^^Different spot. Growlery is going under Home & Away. The Transcend spot you're thinking of is going to be Sorellina Coffee Roasters.

Jerusalem Shawarma is opening at 11305 104 Avenue. Far east end of the strip mall by Kal Tire. It will be very popular, can’t wait.

Another L'Oca location in St. Albert you mean?! Would not surprise me as the people there are even bougier than Sherwood Park lol

Oh yeah, pumped for the hood and great to have another coffee option with Aspen opening there. Paper Birch Books' little espresso bar is close to opening as well. That will be two more coffee options in the hood in addition to the eternal Spinelli's. Keep them coming!

I thought they were going slow on this St Al location but I Guess not. St Albert is getting a better food scene again.

Nuestra on 112th is officially open! The space inside is lovely, the owners and staff are great, and it was busy inside today (photo from their soft open on Saturday). The Chai Latte is delicious as are the baked goods. It's such a pleasant and bright place, really looking forward to what they do with the patio space in the summer.
The only problem, the coffee is extremely acidic. I know it is the trend for nice coffee shops but personally it tastes gross. I was hoping for a more Coffee Bureau style flavor than Candid. It's clear the owners put a lot of love and effort into the place and I really hope they do well but I don't know if its the right choice for a neighborhood cafe. I'll go back in a few weeks to see if the coffee evens out but I guess for now Felice will stay my coffee of choice in the area. If you like acidic coffee, this place is for you. If not, probably give it a pass.

Interesting that there is no Booster Juice Location at or near the head office.

Best 'new' addition to the Downtown might be Objects on Jasper between 103-104st.

I was downtown Sunday morning around 11:00 11:30 and popped into Commoder which was packed so I went to Fawkes to try them out. Line up. Ended at Blenz which wasn’t nearly as busy but did have a steady stream of customers. Clearly there is a desire of people downtown wanting to go places on a Sunday even with all the social issues etc. A glimmer of hope perhaps?

I went to dinner at Bistro Praha on the weekend and it was packed to the gills all night, despite the streets looking mostly deserted. If you have a quality or novel product, people will show up!

Was at an event at the Matrix. Was quite surprised by how busy it was with out of towners coming in for the concerts.

This is my experience as well. If you're serving great coffee, drinks or brunch in this city it seems to be packed.
