Remedy Cafe

I love remedy. I love a Kashmiri chai latte. I love the atmosphere here. I mostly enjoy the food. If you’ve been to any Remedy in Edmonton, and liked it, you’ll likely like this one too! It’s usually pretty busy on weeknights. Not gonna lie, I’ve chosen this as a great place to meet someone for a first date. It’s close to other places, it’s a busy public place, and most people know where it is and enjoy it.
The only thing that I don’t care for here is the vegan cakes. They look like they would be sooo tasty, and perhaps if you’ve been gf or vegan for a while, they might be… but I eat eggs and dairy and chocolate and meat and everything that cannot go into these cakes and… I’ve tried a few kinds now and they all made me sad. Sad for the cakes. Sad for vegans. Sad for people who can’t eat gluten. Sad for chocolate. Just sad. Cake shouldn’t make you sad…
They *do* make some pretty tasty Indian food! Fill up on that so the cakes don’t tempt you into disappointment!

Came to the 124 street location of Remedy last night, for the first time, with the fam jam while we were waiting for our table at Prairie Noodle House.
The 4 year old enjoyed a banana and a glass of water and the 7 year old ordered a Mango Lassi and liked it but not as much as at other places.
The hubs and I each ordered a speciality tea — I ordered the green tea chai which had some sort of flower petals and nuts in it. The bottom of the cup was kind of like oatmeal — a bit too much so. The hubs had the Rooibos Vanilla Chai which he loved.
We also opted for 4 samosas to spilt for $ 5 — they were vegetarian (we prefer meat) but none the less delicious.
I noticed after sitting down there were options to save money like 4 samosas and 2 chai for about $ 4 less than what we paid and I do think that it would have been nice if they had mentioned the combo options.
The placed was jam packed with people standing/​waiting for tables on a Tuesday at 5pm.
The atmosphere was colourful, bright, and pleasant. the patrons all seemed to be having a good time and engaged in merry chitter chatter.
I didn’t see what the hours are on the weekend but the sign said open until midnight on the day we were there (Tuesday) which his pretty awesome possum as an alternative to a Timmy’s.
The array of desserts — normal, vegan, gluten free etc. looked delicious. There was a rum egg nog cake that was definitely call my name. If I lived closer or worked in this area I’m sure this would be a regular haunt.
Two thumbs up Remedy 124 street.
PS — They have free WiFi

I think this is probably the largest out of the chain of cafes.
I’m not going to lie, it’s rather difficult to find parking in this area.
This location is more open and spacious. The chai and lattes here are just as good as the other locations. I like that the owner chooses all of the spices that go into the Chai himself and then has them imported. Remedy is my favourite Chai in the city!
I appreciate that they have several different types of «milk» to choose from. My only disappointment is that they don’t keep lactaid in stock. Almond it is then!
You also have an extensive choice of the type of sweetener to use in your beverage. Cane sugar, coconut sugar, etc. Sweet!
The baked goods are really great and a lot of them are vegan.
If you aren’t into Chai or coffee, they have a selection of cold beverages, a number of them are organic and tasty. One of the only places where I have seen my favourite hibiscus drinks.
I haven’t had a chance to have the food at this particular location, but if it is anything like the one downtown, it is pretty amazing!

I absolutely LOVE this place for everything. I am half Indian so you know I love curry. What better than CURRY, ALCOHOL, and COFFEE? Nothing.
This is the perfect place to study on a Sunday. You can have the free wifi and Sunday Beers with your buddies and just camp out here with your laptop. I don’t usually study in cafes but when I do it’s this one — and usually the 124^th location. I find this location to be a lot more open and the bathrooms are cleaner. The people working here are usually pretty helpful. I like to drink beer but I never know what to have, and they usually give pretty good recommendations.
This place is also great for local events. They have lots of posters you can look at to get an idea of what to do in the city. In fact, 124^th as a whole is great for local cafes and places to go. It’s a really nice area of the downtown with a lot of life. Whoever says that Edmonton has no culture needs to come here. There is always something to do.

I don’t know what it is about this location. I’ve been coming here frequently since last year and weird, crazy, little things have happened here. Since my last review I’ve had the south door not properly open and closing abruptly only to scrape my foot (could of been a cut, thankfully I have my tetanus shot) and someone completely forgetting to deliver my order.
It’s also the little things like a sign on the girls washroom door that states it may not properly work and it has been there forever! Or starting a new line on your frequency ticket rather than continuing on one that is close to a free drink.
Also I wouldn’t get the iced chai. It seems like all it is is mix and milk. You can buy taro mix at Costco for 10 $ rather than the 5 $+ it would cost you here.
I know these are small things, but they are easily fixed and are annoying when they go awry. Particularly since they do not seem to happen on my visits to the other locations. Maybe I’m cursed?
I love remedy! Just maybe go to the Jasper ave location instead of this one.

The 124 Street location is hands down my favourite location of Remedy Café. This location has a lot of seating, is bright and cheerful inside, and has the same great drinks and food that you’re used to with this Edmonton brand.
Anything you could possibly want to drink, they have it. I still love the coconut fogs for a tropical blast of warm comfort. If I liked coffee, I would definitely try the pour over just to experience it. They also have lots of water options, including bottled carbonated, so I always seem to grab a bottle to go along with my fog.
They have a ton of food options but I always stick to butter chicken with naan as it is fantastic. If you’re feeling sweet, they have a huge display case that is full of decadent options including a large selection of vegan and gluten free options. Everything is well labeled and you’re sure to find something that appeals to your mood and sweet tooth!
Overall, I find this café to be a great place to relax by yourself or to meet a friend to chat. It’s not too loud, it’s bright, centrally located, there’s lots of street parking available, you have a lot of food and drink options and the staff are super friendly as well!

I am beyond thrilled Remedy opened up shop on 124 Street!
I have frequented the 109 St and Jasper avenue locations over the years, but this one I am able to walk to, even on those –30 days! (Hey, when you need chai, you NEED chai.)
The food and drink has the same great flavour as the other locations but IMO this location is head and shoulders above for the following reasons:
— Ample seating. Think upscale cafeteria style: rows of tables and chairs means never having to wait for a seat.
— Outdoor seating area. It’s so nice to be outside enjoying 124^st in the summer time — their outdoor seating area is nice and spacious
— Clean. The space is clean and FEELS clean, and open. The lighting is tasteful and natural light fills tge space as well. The bathrooms are tastefully appointed.
— Easy to read menu (no scrolling menus as seen in other locations!)
My fave items to order:
–Any Chai. Love the Kashmir Chai topped with pistachio & rose petals!
–Palak chicken wrap & Chili Chicken wrap. Eat half for lunch, save the rest for dinner!
–Samosas — so tasty and perfect for a light lunch! (Check out the Chai/​samosa combos!)
They also have delicious vegan options if you are ao inclined!
Love you Remedy!

While I don’t typically order food here, I absolutely love the various coffee drinks here. My go-​to would typically be the white mocha but I haven’t had a drink that I have disliked yet.
Service at this location is fantastic. The staff are friendly, keep things moving at a quick pace and generally seem to recognize their regulars.
Additional bonus to this location for their hours. Sometimes you just want a coffee later in the evening when other places have closed. They are open until midnight every night (although if you’re looking for food I believe their kitchen closes at 11).
Parking in the area can be tough to find but that’s not unexpected for 124 St. You might have to walk and extra minute or two but it is well worth it!
