Reviews of Avenue Eatery & Cafe (Butcher Shop)

Masooma Syed

Love the coffee love the vibe, great addition to Fort Mac

Rural Route1

Good brewed coffee, lots of espresso based drinks with your choice of milk or non dairy options. Bright and clean atmosphere good for meeting up with groups, you can also plug in your laptop and work here so good for students and working remotely.

Kyle Green

It has good small food options such and coffee/ batista menu. It can get busy though. No pour over if they are busy :(

Marcel Huebler

The service here has really improved, The morning baristas are friendly and efficient. Avenue has a nice array of coffees and teas to enjoy. The prices are steep especially if you’re grabbing a snack or lunch and they’re not open until 8 on Sunday mornings which leaves a lot of its 6-7 patrons without coffee or breakfast while staying in the Ramada. Hotels should offer breakfast from 5-11am especially the Ramada but unfortunately Sundays are an opportunity for the competition to profit.

Dennis Banks

Damn fine coffee, and I only had a cup of brewed coffee this time! Almond croissant was amazing warmed up too!. I will be back.

Gregory House

Out F 'n standing . My personal favorite eatery in the fort . Great portions , great food , amazing staff

Ken Reeves

Great selection of desserts to choose from!

Paul Blank

Very good coffee.

Geoffrey Bishop

Little disappointed that there was no milk design in the flat white but it still tasted good. Cannoli was scrumptious and the other desserts looked delicious as well

David St. John

Good coffee!

Mar ios

Very cool place. Amazing coffee and the food is great too! Lovely place to sit and get some work done.

Jason Abel

Don’t bother coming here close to closing. Ordered a 16oz London fog but tried to pass my order off for 12oz...i could hear them talking about it. The person took my order told the person making it what size it should be....did not want to wait any longer decided to leave. No one offered a refund for the smaller size or a full refund. I do want to support local businesses but if you just don’t care then why should I.

Sithara Fernando

Great place. The staff was super friendly and helpful. As a tea drinker I had no idea what most of the drinks were. Keegan was knowledgeable and answered my questions. I tried their Valentine's chocolate beet root latte( that's probably the wrong name ) my friend had an Americano Misto. Very comfy atmosphere as well. Will definately go again.

Jonas Eriksson

My favourite spot to relax. The atmosphere is so chill and the drinks are fantastic.

Borrey Kim

Great atmosphere. I love the interior of the place. Reminds me of cafes in bigger cities.

Tamra Berry

Friendly Staff & Great Atmosphere

babak parviz

very nice place. They have to look for better cleaning in the washrooms. Ceiling is open for a year now

Kyle Bechtloff

Very friendly staff, breakfast was delicious and it was generous portion sizes for the price. Will be coming back for sure

Phil Baikie

Great friendly service

Dee W

Service

Anna Nefedova

Coffee is great the service is a bit slow, hopefully it will get better with time

Seb Furtado

The staff are all friendly and sometimes when they aren't busy, you can ask for off menu items and they will create a delicious drink.

Caro La Fleur

Got muffins today, very dry

Kim Reck

A good place to meet people while enjoying but staff are not competent

Quin Amorim

Really good costumer service

Michael MacPhail

Best lattes in Fort McMurray! The staff is always so friendly and quick. Worth the trip to get your coffee fix

Eliana Cortes

Great environment, good service and really good coffee

Csaba Horváth

Wonderful cafe! Food is great and the staff are very friendly. Prices are a bit high though for some of the pastries and sandwiches but it's a good treat once in a while.

Chad Gergely

I really hate to leave a bad review but I had to come back to work so I am not able to speak with staff directly. I ordered a cappuccino and when I received it there was not even half of a cup filled with the $5 beverage. Because there was not nearly enough foam it is so strong I am not able to drink it. I was really disappointed and I hope no one else has this experience.

