Credo is my morning soul mate. Fantastic coffee, a good space, and tasty baked goods. My morning regimen is an almond milk americano misto and a morning glory muffin- and it has never wronged me. Even though it's further than what should be my morning coffee stop, I make the extra blocks happen to get to Credo. read more

I had hope that this place would have great a great latte. Their logo is about the only thing good I could find here. First walking in I noticed their place seemed disorganized and dirty. Only one staff behind the counter an a couple others way in the back. No one making coffee? Hmm couldn't be a good sign when no one is making drinks. After we ordered we sat down to wait, still no one making drinks. I visit the mens room, come back, still no coffee and a surley wife. I told the manager we ordered and now I have the pleasure of dealing with an angry barrista who had to be pulled off her precious break. Not my fault she didn't fill the order before going on her break. So down to the coffee. When you drink soy you take chances, I get that part. Good places use soy meant for latte's whereas bad places use soy from the grocery store. The price difference is so minimal that it astounds me anyone wouldn't use the good stuff. Unless they just don't care. Which is exactly how I felt. They just don't care. We dumped the coffee and went to trancend. Sorry credo we won't ever be back. read more

Credo is another one of the independent coffee shops popping up all over the city. Sparsely decorated and furnished, most of the patrons can be seen sitting with their laptops taking advantage of the free wireless. Outside are a few tables. Credo serves Intelligentsia coffee, which is like of like fair trade. The coffee is brewed fresh to order and the espresso drinks are made with care. It's quite interesting to watch the barristas measuring shots and mixing the steamed milks with the espresso. The place smells wonderful and the coffee tastes incredible. I had a plain cup of coffee and the flavour was robust and rich. Although somewhat expensive for a coffee shop - a plain cup of coffee is $2.25 and most of the espresso drinks run around $4 - Credo is well worth a visit as often as the wallet allows. Slightly off the beaten path downtown, the atmosphere is creative. Caffeine inspires. read more

Credo meets all the criteria of a great coffee shop: clean space, friendly staff, great-tasting baked goods, supportive of local artists, good location and, most importantly, quality coffee. I lived in Toronto for a few years, and fell in love with Intelligentsia coffee. It was a pleasant surprise to find a YEG cafe that uses Intelligentsia beans. This place is usually quite busy, and with good reason. The owners and staff are very knowledgeable, detail-oriented and provide great customer service. There is no air of pretension here. I really have nothing but good things to say about this place. In my opinion, they make the best soy latte in town -- creamy and smooth. read more

Mmmmm mmmm good.......is the only description that their espresso is in need of. I love their lattes, I've NEVER had one that was off (burned) not one, and I have had many. If you get their early enough they have freshly baked oatmeal chocolate chip cookie which are chewy chocolate goodness! It's a lovely space, their drinks are bomb, and the treats are very close to great as well. Get in there and have a latte. Cheers. read more

Great coffee shop, great location, great parking. The service is quick and the quality of coffee is awesome. Yes the prices are a bit on the high side but the quality of product is worth it so no complaints here. They also serve lots of product from local, surrounding businesses which is something I think is awesome. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5? Minimal seating. It can be hard to get a group of 3 or 4 and all have a chair. Other than that, thumbs up. Great work, Credo. read more

From the first day I walked into Credo, I have felt completely welcomed and wanted as a customer to this establishment. The owner himself remembered me after the first time I came in and all the staff truly care about their job and about the people who join them on a daily basis for a coffee.. The lattes, single cup coffee, granola, iced lattes and muffins are incredible.. And I truly love the atmosphere here.. It is a "true" coffee shop in every sense of the word... One of the many I've been to I hope sticks around for a long long time. read more

Credo is a very mod little coffee place. They make each drink with care. The atmosphere is perfect for a little urban coffee hangout place. Warning though, for those of you who love to modify your drinks at Starbucks (sugarfree, tall in venti cup, etc.), the folks at Credo don't take kindly to people wanting to change up their drinks! I asked for a regular sugarfree mocha in a large cup filled with hot water. Couldn't do sugarfree, and apparently it's against their policy to add hot water to an original drink. But she gave me hot water in a cup and told me I could add what I wanted. And I paid 5.75 for a regular. That being said, it was quite delicious!!! read more

