    Just a shot of the area separating seating from the kitchen.

    I had a huge craving for latkes last Sunday and we got out of church early so, I thought we might have beaten the after church rush from the Moravian church nearby. We easily found parking nearby and voila, a table inside. I thought I had ordered the latkes with an egg on top- I was really hungry but was disappointed that the waiter had misconstrued my order and put a side potato latke together with a side egg over easy. . It was nobody's fault really, and quite cheap, but when I got home, I put an egg and two potatoes in the electric vegetable chopper with some salt and pepper and whipped up my own potato pancakes. It tasted just as good and finally satiated my craving. Oh well. Lesson learned.

    It was actually in July, 2018. I found this place by accident and it was great. Nothing fancy, just simple and effective. The staff was really nice and the food was good too.

    TL;DR: a great setting for a hot beverage or two coupled with conversation. I really enjoyed the design of the place as a whole and liked the service which was provided. My time here was quick; my friends and I stopped by to order a few caffeinated delights before settling into the music venue located in the basement. It was quite loud but not obnoxiously so. You can still have a good conversation. The seating options were great and I really liked the decor; it was industrial yet modern and I adored the lighting and the huge windows which surrounded the interior. In addition, the panel graphic behind the front counter was particularly beautiful. I really wished we had sat in the booth seats but they were all filled! The service was friendly and really made you feel comfortable. They definitely went above and beyond in terms of making their guests feel right at home. I really wish that I tried their food because from what I've read it is pretty good! But sadly, I only ordered beverages. I tried the Mochaccino and the Vanilla Latte, they were both great.

    Mill creek Cafe is a cool Cafe/restaurant located in the French quarters. The service was prompt and courteous. The meal was slightly greasy which made the potatoes get a bit soggy. However,the taste was good and the ambience was great. My vegan scrambled tofu was 17.50.

    I used to live accross the bridge from this Cafe, and have visited it quiet frequently for a java to take on a walk in the Millcreek Ravine, as it is right next to the trail head; this place makes a fantastic dirty chai! That being said, I have had a meal here a few times, and have always enjoyed. They have a fair amount of choices available for people that need gluten free, or lactose free options, and the food is always so full of flavor. From my experiences, the staff is always happy to serve, and willing to modify orders if requested. The restaurant dining area and washrooms are clean; and they tend to showcase local artists' paintings/art on a feature wall to the left of the entrance as you walk in. The service is fairly fast to take care of you; but if you want water or plain coffee, you may have tonpour it yourself, as they leave that on a stand next to the entrance. I consider Millcreek as great place to go to for a brunch or dinner, and or just a simple Java of your choice. They have never disappointed me, but they have impressed me a few times.

    The special menu intrigued me!

    I didn't know that this cafe is exist! Coming here after seeing their Instagram from my another foodie buddy who sent me this place's picture of i special menu for the weekend "Nasi Lemak". A popular breakfast rice in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Nasi lemak is basically a coconut rice with many side dishes but anchovies (ikan bilis) and sambal are must! The cafe was serving nasi lemak with sunny side up eggs, crispy anchovies (ikan bilis), pork belly (that was hidden under the eggs), cucumber, pineapple, sambal and kerupuk (crackers). Serving on banana leaves that makes it different! I laughed with my partner's comment, "this is the first non Asian restaurant that I visited which serves kerupuk in Canada" I realized and agreed with his statement. It's a family ownership restaurant who came from Singapore. Very nice lady and son! The lady came and asked me how the food was. I said I finished it all. I know the Sambal has been Canadianized a bit by not too much heat on the Sambal but it's still flavourful Sambal. The ambience is cozy and industrial roof setting which I enjoy. We finished our meal with coffee. He chose mochaccino and I had the Spanish coffee. A bit booze on the weekend won't harm you

    I was very excited to dig in to the beautiful plate of eggs benedict florentine that was served to me! Quickly disappointed at the bland flavour of the hollandaise and cool-to-the-touch hash browns. I think the chef prepared the plate and everything got cold while he prepared the eggs. Eggs, however, were poached perfectly, hollandaise had perfect texture, but no zest, no seasoning. A+ on presentation, service, atmosphere C- on flavour & temperature

    Mexican omelette & breakfast sandwich
    Jacqueline H.

