Ace was a nice little gem tucked away just south of Whyte ave in Old Strathcona. Really nice space and very bright. The coffee was fantastic too, probably one of our favourites in the south!
Amazing Coffeeshop. Building is beautiful and Coffee is on point. Only open Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Cold Brew was a weekly must have for me during the summer season.
Nicest Cafe space in Edmonton. Roasting could still use a little work as flavors a bit roasty and muddled but I expect it to continue to improve.
Tasty oat milk lattes and amazing service. Cool building and design. Definitely recommend.
Great spot. One of my favourite coffees in Edmonton, if not my favourite. Unfortunately, they do not have indoor seating. This is a grab and go kind of place, but its damn good coffee. And the building is beautiful. Staff is also always kind.
Excellent staff who are effecient at what they do and very friendly. The atmosphere presents the comfort of a modern café juxtaposed with the vast openness of a warehouse. They supply most of what you need to make professional tasting coffee in your own home. This however is their downfall. Both their Americano and Pour Over are sharp and bitter, either due to a poor quality roast or inferior brewing practices. Regardless I enjoyed chatting with the staff and relaxing in the comfort of the soft afternoon sun.
It's a nice place for coffee. They have limited hours (weekends only). It's very spacious and large
Great coffee and delicious, uniquely flavoured donuts. The space is also really nicely decorated and the service was helpful and friendly! I was worried it would be too pretentious but I did not find that at all. Loved it! What a gem.
Love the atmosphere here and the coffee is pretty amazing too :)
Good coffee, friendly staff. Quite place for chatting.
This place is awesome for coffee lovers! They don’t have a large selection of drinks but do try their iced coffee, it tastes SO smooth!
Delicious coffee, great donut.
The Guatemala light roast is fantastic!
Like it. Another solid coffee place in Edmonton. They also sell high end espresso machines here (mostly from Italy). It's not always open, but they do roast their own beans here. That's always a plus. If I'm not mistaken, I think Coffee Bureau on Jasper Ave uses their beans.
The coffee is perfect, and the cafe is airy and bright. Sit, sip, and enjoy one of the great donuts while you're at it!
Loved loved loved the modern atmosphere!! Giving 4 stars since their coffee and baked goods were just decent.
Cute little place off Whyte with excellent espresso. The staff are all very kind as well!
Only open on the weekends. Very nice inside, very modern but with a touch of wood. The coffee is fantastic. Not a full menu of food but the pastries they have are very good, try the burnt butter donut.
The staff is awesome, the place is very nice, thanks to Mars (the barista) for the wonderful service, would come back and recommand anytime! :)
Wonky hours, but if you’re looking for truly delicious coffee you should check this place out.
Beautiful space.
Light, bright and contemporary space good for laptop work or meeting with friends. Has inside and outside sitting. Flat White with Oat milk is my favorite!
Fantastic Americano coffee, always very hot & fresh. The custard in the donuts is excellent.
I go to Ace weekly for a coffee, donut and a place to read. The staff are enjoyable and treat me like a regular. The atmosphere is great and I always feel relaxing after a morning in this sun filled space.
Delicious coffee and doughnuts in an amazing space. Love the custard doughnut and an americano.
They make amazing coffee! I usually order their coffee beans through their website and it’s a very easy process, ship via Canada post, and I usually receive it within a week. I have tried No. 1,2 and 3, 3 was my favourite! Just two espresso shots in the morning from No. 3 is enough for my head to preform the best all day long! No 2 was my least favourite, too caramely for my taste. I also love they way the mark the roasting date on their packages!
Good coffee and pizza!
As a roastery, they have excellent beans. As a cafe, they have excellent coffee at very fair prices. The middle of the location is an espresso and coffee bar with basically everything one would need to make any kind of coffee from espresso to French press and pour over. As a coffee supply store, they have something of everything you might need from gooseneck kettles, knock boxes, aeropress, espresso tampers, pour over equipment and filter, hand grinders to machine grinders and espresso machines. Very good place with people that clearly care about coffee.
It is time to update your website, impossible to buy online and full of bugs.
I wish this place was open 7 days a week! However, it’s only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Coffee is consistently amazing and very well might be the best in Edmonton. Seating is uncomfortable, which I think was done on purpose. It’s not a place where you bring a laptop and work in public. Parking is limited. Be prepared to wait multiple minutes for coffee as this place gets mad busy.
I came across this cafe while I was staying in Strathcona. It's in the backstreets but it was quite popular. Being from Australia I find most of the coffee in Canada ranges from downright disgusting to below average. ACE Roasters, however was much better than average and possibly the best coffee I've had in Canada. It's also in a brilliant and funky space that's nice to hang out and read a book or work away on a laptop on.