If you are looking for some really great coffee downtown that isn't Starbucks or Tim Horton's then I highly suggest you try Credo. They have really good coffee and they take their time with it so be ready to wait a little bit to get your drink. It is worth the wait trust me. It's a cool place to hang out as well. They have the cool atmosphere of a modern. It feels really urban. I have found it draws the same type of crowd. Young up and comers. read more

Credo is a coffee shop that just opened in the redeveloped 104st downtown. It offers free wireless and fair trade coffee. Any time I have been in here it has been about half full with many people sitting on their laptops sipping a drink I can't necessarily pronounce. I just started drinking coffee recently and am eager to try all that is out there. Unfortunately, as far as my limited coffee experience can tell, the coffee here is not the best it could be. I am going to try it again to make sure the one cup of Espresso I had wasn't just a fluke courtesy of a barrista having a bad day. This is a nice place to sit in the afternoon or evening with a friend or quite comfortably by yourself. Although I recommend the tea over the coffee so far. read more

If I could, I would give this place 4.5 stars. I love popping in here before going to work. Great coffee, great ambience and great service. Not a ton of seating so depending when you go, you may have a difficult time finding a seat. While I wait for my coffee, I often peruse the event cards on the counter to see what is happening in the city. I like that and that they also support other local businesses in the neighborhood. It's a great addition to 104st and the developing neighborhood. read more

I've had a chance to spend a couple of hours here in the past week. This seems like a great place to sit and read a book, do some homework or have a quiet conversation. My americano misto with almond milk was perfect down to the beautiful latte art and tea is steeped in cute little kettles. One of the baristas overheard I was new to the city and welcomed me which was super nice and totally unexpected. Because of the great drinks and service I've now been here twice this week. read more

My favourite cup of coffee in the city. I really enjoyed their cold brew the other day - and their chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are fantastic; if you can get one! read more

I had best corn cheddar muffin there (a 5 star) But I also had the worst London fog ever... The tea was non existent it also had zero vanilla flavour to it... It tasted like water down milk... I didn't taste it till I was to far to go back or I'm sure they would have fixed it Customers service was great and place had a great vibe to it I'm going to give this place another try just based on that muffin alone read more

If you have not been here- stop what you are doing and go. Now! I am a certified caffeine addict, 12 steps are being looked into. Unfortunately now- I am a Credo addict. Taste one of their amazing whole milk lattes and you will understand why. It's not just the lattes though, everything is delectable and of a different kind of quality than one might expect from a coffee shop. The staff are great, friendly and warm which is clearly a reflection on the owners who are normally around helping do whatever is required of a busy popular coffee spot. All in all the place is great, and anyone with the means to get downtown should go! read more

Credo is wonderful! The latte is the best, most flavourful and creamy I've had. It's all that I ever order here, really, but it's perfect enough to warrant a 5-star rating as I imagine any other beverage that shares its coffee base would be just as good! The space is open and light. It gets crowded at times, so plan your visit carefully and don't necessarily expect to get a spot (either inside or on the patio) during peak hours, which appear to be weekday mornings and during the farmer's market on 104 Street on summer Saturdays. If you have visitors with you, be sure to show them Credo (and the rest of 104 Street)! read more

I have lived in Edmonton, on and off, for the better part of 13 years. I very mug enjoy my coffee and tea and tend to stray from the chain stores due to their corporate feel and taste. I am a military member an a part time Starbucks barista. This would suggest I would drink timmies (no thanks! Hard pass) and strbucks (it's yummy but it's nothing to write home about). Don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks, but for a refreshing tea experience, Credo all the way!!!! Hands down their london fog is to die for, greatest, freshest and best beverage in the city! They steep the tea before putting it in your mug, so you don't have to worry about leaving the bag in too long and getting a harsh bitter taste (yuck) they use real vanilla root and no fake white sugar. They don't dilute the latte with half a cup of water, they use fresh steamed milk. And to top it off they do a beautiful Rosetta (cool tip, that's what the fern like pattern is called in lattes). So if you want to feel your whole body and mind relax with one sip, go to Credo! And if you have a sweet tooth, try the creme brule truffle :) Xoxo KCCO read more

