Have been here before soni was surprised I had not reviewed this spot already. Stopped for lunch while I was running around doing some errands. Ordered the grilled sandwich with gravlox and cream cheese. I think the menu or server said they make their own gravlox. Sandwich was pretty good. Ultimately, I would have to saying works better as a bagel. The soup of the day was great. And they understand a soup and sandwich lunch. Many places I have been sell a sandwich with a side and a soup separately. Sobyouborder a soup and sandwich and get a pile of fries you were not expecting. So it ends up toooo much. Finally someone gets it. read more

A perfect lunch that hit the mark for our whole group! The staff immediately were friendly and helpful, even though the place was super packed on Sunday around 1130am. Helped seat us right away, got a high chair for our little one and directed us to the self serve water and coffee station. Which my kid loves being a server and getting everyone at the table waters (and making sure they were always full). The food was all amazingly presented and came out in good time considering how busy it was. We all loved the food and the plates were licked clean! The Breakfast Bowl was probably the best one- super filling and loved the variety. Having the whole thing baked just tastes like happy belly food. We also ordered the Crepe with Whipped cream - in the menu it says the bananas come with chocolate sauce but they were so nice when our kids asked for strawberries and chocolate sauce right away they said no problem and did it for us. I love the no hassle feeling with a small change. We also ordered a side of bangers and they were tasty but a little peppery for the kids (who are just fussy about their sausage but everyone else enjoyed them). The Gravlax Benedict was also ordered and super well enjoyed with the substitution for Latkes, highly recommended! Street parking here can be a little tricky but if you're willing to walk a bit it's not bad. Gender neutral washrooms, with pretty cool art too. read more

Loved, loved, loved this little joint. I was so grateful a friend showed me this sweet little soup and sammie spot! Homemade soups. Lots of great sandwiches. You can even do half's. So great and I keep meaning to go back and haven't yet! This review will prompt me to do so now. read more

I had a huge craving for latkes last Sunday and we got out of church early so, I thought we might have beaten the after church rush from the Moravian church nearby. We easily found parking nearby and voila, a table inside. I thought I had ordered the latkes with an egg on top- I was really hungry but was disappointed that the waiter had misconstrued my order and put a side potato latke together with a side egg over easy. . It was nobody's fault really, and quite cheap, but when I got home, I put an egg and two potatoes in the electric vegetable chopper with some salt and pepper and whipped up my own potato pancakes. It tasted just as good and finally satiated my craving. Oh well. Lesson learned. read more

Absolutely love this place. There's just a real nice feel great seating and services. Excellent love the big windows and ability to plug-in for working on your computer. Great little perks of cucumber water and marshmallows for hot chocolate. Only downside it is pretty pricey for drinks and food. However, the food looks amazing. Definitely a place. I'd love to go. read more

The coffees/lattes are really great, but the food leaves a bit to be desired. The place was busy, but not full on a Sunday at noon. We ordered: traditional eggs Benny, Breakfast burrito, Huevos Rancheros and scrambled eggs and back bacon. All 4 of us were just ok with the dishes. The back bacon was a grey slab. It wasn't good at all. My Hollandaise sauce didn't even register on a flavour scale. Our service was wonderful. I've been here before for beers. They have Rotating craft beers. Yum. read more

It was actually in July, 2018. I found this place by accident and it was great. Nothing fancy, just simple and effective. The staff was really nice and the food was good too. read more

TL;DR: a great setting for a hot beverage or two coupled with conversation. I really enjoyed the design of the place as a whole and liked the service which was provided. My time here was quick; my friends and I stopped by to order a few caffeinated delights before settling into the music venue located in the basement. It was quite loud but not obnoxiously so. You can still have a good conversation. The seating options were great and I really liked the decor; it was industrial yet modern and I adored the lighting and the huge windows which surrounded the interior. In addition, the panel graphic behind the front counter was particularly beautiful. I really wished we had sat in the booth seats but they were all filled! The service was friendly and really made you feel comfortable. They definitely went above and beyond in terms of making their guests feel right at home. I really wish that I tried their food because from what I've read it is pretty good! But sadly, I only ordered beverages. I tried the Mochaccino and the Vanilla Latte, they were both great. read more

