    If you're looking to stop by for a quick lunch break in the Ritchie area, Farrow is a wonderful option. They have their famous Grick sandwich as well as several feature sandwiches to choose from. I feel like this place is a hipsters paradise lol. The staff here is always incredibly friendly and patient and I love the desserts they offer here too. I highly recommend their Cronuts (croissant donuts) if they have them because they are the BOMB. The sandwiches are delicious, albeit a bit expensive. The flavours are so unique and I look forward to the new features every time. You can also customize your sandwich to your liking which is nice. Parking is hard to find, especially if it's a busy weekend. Street parking is usually full but on weekdays, it's not that bad

    During the beginning of quarantine (and still now) we tried to support as many local businesses as possible. Farrow lived up to the hype. Had the Grick Middle and A chicken sandwich (can't remember the name). And grabbed some donuts of course. Both sandwiches were really good; ended up sharing both instead of having one each.

    This is a place I have been overlooking for a long time due to its deceptive and discreet location. I have heard whispers about this place and thought I would check it out. Located along 76 ave before the 99st intersection, it can be missed because it looks like a small house converted into a restaurant, along a road of residential homes. Parking can be a challenge in that there are restrictions of parking along the side road. Upon entering, I enjoy the quaint atmosphere of a small coffee/sandwich shop. Although the selection of sandwiches was limited to only 4, this maybe by due to design reflective in its artesian way of quality over mass production. Moreover, the 2 sandwiches I have had so far were amazing. 1. The Chief Beef and 2. The Grick Middle. The first is a beef lovers dream with roast beef, a sharp horseradish aioli, an amazing slice of cheese I cannot identify, potato chips a tonne of greens held all together by a crisp but firm artesian bread. The second 'Grick Middle' is like a breakfast sandwich consisting of bacon, cheddar, greens, aioli, topped off with a fried egg an held together with a ciabatta bread. The other two sandwiches is a pork themed sandwich and the other a vegetarian. I may try these in the future. Although the service is prompt, you are still waiting impatiently with other fellow customers hoping to have their name called out due to the high volume of customers that frequent this establishment. Although my stomach growled impatiently,waiting in anticipation, this is indicative of a high demand for this product. Although I would've liked more selection and easier parking, The sandwiches were amazing and satisfying. Therefore, if I were you, I would check this place out and try the sandwich menu items before they switch them out with other intriguing creations.

    My favourite restaurant in Edmonton. The atmosphere is amazing, always playing great music. The staff is friendly and helpful. The sandwiches are incredible, the desserts are delicious.

    Chief beef

    Farrows is a great place to come for unique an different sandwiches. The workers here always friendly and it's always a good place to start your day with a coffee and the grick middle, hands down the best sandwich they have. Today's choice was a chief beef that has roast beef, ruffle chips, pickled red onion, horseradish aioli, and arugula. Also grabbed one of their donuts because how are you suppose to pass on a Oreo cheese cake donut. Stop by!!

    It's hard to say anything bad about Farrow. I started coming to Farrow at their original location (8422-109 st) at the start of 2017. I've probably visited Farrow over 20 times throughout the year and every time the food has been amazing. The Chief Beef sandwich is a classic that is usually on the menu and is probably one of my favorites. At farrow you can find a new sandwich about every couple of weeks. They come up with the craziest combinations of flavors that somehow always turn out amazing. It's a treat to visit this place and try something new at almost every visit. Their new Ritchie location is bigger and has more street parking available. It's my favorite location to visit. I would easily give this place a 5 star rating because their food is amazing but I have to deduct one star for 2 reasons: 1. Hours. The Ritchie location is only open until 3. When I crave farrow, its at all times. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I just wish they were open later. 2. Wait time. When they're busy (which is often) it can take a long time to get your order. I've waited about half an hour for a sandwich during the lunch rush. I feel like they could improve on this, but hey what do I know. Visit Farrow if you want to have the best sandwich of your life and some delicious, fresh, good quality coffee.

