You can find a vintage-inspired photo booth inside this brand-new Edmonton cafe
There’s a cozy new cafe that’s just been introduced to Edmonton’s Old Strathcona neighbourhood.
Edmonton has its own Filipino-run daytime cafe and nighttime lounge named Gathr., which has just opened on Whyte Avenue. It offers traditional coffee and teas throughout the day and serves non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails at night, all with intimate, elegant seating.
The real treat? Right inside the cafe is a cute vintage-inspired photobooth, available for use anytime you please.

As for some of the drinks it serves, there are loads of options. Whether it’s a matcha latte, an ube latte, or, if you’re feeling crazy, a matcha ube latte, it’s all delicious. The cafe also just dropped a new drink, Iced Strawberry Matcha (which has quickly grown in popularity within Edmonton).
One of the most popular drinks at its grand opening included The Simeona’s Sunset. This is named after the owner’s grandmother, Lola Onang, and honours her memory. The mocktail itself is described as a “sophisticated balance of bitter orange and nostalgic grapefruit” for “a drink with character just like her.”
Aside from drinks, it also serves up both sweet and savoury pastries to pair with your beverage or to enjoy on their own.
In terms of hours, this spot is open every day except on Sunday. Monday to Wednesday, it’s open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Thursday to Saturday, it’s open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.
If you’re looking for a new spot to chill with friends, this could definitely be it. Not to mention, it’s the perfect spot for a first date, with the photo booth to commemorate the good memories.
Gathr. is already making a name for itself, starting off strong with its grand opening in the community. We can’t wait to see what it brings next.
