Got off work early enough to make it here! I've been wanting to try this cafe forever but, while it's right by where I live, their hrs are so minimal that I'm usually at work or elsewhere.

Anyways, the atmosphere is okay. About as hipster as one would expect. I like how bright and white it is but it's TINY. Very little outdoor seating (which isn't ideal on a cool day)... but I took my sandwich... more

I was out in search of a new café. I browsed around on Yelp and found this place called elm café. It looked worth a try indeed. I pulled up in the tree-shaded street and found parking quite close. (finding parking might be an issue sometimes) I walked up to the door and there were people out on the patio enjoying drinks in the sunshine of the morning. I opened the door and was greeted right... more

The food is great, and it's a nice welcoming atmosphere. But, they keep running out of things, like yogurt and not at the end of the day, but early. It's ridiculous, clearly you need to order more or make more or get a bigger fridge. Someone needs to sort it out because being sold out of a breakfast item before 9am on a weekday and before 10am on a weekend is annoying.

Did you know Elm Cafe does catering! I've actually never been to Elm, but I've been to Burrow and know they make good sandwiches. So when I was searching for a lunch caterer for a business meeting, I was delighted to see that Elm Cafe not only catered, but they had fantastic prices. The menu consisted of gourmet sandwiches, side salad, and cookie, and was about $13-$14 per person.

They have good sandwiches, if only they were closer to my work.

The place lacks any seating, Especially in winter (in summer they set up some seats outside - really nice place to sit and relax). Its a pick up and go place, since its literally a hole on the side of a building.

Very very good muffins and sandwiches! I'm a little undecided on some of the beans, they have different varieties on a regular basis but generally just 2 at a time. Still trying to figure out my preference on the coffees and cappuccino. The butter caramels for a buck are great too.

I ordered my coffee one foot in the store and the other foot outside. Elm Café is small and the lack of seating lets the smell of coffee and fresh panini sandwiches fill up the space.

This place is ideal on a warm day to enjoy their patio seating (the cafe is very tiny)! It really is a "hole in the wall", but that's really part of its charm. The coffee and food are ridiculously delicious -- arguably, some of the best in Edmonton. If you're looking to support local cafes and want a change to your typical lunch, this place is for you.

Too cramped and too snooty, but all is forgiven when you taste their coffee, which is outstanding. If you're staying, plan to do so in nice weather so you can snag one of three patio tables. Sitting inside, you're sure to have someone's a@s in your face. This is definitely a grab and go joint. I would prefer that they abandoned indoor seating altogether so that the wait is less claustrophobic.

Pizza as it is Meant to be
March 05, 2014

Once you have tried Famoso's pizza you will never want to eat those fast food pizzas again. This is how pizza should be, with fresh ingredients, hand-made for you when you order it, with a light, delicious crust that doesn't take away from the flavor of the toppings.
Highly recommended.

Great pizza, and I love my pizza! It is a thin crust pizza so for a family of 4 with two kids under 12 you will probably need 3 pizzas if you are very hungry which can start getting a little pricey.

If you don't mind wading through throngs of Edmonton hipsters to get to a great sandwich, then this is the place to go. I dislike the curry tuna, but so far I've enjoyed every single other sandwich - especially the pulled pork.

There is only one downside to the Elm cafe - they make a handful of custom creations every day, and if it's not to your liking you don't really have another option. However, they quite reliably have multiple, suitably diverse choices these days, so that really cuts the risk factor down.

As an added bonus (althought this really should become the status quo someday soon if you ask me) the Elm... more

WAAAAH. I wish I lived downtown so I could be closer to this gem of a sandwich shop. Barely larger than a closet, this cafe boasts some of the best sandwiches in the city -- and if the duck confit sandwich I had the other day was any indication, then they certainly have lived up to the acclaim. SO GOOD IT DESERVES ALL CAPS.

One of my biggest pet peeves with sandwiches are the bread-to-filling... more

I like grabbing sandwiches here. Their food are made from fresh ingredients and delicious. They serve good coffee too (49 parallel coffee from Vancouver). The place is tiny (there are a few counter sears).It is located in a hidden place, but people come here for good quick food and coffee.

