We live in Blackfalds and visited Ona's while we were in Lacombe for the farmers market. I asked the lovely lady who took our order if they could make a leaf or a heart on my husband's latte as a surprise for him and she excitedly told me that she could make a teddy bear for him. It was perfect and his smile was from ear to ear when he saw it. What a thoughtful touch! He loved the taste of the latte as well. I ordered an iced half sweet matcha and it was one of the best that I have ever had. Amazing! We ordered the BLT sandwich to share and it was absolutely delicious! The lemon aioli added just the right amount of complimentary flavour without being too much. We also loved the potato chips and pickle that were added to each of our plates. The cafe is clean, beautifully decorated, and full of wonderful products to take home and enjoy. I purchased some extra spicy pepper cheese that is exceptionally delicious! We will definitely be back again and can't wait to try other items...

Go all the way. Own that you’re the best and adjust the flow rate on the incoming pipe, fix the bathroom lock, make the guest experience flawless from...
Read moreA really nice little quant coffee and bake shop. Didn’t know how to make a Spanish Latte 😢 anyway settled for a vanilla latte and London fog. An interesting cookie 🍪 dough cupcake! 🧁 what was surprising for a bake shop was the lack of selection on display. Literally only 3 things on display and all the display stands and cases were empty. Decor is great with nice patio area. No real vibe with music or anything. But seating adequate and nice. Not enough plug points for hanging out and plugging in a laptop so had to move to a high top counter when battery 🪫 starting dying. But just at that point we were told not to get comfortable as they were closing around 4pm. Which seemed a little early. Otherwise a nice little coffee...
