" This new spot is an absolute gem! I had the chilaquiles divorciadas with chorizo and a coco-horchata, and they were a perfect pair. Definitely try the salsa macha on whatever you get to eat. It's delicious. Also, friendly, quick service and a comfortable atmosphere. I'll be back soon! "

" The best café de olla in Edmonton. The staff makes everyone feel welcome, the food and drink are delicious, and there's a little pop up market to peruse while you wait for your drink. Can't wait to come back! "

" The husband and wife who own this place are clearly passionate about food experiences and experimentation and it shows. (They're also clearly in love — if you're lucky you might catch them sneaking a cute little kiss!) Everything from the communication to signage is so thoughtful, and they are so excited to share their passion with new guests. "

" Such a great New Mexican Cafe. The owners are an awesome friendly couple who are trying to bring Northern Mexican cuisine to Edmonton. A regular staple for us will be their chilaquiles. These might be the best I've had. All the sauces and salsa's are homemade. This is just off Whyte but absolutely worth walking a block to try. Nice selection of coffees and well priced. "
