Food was very good, although I love spicy food, it was a wee much as flavour got lost in the heat of peppers after a few bites. Service could have been a little better or perhaps another server on a Wednesday evening. Only 1 on and she had a larger table and 3 smaller ones, pretty good overall. She had a great personality and knowledgeable of the menu. The live vines added to the ambience that hung above winding and weaving above. read more

Unfortunately I didn't see the place so my review is only about their food. We had take out for a work function and the selection was great! The food was fantastic and very delicious! I tried every item and all of them were delicious! I'm glad a coworker suggested getting food from this place because now it's on my list and I want to go their actual place and try other items and see the business! The food was fantastic and I highly recommend it! :) read more

This place is so cute with all the greenery inside! The barista was knowledgeable about the menu . I was concerned with the Vietnamese coffee being too sweet but she said it was just right. I really enjoyed it. My friend had the seasonal kombucha (I'm blanking on the flavor) The seating arrangements were awesome! We loved the elevated table toward the back of the restaurant. I would recommend this place to anyone in Edmonton. read more

I came to the Moth Cafe a while back and tried their Purple Yam Risotto with 2 pieces of Jackfruit Crab Cake and Chocolate Mousse. The Jackfruit Crab Cake is definitely worth trying. The Purple Yam Risotto was really good as well where the rice (cooked with the sauce), shiitake mushrooms, purple yam, and brussels sprouts stood out the most. The chocolate mousse was quite rich. Overall, I'd rate my experience a 8.5/10 read more

Seasonal, plant-based food is only getting more popular these days and with good reason. My old favourite restaurant to enjoy this type of dining used to be Noorish Conscious Eatery but since their closing there wasn't anything that quite compared... Until I discovered The Moth. Owned by the same people behind vegetarian mainstay Cafe Mosaics, The Moth opened in The Quarters area of Boyle Street in late 2017. EDify Magazine named them Best Vegan Restaurant 2023 and it was high time for me to experience everything that this beautiful restaurant has to offer. Did I mention that the restaurant is beautiful? Because this place might be the most gorgeous restaurant in all of Edmonton. The dusty rose coloured façade is only the beginning and you'll soon notice the vine-covered patio. Inside, you will not believe your eyes. The exposed wooden ceiling beams are positively draped with pothos vines and the space is exploding with greenery. There are beautiful macramé wall hangings, gorgeous pendant lighting and tile work, plus a feature wall of sage green wall paper with copper metallic birch trees on it. (I love this wall paper - I used the exact same wall paper to decorate my son's bedroom when he was a baby.) The space is light and bright and breezy. It's an urban hippy's paradise. I don't know about you, but this room is entirely my esthetic. You have to see it for yourself. I find it really special that a restaurant of this beauty exists in an area of Edmonton that is often viewed as "less desirable." There are gems to be found in every corner of this city if you are willing to find them. Our upbeat and friendly server took us to a bright table by a window and I was excited to begin exploring the menu. There is an entire page dedicated to beverages that range from coffee, tea lattes, medicinal tea, cold drinks, and alcohol. It all sounds wonderful and I'd really like to buy some of their teas to take home, if possible. All of the mushroom-based drinks sound like magic and of course they've got kombucha on tap. I was happy to find Dieu du Ciel! beer on the menu, my favourite craft brewery in Montreal. In the end I decided to try the Iced Cashew Chai (Chai, cashew, ice blend - $8.00) because it seemed ideal for a hot and sunny day. Decadent and rich, yet cool and refreshing, I loved everything about this drink! Not only did it taste like an amazing chai but the creaminess from the cashew really took the enjoyment to the next level. The topping with bits of rose petal was an excellent touch. Almost too good to not be considered dessert, this drink could easily become a not-so-guilty pleasure. The food menu features all-day breakfast and an entire section dedicated to broth. Broth (especially bone broth) is really hot right now and The Moth is going to capitalize! Except that all of the broths at The Moth are vegan, of course. Every dish on the menu is plant-based and does not contain dairy, eggs, or animal products. There's also a decidedly Asian feeling to much of the menu which I always welcome. I thought that the Banh Mi + Broth was especially cute - the perfect vegan version of soup and a sandwich. I decided to try the Coconut Lime Laksa (Mildly spicy, coconut, almond-based galangal broth with seasonal veggies, vermicelli, and lime - $22.00) because I'm a huge fan of laksa, a spicy noodle soup from Singapore. Admittedly different than the laksas I've had in the past, this one had it's own special story to tell. Delicate and skillfully prepared, the broth was creamy with coconut and packed a big, clean flavour. The vegetables were bright and crisp - I loved the use of brussels sprouts. I especially formed a love affair with the shiitake mushrooms within the broth. They were so flavourful and meaty and they became a big highlight. I almost found the vermicelli noodles unnecessary, as they added little value or flavour to the dish. Overall, this take on laksa was quite lovely and unexpectedly big on aromatic flavours. I couldn't leave without trying some dessert and the PB Chocolate Cupcake ($6.00) was speaking my language. It seemed that many of the desserts were already sold out so I was very happy to hear that this one was still available. Chocolate and peanut butter? Two of my most favourite all-time flavour combos! I really liked the fluffy peanut butter topping with a hardened chocolate drizzle a lot. The chocolate cupcake itself was decent but I did find the edges a bit dry. At the end of the day, I'm never going to be mad about a peanut butter and chocolate anything. The Moth has a really cool waste-reducing program where they will only let you do take-out (or take home leftovers from your meal) if you bring your own reusable containers (BYORe). I think that this is an excellent idea because all of those to-go containers create so much garbage. The Moth is a supremely beautiful space and worth visiting for the atmosphere alone, however the food is very good and the drinks are even more special. I'm an read more