I have a weakness for coffee shops, but Credo is truly a standout in Edmonton. Quick and friendly service, quality goods, presto! I adore their lattes and baked goods. It's too busy to really hunker down and do work in, but it is what it is. I wish this was less well-known so I could spend my whole day taking up a table and not feel guilty. That's how great the atmosphere is. If you can stay AND you can find a seat, seize the opportunity! read more

First and only time there so far, as usual, I ordered their regular drip coffee. It's usually how I assess the quality of any coffee shop - the idea of back to basics. The coffee, frankly, wasn't as impressionable as the space itself. My fiance got their loose leaf 'citrus ginger' tea and said it was very good and refreshing. I can definitely see why this is a hip place to be given its location and am willing to give it a few more chances to prove why so many of my friends enjoy this place so much. read more

I picked up two vanilla lattes and was surprised that I was charged 75 cents extra per coffee for requesting soy milk instead of cows milk. I don't feel like there should be a penalty for choosing the ethical choice. I didn't get soy milk plus cows milk, I got it instead of. The lattes were tasty but very small. At $15 for two small lattes I won't be coming very often; it is just too expensive. read more

Thanks to Russell B I made my way down to try Credo out. I ordered a double shot large latte with a pear spice muffin. I had a frustrating morning and this definitely turned it around. Thanks Credo! read more

Credo Coffee - Double shot latte and a pear spice muffin. Match made in heaven! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

The cafe is very beautiful but the service not so much , my friend and i were visiting from Calgary and we wanted to experience good coffee and a sandwich. The staff at the restaurant next door were very kind directing us to Credo their adjoining coffee shop, saying that we could eat sandwiches there. But the gentleman tending Credo had no idea that the coffee shop he worked for (Credo) even had sandwiches for sale. He had to double check plus he overcharged us 8 dollars or so for our meal. When we asked him for napkins he pointed at a dispenser on the other side of the coffee shop instead of getting us some. I tried calling the cafe and left my number to talk directly to someone but noone ever called me back, I am leaving one star for the very nice design of this cafe and for the gals who work in the other restaurant next door. read more

What do you want in a latte? Crema? Smooth espresso? Art? Credo consistently delivers; especially when Chelsea (the little dark haired girl) is on the machine. Plus, the morning glory muffins are addicting! read more

Tucked away in the cute 104 St block of the brick buildings that surround the Saturday downtown farmers market - Credo is a great place to stop in and grab a coffee to take a mid market break. I've been to Credo for coffee several times. Usually I get my coffee to go, and the staff always get my order right, the service is always prompt and friendly, and the coffee is always fresh, hot, and exactly what I want... unless I order it iced then it's not hot but still delicious. I'm also pleased that they offer an 8 oz option for those days when you'd love a latte but would like to keep the morning liquid volume consumption at a minimum. I've also had some of their baked goods, love the cookies. The also offer local Jacek chocolates which once you try them will entice you to wander down the street to the stand alone chocolate boutique. Most of all - this cafe is located in an amazing neighbourhood - it's a happening part of Edmonton that you will certainly want to check out and when you're out exploring - cute cafes are very important! read more

Great local coffee shop! Friendly staff, reasonable price, great teas (haven't tried coffee yet, but will soon), and other baked goods. Tea comes in a pot - which is plenty for 3 cups. Will return! read more

A very bright, high-ceilinged, open space with comfortable seating and high windows, situated very conveniently right beside the LRT and just off Jasper. Their coffee is Intelligentsia and quite nice, and the pricing is about average. I've tried their cream cheese macchiato brownie, which is alright but not worth trying again. They have Jacek chocolate too, but the actual Jacek store is literally right next door, so I'm not sure why anyone would buy from the limited selection here. They do have their own credo chocolate as well, which - at least for the little of one that I tried - is dark and very nice, if a little too bitter. They have little tasting selections as well as full bars, which are a little expensive for the size. They also have the occasional coffee and chocolate pairing tasting session, which I have not attended. read more

If you want an amazing London fog or a chai tea or a white chocolate brownie or a gluten free cookie you need to get it from here! Great staff and atmosphere to take your lap top and do some work! read more

Luckily I live downtown and can walk here, if you're driving then you'll have to pay for parking, but that's about the only thing negative I can come up with! Decent baked goods and a cozy atmosphere with ample seating. Skip Tim Horton's, Starbucks etc and support a true local business serving some of the best coffee in the city. read more