Bromley Barron

Ordered coffee along with 10 other people. Waited for 45 min and not a single drink was made. Then the worker decided that was the best time to fix posters at the entrance. Terrible service. The drinks we did end up receiving were extremely low quality. See picture

Jennine Tiedemann

What a lovely addition to the area, friendly service, wonderful coffee and the only place I have found Portuguese custard tarts

angie gouthro

Desserts and lattes are great! Good selection and a very nice room in the back to have smaller gatherings or classes in. Quick service even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon

Shauna D

Enjoyed the atmosphere as well as my espresso. Paid 3.25 for a single shot of espresso so quite a bit more than their competitors. Their ginger molasses cookies were amazing. Felt bad for the barista as she was the only one working when the place was at near capacity.

Khaled Me

Great coffee shop

Robert Coppard

I find the staff the last couple of months have been lacking attention to detail. Between giving drinks to the wrong customers to not making the drink as per the customer's request. I'm lucky I choose almond milk as a choice and not a dietary concern; as more and more often they have been using regular milk. I feel as though I shouldn't have to varify my order when I receive my drink

Marc McLaren

It's cool, it's good, it's hip, and multi-demographic; older, younger, babies, beautiful couples and people writing and working. There is a farmer's market up the street that one can walk to on Saturdays and theres a bunch of places conveniently nearby. The coffee was very good. Hipster cafe in a hipster part of town. Very cool decor - slightly industrial with reclaimed wood.

Ali Syed

Nice atmosphere and wide selection of pastry's and snacks

Paul Levesque

Excellent service, nice environment. Will go back definitely.

Linh Nguyen

Awesome place to sit and chat with friends. Highly recommend.

Anthony Punko

I originally gave this place a higher rating, but they haven't been able to keep their standards. Constantly missing thing from the menu and less and less staff all the time.

Tracy Kim

Recently went in to grab an afternoon Mocha and when I took my first sip it tasted off and really acidic, unlike how they ussually are. I polietly let the empolyees know and asked if they could add more chocolate. the one woman was fantastic and offered to make me a new one. the other lady was incredily rude, blamed the soy milk, made a judgmental face and told me there were already two pumps of chocolate. she scoffed and laughed at me and made me feel incredily unwelcome and bad for letting them know, likely not coming back

Fort McMurray Property Upkeep Inc.

BEST COFFEE SHOP IN YMM! I make it a point to visit this coffee shop when I'm downtown or near. Love the desserts, the drinks (hot and cold) and the atmosphere is beautiful! They have a large room to rent for meetings or mini parties too!

Matt Corbel

Staff are very nice but my drinks were cold twice

Ryan Anderson

friendly staff, great atmosphere. great coffee/sandwiches/pastries.

GMO

Food is amazing, coffee is spectacular, staff are so welcoming. Only good things to say about this place.

Amanda Ellsworth

Avenue Coffee is great place for those who want a quiet place to read, do work, or just meet up with friends. They serve great coffee and muffins, but more importantly, the cafe has a rustic charm and a cosy place to sip coffee while enjoying the snow fall outside.

George Armstrong

Great coffee, staff is always nice. Please add more GF options and consider hot breakfast options beyond the frittatas.

Amber Dechief

My favorite coffee in town desserts are average nice atmosphere and free wifi

Chris Nixon

Coffee and pastries are subpar and expensive

Jessica Leska

Straight up awful. Besides the coffee and sweets being mediocre, the staff seems like they are a pretentious bunch of elitist hipsters. The weird design is killed by the lack of organization. Would not recommend.

Andre Lambert

Enjoyed a very fierce cuppa cappuccino- just added a wee dram of honey and perfecto para me!

Carpet Guru

Nice and cozy. Good ambience.

Sharline Hamilton

Friendly, quick service!

Neal Barry

Great atmosphere, and even greater service! The breakfast beagles are the best ever, and the Americanos are delicious!

kazumi makwana

Very cute coffee shop. Only one like it in town!

Esper Lihn

Good coffee good treats but boring sandwiches

James Hammond

The best coffee in the city! ????????

Cassidy T

Gluten free Black Forest cake was delicious as was the London Fog, but temperature of the drink could have been a bit hotter. Will visit again!

Brian Malbon

Great food. Restaurant looked clean. Friendly staff.

