Coffee Bureau

Worth checking out for sure! Probably the best mocha I have ever had in #yeg. I didn’t give it 5 stars because of the hours — they close at 5pm and are downtown, and they need to spruce it up with décor. The coffee though, woha so good!

Outstanding coffee. I’ve been to many coffee shops in the country and internationally. This is in my top list. Well done Edmonton. Additionally, the baking is lovely as well.

This place was amazing! They had the best Americano I have ever tasted ever!
Chris and Peter are very knowledgeable owners and it really shows in their coffee. Their customer service and quality control create a great combination.
I have travelled all over the world but so far this Americano has pushed it’s way to the top of the list.
I hope in the future they scale up and find people just as passionate to get even bigger and they can share their ideals about coffee with everyone.
Small details that would make their already awesome little spot even better. Improve the environment and maybe even have a place outside to rest your coffer on if the place gets a little crowded.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Super friendly, outgoing staff, who actually engage in conversation, and what is, hands down, the best Americano I’ve ever had. It’s a bit out of my way, but I’ll be coming her again.

I love this coffee place! I usually come here once a week on my way to work to grab an americano. This establishment is owned by a lovely couple. Anytime that I have stopped by, they have been most gracious and very personable. The space is smaller with limited seating but I think it works in this situation. I always feel like I am stopping in at a friend’s or neighbor’s place to have a little visit and get my coffee fix before going to work.
The coffee is great. The baked goods that they serve are also delicious. And the service is wonderful. If you are looking for something unique in a coffee place, this is the place to go!

What a cute little spot. Really small so may be a squeeze but nice clean décor and super friendly couple running it. Worth the visit

I love this place!!! It’s a tiny, sweet place with the most genuine, caring service I think I have ever come across. They’re very accommodating to making dairy free drinks and its always yummy.

Spectacular! I found a dreamy little coffee shop near my hotel. I was greeted by the most pleasant people behind the counter, handed a perfect latte and a still warm croissant. A little slice of heaven. I will be back to get more coffee, some beans, and will always be sure to plan my accommodations in Edmonton so I’ll be near to Coffee Bureau!

5 stars for superb and friendly customer service!
Disclaimer: I came here for the first time on Saturday and was with a friend who comes here regularly, so I was introduced to the cute couple who owns this place and they were both super nice! I don’t drink coffee so unfortunately I can’t comment on it, however I did order a chai latte with soy milk (no almond milk was available this time), but it was well prepared and complete with foam art on top.
The space is small and simple and perfectly cozy.
I would definitely recommend this place to those who are looking for something different than the regular coffee chains.

With all of the new independent coffee shops opening up in Edmonton recently it feels like we are beginning to be the new Seattle (of course with a Starbucks on every corner as well).
Coffee Bureau recently opened up in a tiny location right on Jasper Ave. So far every drink I’ve had from there has been a hit whether it was a latte, mocha or one of their cold drinks. As a bonus they sell delicious scones, muffins, etc.
The owners work in the shop itself and are super friendly. They make an honest effort to get to know the people who go there on a regular basis. Amazing customer service!
The location itself is tiny so not a great place to sit around and slowly sip your coffee. But if you’re lucky you can grab a seat and people watch as they walk along Jasper Ave.
I must go to place for any coffee fans in the city!

You must visit this shop, they have the best Americano in the city (and I always miss their coffee when I am away on vacation, because nothing has compared yet). The owners are great people, I am always in a great mood after talking to them.

My favorite coffee spot! The people are very friendly and the service is great! And they make the best coffee! Love it!

I heard about this place in an article online about the downtown trend of indie coffee places in Edmonton, and so I thought I would check it out that same afternoon for lunch.
I grabbed a large regular coffee from the ridiculously nice barista, and then discovered that I had just found the best coffee I have tasted yet! I LOVE it, and I will be back for more coffee and perhaps some of their baked goods too!
It’s a bit small, but Coffee Bureau is a cool little spot for coffee lovers in the downtown area! I just wish they had bigger cups, because I need more!

I have been going to the Coffee Bureau from the second day they opened. I cannot say enough good things about this cool little coffee joint. Kris and Peter, the owners are just awesome. They always know how to make you feel welcome with a smile and a chat about what’s new in the city. As for the coffee– spectacular. The smooth, slightly nutty toasted flavour of the espresso in their lattes is a dream come true. They also have a changing selection of pastries and muffins. Don’t miss out if you see the pineapple carrot or donut muffins– those are my favourite. The place is small, the décor classic, clean and timeless. The prices are comparable to any chain coffee place, personally my conscience lets me sleep easier putting that money back into a small business.

Visited today with a friend. While it is small, the location is neatly tucked away on Jasper and is welcoming beyond its doors. Mocha was delicious! Great little place to visit. Highly recommend!

Keep in mind I’m no connesuir of coffee:
BUT the coffee was fantastic! I don’t drink a lot of coffee as it is, but when I want a cup, I find myself contemplating driving downtown for friggen cup.
So, yah thumbs way up! Go try it.
Small diggs, which I like. You don’t have to linger, you can take your coffee and enjoy it outside ;)
A friend of theirs also makes these delicious butter tarts… which I will be making at home from now on because for $ 4 a pop they are pretty small. Super delicious, painfully sweet but too small for $ 4. That shouldn’t stop you from trying it once though. Yummmm!

