand out. Most of the baked goods are made in-house, and those that aren’t are baked locally in Edmonton — a lovely nod to community pride. Friendly staff elevate the experience even further, offering samples like Adani tea to welcome guests. During warmer months, the outdoor courtyard and water feature add to the uplifting atmosphere, making the café both grounding and inspiring.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Koffee Cafe! I absolutely loved the Indian-style coffee and the soup – both were delicious and full of authentic flavor. 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!“

“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 😊“

“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🙌🏻“

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

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

“Visited for the first time as part of the CoffeePass program. The cafe is very pretty and is a nice place to sit and relax. I had a flat white that was super tasty and exactly the way I like it. The star of the show, however, was their cruffins. Absolutely delicious and jam packed with a cream filling. I had a salted caramel one while my partner had pistachio. I will def be back to try the other flavours...well worth the trip!“

“My favourite place with delicious sweets! The perfect place to treat yourself 💯“

“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!“

“Just had an amazing foodie experience! ☕️ The matcha was perfection—smooth, earthy, and perfectly balanced. Tried the Italian Capicollo sandwich, which was packed with flavor, and the avocado toast was fresh and absolutely on point. Great service, cozy vibe—5/5 stars all around. Highly recommend!

“Taste 👍 , and boba pearl is freshly cooked“

“Excellent coffee shop. Wonderful staff“

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

“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!“

“Great dessert! Saw it at tiktok as recommendation and came to check it out. The loaded mini pancake are a must for somone who is not a sweet tooth. Also ordered the turkish coffee which was pleasantly good for its price. Will be coming back again to taste more desserts!“

“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“

“I like the friendliness here, and the service. I enjoy the variety of food here, and I had many different items, more than any other place. When I am not sure what I want, staff are eager to make suggestions, and I have never been disappointed. Lattes are $5, hard to find lattes for that price in this neighbourhood. Somewhat higher prices, but good-sized servings to match.Only two tables, and chairs at the bar but the manager introduces people to each other and they can sit together. I have met a lot of people here.Favourites are the soups and wraps.Try the tuxedo cookies- a real treat!“

“Quaint little cafe Northside of Edmonton. It's cute space and staff were very friendly. Coffee was delicious (ordered a cappuccino) and their Brekky sandwich was also great. So happy to have a local spot nearby us, will definitely be back and letting people know about this spot.“

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

“Beans List is hands down the best coffee shop! The staff here are amazing, you can truly tell they pour their heart into everything they do. All their drinks are incredible, and the warm, friendly atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to grab a cup. Definitely the best place on campus!“

“Taste 👍 , and boba pearl is freshly cooked“

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

“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.“

“Great ambiance, great food and great drinks. There is a great vibe when you come. This coffee bar is attached to Italian Centre we came for lunch and really enjoyed our pizza and panini’s. Part of the coffee shop and Italian store is a fantastic bakery. My wife and I along with our son and parents really loved the he coffee shop. There is difficulty finding a parking spot but when you do you won’t be disappointed. We will return again“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Take out Christmas dinner was excellent“

“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“

“GREATCOFFEE! GREATVIBE! It’s nice to see the roaster in action too.“

“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!“