Mill Creek Cafe - Mochaccino - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I used to live accross the bridge from this Cafe, and have visited it quiet frequently for a java to take on a walk in the Millcreek Ravine, as it is right next to the trail head; this place makes a fantastic dirty chai! That being said, I have had a meal here a few times, and have always enjoyed. They have a fair amount of choices available for people that need gluten free, or lactose free options, and the food is always so full of flavor. From my experiences, the staff is always happy to serve, and willing to modify orders if requested. The restaurant dining area and washrooms are clean; and they tend to showcase local artists' paintings/art on a feature wall to the left of the entrance as you walk in. The service is fairly fast to take care of you; but if you want water or plain coffee, you may have tonpour it yourself, as they leave that on a stand next to the entrance. I consider Millcreek as great place to go to for a brunch or dinner, and or just a simple Java of your choice. They have never disappointed me, but they have impressed me a few times. read more

I didn't know that this cafe is exist! Coming here after seeing their Instagram from my another foodie buddy who sent me this place's picture of i special menu for the weekend "Nasi Lemak". A popular breakfast rice in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Nasi lemak is basically a coconut rice with many side dishes but anchovies (ikan bilis) and sambal are must! The cafe was serving nasi lemak with sunny side up eggs, crispy anchovies (ikan bilis), pork belly (that was hidden under the eggs), cucumber, pineapple, sambal and kerupuk (crackers). Serving on banana leaves that makes it different! I laughed with my partner's comment, "this is the first non Asian restaurant that I visited which serves kerupuk in Canada" I realized and agreed with his statement. It's a family ownership restaurant who came from Singapore. Very nice lady and son! The lady came and asked me how the food was. I said I finished it all. I know the Sambal has been Canadianized a bit by not too much heat on the Sambal but it's still flavourful Sambal. The ambience is cozy and industrial roof setting which I enjoy. We finished our meal with coffee. He chose mochaccino and I had the Spanish coffee. A bit booze on the weekend won't harm you read more

I was very excited to dig in to the beautiful plate of eggs benedict florentine that was served to me! Quickly disappointed at the bland flavour of the hollandaise and cool-to-the-touch hash browns. I think the chef prepared the plate and everything got cold while he prepared the eggs. Eggs, however, were poached perfectly, hollandaise had perfect texture, but no zest, no seasoning. A+ on presentation, service, atmosphere C- on flavour & temperature read more

A disappointing experience overall. Nice looking food with quality ingredients, but unbelievably bland. How could anything that looks so good taste so boring? I don't think I could make food this dull if I tried. I had a breakfast sandwich, made with a lovely looking but very dry bread. No sauce of any description save a bit of butter or margarine on the bottom made for a very crunchy, dry, chewy sandwich. My boyfriend had the Mexican omelette which, amazingly, was also very boring and bland in flavour, and for $13!! How anything called Mexican have almost no spice or flavour is beyond me. I should have twigged that something was up when I noticed the menu mentioned in bold that chorizo is MEAT. Wow, I pity them if their regular clientele doesn't know this. Quaint set up but disorganized, with a young and inexperienced (albeit polite) staff. For example, no one told us to help ourselves to coffee after we paid for it. No one tells you to seat yourself or where to get menus. I guess they must rely on regulars for their business, because I can't think of anything to recommend about this place. We won't be back. Shame, I was so excited to try this place out! Sadly trend and a local / sustainable bent does not a good business make. read more

Cozy, gets busy fast-get there early when it opens on weekend mornings for brunch. Note: started my review a couple of months ago! Craving a return visit! Gluten free bread made in-house. That's not common at all! All the breads are made fresh in house every morning! Gravlax bennies? Oh yeah, and the salmon is cured in-house too! Maple syrup and salt/brown sugar cure. Mmmmm. They take huge pride that everything that CAN be made in-house IS. Full stop. Lots of menu selection, and they'll definitely cater to adapting a menu item for dietary needs ie substituting salsa for hollandase (theirs is not #glutenfree). The gravlax gluten free bennie was a hit. I ate it ALL and I am not ashamed. I never eat it all - really! I'm the take home queen. I really should start carrying my own containers everywhere. Order from the front counter, and pay on your way out. Bring your own mug for a discount on coffee, nice touch. Water is self-serve in the fridge by the door, glasses share the coffee station. Parking, you might need to walk a bit, but that seems to stop no one. Update: had the pleasure to meet the chef and owner at an event last week. Did you know they do wine tastings too? They sell out every time, so if you want to go, get in on the action early! Oh, and Cafe Haven in Sh. Pk... of course it's a sister restaurant! read more

