I can’t imagine what their losses may be there, I assume they are keeping up the barriers on the sides closed at all times, otherwise that would just be a nightmare. Great spot, should compete well though, want them to succeed.
I'm surprised! I loved the space as a cafe.Tough to hear, but a ton of competition within 3 blocks added recently.
Yes, keeping the access on the far side closed so everyone has to go by the front counter area is an easy and good solution. I think I also saw what were probably building security people nearby.I can’t imagine what their losses may be there, I assume they are keeping up the barriers on the sides closed at all times, otherwise that would just be a nightmare.

Marco's Famous has that market on lock from 2:00am - 5:00am.Finally, someone recognizing MacEwan (and NorQuest) as a good client base to work off from, rather than just office workers.
Anyone on here taken advantage of Downtown Dining Week? Only goes until Sunday.
I've done a few and headed to another tonight. Maybe it's just me, but the buzz around it this year seems off/low?
Here's hoping it's doing well.

I fully recommend adding Ramen Misoya to your list if you can.So far I've been to the Harvest Room and Rosewood for Downtown Dining Week. The Harvest Room only had 4 tables full of patrons, however there was an Oilers game during the time I was there. Rosewood was full during lunch hour, so it's a good thing I was there early to grab a table. I'm planning to hit up Pazzo Pazzo, Cavern and maybe 1 or 2 more restaurants before Sunday night.
This is part of the problem related to all the empty retail space in the area. Who is going to care here and bring this problem to anyone's attention?This is the kind of stuff that frustrates me... going on 2+ months now, reported and no action. The metal sign stand was actually leaned up against this wayfinding sign by the roadway contractor causing the damage and still everything remains left, without care or attention and sends the message that we don't care.
