Sweet Treats and Latte Festival

WARM UP YOUR WINTER IN OLD STRATHCONA

Beginning Saturday, February 13, 2021, Edmontonians can enjoy feature treats and lattes at 13 coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Purchases all cost around $5. As part of a collaboration between the Old Strathcona Business Association (OSBA) and PARK, the coffee and treats will come with a limited-edition illustrated coffee sleeve or sticker celebrating winter city coffee breaks. Curio Studio designed all the art here in the heart of Old Strathcona.

Not only is Sweet Treats a winter-friendly event, it’s been designed with public health restrictions in mind. This is a perfect grab-and-go treat, allowing folks to try new restaurants or support their favourites, while talking a walk on Whyte Avenue. We’ve still got our winter lights up in McIntyre Park and Ice on Whyte begins this weekend too, so there’s lots to see while staying COVID-safe.

Oh, and did we mention that you could win gift cards at all of the participating coffee shops and bakeries? Yeah, you can!

And we want to know which latte and sweet treat are your absolute favourite. We’ll be awarding gift cards to the winning businesses to two voters – even more reason to eat and sip local this winter. (voting will open February 13)