    The Vegan

    Located in a refurbished house just south of the Strathcona district is Farrow, a rotating sandwich/coffee shop. All I can say is this: visit and eat! You will feel like a hipster. On my visit, I had The Vegan (sliced tofu, amazing vegenaise-based sauce, cilantro, other fresh veggies, lovely bread...) and it was very very good. Super fresh ingredients and big enough to share. The menu features 4 different sandwich types daily; 1 option is veg-friendly. Prices are between $9-12/sandwich. Worth it! I visited during the week (off-hours), so it was pretty quiet, but I imagine that the brunch, lunch, and dinner hours could get busy. The place is pretty small with limited seating inside and out; I think Farrow does a fair amount of takeaway orders. Anyway, go and visit and eat. Then swoon. It's that good!

    We both had the Mason Hamsey and it was delicious. The bread was super fresh. It does get very busy here on a nice day but we were able to get a table outside no problem at 1:30 on a sunny Saturday. Loved the Real Brew root beer too. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while since I live in the hood and it seems to be really popular. Now I know why! Highly recommend.

    I'm usually not a fan of sandwiches, but I have to admit, Farrow makes a pretty good one! This was my first time here and I was really impressed! I ordered Nic's Trick'd Grick, and it was delicious! It came with 2 eggs, pork belly, apple slices, cabbage and Pappa Chow's curry mayo. The apples added a nice crunch and sweetness, while the curry mayo a nice kick of spice. I did find that $13 for a sandwich was a little expensive. However, I did enjoy it! I will definitely come back. Hopefully when they're not all sold out of cronuts either.

    Today's menu but it changes regularly.

    In my (heavily biased) opinion Old Strathcona and Whyte Ave is the best part of the entire city. It…read moreprobably helps that I live nearby and have frequented this part of town practically every day of the combined fifteen years that I have called Edmonton home. The vibrant history of the area is one of Whyte Ave's defining features, each part of the streetscape telling its own story. One such example is the Hulbert block; a three-storey, brick clad, Edwardian commercial building that was built in 1912. On the street level of this building Edmontonians have been enjoying cozy cafe visits at Block 1912 (the cafe's name a tribute to the year that the building was built) since 1992. This cafe is one of the most notable spots on the avenue and their 33 year tenure makes them an iconic and reliable mainstay. Named Favourite Coffee Shop 2023 in the Edmonton Journal, it goes to show that even after this many years people seek out the familiar and comfortable spaces in the city. After all, Block 1912 really does feel a lot like going home. I have spent plenty of time at Block 1912 over the years and I have always been impressed by the immense amount of space that this cafe occupies. Full of time-weathered quirks, there is never any shortage of things to see and discover in this original-exposed-brick hideaway. Deep within the cafe the lighting dims as there are only windows at the very front of the space making natural light sparse. There are different levels of seating and mis-matched chairs. An entire nook is lined with shelves of books. I happen to know that there are secret drawers in various pieces of furniture that are filled with hundreds of notes, left by past patrons. Artists and musicians are encouraged to pitch their portfolios to the manager in order to be featured in the space - whether it be on the walls or to perform during one of the regular live music evenings. Visiting on a Saturday afternoon, I hadn't been to Block 1912 in a while and was interested in exploring everything that their menu has to offer these days. And there's a lot! The counter for ordering is about halfway into the cafe and the glass case full of pastries is an immediate distraction. Did you know that they also make their own gelato?? Of course all sorts of coffee beverages are available but Block 1912 also serves alcohol. There's a full menu of sandwiches, small plates, and comfort food. The staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions. I wanted to order a coffee to stick with the cafe vibe... But I'm not a straight black coffee kind of girl. The Ganache Mocha ($8.75) caught my eye but then I saw the list of 46 (!!) flavoured syrups that there are to choose from! It's almost impossible to decide on only one and after much difficulty I selected Toasted Marshmallow as an add-on to my mocha. Seemed like flavours that would make a lot of sense together! (If you ever want to find out what a "pineberry" latte tastes like go to Block 1912 and let me know what happens.) I settled into a table right at the front of the restaurant so that I could enjoy the small amount of natural light that reaches the interior. Receiving my coffee, I have to say that they got the memo! I was impressed at how much my toasted marshmallow ganache mocha looked exactly the part - there were even mini marshmallows on top! Was it incredibly sweet? Yes. Was there even coffee in this? Who knows! But this warm beverage was what I had been hoping for. Chocolatey with a definite toasted marshmallow flavour, I was delighted that this drink felt like a specialty cafe creation. In the interest of having an entire lunch, I wanted to order something off of the sandwich menu. The Hot Italian Grill seems like the sandwich to get. But the Turkey Apple Brie Sandwich ($16.00) felt seasonally appropriate and I picked that one. A soup or salad is also included, turning this dish into a meal. There were two daily soups available and the Vegetable Beetroot Soup also seemed to match the falltime vibe. I liked that the bread was a lot more interesting than a plain white or brown type. Instead, this bread was studded with what appeared to be cranberries - an ideal match for a turkey sandwich! The brie cheese was gooey and melty. I barely noticed the apples. It was a decently good sandwich but there wasn't a whole lot of filling and I could have easily made something like this at home. I liked the flavour combination though. The soup was warm and flavourful with a fairly fine dice of veggies within. I was expecting a more prominent beet component (maybe not a full borscht but somewhat closer to that) and I'm not sure if I noted the beets at all. If there was any, they were chopped very small and completely mixed in with the other vegetables. I also had to try the Herb Crusted Chicken Pot Pie ($18.00) from the Comfort Food part of the menu. Who doesn't love a soul-warming comfort food on a chilly day? It was even raining! Also served with soup or salad, we decided to try a salad