Friendly and modern place for everyday coffee. Service is good and coffee amazing. I enjoyed having my late ????
Great coffee spot in my hood
Really hipster warehouse style venue. Coffee is great.. accessories are unusual. Only disappointing thing is their treats are your basic donuts.
Great coffee and the building is beautiful, but I’ve never really had a warm reception here the few times I’ve been. Give it a try and hopefully my experience was unique.
Amazing coffee, beautiful space, and great staff! Shout out to Samantha for making the best oat milk latte in the city and always putting a smile on my face.
Great experience at ACE. The building is beautiful inside, landscaping and patio are very well designed. Coffee was delicious and the service was excellent and friendly.
Limited hours, but their coffee is delicious. Would be nice to have an online store.
Great coffee and doughnuts. Recommend stopping by and trying a cappuccino if you have some time. Really cool atmosphere too.
Very good roasts, and skilled baristas. Highly recommend for those seeking quality. Check the hours before you head there though!
Best latte I have ever had...ever!
Great lattes, nice atmosphere, and beautiful building. No syrups in this coffee shop for those wondering.
Best coffee in yeg! My only complaint, the service is pretty slow when it comes to making your drink. Okay that AND, they often miss the second drink on the order slip so your standing there waiting for a coffee they aren't even making. Sounds funny, but it isn't
Beautiful coffee. Amazing donuts. Friendly and cheerful staff and excellent cappuccino. And again—make sure you have a donut.
Their beautiful high ceilings and natural lighting make up for the fact that they are only open on weekends. Felt very welcomed and well informed by their kind and intelligent baristas. Great space to get work done, hang out with family, and even enjoy a nice book.
Very nice looking facility. Would be a good location to meet some friends. I personally don’t like the coffee roasts. Transcend or Credo are more my taste.
Great place. The coffee is delicious. We have made it our Sat morning coffee stop.
Love the atmosphere, tried some new coffee. I will be back. Oh and the donut was super good ????
Great coffee and beautiful space.
Funky place, delicious coffee
Excellent coffee and a great space with lots of light. Awesome staff that know their coffee and customers. Selena and Simon especially deserve 10 Stars each!
Tried calling first to see if they had wifi but the phone number goes straight to message. When I arrived it's a beautiful place but they don't have wifi. This upset me cause it doesn't state it on their website nor can you call and ask. Please fix this so I can come back and change my review.
If you have followed my reviews then you know that I still want to know why some of these coffee dispensaries do well or better than others. Other than belong well financed and managed by a team or board of directors, can a place actually rise above the rest? It's not coffee quality necessarily or timmies wouldn't have thrived. Mickie D's serves decent Lattes and I doubt the average big Mac buyers get a latte? Ace must be a chain place as it is a huge interesting former fabric store or something. Well laid out and in an ok location it seems to attract the business. The servers were efficient but mostly a transaction oriented sale of Capp. Is it the best imo, no. Close? Maybe 7/10. That is a good score. The best coffee drinks come from European style places from probably France imo. These inquiries are important as I want to open a sandwich outlet someday and want to know by analyzing this trend to see if an independent partially financed person can succeed. So in conclusion, I am ok with this place if another local place nearby is closed or too busy.
Uncomfortable chairs but such a cool space. Wish it were open more often
Disappointed after hearing and reading good things about ACE. Wr had a watery undrinkable americano, a weak lukewarm flat white, and croissant, which was okay
Hands down the Best Coffe Bar in Edmonton!!! Fantastic tasting coffee! Delicious donuts! ????
I was amazed when I found this place. Being a coffee connoisseur or junkie (either fits) I wasn’t sure what to expect as I went in. The huge sales area, that is open and clean, was not what I expected. I had a latte and wandered around for a bit looking at equipment and other things. The staff was a little stand offish for a bit for no one approached me. I asked one of the ladies a few questions and information came out like a steam roller. We talked about the roasts, flavours, best brewing processes.. HIGLY RECOMMENDED
Love this spot, Americanos on point, and amazing coffee beans for purchase. Always fresh and roasted to perfection.
Amazing customer service, coffee is the best in the city!!
I love the coffee and you can make it at home with good support from the professional baristas :)
Suburb coffee and service
Open on weekends only. The coffee tastes really good. Nice and wide area to spend some time alone, with friends or your infant. The coffee tables are made of wood in a super clean and nice decor. The room next the coffee shop has lots of espresso machine that you can admire so as the roasting room. It’s heaven for coffee lovers.
