Lock Stock

Came in for lunch today. Entered through the wrong doors and sat down and was ignored which was probably my fault. I got up after a few mins and found the front counter. I ordered and my bagel and coffee and was served the food very promptly! Mocha was probably one of the best I have had in a very long time. Bagel was pretty tasty as well! I liked how chill it was there and I liked the music. Will most definitely pop in again sometime :)

Location: I’m not going to lie, it’s a bit of a dungeon. Sure, plenty of daylight filters down from street level, but you’re always going to feel like you’re underground. Setting: It’s a dark-stained wood-paneled pub with church pews. Pretty consistent with the whole dungeon vibe. Service: Both our host and server were delightful and cheery – which did a lot to lighten the mood. Drink: I ordered a chai latte which was artfully crafted by someone who obviously takes pride in their work. It was less sweet than a traditional chai which made it better for me, no doubt, but honestly less tasty. Food: I had the bacon and egg English muffin and it was fantastic! Once again, this was obviously made by someone who cares. My only complaint was the choice to add arugula. Now this was my fault since I didn’t read the menu description carefully, but I do wonder how there are so many people who enjoy this bitter-tasting herb. I may not be in the majority here, but never in my life have I thought any dish could be improved if it only tasted more like poison.

My favourite coffee shop in Edmonton. The most peaceful place to do some work or have a coffee with somebody. The music playing is always great (but not too loud), the coffee is delicious (they brew ACE!), the food rocks, the prices are reasonable, and the staff are super friendly (I’ve made friends just through coming here for years).

I’ve been to lock stock a handful of times and they seem to only get better. the girls who work there are very friendly and welcoming. they have by far the best breakfast sandwiches ive ever had and to top of off they make a delicious latte! i recommend lock stock to everyone i meet. i could go on forever about this place :) if you have the chance to go you won’t be disappointed!

I have only been here in the mornings a few times, so I only had the chance to try out a few of their breakfast sandwiches and coffee. While simple in presentation, you can really taste the flavour of all the ingredients. For instance, the subtle sweetness of the house-made tomato jam stands out with the savoury taste of the meat. Americano is pretty much what you would expect as well. Service is also pretty quick, and the workers are friendly. I’ll definitely be back to try out some more, especially some of their fresh baked goods. Also worth mentioning it’s quite interesting to visit the place during the day when comparing it to the bar atmosphere of Red Star during pre-pandemic nights. When restrictions aren’t in place, it can be a nice getaway for productivity settling in one of the booths.