    A disappointing experience overall. Nice looking food with quality ingredients, but unbelievably bland. How could anything that looks so good taste so boring? I don't think I could make food this dull if I tried. I had a breakfast sandwich, made with a lovely looking but very dry bread. No sauce of any description save a bit of butter or margarine on the bottom made for a very crunchy, dry, chewy sandwich. My boyfriend had the Mexican omelette which, amazingly, was also very boring and bland in flavour, and for $13!! How anything called Mexican have almost no spice or flavour is beyond me. I should have twigged that something was up when I noticed the menu mentioned in bold that chorizo is MEAT. Wow, I pity them if their regular clientele doesn't know this. Quaint set up but disorganized, with a young and inexperienced (albeit polite) staff. For example, no one told us to help ourselves to coffee after we paid for it. No one tells you to seat yourself or where to get menus. I guess they must rely on regulars for their business, because I can't think of anything to recommend about this place. We won't be back. Shame, I was so excited to try this place out! Sadly trend and a local / sustainable bent does not a good business make.

    This cozy corner cafe offers a warm atmosphere and delicious food, perfect for a quiet stop on a busy afternoon or after a nice run through the Mill Creek Ravine. Have been here a few times and do not have any complaints. The food is really good, homemade soups and sandwiches and fresh salads, paired with inviting decor and friendly staff, the perfect place to share lunch with a friend. Haven't been here during peak hours, but have never had trouble with parking or getting a table for two. The prices were fair for the quality of the food and for the experience. Would definitely recommend and would love to eat here again.

    I like coming here because it's not usually as busy as other places on a weekend morning (though there are days that I've had to wait for tables). You're never rushed here though, even though they could have a line out the door, you won't feel like you have to hurry and get out of there. The staff are super friendly and I don't think I've seen anyone in a bad mood even though they're packed (or alternatively, super bored). The food is pretty decent as are the prices. I like coming for the cinnamon bun which looks simple (no icing or anything) and flecked with some sort of seed - you feel like it's a healthier alternative. Then you break into it and it's fluffy and soft and crying out to be doused in butter (you should definitely douse it in butter) and it tastes perfect. This bun, a pot of tea and I am in heaven. Not to say that their other food isn't great (it is) but I've got a soft spot in my heart for this bun.

    Vegan tofu scramble
    Matt B.

    Cute little cafe just outside downtown, specializing in breakfast / brunch options and coffee beverages. I ordered take-out from here one morning, ordering the vegan tofu scramble. It was a creative one, with delicious roasted red peppers and onions, a vegan havarti cheese, a nice side salsa, a delicious homemade dense whole grain bread, and a little pineapple. $17 or so for the dish, about standard for Edmonton. Very friendly staff. Good spot for brunch.

    Hot chocolate
    Cheryl C.

    Went for a breakfast date with the hubby on a weekday and was pretty surprised about how busy this place is! We did get seated right away though. I like the Art Deco type vibe and we were able to find a spot street parking nearby. Water is self serve and I believe the coffee is as well, but that gets added to the bill. I ordered a hot chocolate and was not disappointed. I'm honestly not big on breakfast like the hubby is, but there is a good assortment of choices. I strayed from my usual eggs benny and gave their corned beef hash a go, and hubby wanted gravlax, so ended up with a gravlax omelette. Definitely a different kind of breakfast than what I usually get, but the portion was good for me, in fact I couldn't finish, so I let my hubby eat the rest. I also like how they have a bakery type display at the front and how there was some gummy candy you can help yourself to with tongs while you pay at the cashier.

Brunch is offered on Saturday and Sunday, otherwise they open for lunch (closed Mondays). Epic Market is huge. This will be a very popular place for the Whyte Avenue crowd as there are so many options available depending on which floor you enter. We were on the second floor today for brunch but the first floor, which has a similar look and feel, has a Mexican menu. It opens for lunch at 11:30am. It's a unique concept for Edmonton. The server said that they've opened similar restaurants in larger cities like Toronto but Edmonton is their first venture into a "smaller market". The brunch menu was interesting with some unique features and some typical offerings. I had the Pork Bennie, for $18.00 in 2024. The prices are quite reasonable for the type and quantity of the food. My bennie was good. My only criticism is that a special house ketchup would have been a nice touch. The service was excellent and we had a nice view of Gateway Blvd out the window. The coffee includes endless refills which is good because the cups were not very large. I'm sure the vibe is much different for dinner than brunch, but based on our experience, I'll definitely return.

My wife and I both ordered the Chandru Special for $17.50. It's a crepe with bacon and eggs inside plus some cheese slices melted on top. There was a side of fresh fruit. The presentation was somewhat lacking as the cheese slices made it look like something you find at your children's birthday party. The dish definitely needed some sauce to help it down. At least the fruit was good. Our server was very skilled at tunnel vision as she didn't see us even when walking right by our table. Eventually we caught her and got a refill for our coffee. She was pleasent enough when she arrived but definitely didn't want to do refills. On a more positive note, my friend ordered an omelet which came with potatoes that looked like thick potato chips. They looked good and he liked them. If I return it will be because I am in the area and can't find a better place. In other words, three stars out of five.
