Mill Creek Cafe

It's small and quaint like many coffee shops. They bake their own bread here so I'm sure the sandwiches are amazing for that reason alone. This has more then coffee and pastries Our food was excellent. Its location is on a corner with some street parking. Free parking is offered at the back of the building. There is patio dining however we were there in winter. Looking forward to a return visit to sit out there and watch life go passing by on Whyte Ave.

I have been living in Edmonton for about 10 months now. Milk Creek Cafe is my most visited and favourite restaurant in the city. Truly a local gem. The staff is dialled in and quick. Sometimes is absolutely packed and lined up out the door, sometimes it’s quiet and peaceful. No matter what the service will be exceptional. If you are in need of a quick meal - call ahead and they will give you a super accurate estimate on pickup times. Trust me - this is a great local option.

Really good, friendly service, relaxed atmosphere that's great for adults and children alike. My picky eater who doesn't eat much gobbled up the crepe (regular size as there aren't kids meals), as did my toddler. Had to buy him a cinnamon bun (also amazing) because he wanted more to eat... Unheard of for my kid! Food was fantastic and everything was fresh and looked like it was made in house from scratch.

Today a friend of mine and I met at the Mill Creek Cafe. We waited for our breakfast for over 45 minutes. I noticed right away that the oil my food was cooked in tasted rancid. So did my friends breakfast. It was so unpleasant we both couldn't finish eating. When the manager came to talk to us. He accused us of lying about how bad our food was because he "tasted the potatoes and there was nothing wrong with them." He said the only thing he could do was comp our coffees. When my friend protested the manager said that we ate most of our meals (a lie) and therefore he couldn't in good conscious, comp our overly expensive inedible meals . We only ate our eggs and toast...because we were starving and one of us had to leave. The manager also belittled our waiter saying that "he had no power to comp our coffees." It was awkward to see a manager throw the staff he works with under the bus. I didn't eat anything afterwards and about two hours later, I began to get violently ill and so did my friend. I will never eat at this cafe again or recommend it to other people.