Timothy Alexander

First time, had a London Fog and a cinnamon bun. It was very good, can see stopping in again in the future.

John Longley

The ladies were super helpful and patient with me. I couldn't decide what I wanted...I needed a good caffeine boost, they recommended the cortina? I got it with a shot of espresso, splash of vanilla and caramel drizzled over it. This is what dreams are made of. I'll be back... Soon. ????????????????????

Patricia F

Beautiful set up and trendy little place that would be perfect for quick business meeting. The staff has been friendly the few times I went in there. I their desserts and sandwiches but didn't really like my London Fog which I try twice but both times where on the bland side. But my wife enjoy her coffees she order there. It's a little on the pricey side but I can understand because they probably have to pay rent for their nice location. I will be returning and I will try their London Fog again maybe its third time is a charm lol.

Biraj Bhurtel

Top service and menu. Wonderful food and environment. Highly Recommended

Patrick LeFort

Love the ambiance of this place, great coffee and welcoming staff.

Haider Ali

It's a really nice looking place but is let down by severely inefficient service. We had an incredibly long wait for our order that arrived in bits and pieces. If you sit near to the espresso machine you will probably end up with other customers butt's in your face while they wait for their drinks too. ????????

G Hine

Good cozy place

John Sully

Under new ownership and having growing pains. Hot chocolate ordered weeks apart, prepared completely different, one with milk and then only with water. Baked goods sitting in case too long. Hopefully it improves soon. I will try again in a few months.

Zlatko G

Best coffee shop in fort mac.

Rebekah Campan

Cosy spot to read a book, chat with a friend, or get some work done. Their lattes are super yummy and they have different sweets and pastries to try each time I go. Staff are very kind and professional, and will give recommendations if you aren't sure what to get. There are tables, a counter, and a meeting room at the back that can be booked for groups.

George Szabo

I love going here to sit back and enjoy my coffee in the atmosphere. The staff have always been good to me whenever I visit. Snacks they offer are delicious along with the coffee and tea.

Nathaniel Greeve

Great coffee and great food!

Drew Wilson

Very nice coffee shop which would benefit from an uptown location.

Joanne Fredericks

We used the back room for a meeting, it was great! The room is really nice and the coffee is so good.

Kim

Best place to go for coffee in town

art bosgra

A little on the slow side but hey, it's worth it!

Jennifer Hayward

Great coffee! We will return!

Hanna Fridhed

The best coffee so far in Canada!!!

Aaron J. JacksonCrabb

Lovely atmosphere and friendly customer service! Had a London Fog and Blueberry Cheesecake- AMAZING! Will definitely be back to try the coffee!

Mark Searra

Coffee was good, food was incredible. Little on the pricey side but I'd pick this over starbucks

John Bernardo

It's ok. The atmosphere is great

Oksana Onyshkiv

Service was great, drinks were great and the atmosphere was amazing compared to Starbucks. This place is totally meeting all my coffee shop needs from now on

Clarren Ting

Very junior staff that have not been trained how to work nor how to serve customers. The product was good there's no doubt but had excessive wait, order was not correct, delivered in bits and pieces and it wasn't even busy! Staff need training badly needed.

Andreas C

Pretty good menu. Great tea options. Really nice decor/vibe. Could have more vegan options and more eco friendly packaging.

Cara Brooker

Excellent customer service

Jeff Ingram

Wonderful charming cafe. The espresso is wonderful and the staff are the most welcoming people in the city. Probably my favourite coffee in the city.

Bradley Bam

Great coffee. Nice spot, nice environment. Go check it out

Amanda Cardinal

Official review with a suggestion. First take slow brew off the menu. Too many don't know how to make it and the last one I had was horrible. Also if you must keep it, consider not using espresso roast. I will come back one more time then I will officially be done.

Tony Robins

Very nice modern shop.

Arman Amiri

It is a nice atmosphere and very hard working people. That is a place we need for our town. I hope they can hire some experience staff and improve thire services. Coffee is always cold ☺️. I know they are working on food quality, I hope to see improvement very soon. I hope community will support them to be be successful. Good luck.

