I love this place. The interior is so inviting and the outside patio is very chic. I always grab a coffee for my long dog walks downtown. I wish I knew his name but the guy serving me is always friendly and always asks me if I need water for my dog. their mocha's and coffees are delicious and I really appreciate that they have milk alternatives. I highly recommend. read more

Located attached to the Red Star restaurant. Beautiful area with lots of wood decorations. The vibe is super relaxed. The service was prompt and courteous. I ordered an ice latte with oat. The coffee is pretty good. Well roasted and prepared. The only thing I noticed was the surcharge for oat milk, and honey. $1 extra seems rather different than other coffee shops. I could be wrong though. Great location, service and coffee! read more

I came here with a friend on a Saturday afternoon to catch up over coffee. The atmosphere was cozy and warm, the coffee and breakfast sandwich were tasty, and the service was top notch. I'll definitely be back. read more

Lock Stock Coffee - Bacon biscuit breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

One of my secret obsessions is BLT sandwiches. (Except that it's not a secret because I talk about it all the time.) So simple! So classic! So when I heard that Lock Stock Coffee is known for their extra special BLT sandwich, I had to try it. They're also known to be a wonderful cafe - Avenue Magazine award them Best Cafe 2020. What's not to love about that? I was excited to head Downtown to check them out and to try all of the things. You'll find Lock Stock right on Jasper Ave, right in the heart of the downtown core. In fact, they're two businesses in one. Cafe by day as Lock Stock Coffee and bar by night as Red Star Pub. This type of arrangement is a bit of a trend these days and you'll find these types of businesses more and more. It makes sense. Why not maximize the space and earning potential? You enter the cafe by going down the stairs to the bottom portion of the building. Inside, you are met with a moody room that you can certainly picture in the nighttime hours as a pub - complete with a well-stocked bar. However, the space doubles as a lovely cafe quite well. The walls are brightened up with white subway tile and the small cafe "window" is complete with a glass case full of baking. The rest of the room is the epitome of dark wood and exposed brick. However, I did also see some flashy white marble here and there. The vibe makes you feel like this place is a cool underground secret. You feel hip coming here. The first thing that I was going to do is order a coffee, of course. I'm a big fan of the Mocha ($5.00) so I went straight for that. Lock Stock uses coffee from Ace Coffee Roasters, a roaster hailing from right here in Edmonton. This was a good mocha! The coffee itself wasn't too strong, however I wished that the chocolate flavour had been a little bit more pronounced and playful. Not the best mocha that I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. A decent coffee beverage. There are a surprising amount of food offerings available; from English Muffin Sandwiches to Focaccia Sandwiches. They also do Biscuit Sandwiches on the weekend. All of these breads are completely housemade which makes them extra special and wonderful. There are also options that range from frittatas, tartines, and quiche, so there are quite a lot of things to try. Of course I went straight for the Lock Stock BLT Focaccia Sandwich (Pembina bacon, house-made tomato jam, white cheddar, lemon-dijon mayo, and arugula. Served on our house-made focaccia - $12.00), however they have an english muffin version as well. Not quite a straight-up traditional BLT, I loved the direction that they took this version into. The bacon was nice and crispy (so important!) and the arugula was fresh. I thought that the use of tomato jam was such an interesting way to incorporate the tomato component and it added a delicate sweetness. The huge star was the focaccia bread, which was pure magic. This bread was pillowy soft with a glorious chew and a beautiful crumb. The outside was beautifully caramelized adding some wonderful texture. I'm assuming that any sandwich that they make on this focaccia is pretty special (they do four types) because the bread is just that good. However, this BLT sandwich truly is "the one." Wanting to try something completely different, I also ordered the Lox & Egg English Muffin Sandwich (House-cured citrus lox, caramelized onions, and fresh dill. Served on our house-made toasted english muffin - $8.50). I was mostly curious about the english muffin because you don't find housemade versions of them all that often. This sandwich packs a very dill-flavoured punch, which makes sense because salmon and dill are such good friends. The lox itself was very nice and somewhat unexpected. This is not your grocery store package of smoked salmon. Instead, this lox is thick-sliced and tastes very fresh. It's more like eating a beautiful, tender slice of smoky salmon and less like the typical kind that you'll find anywhere. The whole thing is gooey and wonderful. The english muffin was extra special, so much better than store-bought. Lastly, I'd heard that the bakery items at Lock Stock are very good and they seem to specialize in making Kouign Amann ($3.75). (Although all of the items in the pastry case looked beautiful.) Layers and layers of light, buttery dough, filled with sugar. The thing about kouign amann that makes it special is what happens to the sugar. Much of it becomes so caramelized that it creates a glass not unlike that of a crème brûlée. The warm layers of pasty were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, intermingling with the sugary shards throughout. An excellent example of this classic treat. The food offerings at Lock Stock Coffee are very good. They have positioned themselves above the rest by literally making everything in-house and the quality achieved in doing so is extremely evident. If you're ever in the need of a quick hand-held breakfast, I can think of no better place. read more

