Tight little spot with serious coffee game. Minimalist design, but the espresso is anything but minimal, smooth, rich, and pulled perfectly. Great outdoor seating when the weather’s decent, and the vibe inside is clean and modern without feeling cold. Baristas know their craft, and it shows. Solid go-to for a focused work sesh or quick caffeine hit. Easy parking, easy choice.

My Cup of drip coffee tasted really good. I very much like the red lid on white cups. I support local business often. My 1st visit was 5/5 for empathy. In my 2nd visit, your service rating sunk to 1/5 for empathy. My guess is that I got grumpy employees back to back? Staff present (black hair girl w piercings and the very tall guy) on last Tuesday was shocking. She gave me the impression she didn’t want to “waste” her time to explain to me about the coffee types. The guy when I asked about the cream and milk barely replied. The containers of cream and milk do not say if it’s 1%, 2%, whole milk, organic, etc. You have to ask. Will you add labels on the milk and creams to fix this small detail? I paid for my own coffee and was prompted with a tip when I was not served any food and neither had my order brought to me anyway. This type of tip is unjustifiable. Owners, pay your employees better! If I had my order brought to me like a server does in a restaurant then it would be ideal to tip. I work with customer service after 6 years at  where I obtained excellent quality of training in Customer Service with low bias. At my current pt job I also do not receive tips. I chose to work in those places because I enjoy the atmosphere and because pay was fair for the level of instruction necessary. Still to justify tips to be the only way to retain good quality employees still is not fair to customers. In some places in Europe and Australia they manage No tipping jobs fairly well it seems. I hear you. Based on future visits this review may improve. I bumped it to 3/5 based on your coffee cup. Enjoy your Summer folks! 🙂

Their latte tastes much too weak.. to the point I had to question if there was even any espresso in it. Bagels were so-so with too much cream cheese. Should offer it on the side. Service was polite. You can see lots of cute dogs around.

This is my go-to coffee shop on the way to the office in the mornings. Their coffee is well rounded and smooth and their fresh baked goodies are amazing! Love that they are local and support local businesses 👏 Hands down one of the best coffee shops in Edmonton.

This is my boyfriend's go-to coffee place in the area and after coming here, it's easy to understand why. If I was in this area I'd definitely be a regular.

I ordered a Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk and my boyfriend got the London Fog with Oat Milk. Both drinks were absolutely delicious. My latte was rich, creamy, and very tasty. The London Fog was also foamy and creamy, and the Earl Grey flavor shined through the drink. Everything was lovely. I was so impressed with this place that we came back again the next day.

We ordered the London Fog, Golden Latte, some sort of mixed berry muffin, and a chocolate pastry. Both pastries were pretty good, and we finished them both quickly. My boyfriend's Golden Latte was great too. It reminded me of a Chai but this was coffee so that was cool.

On the second consecutive day we went, the barista served us our drinks and pastries which was nice. This place has great service and nice employees. Although the tables are a little small, we love this place and I look forward to coming back again.

p.s. I didn't take good pictures the first or second time because I was either really hungry or looking forward to drinking my latte lol. The latte art on my Vanilla Latte was beautiful though!

We always enjoy our visits to the Coffee Bureau on weekend mornings 🙂 The outdoor seating area / surrounding benches and parks are perfect for enjoying your coffee in the sun.
Staff are all friendly and the drinks are always great quality, and served promptly! I am so grateful to have a sweet coffee shop like this so close to home now!~

A coffee shop with the look and feel of a gourmet cafe, however their cappuccino and latte game is weak, even with an extra shot. At best it’s instant coffee flavoured milk… need to find a new roast, and not over steam the milk.

Staff was friendly and welcoming tho.