Mill creek Cafe is a cool Cafe/restaurant located in the French quarters. The service was prompt and courteous. The meal was slightly greasy which made the potatoes get a bit soggy. However,the taste was good and the ambience was great. My vegan scrambled tofu was 17.50. read more

This cozy corner cafe offers a warm atmosphere and delicious food, perfect for a quiet stop on a busy afternoon or after a nice run through the Mill Creek Ravine. Have been here a few times and do not have any complaints. The food is really good, homemade soups and sandwiches and fresh salads, paired with inviting decor and friendly staff, the perfect place to share lunch with a friend. Haven't been here during peak hours, but have never had trouble with parking or getting a table for two. The prices were fair for the quality of the food and for the experience. Would definitely recommend and would love to eat here again. read more

I like coming here because it's not usually as busy as other places on a weekend morning (though there are days that I've had to wait for tables). You're never rushed here though, even though they could have a line out the door, you won't feel like you have to hurry and get out of there. The staff are super friendly and I don't think I've seen anyone in a bad mood even though they're packed (or alternatively, super bored). The food is pretty decent as are the prices. I like coming for the cinnamon bun which looks simple (no icing or anything) and flecked with some sort of seed - you feel like it's a healthier alternative. Then you break into it and it's fluffy and soft and crying out to be doused in butter (you should definitely douse it in butter) and it tastes perfect. This bun, a pot of tea and I am in heaven. Not to say that their other food isn't great (it is) but I've got a soft spot in my heart for this bun. read more

Cute little cafe just outside downtown, specializing in breakfast / brunch options and coffee beverages. I ordered take-out from here one morning, ordering the vegan tofu scramble. It was a creative one, with delicious roasted red peppers and onions, a vegan havarti cheese, a nice side salsa, a delicious homemade dense whole grain bread, and a little pineapple. $17 or so for the dish, about standard for Edmonton. Very friendly staff. Good spot for brunch. read more

A cosy cafe where you can not only get coffee and muffins, but full on delicious meals. Prior to a show, myself and a friend swing by Mill Street Cafe after hearing some glowing reports from others. The servers were really nice, and very knowledgeable about all parts of their menu, up to and including making beer recommendations based on my picky friend's tastes. Kudos to you guys! For food I went with (Disclaimer, I've forgotten the title of the dish so will now just describe!) Red Thai Curry Cod with rice and some delicious green beans and peppers. It was so tasty. Just the right amount of spice. I'll definitely take another trip to the Cafe! read more

Went for a breakfast date with the hubby on a weekday and was pretty surprised about how busy this place is! We did get seated right away though. I like the Art Deco type vibe and we were able to find a spot street parking nearby. Water is self serve and I believe the coffee is as well, but that gets added to the bill. I ordered a hot chocolate and was not disappointed. I'm honestly not big on breakfast like the hubby is, but there is a good assortment of choices. I strayed from my usual eggs benny and gave their corned beef hash a go, and hubby wanted gravlax, so ended up with a gravlax omelette. Definitely a different kind of breakfast than what I usually get, but the portion was good for me, in fact I couldn't finish, so I let my hubby eat the rest. I also like how they have a bakery type display at the front and how there was some gummy candy you can help yourself to with tongs while you pay at the cashier. read more

I was very excited to go to Mill Creek Cafe, and maybe it was an off day, but it was a really disappointing experience. We were sat quickly, but it took 30 minutes to get someone to take our order, in a place without a line and some tables free, and after asking to order and being told they would be back. It took 32 more minutes for our food to come, and although it was very good, it was lukewarm-cold. I was confused why they would have left the food sitting. I do hope this was an anomaly. read more

Fun facts I learned about Mill Creek last time I visited: - They've got wifi (just ask for the password) - The manager is a really cool dude - They're licensed (what's up, coffee and Bailey's?) - They serve weekend brunch! And here I thought they were just a random cafe kinda far down Whyte Ave. The more you know! read more

