Edmonton Is Fine

Iconoclast Coffee Roasters () is an ultra-cozy ​café with​ great burgers,​ brunch, and neighbourhood vibes in the Oliver Exchange building in Wîhkwêntôwin.

It’s a ​longtime local gem...stay for all the plants and the chess games too!

​The owners also run Lovesong Bistro (.farm) in the same complex, so you can go from daytime to nighttime while only walking a few steps.

We’re on a bookstore roll! Audrey’s Books () is Edmonton’s oldest independent bookstore, around since 1975 and serving up new books in a fifty year old space on Jasper Ave chock full of literary history.

• This is the OG Edmonton indie bookstore and it had its start from writer Mel Hurtig. Fun fact: the bookstore’s name comes from not one but two Audreys who were involved in buying the bookshop from Hurtig. Don’t miss the staff picks shelf!

• Once you’re done with your book browsing, pop in to the Commodore restaurant (.restaurant) next door for a greasy spoon breakfast - it’s a classic and probably Edmonton’s oldest diner.
