This coffee house originated on 104 Street in Edmonton but its popularity has spilled over to a second location, on 124 Street. Its opening in summer of 2014 was highly anticipated by the business crowd, especially those who work just a little too far away from the original location. Their vanilla almond milk lattes are to die for, as are their many other coffee concoctions. They also sell bags of the Intelligentsia beans they brew in-house.
This café opened up in 2014 in the space that was formerly Dahlia’s Mediterranean Bistro. The café, which serves up Indian food with a North American influences, keeps the street jumping with lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos and espresso – not to mention plenty of Chai latte options. In summertime, sip on an iced latte to temper the heat from the restaurant’s popular butter chicken dish.
Their Chai lattes are amazing but don’t overlook the regular lattes or other kinds of coffee – they brew every bean with love and the results are amazing.

Whether you’re grabbing a mocha latte to go or settling in for the long haul with an espresso, you’ll find yourself drawn to this spot day after day.
