Café Aria - Edmonton, Alberta

Faisal H. (.

I am pleased that we have this kind of cafe in Edmonton. A high end cafe which serves amazing quality coffee and food. All the ingredients are locally sourced and organic. The pastries and bread are made in house. If you order an eggs Benny from Cora’s and try to compare the quality to an Eggs Benny at cafe aria, you’re crazy. The two items are night and day and trust me, the eggs Benny will be 100x better than Cora’s.

Items I would recommend
- eggs Benny smoked salmon
- beef burger
- grilled chicken burger
- salmon croissant
- salted caramel latte

Those have to be my favourites

My daughter and I visited Café Aria and had a wonderful experience. We both ordered hot chocolates, which were rich and delicious, but not too sweet. My daughter ordered the pancakes, I had the French toast (which I started eating immediately and forgot to get a picture of), and we got a side of hashbrowns to share. All of the food was absolutely delicious and was presented beautifully. The prices here are definitely higher than a standard café, but the great food and drinks, lovely ambiance, and friendly staff made it worth it in our eyes. We will definitely be back 😊

cappuccino at breakfast along with a grilled vegetable toast and I was really amazed! Excellent interior design with a really comfortable setting and
first-rate customer service. Highly recommend...

Great interior design. The benches and chairs were comfortable. Not suitable for business meeting. The volume was pretty loud here. Ordered chocolate and scones. Price was higher than normal places. The hot chocolate was a bit too sweet for me. I prefer heavier chocolate flavor and more creamy or milky. Scone was dry but I liked the flavor. Would be better if it was more moistened or heated.

The atmosphere and decor is beautiful. The food was delicious. However, it is unreasonably overpriced. The salmon eggs Benedict, while delicious, was on a small croissant with a thin layer of salmon, 2 small eggs and came with a large portion of greens for $36. For that price, there should be double the portion of the Benedict and get rid of the greens. If prices were a couple of dollars cheaper, it would definitely be a regular breakfast joint of ours. Our drinks were also good, again, overpriced.

Also, why am I tipping on top of that, when the only service provided aside from taking our order at the counter, is to bring us our food? Make the tips 5 or 10% if you MUST, asking 15+ when there is no service provided is absolutely insane on top of the already high prices.

An amazing experience to taste your coffee with a large range of French pastry.Excellent customer service..The crew are very friendly and knowledgeable.The place is cozy and very clean.
However! The croissants are overpriced/The world average price is €2.8.

The pastries are lovely, they are super delicious. The food is very tasty as well, it is well made and the chef is excellent! It is on the pricier side $15-$17 for a mini tart/slice, but at least the one I tried was worth the price due to taste, high quality and ingredientes - it had a lot of nuts, about $8 for a croissant . Most of the staff is super friendly and provide excellent customer service. However I do not recommend this place if you have children, I thinks they think its too “upscale” and they don’t seem to like it. My friend lives 2 min away and brought her kid with us to the cafe and it was not a good experience. She always tips more when we bring a kid/baby to any restaurant/cafe and pick after ourselves. Her kid also did not screamed or cried during our visit(was not running around or being loud), but we were uncomfortable the whole time we were there due to attitude of some staff. It left us with such a bad impression that my guests asked me not to invite them there again and I am unlikely to come back soon.
I did not want to make an uncomfortable situation even more uncomfortable, thus I decided it was best to just leave. The cafe is situated in a community full of families so I thought it would be fine.

This cafe is something Edmonton was missing! A beautiful place to unwind and hang out with friends for a tasty pastry and coffee/latte or meet for high-end brunch. Aesthetically very pleasing and instagram worthy! We had the pleasure of interacting with the manager who personally greeted us and explained in detail extensive process of the pastry we purchased (the lemon pastry) . The staff and service were amazing as well!!