Ace Coffee at west Ritchie in my humble opinion, can be considered one of the most open designed coffee roasters/shops in Edmonton. The No. 9 pourover coffee is nicely made using the cleaver dripper and the donut selection is pretty amazing as well.
Great coffee and nice place to visit. A little bit overpriced
So good! A very neat venue, and amazing product
Such good coffee!! And beautiful decor.
ACE Coffee Roasters has exceptional customer service. I love the clean, friendly atmosphere and staff. I always get the same quality everytime and I keep returning because of the service and staff. Thanks for providing exceptional service everytime!
Great service and knowledgeable staff there to help you out with picking coffee beans.
Best cappuccino I have ever had. It was absolute perfection. I never knew such magnificence existed in this world. 10/10
Great coffee and a nice deck. Donuts are nothing special.
Amazing coffee and the staff are super helpful.
Nice environment for a nice cup of coffee. They have pour overs, French press and espresso type drinks. The coffee is delicious with heavy milk taste.
I have been drinking ACE coffee for about a year now, it was coffee bureau that first turned me on to them and boy am happy for that. ACE makes what I consider to be the best espresso I have had in YEG and their location is just beautiful, I don't live far away and regret not having gone sooner.
One of my favorite coffee places in yeg
Great vibe
Great coffee
Always great coffee and beautiful little place! ❤️
Whenever I go to Edmonton, I head to Ace, and I would tread through waist high snow to get there for one of their devine lattes and a donut (2 when no one is lookin') There really is no better coffee in E. Plus the staff are always so friendly and helpful even when things were at the peak of stress during the pandemic early days. So if you are on Whyte ave and cravin the best cuppa, head a couple short blocks off the strip for warm one and relax on their lovely patio.
Great coffee and really friendly baristas. They also have a lot of different brewing supplies for sale. Their pour overs are amazing :)
The atmosphere is so nice, clean, and cut. Barista was kind and the donuts were great. Drinks were not super good. Three quarters full and bitter
Great place, huge shop , very friendly staff, in house roasting, would recommend this place to everyone
They have simple selection of coffee. Their coffee was good & their donuts were yummy. It is neat inside and spacious and open. Parking can be difficult as you have to find street parking.
Having been used to Danesi beans for a number of years now, I was delighted to taste Ace's No. 3 espresso bean. The taste is so smooth and you cannot beat the freshness. The No. 1 is always very good, but being used to the Danesi I prefer the No. 3. The staff were very friendly with my orders and have helped me with orders from CafeTech for a couple years. Bottom line, the coffee here is amazing!
Smooth coffee, tasty doughnuts (yumm Nutella!) and nice open space with plants and greenery, and pleasant baristas. Not a lot of seating indoors but some outdoors in the summer. Can purchase coffee related products. Nice atmosphere and close to Whyte but on a quiet back street.
So love everything these guys are doing! Such great coffee and service every single time I visit. 10000% recommend for the best flat white and pourovers!!
Great coffee served by shiny, happy people. Ask for Samantha, she makes a killer espresso shot!
Tucked away just off whyte, ace is a hidden gem. Beautiful spacious building with friendly staff. Lots of people coming by on foot or by bicycle due to the lack of parking, though not impossible to find, in the area and tight streets. The selection of coffee types is small but adequate. Very good bright tasting coffee. The pastries are a bit on the pricey side but very good. The custard croissant was light and fluffy with a nice sweet custard.
Lovely staff, mean oat lattes.
Came in to meet a friend and the big windows in the front made the place very welcoming. Music is perfect loudness to be enjoyable and set a classic coffee conversation mood. (whatever that means). Try the bombolini donut if you can..its freaking amazing. The dough is really soft and the custard is delicious, you'll want another. Coffee is perfect.
Nice roastery and Café
Always a great experience and the staff are top notch!
Coffee tastes great, but decor is very sterile. Barista doesn’t seem to know that you have to talk louder to be heard over music and roaster.
Nice new building behind Whyte avenue that sells killer locally roasted coffee beans. They also offer a decent amount of seating and doughnuts with the espresso and coffee they serve up. Definitely one of the best places for coffee in the city.
Love this place. Coffee is great.
I think id like this place a lot more if they were open when I wasn't at work .... they close at 4 ...I work till 6v
One of my favourite coffee shops in the city. Although it’s not the greatest spot for studying, it’s perfect for chatting!
Best flat white I've had in Edmonton so far. I really loved being able to see their roasting process through the glass throughout the building. Really clean, modern industrial atmosphere, experienced and friendly baristas, and wow were those donuts delicious!
