5 Edmonton Instagram-Worthy Coffee Shops You Need To Try!

I love coffee! And I can spend 2 hours (minimum) sitting in a coffee shop talking with my friends over coffee – it is one of my favourite times to connect with my people. But I bet a lot of Edmontonians don’t know where the best independant Edmonton coffee shops are! I’m going to help guide you to find your favourite Edmonton Instagram-worthy coffee shops before the end of this post – just promise me you’ll try at least one and let me know what you think!

My favourite cute coffee shops in Edmonton are:

1. Block 1912 | 10361 82 Ave | I have been coming to Block 1912 for almost 8 years – even before they renovated their space into a string light emporium! And if you’ve ever heard me talk about it or make plans about it, you know I always confuse the name by saying Block 1812 (like the Canadian war… if you’re into junior high social topics). It is located on Whyte Avenue, you can usually find good parking by the Shoppers Drug Mart south of Whyte Avenue or city street parking. They have decadent gelato, a huge selection of desserts, and you have to try their lavender lattes! Yum! P.S. Block 1912 is the perfect Edmonton date night spot!
2. Awake Coffee House (photos above)| 11019 9 Ave | I love going to Awake Coffee House because it is so far removed from the busy areas that you often have the place to yourself – and if you’re shy about taking coffee photos in crowded spaces this place is for you! a) the floor tiles and natural light are amazing and b) it’s very far south but if you’re travelling on the Henday it’s a piece of cake. It’s a cool space because on one side is the coffee shop and on the other side is a pharmacy! I love their vanilla lattes and cinnamon rolls – I highly recommend them!
3. Little Brick | 10004 90 St | I adore this space because it is so unique! The house, the location, the food – it’s warm and comfy in the winter, and airy and breezy in the summer. The outdoor garden space is great for kids where they can explore the plants and enjoy a snack at the tables. Their vanilla lattes are delicious, the breakfast sandwich is amazing, and my kids love their selection of scones! It’s a great brunch spot!
4. Leva | 11053 86 Ave | Leva is chaos during the summer months, Edmontonians love Leva! It’s not one of the Edmonton coffee shops that is open late, it closes at 8pm, considering it is located in the University of Alberta area. But if you’re able to try their margarita pizza or bread pudding with a side of gelato, do it! You will not regret it!
5. Credo | 10134 104 St | 104 Street is great in general, but I really enjoy people watching at Credo because it’s always busy. You can also get some super cute photos outside the coffee shop in the boutique-esque downtown street! I’m a fan of any of their lattes (vanilla latte, honey latte, dark chocolate mocha latte) and their delightful cookies!

There are so many different independant Edmonton coffee shops out there, and the numbers continue to grow, so don’t just stick to these ones once you’ve tried them all! Keep searching for new ones to try and support those local businesses!
