This plant-based cafe in Edmonton is closing its doors after nine years
With the new year comes some unfortunate news from one of Edmonton’s plant-based restaurants.
The Moth Cafe just announced that it will be closing its doors later this year after nine years of business. This cafe has been a staple on Jasper Avenue, especially within the vegan community, for serving top-tier plant-based dishes.

“Our planned closing date is the end of November 2026,” reads The Moth Cafe team on Instagram. “It’s also possible that we may need to close sooner should our roof become more compromised or if our 30+ year old rooftop heater stops working. When we know more, we promise to share updates openly and with care.”
As Edmonton begins to revitalize this corner of Jasper Avenue and the part of the city, The Moth Cafe stands to not be part of that revitalization.
“This has not been sudden news for us, but something we’ve carried quietly for many years, a weight we learned to hold while continuing to show up each day,” says the team.
The closure was not a surprise, but the restaurant has been able to stay strong until now because of the vibrant community supporting it. For its final year, the team enters 2026 with “gratitude and presence.”
In the coming months, the restaurant will be creating a memory wall within the space: a place where you can share notes, stories, drawings, favourite orders, and reflections on what The Moth Cafe means to you.
In addition to the memory wall, there will be special promotions happening throughout the year. The Moth Cafe has not yet announced what the promotions will be.
“Thank you for flying with us ā for a moment, for a season, or for all 10 years.”
