Confirmed that it is Candid Coffee Roasters that took out Mandolin Books. Looks like they are getting closer to opening.

The new spot Nuestro that opened close by also serves Candid Coffee. Despite losing Mandolin which was very disappointing, it's nice to see two local coffee shops open (but I don't like their coffee unfortunately 😕)

Ya, it's nice. But agree, the coffee is not good at either..... Would have been much more excited for a Coffee Bureau or Columbian.

Nuestra's Bagels are amazing, if you win the lottery and they have some in stock.

I had a chance to check out Kommune Snack Bar (in the old Ikki Izakaya space). Lovely space, great staff, and a really killer menu. The Smoked Meat Schnitzel is a must-try, as are the potato cake and the grasshopper pie! Official opening is this Friday. Great addition to the west end of Jasper Ave.

I also checked out Kommune and I also give it a thumbs up. Weekday business in particular has been very slow for them so far, but I hope things pick up.

Such a pity I can't make it.

I'm quite curious how the event works. I would expect it to be something like Taste of Edmonton where you pay for small items, but then I don't understand the 90$ ticket cost.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. "The admission price includes your food and beverage tasting tokens. Additional tokens are not available for sale; ample portions are served."

General admission seems to still be available. I'm extremely tempted to drop 90$ just to try the Fu's Repair Shop and RGE RD samples.

I'm thinking it would be even smaller portions than Taste of Edmonton, kind of like "whatever fits onto a spoon," is what you're going to get. Then you have to make a McD's run afterwards cause you're starving....lol
