It was very good and my wife enjoyed her bowl as well. It's a great neighbourhood breakfast and lunch place. The service was a bit spotty, but I think they were understaffed. Portion sizes were very good and the price was fair. We'll be back here, no doubt about it. We returned here for our second visit today. My mish mash omelette was quite bland. Our server was pleasant but essentially absent - no coffee or water refills until we were ready to leave. After this 2nd visit I would probably give no more than a 4.

I'm always up for a little journey out of town in the name of food and that's precisely what my…read morerecent visit to the city of Leduc was all about. Fifteen minutes (or so) south of the city makes Leduc feel more like a suburb and very much a part of the greater Edmonton area. It didn't take me much convincing to jump in the car when I heard that a little cafe was home to the Best Dessert 2024 as named by EDify Magazine. What delicious secrets were being kept in Leduc and how could I taste them?? Step one is to drive yourself to Leduc, which I did on a Saturday morning. While nearby, I haven't spent a whole lot of time in Leduc and found myself pleasantly surprised when the navigation took me to a quaint and cute small-town-style main street area. I really don't think that I'd ever been there before. Sweet little independent shops lined both sides of the street, lending to an idyllic pedestrian experience. Shopping areas like these always feel good to stroll through. Leduc Coffee Shop is located within two other stores; Magpies Collection and Playing For Keeps Toys. So don't get confused when you enter into a retail space; home decor and gifts on the left and children's toys on the right. Head to the back of the store and keep going until you find yourself surrounded by bistro tables and can smell the coffee. The space is cozy and cafe-like with chocolate-coloured walls and pieces of local art as decoration. I noted that each table was adorned with a vase of fresh flowers - a lovely touch. I also noticed a very adorable China cabinet filled with antique cups and saucers. The idea is that you can choose your own teacup to use, select your tea of choice, and then sit down to enjoy! What a beautiful idea that only adds to the experience! I was surprised by how large the menu is - the whole thing is posted right on the wall and it's huge both in physical size and in terms of content. In the end, the offerings include; drinks, eats, and sweets n treats. If you're looking for visual guidance most of the food items are on display in the glass case, which is helpful. I knew that I wanted to order a coffee-based beverage - it is a coffee shop after all - and I was delighted to find a special "Winter Drinks" menu. I am someone who loves a seasonal beverage, to the point of ordering off of these types of menus almost exclusively. I just like trying new things and enjoying flavours that compliment the season. This menu included six different choices, each sounding perfectly appropriate for the winter. The Gingerbread Spiced Mocha (Espresso, white chocolate, topped with whip cream & cinnamon) stood out to me, which I ordered in the small size. The girl at the counter was pleasant and got to work on preparing our drinks and eats. The drink looked like everything that I wanted it to be (AKA more like dessert than coffee) but unfortunately the flavour didn't really hit the mark for me. It mostly just tasted like a mediocre, watered down cup of coffee and didn't deliver on all of the gingerbread and spice and mocha that was promised. It just seemed like this coffee was supposed to have a lot of exciting stuff going on and I felt disappointed as I sipped it. The food menu includes a whole array of sandwiches that look really appetizing - many on croissants or bagels. And each sandwich is served with a side of corn chips which is something that I can totally get behind! I would recommend taking a look in the case and choosing whatever appears the most delicious on that particular day. However, I was visiting for one item and one item only: the Orange Bun ($3.50). This is the current best dessert in the Edmonton area and I couldn't wait to try it. These golden twirly rounds are baked in-house from scratch using real butter. The orange buns are served warm and seem to be a member of the cinnamon roll family. I know that this isn't a popular opinion but I'm not much of a cinnamon roll fan (unless we're talking about the ones at Sugarbowl, in which case I love them). This, however, is not a cinnamon roll. The homemade dough is hand-stretched every morning and the freshness is evident in every bite. There's a gooey mix of orange zest and coconut within every warm layer, bringing a sweet and unique flavour all its own. I loved this comforting bun, like something that a grandma would make. The flavour of the dough itself was almost the best part because it wasn't too sweet and it held the orange and coconut together so well. An absolute delight! I totally understand why this orange bun is on the foodie radar. It's wonderful that a little cafe like this, off the beaten path, is getting some notice. The food is the highlight at Leduc Coffee Shop but it would be nice if the coffee beverages were up to the same level. Delivering every bit the cozy cafe experience, this is the type of space that you'll be happy to spend some time in.

