Block 1912 - Edmonton

My first visit to this restaurant was a great experience! The staff members were friendly and helpful, the space had a nice warm ambiance, and most tables were spread apart for distancing. There was a great selection of daily fresh desserts made in house, along with tasty drinks. My friend and I shared the Lavender Custard Cake, which was a decent size for two people as a light evening snack. It had small layers of chocolate cake stacked between layers of white custard, topped with a lightly sweet lavender icing. It was one of the best specialty cakes I've had in a while, not overly sweet. The London Fog, flavored with lavender, was divine and is now in my top 3 best fogs in the city. I will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu, especially the daily fresh desserts. So fancy!

Apple cider small was $4.20 total. It was nice. There was a cinnamon stick in there and the drink was on the sweeter side so I ordered ice water with it! It's a nice homey place to hang out. The lights are dim and feels sort of like a cabin on the inside

This place is so good! Their lavender latte is amazing. There's lots of seating, the dessert display is unreal! I didn't try any the last time I was there but next time I for sure will. The staff are friendly but also are the kind of staff who won't bug you and just sort of leave you alone which can be nice. It's whyte ave so parking isn't great which is a pain but if you're on whyte definitely swing by and give it a shot!

I visited this cafe before the Covid-19 outbreak. It is a charming and cozy spot with plenty of seating including couches and regular chairs. There are books available to read on the shelves, making it a great place to relax with a good book or a laptop. I ordered a Latte and Tiramisu, both of which were delicious. I can't remember the prices as a friend treated me. If things return to normal, I will definitely be back to this cafe again!

Before the renovations, I've known this place for the yummy gelato and desserts. Now I notice you can eat a light meal eg. sandwich or soup), in addition to a drink and dessert. The venue layout and ambience is casual, cool and urban. I find the dim lighting helps to make the experience seem more intimate and private. There are small tables for 2-3 people, as well as larger cozy chairs seated next to coffee tables. From what I've experienced, the desserts look as delicious as they taste! There's a wide variety of tasty options from fruit to chocolate flavors. The portions are also quite large. I shared a slice of tiramisu $7) and a large peanut butter and chocolate tart $7) with 2 friends. We each had a decent sampling of both desserts. My sweet tooth was satisfied. Overall, I've been happy with my experiences here. For a sit down meal, there are better options along Whyte Ave. However, to satisfy your sweet tooth, I highly recommend Block 1912 for some dessert!
