Da Capo Via Bianca - Edmonton

I wasn't sure what to expect when I randomly decided to visit this restaurant today. With some time to spare, I felt like having a beer. I opted to sit on the patio as I enjoy outdoor dining.

I have to admit, Baxter's is decent for the type of restaurant it is.

Wings Wednesday is a great midweek indulgence. It's the perfect day to splurge on your diet and enjoy some comforting food.

This small sliver of a coffee shop appears to be attached to a restaurant and an organic food market (Blush Lane) although each is separate. This nice air conditioned space was inviting after putting up with the crowds and high temperatures outside on the Avenue. Simple fare - coffees, teas, sweet and savoury pastries and gelato. I had iced coffee and a spinach pastry, both which hit the spot. Prices are reasonable.

I'm a hard marker when it comes to coffee. DaCapo is consistently very good, occasionally excellent. Service is friendly. Fit out is sleek and white (hooray!). And, if you are after something substantial to eat, you can order food from next door (Under the High Wheel). Gelato is ridiculously tempting (and excellent, if you do succumb to temptation).