My third time coming to this coffee shop. I am visiting Edmonton and have made a point to come back. I love their cranberry cornmeal muffins. Their 6oz latte/cappuccino is delicious. read more

Went there for a coffee and sat there to drink it. I can say the coffee was okay to taste. I am a big coffee fan and have been to many coffee houses. The food selection was mediocre as i've seen other selections elsewhere. It was alright. I wouldn't rave as much as everyone here has. It appears to me like a possibly trendy place where young hipsters go to...maybe it was the time of day I went. I usually am more concerned with great coffee and a great place/atmosphere to have it in with good service. The coffee place was a tad small for seating and it did look pretty new yet sterile. I did not feel a special atmosphere like I do with some coffee places. It was just okay. The staff were nice though. Perhaps it is some trendy place with some art since it is on a trendy avenue. read more

The Americano was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Credo is a great spot on 104 for a coffee!

I have a few reasons why I don't like Credo. #1.) The time the bathroom lock was broken and the whole cafe saw me peeing on a saturday morning. #2.) The time I found a hair in my hot chocolate. The hot chocolate does leave something to be desired, I find it watery and gross normally but the hair was a bonus. #3.) The time I ordered a hot chocolate and I got a green tea instead... and a lot of sass when I tried to get that fixed. #4.) The time I ordered a london fog and it wasn't foggy enough. I mean, they forgot the vanilla. So it's just tea then. Good thing I like plain earl grey. read more

one of the best coffee shops in the city by far. I like getting a pour over coffee from their selection of fresh ground beans. I've only ever been to credo during the day, during the week, so it's always busy.... the wait to get your coffee is minimal considering that everything is made to order (no drip coffee here as far as I can tell). The only real downside is that there isn't tonnes of space, the tables are small and it's perpetually busy, but can you really fault a place with great coffee for that? I'm super excited to try the new Credo on 124th street as well! read more

I adore Credo, but so does everyone else... to the point that this little cafe is totally packed every time I visit. Nevertheless, service is always quick and the staff is super friendly. My favorite thing at Credo is the local chocolates for sale at the front counter -- they stock delicious treats from a chocolatier in Sherwood Park that I otherwise would never get to sample. I love that they brew every individual cup coffee too, not a giant coffee pot in sight! The cafe itself has a very modern vibe and seating is a bit limited, but you can secure a place if you're patient. Still, Credo is not my go-to if I'm going to spend 2hrs hanging out and reading, it's more for a drop-in to grab a coffee on my way out for errands. Their iced coffee is the best in the city! Perfect to enjoy if you're visiting the Farmer's Market just outside the door on Saturdays. read more

The coffee here is okay, not my favourite in the city though. I came here quite a bit when they first opened but my attendance here has dwindled due to what I call crappy service. When I go to a coffee place I expect to leave happy, but many of the times I have left Credo on 104 street I have left with a side of snark from some of the employees. read more

What an excellent place. I would probably never have paid much attention had it not been for the recommendation of a friend. Since then I've fallen in love with not only this coffee shop, but the entire block of 104th street! This place is some serious competition for the Transcend around the corner. When it comes to staff, product, and atmosphere, both establishments are top notch. The two things I love about Credo are the busy atmosphere and and availability of the ownership. I leave the house to study because I'm much more productive with people around me. Credo is hopping on the weekend (I have to go early to get a table) and the energy there is great - keeps me focused and engaged in my work. The staff take great pride in their product and the owner is no exception. (It's kind of a neat experience to be talking to the owner as he crafts your latte so expertly.) The food is great, too. I'm a fan of their sandwiches and quite like their muffins as well. Apparently the cookies are out of his world, but I have yet to try for myself. They sell some pretty incredible artisan chocolates - a bit pricey but VERY tasty! They are also open on Sundays (which can't be said for Transcend). The only criticism I have is that their cafe can get pretty chilly (but it is Edmonton...). Give Credo Coffee a shot. You will not be disappointed! read more