Oh. My. God. Who knew eating PLANTS could be this satisfying!? I went to check out @themothcafe on Jasper Ave the other day- and holy smokes. Swipe to see the INCREDIBLE decor and atmosphere. It didn't feel like Edmonton. I like to dabble in plant-based meals from time to time, because I think it's just a good thing to do. This chickpea curry was a SHOW STOPPER. If you've followed me for a while, you know spicy food is my jam, but I NEVER trust a menu when it calls something spicy. This was PERFECTION in a bowl. The mix between fruity and spicy was incredible. The heat level was perfect (for me). The server said there had been complaints that it was too hot and they had to take it down a notch. I literally need to go back and try more things on their menu after that curry. My lunch date had Chips n' Shrooms, a vegan take on fish and chips, but with shiitake mushrooms. She also found her meal (brand new to the menu) delicious!!! It's a 5 out of 5 from me... I have another work lunch date coming up in a week and I will definitely be suggesting this spot! read more

I have been going to The Moth to eat or enjoy a cup of coffee for a couple years, but since new staff started working this summer, I have not had a pleasant experience going their. I feel like they treat me like I am a child and it is belittling. Sometimes I play a little music to myself at a table and it bothers other customers. I get that, but staff is belligerent towards me and I don't feel comfortable giving them any money, nevermind the generous tips I've given in the past. I am through going there. Shout out to Eva and Marissa who I don't include in my dislike of this establishment. I hope changes are in store before they go out of business. read more

The Moth Cafe - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I went here a couple months ago, and WOW! I'm super very impressed by this place. The vegetarian options are GODLY. Absolutely loved the textures and garnishing they used. I'm seriously obsessed. I can't wait until my next visit. They really put attention to detail, and I would like to give special props to the decoration and the atmosphere. It's absolutely perfect! My pictures are a bit horrid but you can see that it's quite nice. If you are thinking about giving the Moth Cafe a visit, then I would urge you to try it out. It's AMAZING! read more

Great atmosphere, loved at least one of the staff lol. Their pastries are good! The banana cream pie is to dies for

