Crum Coffee Bar
Edmonton, AB
Creative gluten free treats with lower sugar content, perfect for those of us who prefer our baking on the less sweet side. My go to is the Pumpkin Turmeric Spice Muffin made with molasses to give the moisture that gluten free baking often lacks. Many of their treats are vegan also which means a tasty coconut flavour added as the oil, but does affect the icing flavour (no dairy means it is not as creamy). If you are adapted to vegan baking, the icing is excellent!
They also have a full espresso bar, but probably most famous for their Cafe Fredo, which is essentially a bougie iced cap. There is no drip coffee in the afternoons so be ready for an americano at that time of day if that’s your go to.
I tried the Vanilla Nitro coffee for the first time today, which might be my new favourite! In keeping with the low sugar theme, it provides delicious flavour without the sweetness overhaul. It rivals my favourite S***bucks drink, which is a salted caramel cold brew no syrup.
Of note, this is a small, female-owned local business you will feel good about supporting. They were one of the only places to adopt clear masks during the pandemic to help those with hearing difficulties. Huge shoutout for making their communication more accessible!
Overall, definitely a place for celiacs to make their way out to while in Edmonton, and a tasty coffee shop for celiacs & gluten eaters alike.
