“Amazing First Visit to Boxcar Coffee Shop!
I recently visited Boxcar Coffee Shop for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and a menu that caters to all tastes. The service was top-notch – friendly, attentive, and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

And the cake? Wow! It was the highlight of my visit – moist, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell they put care into every detail. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great coffee, tasty food, and the perfect sweet treat!“

“Wow ! What a delicious gluten free dessert place ! Highly recommend & will be returning !“

“Amazing atmosphere! I loved the interior design of the coffeehouse and the staff were kind and welcoming. I went around 1:00 PM on a holiday and it was pretty busy, all of the tables were filled so if you are planning to stay awhile and study/do work I would recommend coming early. I ordered an iced matcha latte and it was really good!“

“One of my favorite cafes! It feels relaxed, the service is always warm and friendly, and there's a great vibe overall. Whether it's the Glenora or Fairway location, they have great staff and food - scones, drinks, desserts, you name it! I've always had good experiences there, the prices are very reasonable, and I love that it doesn't feel like a chain store or a canned experience, or that I'm rushed to get in and get out. Great spot!

Kid-friendliness: I'm a breastfeeding mom and I felt comfortable bringing and feeding my babu with my nursing cover. There were a few other kids and babies there too. Overall a very welcoming place.“

“Welcome to Hazeldean! From the decor, to the lattes, to the food, to the staff, everything was fantastic during my visit. A high-end coffee was exactly what our little community needed, adding to the other wonderful local businesses we have in the area. Looking forward to many more breakfasts and brunches in the future.“

“Great atmosphere and great coffee and muffins. Family friendly and cozy

Parking: Lots of parking and large area for larger vehicles

Kid-friendliness: I have a two year old and a six year old who both enjoyed it. There were high chairs available for small children. Lots of things to look at for older children. Muffin and cookie selection was great for kids as well“

“I’m often in the area for work and I make it a point to stop here when I can. Their food and their drinks are made with intention. Lovely service every time as well. There is a full wall filled with locally made ceramics (there’s some studios in the back of the building space) that are always changing. I’m always so tempted!
Fave food picks are the Pub Piggy breakfast sandwich and the TJ Caesar sandwich. Hoping to try the Figgy Jam next! I also love their spiced americano. Reasonably priced as well.“

“This place is amazing... must try! Best iced coffee I've ever had. You can also buy the cream from them. If you are vegan or can't eat dairy, this place is a game changer.“

“Exceptional customer service and coffee along with a great selection of brewing equipment. If you have any questions they're very quick to help you out! Would highly recommend!“

“It was a 10/10 for me!! Service was excellent and knowledgeable about their specials, food and seasonal drink was delicious. Espresso, rosemary syrup and blood orange soda over ice!? What a great combination, it was so refreshing! Love the location as well and that they are dog friendly on the patio!“

“One major thing that set this business apart: extremely thoughtful details. This Blue Heart project made my eyes sting and my heart full. 💙 And the note on the door for people with mobility or accessibility difficulties/ disabilities. The coffee was delicious but these touches really hit the mark. Consumer choices matter and this business got my attention today ❤️.

Wheelchair accessibility: A note on the exterior welcoming users to ring a bell for assistance opening the door.“

“We had a chicken panini, tasty, very well served.The strawberry vitamin with milk was out of the world, it came with a kind of fruit salad, amazing.Very clean and the owners are super friendly.We will come.back to try out their menu again.“

“Dessert are really good... We tried and would recommend Funnel Cake-Pitache, the Belgian Creations -Chill to the cone, and Skillet cookies -for the love of Rocher, Funnel Fry Poutine- fudge and caramel concoction. Drinks are heaven too.
Service is outstanding - Shanu is very helpful and very friendly. The place itself is very spacious and clean when we went. We visited to other location too but this one is the biggest one we've been so far.

Kid-friendliness: ?“

“Very unique and authentic taste. love this restaurant. Juri such a nice hostess. My favorite lunch hangout“

“Went to try the high tea special this evening. Very much recommend! Service was fantastic, tea options were plentiful (we got the vanilla black tea on recommendation and it was a great pick). Loved the sweet pastries, especially the pink heart cookies and the fruit tart (even had gold dust!) will come back to try some hot food options. All our high tea savory samplings were vegetarian“

“Love this please excellent coffee and great service highly recommended“

“We always enjoy a coffee taste from way South of the 2, 4, etc borders, plus many special items to share with a cappuccino, latte, etc. zits become very popular as it should but getting to it requires Google Maps

Vegetarian options: Very easy to discover many dinning breakfast options even for those with dietary concerns as a few in my party requires. We can’t say enough good things about this location, the helpful and very friendly staff. How I wished they were in our home town, but we’ll return every time we come to Edmonton, genuinely a special place to start the days there off on the right foot so to speak?“

“love this place. great baked goods and sandwiches and a fantastic caramel machiato“

“Excellent coffee, pastries, sandwiches and room.“

“Just started working downtown and wondered why I kept seeing people on jasper with these white cups with red lids. Finally tracked down that it was coffee bureau. Stepped inside and immediately knew I came to the right place. Ordered a latte and toasted bagel. Fresh Montreal bagels are the best. Good coffee, great people, fun atmosphere and the small shop has a cozy feel that is super welcoming. Big fan.“

“A friend and I went to Candid Coffee Roasters this morning and were so glad we did. I am a latte lover and had the best latte ever! Also a couple of stroopwafels. So yummy. (Be sure to have them lightly grilled.) Going back tomorrow with hubby.“