I am a big fan of The Moth and always have a great experience when I go there and treat myself. While I've been sticking to takeout on my past few visits, they really do have a great space. The large windows that let in lots of natural light, the exposed ceiling, and the simple decor makes for a comfortable, cozy dining experience. Similar to their sister restaurant Cafe Mosaics, the Moth's menu draws inspiration from comfort foods but with a slightly elevated twist. My go-to nearly every time I order from them is the "Crab" Cake Benny. It is a melt-in-your-mouth experience and by far the best vegan benny in Edmonton. They are fairly expensive compared to similar restaurants and honestly, probably not worth it if you're ordering from an app with additional fees (the benny ends up being over $30 on Skip the Dishes) but if you are dining in or able to pickup yourself, it is a nice treat and worth the price. read more

The Moth Cafe - Vegan Cafe. . 1) Breakfast Burrito (17$) & 2) Mushroom Mocha (6$) . What a lovely cafe. The decor and concept are all amazing. The burrito was delicious and huge. The rest of the food we saw looked unreal as well. Also, they are completely contactless and covid friendly, for anyone wondering. . Food - loveee and would go back. Looks pricy, but big portions and great quality. Mocha- didn't love this and quite pricy. Vibe - 10/10 love. Super cute and unique. . Note: their chai concentrate is amazing also. . Great date spot or gift for your fave vegan/ healthy food lover. read more

This cafe is beautiful inside! Its decorations are modern and the space is airy and very welcoming. Our food was delicious! I ordered the Pad Thai and my partner had the Not Chicken Burger. I also had the Carrot Cupcake which was to die for! We ordered our food online on our phones and it was brought to our tables. We had the option to pay online or in-store after our meal. Service was great and so was the food. Highly recommend if you're down for vegan food! read more

I'm back home for the holidays and have been using the time to explore some spots in Edmonton that I haven't tried yet. The Moth was such a pleasant surprise! My bestie and her husband recommended it to me (with my other bestie adding "It's soooo cute!") since I am vegetarian, and the veggie life in Edmonton can be a bit of a challenge. They still wanted to hang with me despite my awful cold, and I used that opportunity to order every healing elixir on the menu! Okay, not quite, but I did order the Lemongrass broth and some time of immunity tea. The Lemongrass broth was like a pho dish, and actually reminded me a lot of the lemongrass soup at Freshii. It was really good and the quantity was huge. Vermicelli noodles, various mystery vegetables, mushrooms, and a touch of faux meat. Not usually a fan of faux meat but this was really well done ... not too much and not pretending too hard to be something it's not. The broth was deliciously spicy but not overwhelming and sure helped cleared my nostrils! My friends ordered a curry dish and a sandwich. Both loved their meals and felt that they were really flavourful and filling. We all got take away boxed, and my soup came in a reusable jar! My tea was meant to be some type of healing tea ... it smelled and tasted like hay but that was fine with me. It was earthy! And I did wake up feeling better the next day so maybe it worked? Overall, The Moth is a great visit on a downtown Edmonton food crawl and the decor was super cute too! Will definitely be back! read more

Very shocked and disappointed they sent out a burnt bun with their burger. Considering a bun would not cost much at all, I would expect them to have replace it if it was burnt as badly as it was. I reached out to them directly with this issue (before posting this public review) and recieved no response. Will not be dining here again, nor will I recommend it. read more

The Moth Cafe - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

It's a vegan café coffee shop. Really nice and light and airy inside with plants running all across the ceiling kind of folk art style on the walls. Little patio facing north and one facing west. Nice Place to chill. They are licensed so you can get organic beers and wines as well. And they do have a food menu. All in all a great spot considering it's edge of downtown low income location. read more

