Stopgap Coffee

Went for a morning coffee date with friends and the atmosphere and service was just amazing. The matcha latte was the best I've had so far and we loved the croissants, I believe we got every single one they were offering, the almond cream, the garlic cream cheese, the ube and the pistachio one—will be coming back once we all have the time.

My go to spot in the city now! Love the coffee, croissants on the weekend, and the lovely service. It’s super cozy inside and you get such a personal experience! Overall, love!

Local cafe inside the heart of Edmonton downtown! Cafe is located near Government Centre LRT, inside the historical John T. Ross Residence (beside the Hendrix Apartment).There are plenty of street parking nearby for easy accessibility. They serve ACE #2 for their espresso and currently use Agro Coffee Roaster and Candid for their pour overs. It seems as though they will be bringing different beans from various places to provide diverse pour over options! Caleb is a friendly/knowledgeable barista! Definitely will be coming back!

I am so impressed with this local business! Fantastic coffees! Delectable and unique baked goods are brought in daily by a local bakery. This family-owned cafe has a warm and inviting atmosphere. Located inside a local historical building, enter by a short walk up 5-6 steps to the front door. A summer patio is open in the front yard with tables and chairs. Indoor seating is also available. I love how beautiful the infrastructure is complemented by classy interior decor. I enjoy stopping here on my walk to the river valley with my dog. (Trails are less than 5 mins from here! Dogs welcome! ...often with a treat!)

Tiny little cafe in the nook of the neighbourhood. Went unnoticed by me at first, although after trying it once I kept coming back. The coffee itself is good but also the atmosphere and warmth of the shop is excellent. Safe to say I'll keep on coming.

This is my favorite coffee shop! It is Local and so cute. Not only delicious coffee, but the atmosphere is something else. Everytime I walk in it feels like a spa! The music and the gorgeous wallpaper. Cute local gifts you can buy! The owner is my favorite part. Caleb and his family are one of a kind❤ He doesn't just serve you a coffee with smile! He brings so much Joy to everyone that walks in.

Ordered the Matcha Latte and was instantly in love, very good definitely have to go back and try some coffee and food, charming building and coffee cafe definitely a place to check out if you are a coffee lover.

I'm a regular at this café. The owner is an incredibly hard-working dude and the only employee (except on Saturdays where he employs the help of his wife, if I'm not mistaken). If you arrive during a busy time, there is always a bustle of kids, people, and dogs in this little heritage building. The owner sells local art and different coffee accessories alongside his menu; the food and drink menu may seem a little average at a glance, but it is executed with care and dedication. The pastries are made by the owner, and on Fridays he brings in locally made doughnuts (they sell out fast so you gotta arrive early)! StopGap's espresso is one of the few places where I actually enjoy drinking a straight espresso! The menu here also includes a few unusual items, making it stand out: HongKong milk tea, espresso cola in the summer, cortado, and a few more unique items.StopGap is one of the few places I know I can go if I would like a place to work and focus, or if I would also perhaps like to meet somebody new. The seating is limited here due to space-- Inside, there are twelve seats, six of which are shared at one large table. The summer offers additional seating outside on the patio and there is a bench in the main entrance facing the till and espresso machine. The bench shares space with this cute little windowledge so you have a place you can set your coffee. Oddly, despite how busy the rushes can get, there has always been an open seat for me, you just have to be willing to share your table sometimes. When it's not busy, you can clearly hear the casual modern instrumentals of a lo-fi radio going on in the background.StopGap has been an amazing meeting place for our neighbourhood, and I highly recommend a stopover!

I had one of the best matcha lattes I've ever tasted here! It's a cozy shop with a friendly atmosphere. You can tell the owner puts his heart into his business and loves what he does. Looking forward to my next visit!
