Reviews for Ayco Café in Edmonton, AB
(Response to owners response - even 4 stale donuts isn\'t worth $6. I\'m aware you don\'t get to choose what we get in our Too... Good to Go box, and certainly don\'t expect freshly baked items (as mentioned in my review). Even if I were to go to your cafeand order a freshly baked glazed donut or long john for $3.50 or $3.75, that is way overpriced for those items and would bedisappointed. Feel free to email me if you have further comments.)\n\nMy review is based on the customer service and ambiance ofthis location because if I only rated it on the baking I received, it would be a one star.\n\nI ordered a \"Too Good To Go Box\"which is a mystery item box for $6. You don\'t know what you\'re going to get, it\'s usually baked items that are end of daygoods. The box was $6.\n\nI wasn\'t expecting freshly baked items, but I had looked at their menu to see what kinds of thingsthey bake and their menu is impressive!\n\nI picked up our box on a Saturday morning, and the ambiance was very cute andwelcoming. The customer service was great as well. That\'s why it\'s 3 stars.\n\nI opened up our box and it was 3 plain glazeddonuts and 1 long john. Normal price for each item was $3.50 and $3.75. None of the donuts were very good, very boring and if Ihad paid full price, I would have been mad. Even for $6, that\'s way too expensive for four plain donuts.\n\nBased on thisexperience, I definitely wouldn\'t order another mystery box from them, and if I went to their location, I would stick to abeverage.

A clean and pleasant cafe in EDMs core. Only had a donut but loved it. My wife had a danish and thought it was similarly... delicious. Will definitely be back for more!\n\nEdit: Came back for more. I had a donut again (same one as last time), but thistime, it wasn\'t particularly fresh tasting, and it had sort of a weird aftertaste. Not sure what happened.\n\nEdit 2: I\'vecome back for even more - have to bump it right back up to 5 stars, everything is just so tasty. The scones, the donuts, thedanish, etc. My other experience must have been a one-off! Staff is also really friendly here. Read more
Super delicious cappuccino and sweet/savoury pastries! Love the ambiance and decor. Even the surly (French?) person taking our... order added to the charm of this place. The worst part was having to choose what to eat as the pastry case was absolutelyglistening with beautiful creations. Will definitely be back! Read more
I was ready to take off some stars because the drink menu is simple and unexciting BUT the flavors are 10/10 and the pastries... are so delicious, unique, and obviously made in house! Definitely recommend checking this place out. Plus their white room isInstagram worthy for sure! Read more
What a delight Ayco is.\n\nFirst off, they\'re in tough with two other well established Edmonton coffee houses in the same... block. However, Ayco has its own special place with an assortment of amazing baked goods in exquisite doughnuts, croissants andcruffins.\n\nThe place is immaculately clean and boasts a European flair when you enter. A piano along the wall. Some furnitureappearing to be some form of modern blow up transparent adornments.\n\nThe coffee is spectacular and the treats are amazing. Ijust wonder why there is still no signage on the building to let us know they exist. I hope Ayco can thrive alongside CoffeeBureau and Lock Stock in the same neighborhood. I can\'t see why not as each of the three appeals to entirely differentneeds...but all centered around great Java.\n\nFive stars! Read more
Pretty amazing Cruffin (Croissant & Muffin, with a vanilla custard filling). Great taste, very flaky and would get... again.\n\nEverything inside the place is so meticulous done, from the decor, to the statement wall piece, to the seating to eventhe bathrooms! Great job on the decor, very clean and friendly staff. Truly a gem in downtown! Read more
Great cafe and bakery options. They even have vegan options for donuts. Tried both vegan and non-vegan donuts and they are... delicious. Can\'t wait to go back and try their other pastries. They also open at 7am which is nice for us early risers. Alsogreat atmosphere and friendly owners. Read more
I had a superfantastic capuccino served with a little chocolate beside, and bagel egg and bacon, it was sooo delicious... that I... forgot to take a picture of it, my husband had a smoked salmon sandwich and a pistacho cruffin. It was busy early on a Saturdaymorning. Reasonable prices, desserts, sandwiches, coffee (including espresso drinks). We also ordered a box of caprese paninothey were delicious, fresh tomato with homemade arugola pesto and fresh bocconcini.\nWe will definitely be back to try all thegoods. A cozy gem in Downtown!