So, I've been vegan for a while, previously vegetarian. I've gotten more so into cooking since I've become vegan so I find myself looking for the best vegan restaurants and critiquing them like I'm Gordon Ramsey or something. I started my meal with the bulletproof, which is espresso blended with coconut oil. Personally, I don't have much experience with coconut oil as I don't purchase it because of it's high price, and because there are alternatives. However, I loved this coffee but I felt compelled to get the macadamia milk and maple syrup for some reason which just ruined it. I ended up spending $6.50 on the drink which I ruined after two sips. Lesson learned! One thing about me is that I find it extremely difficult to choose what I want to eat when the menu has so many options and a benefit to becoming vegetarian (and later on vegan) was that it made choices much easier when eating at different establishments with few vegetarian/vegan options. A year ago my girlfriend also went vegan and as such we eat out almost only at vegan restaurants. Thankfully she has an eye for what she wants and so I leaned on her for help. Since our last few visits to the US she discovered real Mexican food and just fell in love, but since then nothing has come close to the taste that she experienced down there. It's become harder to find that taste even among most Mexican vegan food. I figured, however, to give the enchiladas a try so that she can also experience it also while she ordered the tofu scramble. Safe to say if it's not Mexican people making it then it's not going to taste very Mexican either. (The jury is still out on whether Mexicans can make good Mexican vegan.) My enchilada went cold super fast, my bread was way too thick and the contents didn't really have much flavour. I could say I was very disappointed but I'm not super picky. I was full with what I had eaten, although I must say I couldn't get enough of the salad. It was super simple with just a seasoning of salt and pepper but it did the trick. With regards to my partners breakfast (tofu scramble with a side of hollandaise) the hollandaise took a couple of tastes but it grew on us. The bowl itself was just okay; there was really nothing special about it. The rice was a surprise, buried under everything else, so it made the dish seem bipolar. The first part was mainly a tofu dish and the second half was a rice dish. The vegan sausage was sliced and scarce in the dish so you couldn't really get a taste for it. Would she recommend it? No. To compliment our breakfast we ordered a side of spicy potato hash which, overall, was probably the best dish. The corn was a nice addition to the hash but the skins of the kernels would wedge themselves between our teeth. The overall experience was as good as any other place we've been to in the city. The cafe is gorgeous, being so open and airy, and I would surely come back for a coffee and dessert to see what the experience is like later in the day. However, I wouldn't necessarily say this place is better or worse than any other vegan spots in Edmonton. By the end I was full, so was my girlfriend. I hope more vegan spots come to Edmonton as the benefits of veganism continue to become more prominent in the mainstream of Canadian food habits. This will surely push restaurants to focus more on the food which is ultimately what I'm looking at. Stop by Moth on a sunny day; you'll be glad you did. read more

The Moth Cafe - Dining area at The Moth - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

This place is lovely. Tucked away just off 97 st, this is an all vegan restaurant. I have been a few times but this time I was inspired to actually leave a review. The food is always delicious. But I have to say that the big moth burger was the best of the bunch. In addition to the food they also have a large array of alternative lattes and medicinal to use and elixirs. There's also beer, wine and gin. The service is polite although a little sparse. The cool thing is that they enter your order on an iPad so as soon as you order it is sent to the kitchen. I really love how much the servers know about the food. It's not like other cafés where are you ask questions and I can't answer them. Obviously at vegan restaurants it's important to be able to answer questions about the food. You also have to save room for dessert. There's a wide selection of vegan desserts that are to die for. We had the banana cream pie made with coconut cream. read more

Little sister to my long time love Cafe Mosaics, I had high hopes for this little cafe just East of downtown on Jasper Ave. We were in the area on a sunny Sunday and decided to stop for brunch. My fiance and I appreciated the well curated menu with many different options than other vegan or plant based restaurants we have visited. The interior was beautifully designed they have a gorgeous (albeit small) patio out front if you're lucky enough to snag a seat. If not - not to worry, the cafe is filled with lots of natural light and the windows are opened wide on warm days. Service was prompt and the wait staff all looked like they enjoyed their jobs - unlike many restaurants in the city. We ordered the Jackfruit Crab Cakes and Tofu Breakfast Bowl and thoroughly enjoyed both! The jackfruit was so tender and well seasoned. We washed it down with the Mojito Mint Kombucha on tap by Tru Buch which was crisp and refreshing. My partner said we would be back for dinner and when I inquired when, he said tonight. ;) The only downside for us was parking with a truck was a little difficult as the lot is quite small and often full as it shares with Syphay. read more

