Menu
You don’t always have to order ahead. If you’re walking through the oldest neighbourhood on this side of the river, you’re welcome to stop in for a quick treat. We don't offer a lot of seating; but you're welcome to enjoy some well-intentioned attempts at small talk with the staff, and to linger at the picnic tables in the plaza across the alley. We’re unpretentiously brewing coffee that was roasted here in Alberta and you can sit and sip for a minute or take it to go.
If you're looking to place a pre-order (the best option for guaranteed availability), go the online ordering page here.

To Go Cakes
Did you miss the cut-off time for your cake order? There's still a chance to get a cake without anyone realizing you waited until the last minute. Each day we make some extra cakes after we've attentively completed our pre-orders. Size and flavour varies. We are not able to customize To Go cakes. These are available on a first-come-first served basis, and are only available when they're finished. Feel free to call the shop during regular hours and ask "Do you have any To Go cakes available?" If you'd like to purchase one over the phone we can hold it for you until you get here.
