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.

Came Friday at 5PM. Because we didn't have a reservation we were told they would need the table at…read more6:30PM. Place did not feel full but did get busier at 6:30PM. Banana Cream Pie mocktail - 10/10. Banana flavor was not too strong which was good. Friend got the pumpkin latte and liked it. We got the Halloumi 9/10. Was very tasty and enough for 2 people. Honey Toast 6/10. Had better. Bread was very dry, caramel only went down in to the bread a bit and not enough which made the bottom half dry and tasteless. Overall such a stunning atmosphere (very girly, very pink), drinks were great.

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!!!

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.

Delicious. They have delicious plates. I tried the curry chickpeas and it comes with two types of salad, rice, beans, and plantain. The plantain was by far the best.

We chatted for a while and it was nice to just chat with someone after the pandemic. I'll be recommending this place to others and will be back. :) All the vegetarian patties were out though so we might try to swing by again to try some.

The space has transformed under the new ownership, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and a Bob Marley spirit that gives the room a relaxed, soulful energy. My photos don't capture how vibrant and welcoming it truly feels. I ordered the snapper fish meal and it was excellent -- fresh, flavourful, and clearly made with care. Today happened to be their last day before the owner takes a well deserved break, and they'll reopen on January 13. When he returns, the dine in area is fully set up with new furniture, ready for people to sit down and enjoy the food in this beautiful space. Saffron is a gem in the Stadium neighbourhood -- authentic, community minded, and full of heart. I'm grateful I finally stepped inside, and I'm already looking forward to returning when they reopen.

We tried the Pho Lourie, which are like little clouds of fried bread that we dipped in tamarind and hot sauce and was very delicious. We also had the oxtail, which had a really nice, rich flavour and tender, slow cooked meat, as well as the goat curry, which was also very delicious and just the right amount of heat. We ate our meal with some nice, fluffy roti, and some amazing meat patties (chicken and beef). The restaurant is simple and unassuming, and tucked away in an indoor strip mall on Whyte Ave (I'm a lifelong Edmontonian and had no idea this mall existed!). Definitely worth the visit.

We were hungry and fortunately it was nice enough to sit outside although uncomfortable. Very limited menu. They had a white board of what they were out of more than what they had. We were here for Feed the Soul 10 dollar week, so luckily they had these things available. We had the stewed beef with rice and coleslaw and the Saturday special the chicken pelau. Both came with a small side of coleslaw. The stewed beef was delicous - Marinated in traditional green seasoning The beef is then browned using the traditional burning of sugar method which creates a unique flavour combination. It was really tasty but I am sure my husband wanted more beef. The coleslaw was creamy, crisp, and fresh. The chicken pelau was delicous. It was wonderfully spiced and hearty. It is the national dish of trinidad. Lovely. Well worth the visit

The spice level is just enough that it gives you a kick but not enough that it's unpalatable because it's too hot.

Owner (a couple) has a stand at Old Strathcona Famers' Market that is selling Caribbean hot sauce style but they opened up a Caribbean food stand in addition to their hot sauce stand. So far I have tried 2 different dishes; Ackee & Saltfish and Oxtail Stew. Both dishes were really good. It was my first time to try Ackee. Quite interesting fruit but it was good. Ackee is a fruit of the Sapindaceae soapberry family, as are the lychee and the longan. Since I grew up with saltfish, it was lovely to have it again after so long I didn't have it. The oxtail was so flavourful and tender. The rice that company the oxtail was really yummy. With a beautiful set-up of food court of Bountiful Farmers' Market, I think this little booth give a nice vibe to its market.
