Rhubarb Cafe & Cocktails, a Manchester Square spot known for its drink and dessert flights in Edmonton, has permanently closed.<\/p>\n
The cafe announced the closure on Instagram Friday morning, saying it was a \u201chard decision\u201d after years of trying to make the dream work.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are heartbroken to have had to make the hard decision after 5 years of trying to make this dream come true in Manchester Square,\u201d the cafe wrote in the post.<\/p>\n
Rhubarb Cafe opened its doors in 2022 and was well-known for its creative drinks and dessert flights, including seasonal selections like pie flights, pastry-inspired cocktails and espresso martini flights.<\/p>\n
It had an inviting atmosphere, frequently hosting community events and gatherings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are so incredibly thankful for all the amazing customers who have become friends, memories that have been shared and MANY coffees poured.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manchester Square has seen a few food and drink spots rotate through its Dutch architecture-inspired shopping centre in the last couple of years. Ashford House, an Irish pub, shut its doors in Manchester Square<\/a> in February 2025 after just two years of operation.<\/p>\n New restaurants have also popped up, including Mayte,<\/a> which opened its doors in February, and in May 2025, Juana In\u00e9s<\/a> began serving up traditional Mexican fare.<\/p>\n As for those espresso martini flights, we\u2019ll certainly miss them, that\u2019s for sure!<\/p>\n Address:\u00a012020 107th Ave. NW<\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n Still hungry?
