Elm Café

I work from a vehicle all day and am often in the neighbourhood so I stop by for sandwiches, usually a couple of times a week. I used to only get their baked goods once every couple of months because their oatmeal cookies and chocolate orange scones are amazing but now that I'm pregnant I need to eat a little more often and don't always have time to pack a lunch, and they don't usually use deli meat (and even if they do it's heated up enough that it's safe in pregnancy) so I can enjoy most of their food. Every time I go in the staff put a smile on my face. They're always friendly and they know me by name. I love that there's variety as they change up their menu continually and it's never been disappointing. I've never had a sandwich I didn't enjoy. I also appreciate the humour they use when naming their sandwiches (a la Bob's Burgers). I like that they're local and support other local businesses. I just wanted to give a shutout to these guys because they're doing great. PS the pulled pork sandwich they have on right now is INCREDIBLE.

This is such a hidden gem (they have multiple sister locations in Edmonton). The coffee is always on point, and the sandwich choices always hit the spot. Hard to resist throwing in baked treat. Come early because they just sell what they have then it's gone. Not a place to dine, just grab and go, but during the summer they have a cute simple patio.

Has the best sandwich I've ever had in Edmonton to date! I do wish they had their menu posted online, but now understand that IS a rotating menu so the sandwiches change fairly often! They close a tad early so plan your trip over there and get those yummy eats in your funky belly, because it won't last long and may sell quickly! I did go in today and the incredibly nice lady gave me the last two chocolate zucchini pumpkin muffins for free, as they would have needed to throw them away at the end of the day. That wasn't supposed to rhyme, but I'm glad it did... The same way I'm glad that chocolate and zucchini was a match, hand crafted by the ancient gods of wisdom who guide our taste buds towards the light. EXUBERANT FLAVORS EVERYONE! 5/5

Awesome lattes and sandwiches. And their oatmeal chocolate chip cookie is worth a flight. Cool staff! Will go every time I’m in Edmonton.

Coffee and expresso-based beverages made from beans freshly roasted. Bags of beans are available for purchase. The baked goods and out-of-this-world breakfast sandwiches are all made from scratch. The staff are all top shelf people. Don't take my word for it. Stop in and have a see for yourself.
