This unique Edmonton cafe is closing its doors after almost six years

The Ark Cafe in Edmonton just announced its closure this past weekend after its owners made the decision to sell the establishment.

This Edmonton cafe was known for its 2-D interior design that makes it look like you’ve just stepped straight into a storybook painting. It took over the northside almost six years ago and, after a good run in the city, the team behind the unique cafe announced they would be selling it.

Saturday, Aug. 15 was officially the last day of the cafe as we know it.