What a gem! So excited to try the food experiences now that we live downtown. This place was recommended in top 100 things to eat in Edm. We're making our way down this list. Let's start with the coffee. Oh my god! It is so amazing. Fresh and so smooth! Had the latte. For breakfast we had the egg and bacon English muffin. Highly recommend. The English muffin was so fresh. Melted in our mouths. We will definitely be back read more

Lock Stock Coffee - English muffin at Lock Stock Coffee. Delish!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Cool little place down a few steps off jasper. The breakfast sandwich is unreal, one of the best I've had in Edmonton. Great balance of flavours and the toasted English Muffin has a wonderful toasted crunch....this isn't your slightly warm and soggy Jim Nortons brekkie sammich.... Latte was also delicious, service was friendly, if you are lucky you at get to eavesdrop on people dressed all fancy discussing business things. read more

Went here with some friends for coffee and breakfast. Nice tables, great coffee, love the cut-off view of Jasper Ave and the nearby parking available. Had their frittata which was OK but I make better at home; seems more of a beverage place than a food place. Server seemed super unhappy but we all have our not too happy days I guess. Really good place for a chat; volume is low but not hushed. Would return for a start out to an evening tripping around downtown. read more

Location: I'm not going to lie, it's a bit of a dungeon. Sure, plenty of daylight filters down from street level, but you're always going to feel like you're underground. Setting: It's a dark-stained wood-paneled pub with church pews. Pretty consistent with the whole dungeon vibe. Service: Both our host and server were delightful and cheery - which did a lot to lighten the mood. Drink: I ordered a chai latte which was artfully crafted by someone who obviously takes pride in their work. It was less sweet than a traditional chai which made it better for me, no doubt, but honestly less tasty. Food: I had the bacon and egg English muffin and it was fantastic! Once again, this was obviously made by someone who cares. My only complaint was the choice to add arugula. Now this was my fault since I didn't read the menu description carefully, but I do wonder how there are so many people who enjoy this bitter-tasting herb. I may not be in the majority here, but never in my life have I thought any dish could be improved if it only tasted more like poison. read more

What a fantastic concept. Coffee shop during the day, bar at night hidden away steps down from ground level. I was concerned about two things prior to my visit - 1) Will it smell like a bar? NOPE and 2) Are there plugs for my computer? YES All drinks are espresso based, so no pour over or pre-made coffee here. Good news is that means fresh espresso for all! read more

Lock Stock Coffee - Gibraltar - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Cute little coffee shop that is attached or part of Red Star. They do the switch over in the afternoon between 3 and 4pm. Since it is part of Red Star it carries that cute pub/tavern feel that radiates a low key and chill atmosphere. The staff were friendly and it almost feels like a hidden off gem cause it's not super noticeable from the street and you have to go down the stairs to get to the shop. I was pleasantly surprised by their latte with almond milk (probably one of the best lattes i have had in a long time) and the peanut butter cookie was tasty too. I think the only downside, and likely because it was originally a pub/tavern first, is that there is a lack of plug ins that we would normally be accustomed to in a standard coffee shop. Still worth a visit though. read more