My dentist told me to stop grinding my teeth but I can drink as much coffee as I want. As such, I've been to the best coffee shops across North America from San Francisco to Montreal but the only coffee that ever shocked me was a latte at Credo Coffee. The staff hangs behind the counter with fancy gadgets and chocolates in cases. They're knowledgable about the coffee and that goes a long way. There aren't a whole of seats in the place and not all of them are comfortable - I felt my time on a stool in the front of the shop a tenuous experience. I've had great Americanos before and Credo makes a strong, rich one. Occasionally, I am in the mood for a latte and Credo was just a block away. It was the best latte that I had ever had, it was earthy, creamy, aromatic, and sharp. No matter the way you like your coffee prepared, Credo has something for you. read more

I live right above Credo and frequent it especially on weekends, where a freshly baked muffin and coffee are the perfect start to the day. They embrace a type of coffee called "Intelligentsia". What that boils down to is a company's vision to provide a more rigorous version of "Fair Trade", including a greater level of involvement of the buyers for the coffee and the producers of its supply. This is made with the conscious decision to associate with an ethical and sustainable way of procuring coffee beans from developing countries, so that wins a lot of points from me. It's also delicious coffee, so I'm glad that Credo has decided to serve it. In my own observation, it can be difficult for a coffee shop to thrive in Edmonton for a few key reasons. 1. I work in an office tower in downtown Edmonton. Most people who buy coffee on a regular basis in my community want it fast, cheap, and to go. They usually have a taste for Starbucks or Tim Hortons, and there isn't anything wrong with this. Myself and the people I work around are busy and don't usually have the time to sit down and enjoy a proper coffee, and they don't drink it after work because it will interfere with their sleep schedule. But what this means is that local and unique coffee shops have staunch competition from the big chains, who can churn out liquid caffeine as cheaply and quickly. 2. Coffee shops aren't extremely lucrative. Individuals can go in, order a coffee for a few dollars, and sit there pretty much all day if they want. In Italy, coffee shops (bars) have two sets of pricing for their coffee. You can pay the price to stand at the bar and drink your coffee, or you can pay the extra cost of sitting at a table there. I don't necessarily like that set-up, but it mitigates the costs of leasing and operating in a space that isn't taking in huge quantities of cash. 3. Location is everything. Even being on one side of the street compared to another can have great effects on how many people visit the shop. Foot traffic, the demographic of people in the area, and accessibility can make or break a coffee shop. Even if a great product and awesome environment is available, like at the Jasper avenue location of Transcend which sadly just closed down, success is not guaranteed. With those obstacles to overcome, I think Credo has done a fantastic job of setting itself up on 104th street. It is certainly my favorite coffee in the city, and it's made properly. Their fresh baked goods are delicious and the interior is neatly decorated with pieces of local art, which can be bought. It's always clean and efficient in there and it has a healthy environment which is geared towards a notion of sustainability, a common trend by several establishments on 104th. It's a nice place to get quality coffee to go, and also to sit and visit with a friend for a bit. I must mention the drawbacks though. The staff don't usually seem all that friendly, or willing to engage anyone in actual discourse. I understand that it must be busy and that working on your feet making coffee all day may not be the most fun job in the world. But I would like to see more of an effort to build a community and do more than just offer a product and take money in exchange. More smiles, more friendly interaction, and more conversation would really help solidify this business as a local treasure. The other drawback is that their cups for coffee to stay can be nigh impossible to drink from without risking burns or spilled hot liquid. The large cups are wide and shallow, and when filled to the brim are tricky to balance. They have a teensy handle that I can only fit one finger through (maybe I have big fat sausage fingers), and since the cups get so hot it's actually painful to try to hold and steady it. Am I nitpicking? I don't know, I spilled coffee on myself like three times when I was there once and left humiliated. So I'm blaming the cups! But overall, a great business. I gave it 5 stars on the rating, but the drawbacks I mentioned would make it more like 4.5 out of 5. read more

I support local Edmonton and Credo is an amazing local coffee shop that also supports local. I know people who will drive 30 min just to get their drip coffee here. If you haven't been you need to try and for those you of you that only drink Starbucks and don't embrace change... the time has come. read more

Every time I go to Credo I have a great experience. The service is really good and it's nice to see the same staff time and time again. In regards to the food and the coffee: it is so damn good! Their granola bars are delicious and not too heavy. Their coffee is some of the best in the city! Go and try it out! And good luck getting a seat! read more
