Who knew Red Deer was so hipster? I randomly stumbled upon Wild Brew Co on Insta and have been…read morewanting to check them out since that lucky discovery. Finally made it happen on a Saturday morning trip out to Red Deer. If you haven't heard of Wild Brewing, they specialize in kombucha. 6 flavours on tap and nitro coffee from Blackbird Cold Brew (from Calgary). In case you've been living under a rock and don't know what kombucha is, it has many, many health benefits! Tasty too. The inside is small but they do have one small table for two and a picnic table outside to sit at. Love the garage sliding door and the cargo bike! The branding/logo is on point. Slick, sharp minimalistic design. Since it was our first time, we wanted to sample all their options. A couple other people that dropped in were getting their growlers replenished. Their prices are pretty reasonable and in line with other kombucha places I've visited recently. $5.00 for a 12oz cup and $10.00 to fill a growler (1L). - Flight ($5.25 for 6) - they don't have anything fancy for their flights but we ain't too picky. They come in cute 50ml sized beakers. Takes me back to chemistry class. I thought all of the flavours were great but Breezy and I mutually agreed our favourite was the peach ginger. Blueberry mint was a close second. Love it! Hope Wild Brewing continues to expand to (you can get refills at Town Square Brewing Co in Edmonton, Raw Eatery & Market in Calgary and Float Now in Saskatoon to name a few). Finally a reason to stop in Red Deer.

We popped in here almost by accident and were pleasantly surprised! The selection was absolutely…read moreunreal! Kombucha on tap, warm elixirs and bone broth served daily. We treated ourselves to a house baked cookie which was fantastic :) I love to see whole organic ingredients being used to make treats! They carry a wide array of fresh ingredients, essential oils, and specialty goods from around the world. They also offer classes on the regular to educate people on holistic topics and healthy eating! We will be coming back!

We left well fed, and impressed with the experience. Not sure when we will be back in Red Deer, but this place will be on the docket for sure!

I don't know how I gone this long without writing a review for this cafe but definitely worthy of…read morea mention (especially for those that are traveling off hwy 2 & need good road stop options for coffee, washrooms & good snacks). Lacombe is becoming a more frequented place for me to meet country town & rural friends. Mostly as Red Deer is just too busy to accommodate last minute get togethers unless you are closer by & have the opportunity/time to drive around. That's how I first got to experience Ona & that was back when there was a furniture & a homewares store including the cafe within it. Things have changed since then (now only cafe & cafe space is significantly larger with raised patio in back) but still fabulous food & great coffee. Plus the bonus is the neat extras one can also purchase. Lots of lower height tables & it seems to be quite popular with larger groups & families (observation from my last visit a few weeks ago). Parking is on the streets around but I have yet to walk further than a block. Bathrooms are generous in size & I greatly appreciate how well kept they are considering how popular this place always seems. Decently lit with lots of natural light. A bit more on the louder side now that it is only a cafe but still a good spot to cool off & rest the arms from driving. I've tried treats & sandwiches here - both are of decent sizes & what the price of this are these days, I would say at a reasonable price. Coffee is always tasty here & I quite enjoyed the iced option this last stop being that the outside temp was over 25C. Staff are always friendly here & great at answering questions. As a cane user, I also greatly appreciate that things are bright out to the table so I don't have to navigate around searching for seating with food &/or drink plus a cane in the other hand. Thanks for always an enjoyable road break!

Place was 80% full when I got there and most people even just got thier food + drinks to go. Lovely place to kill some time or for a coffee date. Loved the assortment of unique goods at the back. Cashew cream cheese, chocolate milk, crackers, broth, candy, etc. What a wide range! But all very unique and would make such a great gift for food-lovers. I tried the sausage roll $7.50: 9/10: very greasy. They do warm it up for you. Sausage was a good texture and taste. Pasty was nice too but sausage falls right out of pastry when eating. I also tried the beet root latte. SOOO pretty! So beautifully pink. BUT tastes like warm milk with no other flavor. I would have liked a stronger beet taste. So if you want something for show and not taste this one is 10/10.

A lovely family run business with fresh baked goodies, sandwiches, soups, and espresso drinks. The atmosphere inside is what would make me want to come back! I loved the decor, the black chalk wall, the hanging flowers, the lights, the tall ceilings, variety of seating options... just everything, lol. It was very inviting and a low stress low volume escape from the cold online most of the loud pubs and bars. I'm sure in the summer it's a great escape from the heat!

The staff is so very friendly and make sure you know they really appreciate your business! i was supposed to order bread and treats from The Tasty Bakery on Saturday, as I was coming to Red Deer today from two hours away, but I forgot! I called the store this morning hoping there might be some treats available for me to put aside. The owner Don (such a nice guy) answered the phone and asked what I would like. I told him my order and he did say he didn't have all that I wanted but would do his best! Well, I got to the store just after noon and was grateful he had put aside what he had! I paid and set off for my two hour drive home. I got home and opened the bags and there was EXACTLY what I had ordered! I don't know if he found he had more than he thought or baked extra just for me but I was so surprised and pleased! I don't know why anyone would buy their baked goods anywhere else!