If you want decent but overpriced food and to be ignored and treated like crap this is the place for you. I don't like giving bad reviews, and have a pretty high pain threshold for the service industry, especially in these times. My wife and I have been here more than 5 times and we do like the food (probably a 3.5 out of 5) and its central location for friends, but the staff are often quite short with people and the last time we went will be the last time we ever go. It makes a lot more sense why some of the staff are rude when the manager is the one who treats customers terribly. In our case where there was miscommunication between the 2 waiters that we ended up having, there was no apology, but rather we were treated with disdain, not heard and we are the last people that would want to enter into an argument, so we cut our losses and will not be back. read more

Just finish eating a hot grilled roasted vegetable sandwich- it was delicious, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Forgot to grab a photo, but it also looked the part. Both the ingredients and the bread (which they make themselves, I believe) were great. The server and person by the register were both super sweet, too. Prices were pretty reasonable (10.50 for the sandwich, 2.50 for the coffee), and they offer half-sandwich options too, if anyone wants more variety. read more

One of my favourite Edmonton restaurants is nearly finished a redesign, adding a little roominess and light. Thankfully, the menu and quality continue to be terrific. They persist with a few odd quirks They seem to expect as they always have, without signage, for you to order at the counter. Or at least, they willing let you queue jump rather than take your chances waiting at your table. You also grab you own coffee. Small oddities that do not diminish from the generous portions, speedy service, and general deliciousness. read more

The Mill Creek Café has been around for a long time but they continually renovate and reinvent themselves. I hardly recognized the inside as some walls must have been moved or removed. We didn't make it here in time for breakfast so we ordered lunch. Actually we didn't even glance at the menu as the special sounded so good that both my guest and I ordered it. The special was a BLT sandwich on 9 grain bread with soup. The BLT is not at all like you might get a franchise chain. It was a combination of a grilled cheese sandwich and a BLT. It was delicious and the cheese seemed to hold it all together nicely. The BLT was substantial. The soup was a corn chowder with cheese. Actually I didn't notice the cheese in the soup and mine could have been warmer. My guest had tomato bisque and she said it was hot and spicy. I should have ordered that soup although mine was tasty too, just not hot . Coffee is self serve and there is a choice of light dark and very dark. I chose very dark and found it much to my liking. I thought refills must be free because being self serve, I served myself a refill. However upon paying the bill they said that refills are a dollar fifty. This was quite steep for drip coffee in a karaf that was self serve. The cups themselves were not large so this became a little irritant that could keep us from coming back. Service was cordial and prompt but no more. Overall the Mill Creek Café serves delicious food but it's more expensive than it should be, my soup was warm, and the extra cost self serve coffee refills were a put off. The next time I'm in the area I'll go to Tasty Tom's where the food is at least as good, your coffee cup is always full and I felt more welcomed. Our bill for two soup and sandwich specials two coffees and two refills was just under $40.00. read more

I have never been here before and the food is a reasonable price. Their brunch is really good and have vegetarian options. The neat thing is your fill up your own water and coffee at the drink station. Staff was really nice and there were two unisex washrooms, very clean. It was pretty busy for a weekend brunch so was glad we came around 11am. Will definitely come again . read more

Mill Creek Cafe is one of those little mom and pop joints I have passed a scadzillion times but never had the opportunity to visit. Until today. Located just before the Mill Creek Ravine Bridge, Mill Creek Cafe has a cozy atmosphere and a decent number of tables packed into a relatively small space. You place your order at the counter, pay for it right away, then seat yourself. Your food and/or drinks arrive shortly thereafter. The menu consists of breakfast items (served until 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. on weekends), sandwiches, soups, and light entrees. I just stopped by for coffee, and was impressed by the variety of hot beverages available. I decided on a chai latte. Prices were on par with other coffee shops, and the drink was served in a tall glass. I noticed a number of customers getting sandwiches or treats with their drinks. I was tempted by the delicious assortment of squares and cookies, but decided to save that for another time. The staff are courteous and the place is clean. Mill Creek Cafe is a hidden gem along Whyte Avenue. read more

