Welcome To Our New Neighbours

MEET OUR NEWEST BUSINESSES!

If these first few months of 2023 have showed us anything, it’s that Edmonton loves its sweet treats! But it doesn’t stop there, we welcomed 20 new businesses to the area from January to March. Check ’em out & stop by next time you’re in the neighbourhood.

• PhatBar Bakery is all about the 90s vibes with graffiti painted walls and an old school arcade game. You’ll want to try the PhatTart, Rainbow Cheesecake & enjoy bottomless coffee on Thursdays.
• Bonjour Bakery not only moved operations into the neighbourhood, they built a whole new building to house their full kitchen and in house flour milling. They specialize in ‘pain au levain’ (French for sourdough) using wild yeast culture to create their distinct offering of breads & other baked goods. (P.S. they also sell cheese)