Stopped in today with my niece and nephew who are "regulars" at this coffee shop. As soon as we…read morewalked in we were welcomed by the owner, in a very comfortable and inviting atmosphere! The owner also has a little gift shoppe going on in there too! We each got very different coffees, and I was very impressed with the quality of coffee and the time it took to make them! We tried her fresh baked cinnamon buns, cookies and blueberry scones! So yummy!! She also conversed with us which was nice, and made the experience much more personal! I cannot wait to come back, definitely better than any of the chain coffee shops and friendlier than a lot of the locally owned and operated ones! I know the owner by name, that is a rarity! So happy we stopped in!!

Stopped in here for a coffee while passing through the city. While Fionas is a lovely little store,…read moreI found the quality of coffee to be somewhat lacking. The lady in front of me ordered a latte, and I watched the steam wand get put in the milk, turned on and set down before the barista hustled about with other activities. Forget microfoam or latte art - it's just a crapshoot if you'll even get steamed to the right temperature. I ordered an Americano (no steaming) and it was served quickly and correctly. What it had in service it lacked in quality. The espresso was weak and a little bland and even my 14 oz. cup nearly drowned out the shot. Nice restaurant, good place to work, lovely art. The coffee is not for coffee lovers though. Suggestions for management: train (or hire) real baristas. I liked The idea of single origin beans, but what you had was lacking. Update: I stopped in and just ordered a regular coffee. Again, the lady working was lovely, but the coffee left something to be desired.

The Woodrack Cafe is a small locally owned and operated coffee shop. They have two locations, one…read morein Edmonton on 83 Ave and this one inside the Outlet Mall by the airport. They're inside the Share Market (along with Magpies Gifts and Potato Corner) at Door 1. Right now Woodrack is the only coffeeshop in the mall since the Starbucks in the food court shutdown. And I think it's great Woodrack is here because they're a nice local coffeeshop. I've come here several times to have a coffee. The lattes are great and as someone who's lactose-intolerant I appreciate the plant-based milk options they have (oat milk is my favourite). They have some breakfast and lunch options, and baked goods. These can change, but if the cinnamon bun is there you can't go wrong with that. They also have a selection of beer and wine (only place to have an alcoholic beverage in the mall). Staff is always friendly.and the owner she's a gem. I will say there's often only one person working, so there may be the occasion when there's a bit of a lineup, but it's never anything major. I always like stopping here for a coffee and look forward to my next caffeine fix from The Woodrack Cafe.

And their name lives up to the freshness that everything has! No seating but this place definitely is more of a come and grab what you need and go home to enjoy your perfect loaves. Unfortunately when we went their bread slicer was down, but that didn't stop me from buying a few loaves! I got a loaf of the cheese bread and the cinnamon raisin bread. The cheese loaf was a little on the small side but it has a delightful amount of cheese. But the cinnamon raisin loaf is divine! So many raisins and very tasty- perfect morning, mid morning, afternoon, evening...okay okay I have it all day long it's that good! If you like raisins that is! We also tried a garlic stick for around $1 and it was surprisingly tender and VERY fresh! Not too garlicky for the kids, but we enjoyed it so much I should have bought more. Would have liked to have see a deal on these if you order a bunch. Pastries looked delightful as well so next time I may have to hit those up! Plenty of parking out front, but no bathroom or seating. We came super early on a weekday so it looked like everything was available.

Wish there was a few designated stalls for this bakery. Clean store. No dine-in. Lots of items were already sold out but they did still have a good selection. Cashier was very friendly. I tried the blueberry and apple butterscotch scones. Blueberry was 10/10. So moist, soft, and cake-like. Apple one was very bland, could not taste the apple or butterscotch. So happy prices and sign and legible and accurate. If I am ever back in the area I would love to try their Chia Sunflower Flax Sourdough bread and the Cheese bread!

We also ordered a herb and garlic pastry. After paying, we were told it was still in the oven. Instead of being asked to wait, we felt pressured to take a croissant instead, even though we weren't clearly told we would need to wait about five minutes. The same staff member handling the order came across as unhelpful, and the overall service felt rushed and unfriendly. Overall, the communication wasn't clear and the experience didn't feel very customer-friendly. I hope this feedback helps improve service in the future.
