I had to go down to the restaurant to book the party and a second time to confirm the reservation, 2 days before the party. Service was good except we were rushed out of the restaurant after 2 hrs due to the staff needing tables for reservations after our group. Food presentation is top notch however the food itself is very mediocre for the price. I was also not impressed that they would not allow me to bring in our own birthday cake even though our total bill was close to $800. I give this restaurant a 3/5 stars

Friend & I went to the South side location for Sunday brunch to celebrate a 40th birthday. You…read moredefinitely go for / pay for the super pink / super flowery ambiance more than for the food, because for the super pricey $28 price point the food was fancy "sounding" but definitely not up to par on the plates put in front of us. We both ordered the Seaside Benny & hash browns; over medium which should have been 50/50 yolk set / yolk runny. Hashbrowns were just meh, the typical bagged cubes from Sysco & deep fried. Hollandaise was sparse and not really enough to even cover the also sparse seafood mixture (with canned crabmeat for $28?!?!) on plain bread (not brioche & not an English muffin). Better breakfast can be had at other places for sure. Service was fine but definitely a one time & one time only visit to channel the girly side. There was an extra jewelry / trinkets / gift merchandise selection for girls / women of all ages on display at the front. We both had $9 specialty coffees: a salted caramel pumpkin spiced latte & a cinnamon bun latte.

Happened to be in the area and wanted to try this one out…read more Lots of parking in the strip-mall communal parking lot. Lots to see and lots of board games. Place was 100% full 6PM so there wasn't room to play a game or too even if we wanted. I wanted the twist Ice cream but staff said they could not swirl it so he recommended the milkshake. BUT turns out he was wrong and they are able to twist the ice cream and so I paid more for no reason. We tried an Ice Cream and Milkshake - same toppings - oreo, brownie, cookie dough. Milkshake was 4/10 pretty bad. Super thin, like 1% milk thin, oreo cookie started to separate immediately (fall to the bottom). Cookie dough was either not added or so blended it got lost. Texture was Not good. Ice cream with same toppings was 8/10. Could find cookie dough in this one and ice cream was decent. NOTE staff did say it was his 3rd shift so I understand he is new but it was too bad I paid more for his lack of knowledge and query not accurate recipe as I do hope the milkshakes are better than the one I got.

The service was very friendly, they're a newer cafe so speed of service will likely come with time. The drinks were very tasty; my husband had the Chai-mander Latte, I had a Wyndon Fog (which may have been the best "London fog" I've ever had) and the kids had a Pika Juice. The decor was very cute and fun, they had an area to get pokemon trading cards, a shelf of games you can play while you're there, all in all a very fun place to be. I would've rated higher if they had more poké-menu items, when I read there was a pokemon themed cafe I got excited for a wide range of interesting pokemon themed coffee, tea, and treats, but the special menu selection was a little underwhelming.

This is the second time I popped into this cafe, both times I was greeted immediately and with a…read morefriendly smile. This location is adjacent to Grant MacEwan university and next door to Marvel college. What brought me in the second time was the sign that said half price coffee, and when it's -30 out all warm drinks are a must. This place is a hidden gem!! The first time I grabbed a quick lunch here of an Italian sandwich and the second this delicious creamy vanilla latte!! The bathroom is clean and perfect even for reading a book or cramming for a test. Best of all is the atmosphere of this cafe. Surrounded my motorcycles, this location is two floors...a great first date spot for students or caffeine lovers alike! I was so comfortable I almost left without paying haha!!! The barista provided my airy head with a smile and just asked me how I liked my latte as I was heading out. A+ service!!!

Everything here was great. My husband and I were here for Food for the Soul week, and for $10.00…read more(which included pop) this was the best meal we had that week. Even at full price (which I think was 16 bucks) is still great value. The menu is fairly standard for a Jamaican restaurant - jerk chicken, pulled pork, some salads, and a fish meal. However it is done properly. My chicken was tender and juicy, and full of flavour. They did not skimp on the sauce. It came with rice and beans which were hearty and cooked properly and a crunchy coleslaw. On Saturdays they have oxtail which i would like to try. They also have hot sauce for sale and jerk sauce which I took both of them home with me. Service was great. Person behind the counter was super friendly. Pretty minimalist in atmosphere, but clean and welcoming. I will come here again.

You know what? I'm really glad that I came here for a ten dolla deal during the event. The food was…read moreample, tasty and the atmosphere was great. Sure there were more takeout orders than eat in, but you could really feel the Jamaican island vibes when visiting here to eat. I'll definitely return again sometime to try more of the menu.

We don't visit Brown Butter Cafe as often as we used to because there are other cafes that are…read morecloser to home. However, every now and then we have a craving for the best breakfast bun in Edmonton and we come back. All of the food here is delicious and somewhat unique. We tend to favour the bunwich (their unique breakfast sandwich) but other sandwiches and bowls are quite fine too. Recently I ordered the BLT and it was packed full of well fried bacon. My wife prefers the bowls as Brown Butter will make any sandwich into a bowl. Service is quick and friendly. They could use more tables though as we have come and been unable to find a table. At least there's normally a couple of spots at the window so we can find a place to sit. The prices are average and reasonable so I can still highly recommend this unassuming cafe to anyone (unless you are looking for fries and a burger).

You can get your seasonal shots and then sit back and reward yourself with a bubble waffle, pastry or just a coffee. When Awake first opened I thought that a pharmacy and cafe was a weird combination, but they were ahead of their time. Today, a Tuesday, it's quite busy and we got one of the last tables. I could tell that others were here for the same combination as us. Awake has a small menu with just their bubble waffles and pasties but otherwise it's a fine place to stop for a break or to pick up a prescription.

My photo doesn't do it justice because it was packed full of tender marinated beef. It was some of the best beef I've tasted in a long time. I think that this was just recently added to the menu because it was on a piece of paper taped to the wall menu. Hopefully it will be a permanent addition to the menu. My partner had a ham, egg and cheese sandwich and she enjoyed it too. Consistent with my first review, Monacci Coffeehouse is an excellent place for lunch or breakfast. It's fairly quiet, which is nice. Staff are friendly and serve is quick.

Cute little cafe & even with limited windows has the impression that it's bright & clean. Friendly service but I got the impression from the empty display & everyone looking like they were finishing up that things were closing (even though the hours online state much later). Thus I didn't ask about their unique options beyond what was available for cold & hot drinks nor did I sit down. Selected a hot white chocolate and my tongue has confirmed it needs more than the walk to the vehicle to cool off kind of hot. Perfect for the drive back home.

I was really excited to try this little cafe. It's attached to an art studio for kids which I…read morethought was really neat...but it looks like they have a bit of a clash where people picking up their kids are just hanging out in the cafes seating area and they don't like it... I think it would be nicer if they collaborated more and maybe even had some the art displayed here. But the K-pop tribute is interesting too. I was also looking at their menu and came for the croffle but they were out. Apparently it's very popular so they didn't have any. Sad face. I was encouraged to try the Hotteok (brown sugar pancake - Korean) which the aroma was amazing and it was so sweet and crunchy with the walnuts inside. I also had the sweet iced pumpkin latte, but it didn't have as much pumpkin flavor as I had hoped. I also couldn't see the bathroom or signs for it.
