Edmonton's Top Five Photo Locations
"Little Brick is a cute cafe that’s actually inside a super old house!. Found near the River Valley, this cafe has one of the first winter patios in Edmonton. Along with offering delicious cafe drinks (I recommend the chai latte), you can grab a light meal from their menu of heart-warming food like Baked Potato Soup and Beef Stew."
"Little Brick is the type of place that will make you want to stay a little longer. Located right in the heart of Edmonton, this quirky cafe is known for its great coffee and high-quality meals. They also have locally made goods such as housewares, body products, and cooking or baking ingredients on the shelves for sale."
"The Little Brick coffee shop is actually a cafe, general store, and event space downtown Edmonton. The Little Brick is such a cute coffee shop you should check out. They have of course have great coffee and other drink items but I really love their food."
"Most of the dishes at the downtown Jasper Ave location are meat-free or can be made meat-less. The chana masala wrap uses chickpeas for protein; you can also order a vegan chicken chana wrap or vegan coconut chicken, made with chunks of soy. And, the vegetarian and vegan-friendly samosas always hit the spot."
"Remedy Cafe is one part Indian and Pakistani restaurant, one part coffee bar. If the hit TV show ‘Friends’ was filmed in Edmonton, the cast would gather daily at the Jasper Avenue location. Their legendary house-made chai pairs well with either a sabhji masala or butter chicken wrap."
"The 'remedy' here is cheap, authentic Indian food served in an ultra-casual cafe – meaning you can use wi-fi with one hand and dip your naan in curry sauce with the other. Everyone raves about the chai and butter..."
"Cafe Bicyclette, a friendly neighbourhood café in the French Quarter, serves up a delightful assortment of baked treats and savoury mains. The beautiful patio stays open in the winter (you heard that right), and is the perfect spot to share one of the city’s best poutines with loved ones."
"Cafe Bicyclette is a newer Edmonton Cafe we’ve tried and I’m so glad we did. It’s in a french community so if you speak french they do have a french and English menu for you to choose from. I loved their breakfast food so much and will get if over and over again."
"In addition to regular coffee drinks, this chic cafe in the French Quarter of Edmonton will feed you hard-to-resist French fare and Quebecois cuisine. Think smoked salmon croissant and classic poutine. Don’t be startled when the staff greets you in French."
"This stunning plant-filled restaurant is a shoe-in if you or your partner are vegetarian or vegan. The menu is stacked with plant-based options, and its interior is overflowing with beautiful plants, artwork and natural sunlight. Address: 9949 Jasper Avenue, EdmontonPhone: 780-244-9702"
"Excellent service, thank you Jacob for being a wonderful server and giving me recommendation to try the Coconut lime Laksa, it was delicious."
"Zuppa Café & Pizza not only offers great-tasting drinks, but they also offer freshly made pizza that will definitely satisfy all your cravings. They are an independent café in downtown Edmonton that is homemade, family run, and locally sourced. You can order whatever you want from them online, which makes everything convenient."
"Relax, enjoy, sit, sip and watch them play at Edmonton’s original indoor playground for little kids, Café O'Play combines the best of a traditional coffee shop with an indoor playground designed for children under 6. Children have access to a safe, secure and clean environment that includes 1,000 square feet of play area. The cafe even has an enclosure for babies with baby toys to keep the babies in, and the bigger kids out."
"Find it: 11965 Jasper Ave., brucoffeeandbeerhouse.com The vibe: With bold tiles on the coffee bar and geometric light fixtures, this lounge and café is the perf place to taste test a wide range of coffee and beer from their rotating menu. Prices: $3.50 to $5 Must-try: The Hartman Honey Pour Over ($4), a Panamanian blend from Phil & Sebastian with hints of green tea, baking spices and warm honey, so you’ll feel cozy from the first sip Pairs perfectly with: The cinnamon swirl loaf, a moist coffee cake topped with icing sugar and chocolate chips or their classic croissants for something savory"
"They aim to provide a space for people looking for a place to spend their time on with their loved ones. At Board N Brew, you can get to enjoy scrumptious treats and beverages while having to enjoy a lot of board games that you can get to pick from."
"Pazzo Pazzo serves Italian Cuisine that brings playful and refined Italian experience. The restaurant offers a fresh new take on the old country because of its seamless blend of old-world charm and modern luster."
"Northern Edmontonians have the honour of enjoying the best pitas the city has to offer right in their ‘hood at Sunbake Pita Bakery. This middle-eastern style bakery isn’t just famous for their pitas, the fatayers, an Arab meat pie, are known across the city for their high quality and great flavours. We recommend stopping in this north-side shop and grabbing some pitas and meat pies, even if you live in the south side of Edmonton."
"Officially opening in 1913 as a residence for Alberta’s Lieutenant Governors, Government House was designed by Architect R.P. Blakey under the direction of A.M. Jeffers, Chief Architect of the Alberta Legislature Building, and constructed by the Department of Public Works. Designed in the Jacobean Revival style with Scottish Baronial elements, the three story sandstone building is grand in scale with asymmetrical façades, decorations, bay windows, balconies, and high gabled roofs with dormers."
"Probably your first thought when you see this structure, and the Government House is definitely that. Granted, it was originally built to house the Lieutenant Governors of Alberta but has since been repurposed to use for things such as Government ceremonial events, conferences and more. This would make for a great shooting location due to the Jacobean style of the building, something rarely seen in Edmonton."
"This opulent mansion was the former residence of the lieutenant governor but is now used for government conferences and receptions. It is steeped in history and immaculately preserved – you'd never guess it's..."
"Image SourceIndividuals who are really bothered about their style and fashion already know about Whyte Avenue. Situated at the conjunction of Old Strathcona which is a place of historic importance in Edmonton, the place is filled with shops that offer you great items and products which can help you establish your own style statement. Fashionable clothing and designer products are easily available here."
"Looking for some neat street photography or a more casual place to film?. Whyte Ave is where you want to be. Edmonton’s most eclectic location for shopping and dining, Whyte Ave features streets with interesting architecture, and well taken care of city landscaping."
"Start off this walk at a nearby downtown coffee shop and get yourself a warm drink to-go, then head to the Instagram-worthy 100 Street Funicular, which gives easy access by way of two elevators into the river valley trail system. Next, you’ll cross the historic steel low-level bridge and dip back under the bridge to start off on the trail next to the river. Most of the south side path winds its way through beautiful tree covered trails, encountering two tiny neighbourhoods nestled off of Scona Road."
"As the funicular climbs up the river valley’s steep incline, you’ll be able to get tons of shots of that incredible view from multiple different angles!. Operating year-round, the glass-walled elevator ride takes about a minute to bring you from downtown to a spot halfway into the valley; the perfect photo vantage point. There’s also a lookout reaching farther over the whole valley so you can snap views that your followers will go crazy for."
"If you have this fascination with stairs, it’s a must that you visit the 100 Street Funicular. From here, you can have views of the famed Hotel Macdonald, the Edmonton skyline and the river valley below. View this post on Instagram"