    NUTTEA Canada - Edmonton, AB (corner of Gateway and Whyte Avenue)…read more Back in May, we were walking along the very charming Whyte Avenue and came across some cool artwork at the Old Strathcona Public Washroom (you can see the artwork by clicking on the following link == https://urbanedmonton.ca/.../old-strathcona-public-washroom/ ) . This washroom sits at the southern terminus of the High Level Bridge Street Car ( https://www.edmontonstreetcars.ca/highlevelbridge ) which sadly for us, wasn't going to be in seasonal operation for another couple of weeks yet (May through October). It was upon heading back to our car on Whyte Avenue that out of the corner of my eye I noticed this intriguing stairway leading to some type of shop, hmmm , must explore! Adding even further to the intrigue was the sign .. "Nuttea Nut Mylk Tea". What is this? What could it be? Something vegan, dare I wonder Well, wondered I dared, and I'm glad that I'm the wondering daring type because, ... here we are Turns out this charming little shop has a variety of mylks and teas, the mylks in a wonderful variety of flavors such as Jasmine Green Nut Mylk Tea, Mango Nut Mylk, Avocado Nut Mylk, Matcha with Nut Cream, and a large assortment of other delicious sounding flavors, everything 100% vegan using a variety of 5 different nuts, macadamia, hazelnut, walnut, almond, and cashews. We opted for the Black Sesame Nut Mylk (on the right) and the Earl Grey with Chocolate Nut Cream (on the left). Both were smooth, delicious with a uniquely satisfying and gratifying flavor! If you're in the area, definitely stop by and check them out, with soooo many flavors combinations, you're bound to find something to satisfy your taste buds.

    I found out about Nuttea from an event a while ago. Although the store is hidden in the basement,…read morethe place was vibrant when I was there. In terms of tea, their focus is on using nut ingredients, which seems to be healthier than some other bubble tea places. Two signatures they have are Nut Mylk and Nut Cream. The Nut Mylk is a blend of Cashew, Walnut, and Macadamia and the Nut Cream is Cashew, Walnut, Macadamia, Hazelnut, Almond (pieces). I tried their Strawberry Nut Mylk. It was good and felt healthy. Their prices are a bit higher but it makes sense given the ingredients they use, so I'd give them 8/10

The girl at the cash till explained that instead of adding water to espresso, it's done by running more water through the espresso coffee grind and therefore making it much stronger than a Americano. So basically their version of a lungo. I enjoyed it but I can't say I'll order it again simply because it tasted like a stronger brew of a dark roast, which I can get at many other coffee shops. The cappuccino was delicious! I almost wanted to go back to ask what the secret was! It's possible that they milk with a higher percentage in fat or cream, which gave it a very nutty flavour. I'll definitely be coming back for a cappuccino the next time I'm in the area, as well as looking forward to trying their affogato and gelato when the weather is warmer.

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.
