However, that being said, I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance wasn't so great but our server was really kind and prompt. And the food was way better than I imagined. My husband went with the breakfast burger which he enjoyed with hashbrowns. I had the eggs Benedict with hashbrowns. I was really impressed flavours were really good. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the Hollandaise sauce was rich and tasty. Loved the hashbrowns but both my husband and I cold have used more on the plate. They were pretty skimpy. All in all I would try this again and maybe ask for a second helping of hashbrowns.

We were exploring a different part of the city in search of a new place for coffee and breakfast…read more That's when we spotted Cafe Rista. The large list of breakfast wraps and sandwiches was a pleasant surprise. I ordered the spicy breakfast wrap for $9.50 in 2025. It was freshly made to order and hot both in spices and temperature. I enjoyed it once it cooled down a little. My partner ordered the Italian breakfast sandwich which was also $9.50. It looked similar to what I ordered except for it being a sandwich and less spicy. She enjoyed her dish as well. We both had a large drip coffee. The coffee was served in a generous sized cup so we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. Noise was not a factor here as it is in so many places now. The cafe seemed to be clean. There's several tables of various sizes so finding seating should not be a problem. Overall I was very pleased with our morning coffee and breakfast experience although, strangely, the fellow behind the counter seemed somewhat indifferent to our being there. Maybe he was just having a bad day. The prices are excellent for the quality of food and coffee so I know that we'll return here.

I had already ordered my medium latte, which had arrived hot. She may have been friendlier- did not interact with her. Overall the food was good, the decor was fine, and the service was ok.

The front parking lot is large however, the Mayfield dinner theatre is also situated in this hotel so the parking can get very full on show nights. We have eaten here a few times and most recently, my husband ordered off the summer menu which is available July and August. There is an option of ordering the three course meal or just an entree. He chose the 10 oz. rib eye steak and enjoyed it very much. It came with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. I ordered the prime rib dip which had tender slices of prime rib with mushrooms, red peppers and melted cheese and a special sauce which was delicious. For my side I chose the tossed salad with balsamic vinaigrette, the portion was a nice size. We advised our friendly waitress, Lesley we were in a bit of a rush and she expedited our order although the restaurant wasn't super busy. She brought our drinks right away and also my husband's dessert as soon as we were finished our meal. We enjoyed our dinner and also in a time limit so thanks to the server and kitchen staff! This is a great place to have a quiet dinner with a date or friends when in a rush or not, highly recommended!

I'm always up for a little journey out of town in the name of food and that's precisely what my…read morerecent visit to the city of Leduc was all about. Fifteen minutes (or so) south of the city makes Leduc feel more like a suburb and very much a part of the greater Edmonton area. It didn't take me much convincing to jump in the car when I heard that a little cafe was home to the Best Dessert 2024 as named by EDify Magazine. What delicious secrets were being kept in Leduc and how could I taste them?? Step one is to drive yourself to Leduc, which I did on a Saturday morning. While nearby, I haven't spent a whole lot of time in Leduc and found myself pleasantly surprised when the navigation took me to a quaint and cute small-town-style main street area. I really don't think that I'd ever been there before. Sweet little independent shops lined both sides of the street, lending to an idyllic pedestrian experience. Shopping areas like these always feel good to stroll through. Leduc Coffee Shop is located within two other stores; Magpies Collection and Playing For Keeps Toys. So don't get confused when you enter into a retail space; home decor and gifts on the left and children's toys on the right. Head to the back of the store and keep going until you find yourself surrounded by bistro tables and can smell the coffee. The space is cozy and cafe-like with chocolate-coloured walls and pieces of local art as decoration. I noted that each table was adorned with a vase of fresh flowers - a lovely touch. I also noticed a very adorable China cabinet filled with antique cups and saucers. The idea is that you can choose your own teacup to use, select your tea of choice, and then sit down to enjoy! What a beautiful idea that only adds to the experience! I was surprised by how large the menu is - the whole thing is posted right on the wall and it's huge both in physical size and in terms of content. In the end, the offerings include; drinks, eats, and sweets n treats. If you're looking for visual guidance most of the food items are on display in the glass case, which is helpful. I knew that I wanted to order a coffee-based beverage - it is a coffee shop after all - and I was delighted to find a special "Winter Drinks" menu. I am someone who loves a seasonal beverage, to the point of ordering off of these types of menus almost exclusively. I just like trying new things and enjoying flavours that compliment the season. This menu included six different choices, each sounding perfectly appropriate for the winter. The Gingerbread Spiced Mocha (Espresso, white chocolate, topped with whip cream & cinnamon) stood out to me, which I ordered in the small size. The girl at the counter was pleasant and got to work on preparing our drinks and eats. The drink looked like everything that I wanted it to be (AKA more like dessert than coffee) but unfortunately the flavour didn't really hit the mark for me. It mostly just tasted like a mediocre, watered down cup of coffee and didn't deliver on all of the gingerbread and spice and mocha that was promised. It just seemed like this coffee was supposed to have a lot of exciting stuff going on and I felt disappointed as I sipped it. The food menu includes a whole array of sandwiches that look really appetizing - many on croissants or bagels. And each sandwich is served with a side of corn chips which is something that I can totally get behind! I would recommend taking a look in the case and choosing whatever appears the most delicious on that particular day. However, I was visiting for one item and one item only: the Orange Bun ($3.50). This is the current best dessert in the Edmonton area and I couldn't wait to try it. These golden twirly rounds are baked in-house from scratch using real butter. The orange buns are served warm and seem to be a member of the cinnamon roll family. I know that this isn't a popular opinion but I'm not much of a cinnamon roll fan (unless we're talking about the ones at Sugarbowl, in which case I love them). This, however, is not a cinnamon roll. The homemade dough is hand-stretched every morning and the freshness is evident in every bite. There's a gooey mix of orange zest and coconut within every warm layer, bringing a sweet and unique flavour all its own. I loved this comforting bun, like something that a grandma would make. The flavour of the dough itself was almost the best part because it wasn't too sweet and it held the orange and coconut together so well. An absolute delight! I totally understand why this orange bun is on the foodie radar. It's wonderful that a little cafe like this, off the beaten path, is getting some notice. The food is the highlight at Leduc Coffee Shop but it would be nice if the coffee beverages were up to the same level. Delivering every bit the cozy cafe experience, this is the type of space that you'll be happy to spend some time in.

I…read morewas excited because I had looked at the reviews and they were quite good, but I found it completely unprofessional that I couldn't even tell who was a server because they were all dressed in jogging pants and looked like they had just gotten out of bed and I can completely deal with that if the service was good, but it was absolutely terrible. Our table wasn't cleaned. They told us they were going to come back and clean, It never did then we waited 45 minutes for our food that never came and had to speak to the waitress and the manager , all in all it took over an hour once it finally arrived the quality of the food was not even edible. We ended up having to throw it all out, and when we spoke to the manager and the waitress, they didn't care at all. They gave us complete attitude, very unprofessional and definitely will never be back. Save your money and go somewhere else.
