Edmonton coffee shops with a cult following
If hooking up a caffeine IV drip isn’t an option, then these Edmonton coffee places are the best choices for perking up your morning. With beans roasted just right, syrups made in-house and a variety of non-dairy options, these spots will convert even the most hard-core tea drinker.
Remedy Cafe
10279 Jasper Ave NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1X8This licensed coffee shop boasts the best chai lattes in the city, thanks to their housemade chai syrup. Available iced or hot, with soy, almond or cow’s milk, these lattes filled a hole in my heart I didn’t even know existed. And I’m not alone — with a fifth location opening in Terwillegar soon, Remedy fever has officially taken over the city. If you’re not a fan of caffeine, their Kashmiri chai lattes, made from pistachios, are just as delectable.
Credo Coffee
10134 104 St NW, Edmonton AB T5J 1A7One of the coolest spots on 104th, just off of Jasper Avenue, Credo is always, always packed. It’s a good thing they finally opened up a second location, on the popular 124th Street strip. Credo is always overflowing with trendy artists, writers and students with laptops, and friends discussing life over lattes. While it’s not somewhere you go for a quiet afternoon alone, it’s always worth stopping by to get an almond milk mocha to go, or staying to people watch.
Transcend Coffee
8708 109 Street NW, Edmonton AB T6G 1E9Transcend roasts their own craft coffee beans and sells them to various outlets around the city and beyond. But they also have several locations throughout Edmonton that are worth stopping by. Their coffee may actually be the smoothest I have ever tasted – even the most beginner barista can’t screw it up. It’s always easy to tell when you’re drinking a latte made from Transcend beans. A blind-folded taste test, you say? Bring it on. I’ll pass every time.
