La Bosco Bakery & Cafe - Edmonton, Alberta

First time coming here. Met up with one of my friends. It was busy but still found seats . It’s a seat your self cafe/restaurant. I got a slice of cake and croissant with ham and cheese. Along with a “Canadiano “ iced. All the items were very nice . Tasted great.
The atmosphere was lovely. Definitely a cute place. If you want a quiet place to have coffee it may not be your jam but the other items on the menu for breakfast/brunch looked so good and worth to come back and check out. I definitely plan to come back to try other items on the menu!
The staff were very nice too. No complaints! 🙃
I did end up getting a couple more slices of cake to go and two cookies for my family and they definitely enjoyed those too. All very fresh tasting.
The nice touch for the items brought home was there was tape under the cake trays to hold it to the box from moving around when I brought it home and didn’t bring smashed cake home! Smart little trick there! 👍🏻 thanks for the experience 💜

Upon walking in, I was impressed by the amount of space there was inside. There were many full tables of people when we arrived past noon, and I loved seeing the wide assortment of green plants scattered throughout the cafe.

We got a couple of things: an Almond Croissant, Bulgogi Poutine, a Lavender London Fog with oat milk, and a Peppermint Mocha with oat milk.

My Almond Croissant was okay. I know almond croissants are made with leftover pastries, but there was no texture at all. It just fell flat, and lookswise it was physically flat as well lol. It was alright. I wouldn't get the almond croissant again.

The Bulgogi Poutine was pretty good. The fries were delicious and crispy. The sauce on top of the fries was slightly sweet, salty, and savory. For me, the bulgogi could've been more flavorful and it didn't taste fresh but I liked the overall dish.

Lastly, the Peppermint Mocha was alright. It wasn't spectacular. And I felt the same way about my Lavender London Fog with oat milk. I wish there was more depth in my drink. I think the tea could've been steeped a little longer. Flavor was there in my drink, but it wasn't strong enough. It was slightly disappointing since I've had amazing London Fogs before, and this one just wasn't up to par. Also my drink was slightly warm, not too far off from lukewarm.

I feel like the price doesn't exactly correlate with quality for most things here. If we come back here, I'd be willing to try different things and pastries. But I don't think my rating would change much.

Another gem just hidden off whyte ave. We stopped in recalling a mango drink shared here a while ago and possibly taste it again. The cafe is spacious with tall ceilings and an inviting vibe. We found the mango Frappe and were just as delighted with the taste. Also, I picked up some chocolate and blueberry cake slices as they all look so delicious, making it easy to share if undecided on a particular one. LOL. Went back in for the mango Frappe and also tried a Lavender London fog. It was floral and definitely offered lavender, but still had the traditional flavor. Also picked up an orange citrus cake, and it was fresh and yummy. They also had some amazing lunch items to choose from, including sandwiches and savory pastries. We got the Tomato and French Onion soup for takeaway as well, and it was so delicious. The service was quick and efficient, and the staff was sweet and helpful. A must visit for a cute brunch/lunch spot or if you just share a love for baked goods!!

Been coming to this café for a while now and it never disappoints! ☕🍰
Absolutely love their pastries and coffee — always fresh and flavorful. Their breakfast options are equally amazing and super satisfying. A go-to spot for a cozy start to the day! 🥐✨

La Bosco Bakery & Café is such a vibe! The plant display when you walk in is absolutely stunning - it totally transforms the space and gives it a vibrant, lush atmosphere. It was busy when I went, and there wasn’t any seating available, but honestly, that just added to the energy. The whole place felt like a café you’d stumble upon in Mexico City or Barcelona - stylish, lively, and full of character. Can’t wait to go back (hopefully snag a seat next time)!

Visit this cafe first time. Atmosphere is really nice, open, natural. Tried rose flavour Latte. But i feel disappointed. Not feel any rose flavour. Also taste croissant. Which was good-in taste. Overall nice to sit in sunny days.

What an amazing spot! A wide variety of fantastic cakes and desserts, all of which look and taste incredible. They also serve regular dishes that are just as delicious. The interior is beautifully designed—a large, open space where you’ll definitely find a seat, and in the summer, they have their own patio. The espresso was excellent, and the overall experience left a great impression. This place is truly a bright and positive highlight on Edmonton’s map.