You know, downtown Yeggers are so lucky to have so many great coffee shops. You can’t throw a stone without hitting one, and the Coffee Bureau is a very welcomed addition!
I had to go twice before I could leave a review, because I’m so dedicated to a competitor, I wanted to make sure that doesn’t overshadow my review!
The lattes are very nice at Coffee Bureau. I’m not a coffee connoisseur and I don’t pretend to be, but it was just a nice smooth flavour. It’s just different than the other local shops I frequent. But I guess they are all unique. Coffee Bureau uses a locally roasted bean, from ACE. They have a nice selection of pastries, my fave being the chocolate cream cheese «muffin» (let’s be honest, it’s a cupcake with the icing on the inside).
The place itself is beautiful. Seriously a gorgeously decorated place. I could just stare at the Douglas fir ceilings all morning! They have adorable little built in tables that are almost more of a side table, which is all you need for your cup of coffee. I also adore the window bar, which looks perfect for people watching. It is a tight space for sure, but it’s right on Jasper Ave so it’s perfectly convenient to grab a cup and venture around the area.
Overall, I’m thrilled for the emerging coffee scene in downtown YEG.

I make no secret that the coffee monkey on my back is from Seattle, but with all the options now hitting the downtown core, it would be a shame not to branch out and try some of the more independent locations.
Walking down Jasper, I was surprised to find this new coffee shop — but then again, I guess it just opened and I’m not too tuned into the coffee scene here in e-​town.
It’s a small set-​up made for getting your coffee fix and a pastry as well. There are a couple of spots to sit, but I think foot traffic is the real target market. Keeping it simple is what works for the Coffee Bureau. You go in and get your fix to stroll and away you go — it works.
As for the coffee, it is delicious. Like I said, I’m good with the ‘bucks, but spoiling myself with a GREAT cup of coffee is something I like to do when I get the chance. Pipin’ hot, flavourful and not-​too-​expensive — what you want from your cup o’ joe.
As for the pastries, I did sample the Chocolate Cheesecake muffin and it was soooo good. I don’t know where they get their baked goods from (I don’t think they are made in-​house, but I could be wrong) but this muffin complimented my cup-​to-​go perfectly.
If you work in the area and want to try something new on your break, I’d recommend Coffee Bureau.

Edmonton’s newest café, Coffee Bureau, is sure to be a hit in the downtown core. How do I know this? Because it was a cup that didn’t make me reach for more sugar in a long time. Because it tasted delicious. If you’re a coffee connoisseur or a simple latte drinker like me, read on!
Coffee Bureau officially opened its doors yesterday morning, welcoming Edmontonians to take a break. It’s located on Jasper Avenue and 105 St, commanding the space in the Jasper Dental Building (that’s where my cousin practices!). Driving to the shop would be disastrous, it’s main targeted consumer on-​the-​go from and to work and take out lunches. Being a recent resident of the downtown core has it’s perks though, it’s only a block away for me. Score. Tables and countertops have yet to be installed to complete the space but they are open, Monday to Friday 7am — 5pm and Saturdays, and ready to serve you some spectacular coffee and baked goods. Once they ease into things, they also hope to make some simple panini sandwiches for lunch.
When I say «they» and I mean Kris and Peter, the cute couple behind the counter! Peter hopes to hire staff soon to keep up with the pace, deserving some time off of hard work I’m sure. Having worked for Leva and other cafés, including Toronto’s Darkhorse, brewing coffee and its culture is not new to him. Coming here all the way from Brazil, the irony isn’t lost that Kris, a dentist by trade, is now serving up the brew in a dental building no less and is always smiling!
As coffee enthusiasts, a typical vacation or trip for Kris and Peter includes visits to 4 or 5 coffee shops at the least. In the last five years, a lot of coffee shops have been offering a more acidic coffee. Bored of this style, Coffee Bureau sought out ACE Coffee Roasters, owned by the folks who bring us Leva and Caffe Tech Canada. The local roasters offer something completely different: a smooth, well-​balanced blend with beans originating from Columbia, Brazil, and Ethiopia. Coffee Bureau is the first to serve ACE Coffee, and the under-​construction Alder Room, late 2015, also have plans to feature the blend.
Joe and I loved our lattes from the soft opening over the long weekend, taking our drinks to the river valley to enjoy the sun. And while I’m no coffee expert (I hope to change that with YEG Coffee Week coming up!), I could tell that this cup was quite different from any of the roasts Edmonton has to offer. I always find myself reaching for sugar every time I order a latte that isn’t from the sugar-​laden Starbucks. This cup though, perfect. And definitely a good break.
So if you’re anywhere on the spectrum of «I don’t drink coffee» to «I can tell you where the beans are from», check out Coffee Bureau! I look forward to the days when I run out of Nespresso capsules (happens more often than you think…) and grabbing a smooth-​tasting latte!