We've been to the Moth for brunch and lunch. I've had the chai pancakes, the breakfast bowl, the zucchini spaghetti and tasted the jackfruit enchilada. All of the above were very good. I will go back to have an enchilada of my own, among other things that I'd like to try. There's beer, wine and gin. There's teas, milky drinks (almond, soy, cashew and coconut) and elixirs - like healthy shots. The desserts look fantastic but I haven't yet tried any. The parking lot is cramped and awkward, for me that's the only significant drawback. I would not say this is a place to go if you're in a hurry. Good food takes some time and there can be a wait to get a table. There is a beautiful patio full of greenery and viney plants. Overall, really like it and it feels good to eat there. read more

Went here for a late lunch/ early dinner with some friends. Parking is little difficult because there is very limited space due to the location. The restaurant is vegan. That means there won't be any dairy products or eggs, but the food is scrumptious. Ordering is a very easy experience, and they're even thorough enough to ask if you have any allergies (which is important because one of my friends is dangerously allergic to coconut). The menu also has a quick guide beside each item so you can see you what it does contain in it. I had the Moth Breakfast Bowl, which had scrambled tofu and some grilled veggies in it, served with cashew based sauce. The plating is bright and visually appealing. The taste was also amazing. The scrambled tofu is a bit dry so you really do need to use the sauce provided with it. I also had the lavender Sage Tea Latte which blew my mind. I was craving for some lavender drinks which is surprisingly difficult to find in Edmonton so I was really happy to find something in their menu. I ordered it with soy milk. It's very sweet but very comforting. Perfect for a cold day. Staff was super friendly, the atmosphere is very relaxing. Would definitely recommend! read more

Wow! I often drive by the Moth Cafe and have been pretty curious about it. A friend of mine who is vegan suggested we try it out today, and I was super impressed! I am not vegan myself, so I scoped out the menu before going to make sure there was something I would like to eat. I was blown away by the gorgeous photos on their website. They have clearly put a lot of thought, time, and careful intention into what they do. We both ordered the chai pancakes, and I had a coffee with soy milk (delicious). I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. The pancakes were enough for two meals for me, and I loved the walnuts and blueberries. The cashew cream was a bit too sweet for me, but I enjoyed the couple bites I had with my meal! My favorite thing about this place is the appearance. There are plants, hanging lights, and beautiful furniture everywhere. Even the bar was a real treat for my eyeballs. Our first server was lovely and super helpful. The second one seemed to be rushing us to leave (we stayed 1.5 hours and it wasn't busy) which I found slightly offputting, but wouldn't stop me from returning! I'm excited to check out some of the social events here in the future. Good job, moth cafe! read more

Enter through an oversized wooden door into the latest vegan cafe to hit YEG's streets. Friendly faves welcome you into the cafe and find you a comfy seat in the airy space, full of plants and lamps hanging from the ceiling, a stage area that has seating occupied by young mothers and little babies when I was in. The welcoming vibes were overwhelming. The bar area is large and one section is dedicated to Kombucha however I was drawn to those amazing tea lattes offered on the menu. I ordered the cardamom and rose latte with almond milk and every sip was like a warm hug. Topped with dried rose petals it was almost too pretty to drink. Now for the food! I shared the GF Jackfruit Crabcakes which came with a thick coconut cream on the side. I actually preferred it without the cream as the crabcake was so moist and delicious on it's own. I also had the raw lasagne. I wasn't sure what to expect from this but the veggies were perfectly paired with the pistachio. read more

This awkwardly placed restaurant is such a hidden gem. The food is all plant based and they are attempting to be more environmentally sustainable. I ordered the Moth Spaghetti ($17) and the hippy sangria ($10). The spaghetti has "meat" balls with a tomato sauce. The dish is slightly spicy but absolutely delicious. The entire dish is not made of excessively processed ingredients which makes it even better. The sangria is a strong "meh". Overall the experience was great! read more

