Piazza Café on 124 Street in Edmonton offers more than your average dining outing—it blends a cozy café atmosphere with the warmth of a full-service restaurant focused on Ethiopian-inspired cuisine. The space feels calm and welcoming, decorated with plenty of plants and floral touches, which creates a relaxed environment perfect for a quiet morning coffee or a casual lunch.

Visitors often start with their well-regarded lattes, made from Ethiopian coffee beans, known for their smooth microfoam and rich aroma—a highlight for coffee lovers in the neighborhood. The café also features a dedicated Ethiopian coffee ceremony area, adding a cultural layer that makes a standard coffee run feel more immersive.

On the food side, the menu leans into hearty and flavorful Ethiopian tibs dishes like Beef Tibs, ChaCha Tibs, and Kitfo, as well as thoughtful breakfast options such as the Good Morning Breakfast Sandwich and Kicha Fit Fit. Many find the sandwiches great for sharing, which fits well with the friendly, down-to-earth vibe of the place. The availability of house-made hot sauce adds a punch if you like a bit of spice.

Piazza Café suits a range of visitors—from locals grabbing a morning coffee and smoothie to those looking for a relaxed spot where they can linger over wine and a slice of red velvet cake in the afternoon or early evening. The staff's approachable and knowledgeable nature encourages stopping by not just for the food, but for a chat and a sense of community. Weekday mornings and early afternoons seem ideal to experience the café’s peaceful atmosphere without the bustle.

Was excited to try this new restaurant as I’d watched the transformation as I drove by each week from a class. We LOVED it! We got a very warm welcome greeting from the owner and felt right at home immediately. We were just going to have coffee the first time to check it out, but we had a great conversation with the owner and the menu looked so intriguing, we decided to order 2 sandwiches to share along with our delicious coffee beverages (latte and americano, both excellent). The Tibs (completely new to me!) sandwich was warm and savoury—delicious! The Capreses sandwich was bright and fresh and equally delicious! The decor is fun with cosy seating. There is a coffee ritual which takes place on the lower level (visible from the main floor) that I’m excited to learn more about on a future visit, along with working my way through all of the other tempting menu items. We’ll both DEFINITELY be back! Great value and high quality.

I have found my favorite cup of Latte in Edmonton at Piazza! The smoothness of the velvety microfoam, the aroma and taste of their Ethiopian coffee beans was a pleasure to the senses. The folks here were really friendly and knowledgeable. In general, amazing local cafe shop on 124 st. Fast service, food was absolute delish, with an option for everyone) and their latte was perfect! Just the way I like it. I'll be back! Highly recommended!

Lovely little restaurant café. We got the mango smoothie and the Good Morning BF sandwich. It was so yummy and fresh. The lady there was very friendly and also brought us extra house made hot sauce. It was so flavourful and actually quite spicy . I was very impressed with the atmosphere of the café. It is very calming and relaxing, and nicely decorated with plants and floral decor. A nice quiet little spot with good music. Location is great, and lots of parking in the parking lot.

Love this restaurant!!! The café is so clean and cute. The food and the vibes are so good. I had a latte and dessert and went back a second time to try their Eritrean/Ethiopian dishes. Everything is made with care and very tasty. The service is also great . Can’t wait to back again. I recommend you try the ChaCha Tibs, Kitfo or Kornis for dinner options and the fitfit or breakfast sandwhich for breakfast options. The Coffee is a must every time!!

This place is great! Super accepting and amazing. I’ve seen a few people on here saying they felt left out. How about adapting to the culture and life? Don’t listen to them, it’s a homey place with lots of stories to tell! (Not to mention the food is amazing!)
