Welcome to the Carrot
There is coming a day when a single carrot freshly observed will set off a revolution.”
~ Paul Cézanne; French post-impressionist painter
We are a Community Arts Coffeehouse sprouting up from the fertile ground of the Alberta Avenue arts revolution. You can find us at 9351-118 ave in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We’re open most of the time, but you can get detailed hours here. Every Friday and Saturday night we feature live art – be it music, poetry, drama, comedy – whatever. We even offer an open stage Saturday nights. You can view the full lineup here. During the week, you may also find artists busy at their craft while you sip your excellent espresso.What we are really all about is Community and Art. Come in and see for yourself. We guarantee the freshest Carrot around.
In addition to great espresso drinks and teas, we offer snacks, breakfast and lunch items to munch on.
