The Woodrack Cafe

One of my favourite cafés in Edmonton! Their gluten free treats include flourless PB&C cookies (pictured below) and tahini cookies. Both are very tasty and newly they are packaged individually to make them even more celiac friendly! Their coffee is also excellent - I’ve never been disappointed by one of their roasts. Plus there’s a nice new multiuse sitting area outside the alley door in addition to the park and farmers market across the street. Very instagramable cafe & surrounding area if you’re looking for a cute place to shoot. I was a regular at the old location and the staff were amazing! When I was hoping to get some gift cards for friends and family, they offered a special arrangement to make it happen despite not having physical cards. I have nothing but good things to say about Woodrack - one of Edmonton’s finest gems for sure.

I went to the Premium Outlet location because I was waiting for my flight back to Toronto and I was able to try this place out. I asked if they had croissants but they didn’t have them for the time I was there. The lady suggested this pastry and I cannot tell you enough how obsessed I was! I don’t exactly remember what it was but it was so good! I couldn’t stop telling my family about it after. Definitely a nice place to chill at if you have some time before your flight.

A little bit expensive ($10 for a latte and a piece of carrot cake). The carrot cake was moist but the cream cheese icing was hard. The batista wasn't exactly welcoming but he made a great latte. The café was full of customers on their computers so there was no where to sit (on a Monday afternoon) which was a little disappointing.

Amazing value on their food and drinks. Their salmon salad breakfast sandwiches and their bacon breakfast sandwiches are light, healthy, fluffy and delicious. They serve teas, coffees, lattes, hot and cold drinks including lemonade and sodas. Have yet to try their soup and grilled cheese but they have so many good menu options, it's hard to make a decision on the spot.

Really cute place! The coffee was great and service was good! My only complaint is on the portions, my iced drink once I took out the ice was only about 1/4 full and same thing happened with our soups (only 1/2 full). Grilled cheese was good but cheese was way too thick and not melted ... I will try this place again because I think it has good potential and maybe I just hit it on a bad day 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nice place to come in on a rainy day or early morning to get some work done. They do fill up quick so you may want to call in advance to ask how busy they are. Cinnamon bun was great, wasn’t drenched in sugar and you can actually taste the “bun” part. Food is priced ok and coffee is good. Wouldn’t say it’s my number one choice for a cafe to work at but would definitely come by for casual meet ups. Staff is friendly and orders come out quick. Their selection of pastries is limited, wish they had some more offerings.
