“Stopped in at The Koffee Cafe and had one of the best London Fogs I’ve ever tasted. Perfectly balanced, rich, and silky with just the right hint of vanilla — it’s the kind of drink that makes you slow down and actually enjoy the moment.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with plenty of space to sit, chat, or get some work done. You can tell the staff take pride in every cup they make, and that attention to detail shows from the first sip to the last.

If you’re a tea lover or just looking for a cozy spot with top-tier drinks in Edmonton, The Koffee Cafe is absolutely worth the visit.

“I love coming to this cafe. Whether I decide to have food from their kitchen, a ready to go pastry, or a drink, I know that it's going to be made with care. It gets a little busy around lunch, I wish it was bigger, but it's a wonderful space. The staff are amazing, and it's fun to chat with them when they're less busy. They're very kind and all very good at their jobs. Definitely one of my favourites in the city for sure!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“A group of friends & I went for coffee there Saturday after being let down by our recent regular meeting spot, and we couldn't be happier. Great service that went above & beyond and delicious hot drinks & pastries“

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

“One of my favourite shops in Edmonton for a treat . The lattes are always consistent and delicious . Exactly made the same way time and time again for the past 2-3 years I have been there . The pastries are amazing: especially the mango cake slice and the Mille- fuille pastry ( napoleon pastry ) .“

“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!“

“Great place to chill and enjoy a hot beverage!!“

“Excellent coffee, pastries, sandwiches and room.“

“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!“

“Taste 👍 , and boba pearl is freshly cooked“

“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“

“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.“

“very very noisy, i had trouble making conversation. i went at around 5pm on a weekday and it was very busy. drinks were reasonably priced and the food was great. not really my kind of thing this place, but it might be yours. i wouldn’t say that it’s a laptop study kind of cafe.“

“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!“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere and kind and prompt staff!“

“Amazing coffee with incredible service and food🥰“

“The food here is great, given it was my first time. I ordered ketebs or something that sounds like that. They prepared it fresh from scratch. It was so tasty and I was full in no time: it’s perfect for meat lovers. There were two of us, including an Eritrean friend who knows what original Eritrean food tastes like.“

“I would like to share my experience of great service I received at deli department. There is a selection of cured and smoked meats & sausage. It happen that mostly I had been served by Mykola. He helps me so quickly by describing meat product and providing a sample. So, I always buy what I like atmost the taste of dried cured meat that sliced very thinly and simply melt in the mouth. Mykola is always polite and attentive. He is able to vacuum seal it, so, it can last longer in the fridge or freezer. Definitely, he provides an excellent customer service.“

“Take out Christmas dinner was excellent“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

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

“I love this cafe! The staff are so personable - they remembered my name from early on and always greet me by name, all the food and treats are homemade, and they have the most delicious drinks! I would highly recommend this place for anyone in the area wanting lunch, coffee, or a sweet treat!“

“This was my first experience with eating a Donair and my gosh was it worth the price. It was some of the most delicious food I've had. The prices were more than fair. It's definitely a must if you find yourself hungry near Abbotsfield mall.“
