Kaffa Roaster and studio, located in Edmonton's neighbourhood of Garneau, is a cozy coffee shop…read morewhere you can enjoy food and drinks. The coffee shop's location is on the second floor of the building (right next door to the restaurant Sugarbowl), and offers an awesome view of the North Saskatchewan river, downtown / Jasper Ave on one side, and the Garneau neighborhood on the other side. The place is filled with antique furniture, wooden floors, but also a touch of modern style as well. With the decor, the smell of coffee, along with the presence of coffee drinkers and enthusiasts, Kaffa is very inviting and a great place to drink coffee, eat and be with someone (or by oneself). Kaffa has its own coffee roasting machine on location - so I hope you can imagine the smell of coffee is very much present here at Kaffa!!! It's very nice. Kaffa, both a derivative and coffee region in Ethiopia, also sells their roasted coffee, and tea as well. Ethiopia, as well as a few Central American countries, provide beans for the roastery. Kaffa also offers art space for local artists, but music concerts as well. Anyone with questions or inquiries can contact Kaffa (their email address is on their website, kaffaroasterystudio.com).

Edmonton is a city that has no shortage of coffee culture. You don't have to look very far to find…read morea hip cafe or a specialty roaster - they're practically on every block. However, not many have grown and expanded quite the way that The Colombian has. I also don't think that anyone else can say that they get their beans from their own family farm... In Colombia. At the helm of the business? Thee actual Colombian himself, Santiago Lopez along with partner Kristin Panylyk. They opened their first full-service coffee shop with a roastery on site in 2018 - this flagship shop still operates today in Glenora and its where all of the beans get roasted. The business has now expanded to seven locations, including one in Saskatoon, each one acting as a hub in its respective community. EDify Magazine named The Colombian as Best Coffee 2025 and there's certainly no disputing the amount of impact that this Edmonton success story has had on the city's coffee scene. I visited the original Glenora location on a sunny Saturday afternoon and you cannot miss The Colombian's signature marquee signage that lets you know (in lights) that you are in the right place for coffee. The cafe was absolutely bumpin' with every table occupied and a long queue to place orders. Santiago Lopez was buzzing around the space greeting customers and taking the time to give detailed bean recommendations. The vibe is fresh and modern with light woods and black accents. The cafe certainly feels like the place to be on a weekend afternoon and I can only imagine that the rest of their six locations are exactly the same. (In fact, their Parkallen spot happens to be my "neighbourhood cafe" but I usually like to visit the OG when I'm writing.) While the interior of the cafe was quite busy, I found solace outside on the adjoining patio. I will admit right away that I am not much of a coffee purist but I do know what I like. I could order a latte or a mocha but I almost always gravitate toward the seasonal drinks menu (if there is one). These menus are usually where you'll find interesting flavours and creative ideas from the baristas - which is what I'm always on the lookout for. On this visit The Colombian was serving up an Orange Blossom Latte (Cardamom and fresh orange syrup, espresso, steamed milk. Floral and bright - $7.25 for regular size) which fit my desire perfectly. Served with a classic latte art look, this might have been my favourite drink that I've ever gotten at The Colombian! Not only could I taste the coffee, a nice robust roast, but the warming cardamom and hint of orange was very enjoyable. Not too sweet, not too bitter. The balance was just right and this felt like the type of latte that I could see myself ordering again and again. A pleasure! The Colombian offers more than only coffee and you'll also find a food menu. Most items lean toward breakfast but there are some sandwiches as well. I've been a fan of their Loxocado (a smoked salmon avocado toast) in the past but unfortunately it no longer appears on the menu. In its absence I chose the Avocado Toast (Avocado, cilantro, garlic, onion, lime, walnut oil, hempseed - $12.00) with an egg added ($1.50). Crusty bread was well-coated in a thick layer of smashed avocado and I really enjoyed the citrus notes to boost the flavour. Very bright and fresh! The textural elements were great too. I cut into the poached egg expecting a satisfying cascade of golden yolk but sadly the yolk had been cooked through. None the less, a decent avocado toast. However, I definitely missed the Loxocado version. Lastly, I was excited to try their Colombian Guava Croissant (Pastry stuffed with guava filling - $4.50). This reminded me a lot of the Empanadas Queso y Guava that I often get from Paraiso Tropical. I thought that it was very cool that they found a way to make a cafe version of this - a croissant instead of an empanada. I was very impressed by this tasty pastry! Not only was the croissant deliciously buttery but the sweet and jammy guava filling really helped to add a playful Latin spin. It's really nice to see some menu items that actually reflect the Colombian heritage - a great accompaniment to the coffee! The Colombian has set their focus on so much more than running multiple coffee shops. The heart of the business is all about sourcing sustainable, traceable, fairly priced beans. But there's more! They offer coffee subscriptions, fundraisers, and even coffee classes. They've got a blog. They've got a podcast. Plus there's a specialty coffee shop on wheels called The Coffee Mule that can be rented for events. Is there anything that The Colombian can't do?? It doesn't seem so. This Edmonton coffee mogul is impressive to say the least and there's probably a cozy cafe location right near where you live. Why not pop in and grab a latte?

I ordered the regular Vanilla Latte with oat milk and my boyfriend got the large Mocha with oat milk. The lady taking our orders was friendly and nice. And they served our drinks right to our table. I absolutely loved my latte. It was creamy, robust, and very smooth. One of the smoothest lattes I've ever had. The oat milk complemented the espresso well. It had the perfect sweetness level. The Mocha was pretty tasty as well. It had a rich chocolate-y flavor. My latte was so well-done that my boyfriend kept stealing sips from my drink. We had a great time at this place and I can't wait to visit again.

Love the eclectic charm and the variety of intimate seating areas the Cafe offers. The owner, Heather, went above & beyond to make this night special for everyone attending. She is so hospitable and truly has a love for what she does, you can see it with her smile and taste it in the food & drinks her Cafe offers. We had great communication with her before and during the event, she worked with us in everyway, from the event price, to food choices & drinks, setup of event, and was extremely flexible on giving us what we wanted to make this night special. From the variety of fresh sandwiches, desserts, fruit, vegetables, and water/coffee/drink areas setup, everyone was beyond impressed. Great variety of delicious sandwiches, the lemon squares are so good here, and I highly recommend Cafe Haven's carrot cake, very flavourful, moist and it has the best icing topping it off. The food at this place is incredible and there is heart put into everything made here. Thank you Cafe Haven for the unforgettable event, and I highly recommend this Cafe for anyone needing an event location or a relaxing place to chill with a huge variety of great food & drinks.

Met up with a friend on a weekday morning. It wasn't packed but had enough traffic to generate a positive energy. There were a few people just sitting by themselves doing some readings, a group of ladies gathering at the bit long table, and a few groups of people hanging what looked like business meetings. There was just enough noise to make it comfortable to chat without worrying if we were disturbing others! The space is bright and has ample seatings. Easy parking and friendly staff are always a plus. I ordered a large latte, which was much bigger than what you would get at most other places. The coffee was good and they had a good selection of baked goods. I got a Danish but was too busy talking that by the time I took my first bite, it was a bit cold so it wouldn't be fair for me to comment on the pastry other than it was crispy! I don't believe the pastries are made in house but it's always nice to have some food options with your coffee! They also serve flatbreads, which I'm interested in trying next time. My friend ordered the lavender and honey latte, which sounded really good except she said it was too sweet for her. But for those that prefer a sweeter beverage, it sounds like a tasty choice!