Danielle Ouellet

Slow and uncoordinated service.

Jennifer Allen

just awesome...I'm a very picky person when it comes to my coffee...and since I'm lactose intolerant I have to compromise at many places...but this place is just awesome...the staff is very friendly and the lady also offered me types of dairy free milk (soy,almond,cocunut). if you guys would like to keep taste of coffee on ur taste buds go for spinach bistro as it's not sweet yet delicious...excellent ambience for students, writer or if you want just some quiet alone time...

Blaine Bradley (Bradley Financial)

No sandwiches or breakfast food at 830am and staff can't prepare any until 10am.

Cordale Hayward

No website or online menu? Next.

Rida Ikram

Great coffee shop. Good coffee and pastry shop. Nice atmosphere.

Thomas A

Staying at the hotel in the building for a week and was hoping this would be the place I’d go for breakfast everyday. Unfortunately I had a pretty disappointing experience. I had a latte where the espresso seemed to be under-extracted as it was quite watery. Muffin was small, not very flavorful and $5. Staff seemed pretty indifferent.

Lydia Kerr

Great rustic ambiance, great coffee, free wifi....any questions?

Matt Salem

Seriously good coffee. Best coffee shop in Fort McMurray. Extremely friendly people working here too. I stop here everytime that I'm in town.

Joseph

Jenny Leigh

Always a good cup of coffee.

Jaisoun

Surprisingly VERY good coffee in FMM!

Jordann Hull

Terrible experience. The lady took our orders and then went to the back to take a break instead of making drinks. When she came out she went to adjust some signs hanging in the window, and someone from our party had to go over and ask if she could please make our drinks first before adjusting posters. Another table was waiting for their drinks with us as well and we were shocked how long it took. When we were finally served, the drinks were cold and not fully mixed, and we didn’t even get our dessert. Will never be back here.

C Yi

The owner was incredibly friendly and considerate, the food was delicious and the service was fast

Roen Landicho

Great coffee, great service, awesome food!

Cody Ivey

We had breakfast here a couple days ago and it was excellent! The owner/ staff were all very nice and served us quickly. The atmosphere is much like the previous version of the establishment, relaxing and tasteful. The food was good, especially the chocolate chip pancakes and the portions were perfect for me. Will be making this a regular stop!

Lee Bridger

not the best coffee

Dave Yayechnick

Great coffee and atmosphere. A local favourite!

Shel Graupe

Great place to hangout. If you are a student you can do your work here. Free Wifi and great tasting beverages and deserts. You can't go wrong with this

Brian Mills

Horrible. Coffee was way to expensive service was god awful. We stood at the wrong spot for 5 minutes while the staff just talked to each other. I won't go their again.

Kel Dek

Just had some good coffee here. Nice attention to detail and friendly warm service. Hope management keeps their staff happy and the cup will taste as good as this next time too

Mayja McRae

Fresh tea and coffee, pastry selection, yogurt and prepared sandwiches.

Gerard Ayen

Relaxing and trendy environment to relax or get work done!

Neat and comfortable place to have coffee ☕

Sandra Forest

Always fast and accurate, friendly staff keeps me coming back, also the cinnamon rolls...

Amanda Rivers

Great atmosphere, even better coffee and baked goods.

Charmaine Rider

Coffee is decent, can't seem to keep staff. Always someone new...

Ryan Chichak

Really good baked treats, so-so coffee - wish they had a medium roast option. Clearly trying to appeal to the Starbucks crowd.

Laura S

Very pleasant atmosphere and great staff. If you want to go to a place to not have a great food experience but rather to “chillax”, enjoy a good cup of tea or coffee in Fort McMurray, that’s a great place to go.

Avinesh Narayan

Great coffee, sandwichs, and desserts.

Natasha Pitt

Great coffee and amazing atmosphere.

Jeff McKeeve

Dine in

Harcourt Perry

Hours currently don't match that what's listed here.

TK

Great coffee shop

Brooke Downey

Good morning breakfast is awesome.