I stopped here because I was in the neighbourhood, and I heard Elm was a pretty good coffee spot. I was a little surprised at how small the cafe is. There were a couple tables outside, and some seats at the window, but that was it. Elm Cafe doesn't really seem like the best option for me to sit down, have a coffee and "study" for school. It's a grab and go place, and that's okay.

I am so lucky to have Elm as my friendly neighbourhood coffee shop! Great food, drinks and service.

The food: OMG NOMS! The sandwiches are delicious and HUGE! There are two choices (warm and cold) for sandwiches at both breakfast and lunch. Nate (the owner) tweets the sandwiches everyday so you can check if you're into them before heading over.

Elm also makes fresh muffins every morning that... more

Perhaps the best coffee in Edmonton. I go out of my way on weekends to get my caffeine here.

The menu includes 2 options for breakfast, 2 sandwiches for lunch plus soup and muffins. I've tried a few of the sandwiches and a muffin, and now get Elm-sandwich cravings.

Parking is limited, but on weekends you can take your chances in the private lot adjacent to the building. Worth it.

Seating is... more

Finally I made my way to Elm Cafe! They post their delicious creations on twitter (@elmcafe), and I'd been meaning to stop by.

Although the breakfast wrap options were tempting, I wasn't too hungry, so I ordered a peach-apple muffin since I don't often bake with peaches at home, and it was great! A good-sized muffin, so I had half then and saved half for later. Also grabbed a small cappuccino... more

This is a great cafe. The coffee is good (they serve 49th parallel from Vancouver) , but what I go for is the eats. It is always something different and interesting.

Nate the chef that runs the cafe is creative and pushes the limits on the food. I really enjoy their parfaits, baking and breakfast sandwiches.

They space is nicely put together although it is small, and the few seats available... more

A tiny, tiny cafe that outputs an enormous energy and killer product and service! I have recently dropped coffee from my diet. It's killing me but my body thanks me. So what the heck am I reveiwing a cafe for? It's creativity and stellar attention to quality food and local sourcing!

This past weekend I was lucky enough to be involved in the TEDX Edmonton event. It was a long and inspiring day.... more

I'm pleased to say that I tried the Elm Cafe Catering!

The sandwiches were amazing and the bread was so fresh. I loved the muffins and can finally understand what all the hype is about.

I had both a BLT and a vegetarian and I found the vegetarian most flavourful and packed with some delicious spice and tasty vegees.

I would definitely order from them again and the table was most pleased with... more

ordered an Americano & maple butter muffin. Both were delicious! I wished I got the chance to try their sandwiches but was only able to drop in for a few minutes to check out the place~

Elm Cafe may be a small shop, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in quality and outstanding service.

Owner Nathan Box can be frequently seen behind the counter slinging coffee drinks -- make with 49th Parallel beans, which at the time of this writing, are exclusive to Elm in Edmonton. I frequently order a large latte from Elm, and am consistently impressed with how fantastic... more

Have been to Elms just three times but I love the coffee they serve on drip here. It's the 49th parallel roaster's coffee which is pretty unique and flavorful. A great change from say, a Transcend go-er since they get beans from various parts of the world - Guatemala, Columbia and parts of Africa as well. It's a really small cafe with place for 4-6 people to sit, but with great functionality.

I really love what Nate has done with this tiny space. I've enjoyed every soup and sandwich I've tried and admire the fact that despite the daily changes in options, the quality is always high. Elm serves 49th Parallel coffee and they do an excellent job pulling Epic espresso.

How good is Elm Cafe? The Second Cup around the corner has since shut down.

What can I say? People love local, fresh food, amazing coffee, and wonderful, friendly service. What's for breakfast/lunch? Check out @elmcafe's latest tweet. Then head on down to see Nate and grab a muffin, sandwich, and a coffee.

I've had their Americanos, 49th Parallel coffee, and delicious tea and haven't had a... more

I love Elm Cafe. I was so excited when it opened. No more Second Cup for this girl! Their coffee is great, the sandwiches are delicious, the muffins are tasty, the service is friendly. I highly recommend it. My only issue with the place is that it's basically take-out only, with hardly any seating. It's not really a problem in the summer, but hopefully things still work out for them come winter... more