I've been here a few times to meet people for work meetings so usually just had a drink and/or a muffin. We met some friends here for a Sunday Brunch awhile ago and I had the chance to experience more of the menu. I ordered the breakfast scramble and was very happy with the quality of food and speed of service. The staff seems great there and it is pretty popular for brunch! Some of our part were Celiac and had other food allergies as well. They seemed to accommodate everyone pretty well and people had many things to choose from. Get there early or you may have a hard time getting a good seat! read more

Searching for a great breakfast place to try something new, we stumbled upon the Millcreek Cafe on yelp. This quaint little cafe is tucked in just off the busy part of Whyte Ave. It had great art everywhere but the best highlight was the food. It was super tasty. I had the strawberry and Nutella French toast. If you're looking for dessert for breakfast it's a must. Give the place a shot and won't be disappointed. read more

Another good visit to Mill Creek. This time, I got the Turkey Crepe with Cranberry, Brie, and Pear. SO delicious! And the coffee is still good and strong. Al's Benny was good. Not mind-blowing, but acceptable. Points deducted for husband having to chase down server to get our check, because she was busy gabbing with a regular far away from our table. Also, not their fault, but the snarky lady who was annoyed by us heading for her booth area, not seeing the menus on the tables she'd used to reserve it (only our 2nd visit, hun, sorry). Only went for that part of the booth because it looked easier to get into with my messed up back. read more

After years of driving by this little corner cafe, I finally stopped in for lunch on the other day and was pleasantly surprised! The space inside is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside, and there's plenty of seating. Staff is very attentive, greeting you from the moment you step in and explaining the system of the cafe. Water and coffee is self serve at the front of the cafe, and there are also an assortment of drinks inside of a fridge near the front. Food arrived incredibly fast. Within 5 minutes of ordering, our food was out and on our table. Both my eating accomplice and I ordered the turkey sandwich, one with a soup side, one with a Caesar salad. Quality-wise, the sandwiches were alright. Ingredients were fresh and the bread (made in house!) was very good. It was nothing mind blowing though. The full sandwich was quite filling and more than enough to serve as both breakfast and lunch. I'm a bit of a decor snob when it comes to cafes and the Mill Creek Cafe's decor is... hodgepodge and not in the fun, eclectic kind of way, but in the "what is going on here?" kind of way. Other than that, the cafe was a good little place to stop in and grab a bite. With a huge window and stools, it makes the perfect place to sit and people watch. read more

This place Is a hidden gem. So delicious. I had the Mexican omelette and I would definitely go back and order it again.

Went for lunch with a friend, the new Decore was nice, service was fine and meal was ok, nothing bad about the entire experience, but nothing really memorable either. Wouldn't be in a big rush to go back. Pricey for what you get. read more

I don't know if I would call this the worst breakfast I've ever had, but I can't think of a worse one. Three questions arose from my meal - the larger breakfast: 1) Is bacon supposed to be a sickly gray in color? 2) Does this meal come with tomato? There was one sliver of tomato the size of a half a quarter. Is tomato included but this hilariously tiny section was all they had, or was it dropped onto my plate by accident (and if so, where did it come from!?!)? 3) Why was just the top crust of the toast cut off? Was there something wrong with the top of the bread and it was served anyway? As for the service, the young lady was nice enough, but the young man was pretty surly and seemed to be in a bad mood - he didn't so much communicate as he just grunted with a scowl on his face. read more

Not often do I leave a bad review but sadly this is one of those times. The location of the cafe is great, It is really close to my best friends house and easy to get too with a bit of parking nearby. The staff was not very friendly, could have just been that day but who knows. I received very pointed negative attitudes all around. The sandwich I ordered was the Montecristo. I have never had food that tasted so much like nothing. basically, pour egg whites into your mouth and that's what it was like. Soggy, bland and rubbery. Sadly I will not be returning to this place. read more

Where do I begin? This is by far my favorite café in the city. The service is great and the food is amazing! The breakfast menu is my fav. I recommend the Mexican Omelet but really, you can't go wrong with any of the omelet and breakfast burrito. If you stop by for lunch you should try their fresh, unique, home made soups. So good!!! They are also famous for their delicious sandwiches. My fav is the Turkey one... they use real roast turkey... thank you for that! And grab a coffee... it's the best! read more