Moth Cafe is vegan friendly and offer a very very large menu for drinks from hot to cold! I was very interested in trying how they are able to convert a fruit or veggi into a meat. I ordered the Peppermint lavender tea latte (almond milk), the aroma of the tea was amazing! the taste was okay, nothing special. Just taste like peppermint tea with some lavender petals. We ordered the crab cake as starters and I absolutely loved it! The crab cake is made with jack fruit and the jack fruit has a similar texture to crab meat. The dipping sauce was a coconut cream of some sort and it melt perfectly on the 'crab cakes'. I ordered the non-chicken pot pie and it was okay. It was dry and sweet. The mushroom was good but did not bring that chicken pot pie flavour I was expecting. Overall, the meal was not bad, but did not 'meat' my expectation. I will definitely come again to try different drinks and try another vegan friendly dish. read more

Walked into this cafe around 2 pm for brunch and it was really busy!! It is located right next to Syphay off of Jasper downtown. There is parking right up front to this cafe and we were lucky to find a spot and we were seated in about 10 minutes for a table for three. The decor of this cafe is absolutely gorgeous. There are cute lights with plants hanging from the ceiling. Some of the tables have marble tops and there are seats covered in fur and even a hammock in the corner. It is so pretty inside and yet had a cozy feel to it at the same time. The menu is huge - pages and pages of drinks and food. The mains are right on top and the breakfast at the very back and all the drinks in the middle. The drinks were so interesting - kombucha and herbal drinks, tea, smoothies and coffee with so many flavours. I decided to try the lavender sage peppermint tea latte and it was really yummy! In the fine print it said that it has lucid dreaming elixir in it haha whatever that is! My friend got the cardamom rose tea latte and that was super yummy as well. These drinks are expensive! It was $8 but I would definitely get it again because it was great! For food we tried the moth breakfast bowl, chai tea pancake and the taro risotto with mushrooms. The moth breakfast bowl is one of their most popular dishes - it has tofu, vegan sausage, asparagus, tomatoes, potatoes and a creamy dill sauce. The taro risotto with mushrooms was purple and really cool to look at it. The chai tea pancakes were so thick and it was a lot of food for one person so maybe get one to share! To be honest I liked the food of this place but I didn't love it and it not going to become my go to brunch spot. I would go back for the decor and the drinks though! Really appreciate that more restaurants are catering to people with food restrictions as well! read more

Went on good Friday around lunch, it was pretty busy and I waited about 20 minutes for a table of 2. The restaurant is so beautiful, and has a great vibe. I loved the sitting area on the far side of the restaurant. The gender neutral washrooms are very clean as well. The servers are all very friendly and always asking if I needed anything. My server was good, nothing out of this world but he gave no reasons to complain. We ordered 2 orders of the Moth Spaghetti and unfortunately waited about 20-30 minutes for it to get to the table- but then again they may have held our meals as we shared some Green Onion Ciabatta. Never the less, it was delicious! Mind you I am not vegan/vegetarian, and the "meatballs" were fantastic. Both the appetizer and the entree were beautiful medleys of flavor. Will deffos make a trip back! read more

I went with my love and my two best friends and none of us are vegan but we loved our dinner here. The atmosphere is really relaxing which we appreciated because we could have felt nervous having never eaten in a plant based place before but we didn't! I felt so comfortable with our server that I showed her a picture of one of the dishes I found on their website and she helped me order (see below!). The interior is so lovely with string lights and plants and these really soft grey tones. It's so cute and I'd definitely recommend it as a girls night out or first date place. Because we were on a girls night out ourselves, we splurged a bit and each got a drink - I got the Lavender Sage Gin and Tonic ($12.5) which had lemon lavender kombucha and lavender petals on top and the two others got the Moth Paralyzer ($10) with coconut cream. Very very good drinks! Now for the noms: My bowl - the Banana Blossom Shiitake Miso ($15) - was spicy but you can order it without. The mushrooms were so good, I wouldn't say anything was lost with it being plant based. It was SO GOOD. My girlfriend had the Lady Bug Poke Salad ($16) and it was such a big bowl. The watermelon and all the veggies were fresh and wonderful. I have a couple more items on my wish list so we will most definitely go back. :) read more