I wish they were open longer during the week! I love this space and the cozy atmosphere and the coffee is pretty amazing too. I have tried the cappuccino and lattes here with regular and almond milk and they were delicious. i haven't tried the baked goods yet, but they looks quite yummy as well. The staff is super friendly and welcoming and their service is quick. I like the informal and relaxing atmosphere of this place and always spend a decent amount of time reading or catching up with some friends here. I know that they can't be open longer as it turns into the Red Star pub in the evenings, but I would have totally appreciated if they were open till 6 for a nice evening cuppa, sigh.. I can dream. read more

Lock Stock Coffee - Latte and cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This is one of our favourite downtown coffee shops. It's mostly because of the wonderful biscuit sandwiches that aren't even that expensive. They are delicious. Today we even spotted Councilor Scott McKeen there. This place changes to Red Star Pub at night. It's right off Jasper Ave. I recommend it. read more

Squished in between Red Star and The Bower on Jasper Ave, you'll find Lock Stock Coffee. It's a teeny, tiny coffee stop with friendly staff and perfect cups of tea and coffee. At first, I thought it was a grab a coffee and go kind of place. Turns out there is a door through to the closed bar Red Star, so you can sit in there and enjoy your beverage. It's nice they make use of that space during the day. I love the open windows and watching people walking by. There are baked goods available but I was all about the tea. The staff were so nice and chatty, it makes me want to spend more time there. No wifi though so it's not ideal for working. But nice to meet a pal for a catch up if you find yourself downtown. read more

Downtown YEG is so lucky to have all these great coffee shops popping up! Lock Stock is literally a hole in the ground, right between 105st and 106st, where the Red Star pub is. I love how the space is decorated. It's small, but definitely enough room to sit and enjoy your coffee if you so choose. They also have truly amazing pastries here... rosemary bacon cheddar muffin, strawberry buttermilk loaf, cookies, biscuits. This is just another great option for some delicious coffee sans sugar in downtown YEG, so check it out. read more

Stumbled upon this place on a lazy morning that I wanted delicious food with minimal effort. Enter Lock Stock! Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I had the chorizo one and there was just so much flavour compacted into it! It's such a cool place where you can just sit and people watch while enjoying a great cup of coffee. The staff was super friendly too. Such a hidden gem but definitely worth it! read more

Lock Stock Coffee - Chorizo breakfast sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Location is kind of cool. I can see how the uniqueness of a hole in the ground bar venue that turns into a coffee shop during the day could be appealing to some. Personally I like my coffee shops bright and full of natural light if I'm trying to get some serious work done. But I just went to get a mocha to go so not docking points on ambience/environment. My coffee seemed watered down and lacking flavour. There was a hint of cinnamon or nutmeg, which was unique. Not sure if it was good as it came through more than the chocolate/cocoa flavour. All in all fairly disappointed. read more

I honestly do love coming to lock stock coffee! Parking might be a bit of an issue but if you can find parking and pay for it south of Jasper than it can be a bit less. They only have kougin amans on the weekends and unfortunately they are not open Sundays. Pretty much every one of their breakfast Sammies are delish! They are made with a cheddar & chive biscuit! Two of them!!! The coffee that they serve is roasted by ACE. It's a neat little place to work as well. It can get busy right around 11:30 or 12pm but then is less busy after. However, you then run the risk of missing out on those kougin amans! read more

I can only comment on all their baked goods and breakfast sandwiches which are all made in-house. For baked goods, I've tried their Malva Pudding Cakes, the Kougin Amans & Carrot Cake Bites. All were executed well. I've also tried one of their breakfast sandwiches with bacon, egg, arugula on a house made biscuit and it was incredible! One star deducted because I find service from the counter to be succinct and not overly friendly. As well, price point seems a bit steep for some of their baked goods (compared to portion sizes) in my opinion. But still highly recommended. read more

