District Café & Bakery

We came here in the late morning. The cafe was semi-busy and filled with a bunch of people but there was still ample room for us. They have a bunch of things on their menu: from sandwiches, a large assortment of baked goods, and of course coffee and tea. It's a nice breakfast spot with alot of options.

We ordered the Tuna Fish and Chips, a Pistachio Rose croissant, and we got two matchas. I got the Strawberry Matcha with oat milk and my boyfriend got the regular matcha.

I really liked the food that we ordered. Upon first glance, the Tuna sandwich looked small but I was surprised by how much filling it had. The tuna salad filling inside was absolutely delicious. Also all their pastries in the display looked beautiful, but once I locked eyes with the Pistachio Rose croissant, it was over lol. It was splendid. The nutty and floral notes combined with the flaky, light, buttery texture of the croissant? Chef's kiss. And not only this, but the croissant had a pistachio filling inside! That croissant really was the gift that keeps on giving.

However the Strawberry Matcha downgraded the overall experience for me. I don't know if it's the combination of oat milk and not enough matcha flavor, but I couldn't stomach my drink. It tasted like too much milk, barely any matcha, and the strawberry syrup. I honestly felt a little nauseous and I was forcing myself to drink it because I paid for it. I felt bad and didn't know if I could ask if they could remake it. I only drank 25% of my drink then tossed it in the trash. My boyfriend's matcha was infinitely way better and what a matcha latte should taste like. He tried mine and said that the strawberry matcha he ordered two weeks ago was way better, which is why he recommended it today.

I wouldn't order the Strawberry Matcha just because it's a gamble depending on who's making it and what it will taste like, but I'd order a regular matcha or latte instead. Loved the food though, and the ambiance was so pretty inside.

I ordered a strawberry matcha thinking that I’d be getting some form of physical strawberry in it. Girl dropped off a regular looking matcha and said “matcha” so I went up to the counter to double check and one girl politely clarified that it wouldn’t be red/pink as it was just syrup. And another snapped “it is” and was super unpleasant. This was also the barista that made it. Totally cool but then I tried it and it tasted like a strawberry scented eraser and was so sickly sweet I couldn’t even finish it. The strawberry was fake and just way over powering you couldn’t even taste the matcha. Overall super disappointed with the quality after paying almost 9 dollars

Been going here for a while and it’s always been good!

Love this place staff is always super friendly great neighborhood Cafe i feel like fam whenever I visit

One of my fav cafés in yeg. Quality bagels and lattes that have stayed the same since their og days! Wish they stayed open a bit later.

Overall a great stop for coffee and pastries. The coffee is a 4/5 while the pastries (almond croissant and sourdough biscuit) are a 5/5. Very busy and simple cafe.

Came in to this place to try it out today and got the bacon sandwich on an everything bagel, it was honestly amazing and fresh tasting with a nice arugula to compliment the sandwich. Service was excellent and the vibes were what an establishment should aim to be. 10/10 will definitely be returning.

One of the best tomato soups I ever had. I would definitely recommend this place if you are downtown and want a bright and refreshing spot to eat.

Great coffee shop and bakery with food in downtown Edmonton. A must stop on every visit.

Great spot for lunch

Amazing coffee ❤️

I've come here a few times and have always found the coffee and baked goods to be great quality!

The staff are friendly and very quick, and when I have extra time in the mornings I like to grab a pastry for work. I also really enjoy the cute latte art when I dine in!

I really enjoy their pain au chocolat, blueberry corn muffin, and anything apricot! I have not had their breakfast sandwiches but those will be on my to-try list for my next visit :).

I'd highly recommend trying this cafe, especially if you bring some friends to sample a few goodies with! However, try to come early if you want to see their full selection of baked goods before they are sold out.

Fantastic coffee. I also had a mini pir for pie day - no word of a lie, best pie I've ever tasted. The pastry was to die for.

A local hidden gem! Love the atmosphere, very friendly staff and great place over all. One of the best matchas I’ve had in Edmonton. For sure will be back! Ps. Great prices too

Large and well made croissants reminded me of France. I was very happy with the atmosphere and quality of the food. This is an exceptional cafe.