This place gives off a really nice rustic hippy feel. From a small patio, to vines all up the wall & a cafe type of environment this place screams "relaxtion mode over 9000". The place is also plant based, which is a bonus, meaning they do not serve meat or dairy. They are also fully licensed! The service was decent and the waiter was really nice, but she seemed a little overwhelmed as she was serving the entire cafe. The food was priced moderately amd the drinks were amazing!

The Moth Cafe is a pleasant vegan/hipster restaurant. You don't need to identify with either of these separate but sometimes overlapping groups to enjoy the food (I am neither but it was still good times). The decor is sparse, yet functional and pleasing to the eye. The atmosphere is open and welcoming. The staff are friendly, helpful and eager to explain anything on the menu. I had the Coconut Lime Laska (soup) , which was filled with noodles and tasted of coconut, lime and cilantro. There were large mushrooms and various other vegetable bits, which were very good. I also enjoyed Roasted Cauliflower as a side. One of my dinner companions had the Purple Rissoto with Beets and Carmelized Onions. Looked good, but I didn't know anyone well enough to ask for a taste. It's an enjoyable dinner experience and I am sure to return and try other elements of an intriguing menu. read more

The Moth Cafe - Crab cakes bennies - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

My gf and I had been looking forward to eating here for a while. Finally made it but oh geez, where do I start. The cafe was not busy so we were seated immediately. The cafe was sweltering hot and had no fans or AC. Our server arrived quickly and we asked for a fan or some A/C to be turned on and she responded that they did not have either. She offered us water which we gladly accepted. Note: Because this is during COVID-19 guests were required to place orders via cellphone/ qr reader. This was understandable so no problem there. Once linked to the app however, it was very glitchy and took 4 attempts to successfully order. Menu- the menu IMO was limited and most items contained "soy" which both of us are allergic to, so that was problematic. Many people have sensitivity to soy, therefore, for a "healthy" restaurant, we were quite surprised see that soy was in almost every menu item. That said we found 2, soy free options and ordered Pad Thai $18 and Jackfruit Crab Cakes serv of 4/$13. It was uncomfortably hot in the cafe and so we each decided to order the Curam Elixir drink for a refreshment. When the drinks arrived, we were disappointed to see we were served 2 hot drinks. No where in the description did it say and elixir was a hot beverage. Ugh, we did not want to drink hot beverages when we were already boiling hot! Had we known it was a hot beverage we never would have ordered them. And..the elixirs tasted terrible. While we were perusing the menu we also noticed that we were being charged $0.50 a glass for tap water. Although 0.50 is a paltry amount to me, if a patron enters a cafe and sits down and is offered water, based on principles, perhaps the server should disclose the fact that there is a charge. I was bothered that I was not told and shocked that I was forced to pay for tap water! The Food - Pad Thai was bland and contained mostly rice noodles and very little of the 'vegetables' in the description. The Jack Fruit Crab Cakes were so oily I could not even eat them, moreover they were tasteless. The crab cakes just coated my tongue in oil. I brought them home because I wanted to see how much oil was in them. I squeezed 1 in a paper towel and the paper towel was soaked with oil. (see photos) Disgusting! I definitely would not call that healthy by any stretch of the imagination. Based on what we were served, our food was grossly overpriced! Overall, after reading so much Hype about the Moth Cafe, it was a huge let down. I do not recommend this restaurant, nor will I ever return. read more

This is one of my go to spots in Edmonton. I have brought friends from out of town to eat here and they cannot wait to ever come back. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat. The café is very modern and cozy. Everything on the menu is delicious. I love coming here for breakfast. I always try something different whenever I come here. I do have a weakness for the Lemongrass Minty Vermicelli Bowl. I would highly recommend this café!! read more