Lock Stock Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Really awesome shop. Lots of natural lighting (even though it's below ground) - really richly appointed, dark-stained wood everywhere. Has the vibe of a study in a mansion, or the lobby of a fancy old hotel. The staff was friendly and warm. The coffee (from ACE roasters) was very good. I had the Bagel + Lox. Best I've had outside of Montreal & my lovely lady tried their version of the BLT which I can only assume was delicious since I was not offered a bite! This is a really cool place to check out on a weekend morning, to sit, and chat and enjoy a cup. read more

Cute little coffee shop! Shares space with Red Star next door. Very reasonable prices for their drinks and a nice small selection of pastries. Def work checking out. Only downfall is that you need to pay for street parking even on a Saturday. Otherwise, a great hipster coffee shop tucked away on jasper ave. read more

5 starts for the herb biscuits....seriously. Love popping into Lockstock for coffee, the staff there are always friendly and inviting. The space opens up into red star during the day so there is lots of places to sit and chat, or do work/homework. They have a few food items like muffins, bagels, breakfast sandwiches.... and the herb biscuits. read more

There is nothing I rely on more for a jolt of energy (and happiness) than a cup of coffee, and Lock Stock is one my favorite places to satisfy this craving. Moonlighting as Redstar at night, high top seating and dark wood accents create a cozy yet modern place to enjoy your caffeine. The coffee is made with Danesi Espresso beans and does not disappoint.  To be honest, it is probably one of the better Americano's I have had in the city, and will definitely give you that mid-morning boost of energy that you need on a Wednesday.  All of the food is made in-house. I recommend the bacon, rosemary, cheddar muffin. It is simply irresistible, and a crowd favorite. The price is reasonable and on par with the other non-chains (think Credo and Transcend Coffee).  The service is fast and friendly. Because it is located right on Jasper Ave there is plenty of street parking. read more

I've had 19000 cups of coffee in 12 countries on 4 continents. I am not bragging or complaining just saying that when I tell you the best latte I've had in Canada was in this slightly hidden, literally underground gem on Jasper, I have tried a few! Got a sweet tooth? Pair it with the apricot jam topped Malwa a custard tart that is pudding you can consume without a spoon but you will have trouble making it last more than 3 minutes, rich creamy and satisfying!! Love a great espresso based drink?!?! Get down the stairs to Lock Stock and two steaming shots of yum! read more

I am so loving this!! A totally unique space that houses a super cool coffee shop that has perhaps the best name for a coffee shop ever: Lock Stock. Love! With plenty of room, solid wifi, great staff, and some tasty treats. I have been making Lock Stock a regular place for taking mid day business meetings. My go to beverage on the menu however is not their coffee, or any caffinated beverages - it is their fresh squeezed (when you order it, so it takes a few minutes to make) orange juice! Hello vitamin C! read more

Everything you want from a coffee shop. Quick service, a comfy place to enjoy a beverage, friendly staff, and if working downtown, a convenient location (on Jasper). And the coffee? So good! If you want to try something unique for your java fix, give Lock Stock a try. read more

New favourite cafe in Edmonton. Espresso snobs need only apply. Impressive beverages made with Italian and euro-roasted beans (who isn't over this cinnamon roast crap and origin feel?). Suggestion: cortado breve. Another suggestion: bring your laptop and enjoy the bar tables and wifi. read more

Lock Stock is another great addition to Edmonton's burgeoning downtown coffee scene. Attached to Red Star Pub, Lock Stock shares Red Star's low-key but elegant décor and offers delicious coffee and baked goods. Lock Stock can be hard to find at first, located down the stairs that lead to Red Star and the Bower and barely marked with any signage. Upon entering, the narrow but comfortable space leads to a coffee counter which serves delicious Danesi coffee and treats like delicious mini-carrot cake. There's not much else to say about Lock Stock, other than that its relatively discreet location and unassuming appearance is perfect for a quick drink or a long chat away from the usual hustle and bustle of Jasper ave during the day. The coffee is great, the space is unique and it is another great addition to Edmonton's coffee shop boom. read more