They roast their own brand right in the style. And you really need to eat the donuts. Just eat them.
Very nice, great coffee. My only complaint is that it was kind of noisy witch can make conversation a little difficult.
Bad service
Best Coffee in town!!!
Amazing coffee. Tiny, but delicious donuts.
Great Americano. A bit disappointed that there were no neutral or savoury baked goods and only very sweet looking doughnuts, but overall a good cafe to sit and chat in.
Great coffee, knowledgeable staff
Wasn’t to sure what to expect when coming to this place when entering this residential neighborhood. Quiet storefront cafe and they must have the coffee roaster warehousing in the back. Large selection of coffee beans to purchase. The best surprise was a great selection of donuts to also buy!
Dishonest business with terrible customer service. Would reccomend buying coffee at one of the various other roaster in Edmonton.
My wife and I have made it our mission to try different coffee roasters from all over Canada during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Ace coffee was one of the first roasters we tried, and is now the one we compare all our other roasts to. We love a dark roast and their Ace No. 10 is simply delicious (we brew in an Espro french press). It is way better (and fresher) than 2nd wave dark roasts, and its flavor profile unique among 3rd waves. It makes mornings bearable and has become our "house" roast. Although we regularly went up to Edmonton to visit family and friends, and we have yet to visit in person. Once this entire thing blows over, Ace will be one of our first stops when visiting.
ACE is excellent! Great coffee / friendly and expert baristas. My fav in town.
My favorite coffee beans in edmonton hands down. Great donuts is a bonus. Beautiful decor and nice atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Not much else i could ask for in a cafe.
The espresso in my latte was super smooth and delicious. Absolutely loved the look of the cafe and the patio outside
Came in for the first time for a quick coffee and was surprised to see that a customer brought their dog in and let it walk around freely barking at everyone waiting in line, It was really annoying and neither customer or staff did anything about it. Not very professional or sanitary so I definitely won't be back. Pretty sure animals aren't supposed to be in places where food and beverages are served. Plus the coffee is overpriced and wasn't very good.
One of my many Edmonton hideouts. I absolutely love their coffee! I find no need for sugar or milk (unlike other places I've tried.) I try to order something right as I run out to not loiter because I end up spending the entire day there in the corner enjoying their delicious donuts and coffee! Absolutely peaceful, though it becomes busy around noon-2. I do not mind their hours as I only have weekends off anyways. Everything is AFFORDABLE, not over priced. The bathrooms are always clean. The space is open and bright, and the walls r glass so you may watch their production. Personally, I've never had a parking issue because I'm mindful of their heavier trafficking hours. Staff is knowledgeable and polite. Beats Starbucks by a long shot with taste and prices. Coffee lovers, this is the place to be!
Great coffee and doughnuts must go
Never been to this location, still need to go, but have had their espresso at Bon Ton Bakery and it is top notch!!!!
Overrated reputation for this place. Coffee is fine, the server was interested into us as customers as in last year's snow. Needs improvement in customer service skills. Cool looking place, nice interior and patio decorations but very uncomfortable to sit at. Not inviting to visit again.
The best in town.
Nice place to have a donut ???? & ☕, love the cafe design ^^
Great spot in Ritchie! I came here one day and did a little bit of work on my laptop. Great little doughnuts which are the perfect size. Not too sweet. I really liked their French Press which is enough for two people. Nice little spot
Cappuccino too milky. Very loud construction nearby and not able to sit inside
If you love real coffee - visit this place! You will certainly find your own favorite coffee beans.
Great Italian Cappuccinos. Highly recommended!
Great Italian Cappuccinos. Highly recommended!
Staff are rude and snobby, would stay away if you are an outsider.
Yes its a ok nice place in a trendy neighbourhood.would go more if they offered more than sugar donuts.
Free cups ! These guys pour real passion into your coffee and the spring actuated espresso machine is second to none in quality extraction !
Very rich space - be sure to look up and see the wood structure. Love the marble countertops, too. Great coffee with plenty of roast and origin options. Very hard to understand why they've blatantly plagiarized the Royal Air Force roundel for their logo (which closely associates to the roundel of the Royal Canadian Air Force). It's unmistakable. I could maybe see it if they had some mention of the RAF on their webpage explaining some kind of connection (maybe to the concept of a flying ace?). Disrespectful to those that served and gave their lives for our freedom over the past 100 years of RAF history. Simply not possible that Ace was not aware of this. While the roundel is not protected under copyright this doesn't make this appropriation acceptable. The more I think of it this is just baffling. I just don't get it. Open to the company giving some kind of explanation here.