Gregory Martin

New workers or owners don't even know there own menu. Couldent understand a simple order and looked blankly at me when I said that the first item what's the wrong one and we're even more annoyed when I no longer wanted my wrong order and just my money back aswell having had 5 people served before me that orders after me.

Kyle Bourke

Great place, good coffee, really good baked goods! Will definitely be going to again.

Andrea Serroul

Great little out of the way coffee shop. Love the big open windows. Relaxing. Good spot for java

Manny Salvador

An excellent cup of coffee!

Anthony Prebble

Love the food service is ok

Terry Huha

Good espresso. Stale cannoli.

Ashley W

Best coffee in town. Friendly, courteous staff and a nice atmosphere to enjoy it in. If you like coffee, you'll want to visit this place, and the other unique shops in the same complex as definitely worth a visit as well. Fort McMurray needs more like this!

Steve MacDonald

Excellent staff and atmosphere.

Patrick Leitch

Love the separate room!

Jasmine Kaur

Great muffins and coffee

Chris Bowers

Took my daughter there for a date... I dont do coffee shops, but the staff was great.

Ty Brandt

Not the best location, but easy if you work/live downtown. Terrific coffee and small lunch fare.

Paidamoyo Bere

A beautiful shop, nice atmosphere with music to match. The staff were nice enough but I had to repeat my order from start to finish twice, and she still forgot to grab my treat. They seemed very distracted with their own conversation which sounded like they were bashing another staff member.

Jennifer MacPhail

Really want to support and love this place as someone who has been anxiously awaiting for them to reopen since the flood and it's in my neighborhood. I've gone 4 times now and was disappointed. I can understand staffing affecting their service issues, hope that improves. But their coffee/tea game needs work to be considered a cafe. 4 various tea lattes that tasted like hot water and milk , teabags not being steeped for near enough time before adding milk (also tried various coffee choices and those were disappointing). Got a croissant that was super cold and rock hard. I really like the food menu here but service and drinks need more training and attention to detail.

David McLagan

Great coffee, food and atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Trent T

I love getting coffee here, and it’s great that they have non dairy options for those of us that don’t consume dairy products.

Kia Torraville

Heaps of seating, great lighting, good for studying--had a great tumeric latte.

Danielle Deslauriers

Great atmosphere. The food and coffee were great too. We usually like to grab and go but we really enjoyed just being there sipping our drinks and enjoying each others company.

Becca Scott

Corner coffee shop with rustic & calming vibes. Great staff & better coffee.

bryan o

Great coffee spot... Nice environment..

Sean McKinnon

Great interior, great menu. Very nice owner. Please support this awesome local eatery. We need more places like this downtown

Daniel Persad

Wildly expensive 20 dollars for 2 croissants and 2 16 ounce coffees

Bhupinder Gill

Really cute place. Expensive

Stephen Cornish

I heard it was the best coffee shop in town so I stopped in. The cappuccino and espresso shots were wonderful keeping me awake to Calgary.

Pat Viel

The only place for coffee lovers in Fortmac. Great atmosphere

Mitchell Murphy

Nice coffee shop

Kathleen Northcott

Very nice an quiet

Emily Richards

I used to love coming to this place years ago, but since it's reopened after the flooding it has completely changed and was disappointing. There was no menu or prices displayed anywhere - either on the walls or printed out anywhere. I ordered two small cappuccinos, and they were very bland. Mostly milk. And they were quite expensive. There was also very limited options for baked goods, nothing compared to what there was years ago. They also do not seem to care about the covid restrictions. One employee working in the kitchen had their mask hanging around their chin, and two other people in the back were not wearing masks at all. For a place that serves food this is concerning. Very sad to see how this place has declined. I used to love coming here! Hopefully it will improve.

Collin Prince

Very nice little coffee shop. Got the iced chai tea which was delicious, and got the ham and cheese croissant sandwich, which was very yummy aswell, I wish they had heated it up just a little bit more because the ham was slightly cold. The quality of the drink and food was very good and prices were very fair, when I come to visit fort Mcmurray again I will come here again.