This is a great place and it feels like a tucked away secret place in Edmonton. They have great coffee and an assortment of baked goods. It's such a great place to go during the day because the Red Star bar area is open for you to work or read. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing and the coffee is usually pretty solid but the best location is what takes it over the top for me. read more

Incredible little coffee house. Really enjoyed my vanilla soy latte but the biscuit breakfast sandwich was to die for. The homemade biscuits were flaky and oh so flavorful. The tomato jam was a perfect accompaniment to the bacon, and you can't go wrong with arugula as your greens. I will definitely come here again the next time I am in the Edmonton area. The staff was also very friendly. read more

Great place for the city folks and young as well as the mature entrepreneurs to meet and do business or just relax over their wonderful home style coffee or Chai tea. The have excellent scones - tried their pear and ricotta, surprisingly flavourful with crunchy edges and light fluffy inside; ordered a second one. Excellent welcome as soon as you walk in the door. read more

The coffee is well done. To eat, the dark chocolate espresso cake is amazing.

I discovered Lock Stock while on Jasper Avenue looking for a place to grab a cup of coffee and maybe a quick bite, on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks to the signage, I headed down, looked at the small menu, and ordered an Americano and one of the biscuit sandwiches. My Americano was brought to me first, and it was very good. Deep, rich flavour. The sandwich had lox, arugula, pickled scallions, and dill cream cheese on an herb and cheddar biscuit. I normally don't like cream cheese, so if it is flavoured it had better taste strongly from the flavour - and indeed it did. The richness of the cream cheese paired perfectly with the fresh lox and bitterness of the arugula. I also normally don't go for cheese biscuits, but this one was so fresh and flaky, with little crispy hints of cheddar. I thought at first $8.50 was a lot to pay for a small sandwich, but it was deceptively rich and filling. The staff were very friendly and I liked the vibe of the place. I am definitely coming back! read more

A hidden little gem that many people seem to know about! I was familiar with the area and with Red Star which shares the space with Lock Stock but wasn't aware of Lock Stock until Homestead recommended I order from them for a takeout order for a training session I was hosting. I ordered through email which was super easy and my order was ready on time each morning and it was still warm! So yummy! I enjoyed pastries and top notch coffee both days, they also do iced americano's which were delicious and great for the warm weather Edmonton was having. read more

Coffee please! I met up with a friend who works nearby Lock Stock for a quick catch up and drink in the morning. They had a variety of drinks and pastries on display. I had a latte with a pear ricotta scone which was delightfully warm and moist. The seating area to the left is a bit dim below street level, but it is fine for a quick cuppa. But, probably not my first coffee shop choice on a bright, sunny day. Always good to know another coffee shop down Jasper Ave. Might take it to go next time though! read more

Was excited to try this place out. My husband and I tried the kouign amann and their lox bagel. However, as I started off devouring my kouign amann, I noticed red plastic shrapnels as I chewed the pastry. I asked the guys in there and the first guy from the kitchen who talked to us was pretty sure that the shards were indeed questionable. (I tried to crack them with my teeth but these plastic shards were hard.) The chef came out and told me those were cherry pits. But, I googled how cherry pits look like, and they are not red in color. I am not completely sold that those were cherry pits. The chef took the evidence before I had the chance to take pictures. It was too bad I had this experience because the lox bagel was good. But I dont think I will be back in here because now I am questioning how they run their kitchen... read more

Very happy with this gem tucked away under the stairs. I have only been for coffee meetings during the day but hope to stay once into the evening for other night bevies. Most often a great place for mtgs, loud enough not to have people hear your conversation, but quiet enough you can hear your partners. read more

I never knew this place existed until I had a meeting with a client here. I love the funky decor and chilled out vibe. I only ordered a coffee but it was really good.

Definitely recommend everyone to go and enjoy a coffee or beverage. read more

One of the coolest spots on Jasper for Java! Great chill vibe, scones and biscuits are yummy, and the lattes are luscious!