We love this place! Delicious lattes, americanos, pour-overs with their roasted coffee. Hint: you can even ask for different espresso for your drink, as they usually have two espressos available in different grinders. Oh -- and always get a donut, they are to die for! I'm there 1-4x per week as we're on the same block --Birkley
Fantastic coffee, I’ve gone here so many times and they’ve yet to disappoint. Staff are lovely and always serve quality coffee. Can’t fault the place.
Cool place for a coffee, surprised to find a local gem like this
Very good coffee /latte. Only one size and served in a glass. I prefer cup. Nice modern feel and unique decor.
Delicious coffee. I would definitely check out some of their house roasted beans.
This place is amazing. The staff are very friendly and happy to discuss the building, business and design. Also, cant forget the super delish coffee. A must stop. Enjoy!
Unique and local. A perfect combination!
Love this place, by far the best coffee I've ever had and very cute aesthetic. I give it a 4.9 because there's a few things I wish were a bit different - clear pricing on items for sale, and although the furniture is very nice I find it uncomfortable and the tables awkward when they do have their seating area open. Will continue to support local Edmonton! Thanks ACE
The perfect Americano, tasty doughnuts, and a clean, bright space. A gem of a coffee shop in the Whyte Ave area! Now if only they had some comfier seating...
Very good coffee, delicious pastries, and interesting products for sale
Great coffee and service. Awesome to see the roasting process and fancy espresso machines
Was gifted some of their coffee for Christmas. Brewed this with a moccamaster. Very smooth.
just love their coffee, so stylish spacious coffee shop
Must go if you love coffee
ACE has such a wonderful atmosphere and delicious espresso. Their menu is simple and well put together. This is a great place to spend a few hours visiting with friends or doing homework. They have a great patio, beautiful plants, and rustic and unique seating. They have clean, gender neutral bathrooms. They have a selection of donuts daily: three cakey donuts (brown butter, pistachio, double chocolate), one glazed, and three filled (custard, apricot jam, and nutella). ACE also has a good selection of French presses and espresso making products.
Ok, I did my taste test this weekend, comparing double espressos. My ranking in terms of taste from highest to lowest is: ACE Cafe (#2 Blend), Credo, Starbucks, Transcend, and Italian Centre (95 Street). Consistency of results vary based on grind, tamping, temperature, pressure and time and machines used, as well as the roasting and blending of the beans. Currently, ACE Café is only open Friday-Sunday, but it is worth the trip.
Usually have a good donut here but ordered a dozen donuts over the weekend, half glaze and half cinnamon sugar, and they were frozen. The only time I get donuts that feel frozen is Tim Hortons, so this was not good. Won't be returning.
Best americano I've had in YEG and solid donut. Friendly staff, quick service, and I love the space.
Deep in the wilds of Ritchie, close to the funky of Whyte is Joe Parrottino's latest work of art and business.if you like Leva, you'll love ACE. He owns em both. Ace gets their donuts from Leva, and Ace does the roasting. He had an empty space doing nothing so made another great cafe. Even Bucky could smell the roasting. Ace is The Place, with all due respect to the American hardware chain.French toast for 2 @ $7.50 a marvellous way to learn about their quality. The folks working here are friendly and knowledgeable, a rarity these days.
In my opinion the best coffee in the city and while there you have to grab a donut.
Friendly staff and excellent, fresh roasted coffee! The space feels very open with its high ceilings, and the vegetation adds an nice feel. I believe they do pour -overs and offer a few different espresso blends for your mix drinks
Unfriendly employees and far over priced.
It’s a really nice place. I like their food and environment so much!!
The coffee here is what you'd expect from a nice local roaster, and the space is very cute. Cool selection of fancy espresso machines & coffee equipment to look at while you wait too. The doughnuts are normally a highlight here, though the pastry cream/custard in mine wasn't set properly and made a mess. My only major complaint is that this place has all the atmosphere of a mausoleum. Like, lighten up, y'all!
The espresso was pretty good flavour, but not like European espresso. Not many places to sit and chat.
Great atmosphere and amazing service
love the coffee, love the atmosphere
Good coffee & donuts friendly staff all good...enjoy...Don
I went on Saturday with my wife. The store is a beautiful place and very good coffee. My only complaint would be the staff and service. They were pretentious and dismissive.
Unique coffee bar. Very good coffee and pastries
It's hard to have good coffee and sweets in a location but they got it. I don't understand why ppl are complaining on why they have only donuts and some of them saying it's small or basic. The chocolate was overwhelming, but I believe they have some real good donuts and totally worth it. Great atmosphere too