“Had a friend who knows just about everything that's cool to do or eat in this city take me here and I wasn't disappointed. The donuts are the goat. I can't wait to come back when the whole store opens up. might be the prettiest coffee and donut shop I've ever seen.“

“Awesome place!“

“This place is so vibey! I came to shoot some photos at the Confusionaires album release show, and I was really drawn in to the retro decor and great sound. It made for a really fun show!“

“I live in St.Albert but I go to Table Top because I like the setup, food and Brian (owner) and staff are fun and great at explaining the games.“

“I recommend Pact to anyone who is NOT celiac or gluten free due to allergies. But they are no longer a dedicated gluten free facility. Confirmed by restaurant themselves. "Unfortunately we are not completely gluten free anymore. after a high demand for non GF products, we have introduced a few to our cafe. We do take the sanitization of our work space very seriously."“

“Love this place. It's my Favorite cafe to visit with my mom. The team that works at this location are the most genuine and friendly people! It's become a routine spot for us because of the people that work here. Great coffee and croissants are the cherry on top!“

“A cute little cafe that has delicious treats and a lovely little artisan/gift gallery!“

“Hey now, this cafe is soooooo NAKED, I’m telling you… No, but really, this place has great cozy vibes, fabulous tea lattes made with love by Bob, and an excellent open mic every Thursday evening. Best of all is their inclusivity, in that nudity is not a requirement, which is great for me because I have never been naked (no, not even when I was born). Plus, as this is a public place, and public nudity is illegal, there’s that too. Worry not, readers, as no one here actually has their kit off, despite the name. Apologies to nudists seeking a suitable venue for their nudism.“

“My first visit was a delicious experience so I will be back. Tried the burek - so good! Took a slice of carrot cake home for dessert. Seriously the best carrot cake I’ve ever had! Friendly and kind service as well!“

“I like this place. I have never stayed to play games, but have been in twice for a hot drink and to check out the board games for purchase. This last time I was in with my son and husband, we were looking for some family games. The 2 guys working there this past Saturday were very helpful and had quite a few suggestions. We bought 2 of the games they suggested and a hot chocolate. We've already played both games and found them to be quite fun!“

“The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. All the cats are so chill, and love the affection and attention. The staff working the cafe were super friendly and great at explaining the process to enjoy the cats were treated with respect and safely. Also, the cafe itself had fantastic drinks! Although we cannot have a cat in our house due to a family member with allergies, it was great to support adoption by bringing the rest of my family to enjoy the kitties!“

“The place itself, the food! The ambiance! The people!“

“The best persian restaurant ever . good food , best taste and high quality . very educated staffs . strongly recommended . Thank you so much Reyhaneh for your excellent service as always 🙏“

“amazing service and fresh, fantastic quality food“

“Desserts are delicious and the greenery feels inside brings to a different level of experience. Bringing my family and friends back here.“

“The ladies who run the show are absolutely adorable and are so kind!! They have the basics like lattes, hot chocolate, Italian soda.. but they also have some seasonal specialty drinks which sound amazing! And some lovely baked good. Everything homemade. And there is so much space to sit and read or have a chat with friends. It is my go-to lunch spot!

Large enough to have a small work meeting too! You can book ahead if you need. :)“

“I only ordered a cup of Dark Chocolate Mocha. It’s good as a cup of Hot Chocolate since it has that depth, however, I don’t prefer it as a “Mocha”. I didn’t taste the blend of coffee and chocolate.

The barista present today was nice! She was accommodating and prompt.

I was also able to purchase a Hario V60 so it made the visit worthwhile.

I gave 4 stars for the atmosphere because it reminded me of a salon for some reason—probably too personal.“

“Best tasting coffee, delicious baked goods in a beautiful place,served by friendly people. Pet friendly with live music every Thursday morning. We love that place ❤️“

“My go to for donair & gyro. They season the bread & grill to crispy perfection. The chicken lemon fennel is so good & hard to find elsewhere. It used to have a reputation for soup nazi level service but has mellowed over the years“

“This cafe is simply charming! Such friendly and helpful folks running it and the atmosphere is chill and cozy. The food and drinks are DELICIOUS! They make their own chocolate and have local artisan gifts. It's my new go to place for everything! The construction in the area may look daunting but there is plenty of parking in the area surrounding it. Go!

Kid-friendliness: There are games and some toys for kids.“

“spectacular social market.“

“.: A friend and I have been frequenting Be Coffee for months. The menu is impressive and the coffee(s) are great. Staff couldn't be nicer if they tried. Deb and Jason have done a wonderful job making Be Coffee a "must see" destination for a nice hot cuppa joe!“

“Imported meats from Italy. Friendly staff. great tasting coffee.“

“Classic diner style breakfast done well. Food came out quick and pretty good value as well. If you don’t drink coffee let them know right away when you sit down as they serve up coffee pretty quick and you’ll get charged for it if you don’t say anything“

“So delicious!!! I stumbled across this gem on the uber app. Definately a local favourite now!!“

“Is a sterile looking place that also houses a pharmacy, the latte I had was standard, however the scone I indulged in was absolutely incredible. There is wifi and outlets to rejuice devices. Clean and minimalistic. I like it but it definitely lacks Hygge“

“What a gem of a place to get pretzels! Absolutely delicious!! I've ordered batches of the signature pretzels several times now for my events, and they're always fresh, authentic and tasty! The staff are also wonderful and accommodated my special order. Will for sure be back :)“

“Not overly crowded around 11:00am but busy enough to people watch. Great spot to work and fill your music bucket.

I got a flat white and the ham and cheese tartine, both fabulous. Twinkle lights are always a win for me :)“
