Description

Specialties

Serious dedication to the art of coffee. We spend way too much time trying to make this beverage absolutely perfect for you.

We offer fascinating light fare. Come and try our balsamic-​glazed beets, carrots and zucchini wrap with hummus, cumin-​coated chickpeas, spinach and red onion. Or our chicken, goats cheese, roasted red pepper with spinach all tucked up in a Black Russian Honey Baguette.

Live music every Thursday. Brunch every weekend.

History

Established in 2007.

After travelling the world for a year, including getting engaged on Easter Island, my wife and I got married in Jasper in August 2007 and took over the lease at 9 Sioux Road in October 2007. Previously called Cappuccino Affair, Jack Beans Stop and then Jemz Meeting Place, we were the fourth owners to attempt to make the coffee shop concept work.

We stripped the entire space of its décor and made it what it was today. Except there was no deck and the kitchen was half the size. So that got upgraded in 2009.

Followed by our beautiful boy, Matheo, in October 2009. But things got tough: after the renovations, becoming a family, a recession and no wife to run the kitchen we almost went under.

But 2010, was a golden year and everything seemed to fit into place.

We’ve learnt so much and shed so much blood, sweat and tears.

Welcome to Café Haven.

Café Haven is hands down my favourite café in Sherwood park. It’s cozy and intimate with friendly service, delicious food both meals and snacks and phenomenal coffee and lattes (both cold and hot). Great place all around!

This is normally a favourite place to come for a latte or their amazing eggs Benedict. However today my London fog comes with an old lipstick stain. I immediately notice it and point it out to the waitress and she’s like oh and takes it back. Is that the new form of sorry? And another waitress comes back with another London fog and sets it down and walks away. Still waiting for that apology…
Like I said, the food here is always amazing but how can one enjoy it after bad service?

Think Global, Act Local seems to be the motto of this hip cozy café! Be it their locally sourced theme, transcend coffees, artwork from local artists, Music nights on Thursdays… This place has all the elements of what your friendly neighborhood coffee shop should be all about!
Loved the ambience and service. Came here with a friend just before lunchtime and we were warmly greeted. Our order — latte, breakfast wrap and espresso was brought out to us. It was refreshing to see clean eating options — honey, raw sugar, cucumber infused water to mention a few. They are much appreciated! I love the artwork, the lil ‘vault’ room in the back.
Loved the latte, had to knock off one star because the espresso wasn’t really my cup of tea ;) It was a bit too bitter for my taste but I will be back to try out more of their brews. They have transcend coffees for sale too.
I was excited to see the music nights in the local newspaper! Shout out to Lyndsey Burnett for making this café a lil haven, truly a gem in the neighborhood!

I used to work at a coffee shop here, many moons ago before it was Café Haven. I hadn’t been back in several years as I don’t live in Sherwood Park anymore but was in the area and curious enough to stop by. It’s a very nice, cozy set up, fun décor with lots of art and vintage looking furniture. I only had a coffee which was pretty decent. The service was really fast and very friendly. The server even said good bye as I was leaving which was rather nice. I’m not sure that I will make a special trip to come all the way back, but if I happen to be in the neighbourhood again, I will stop in again.

Trendy little spot…
Finally got an opportunity to scratch this place off my list.
Stopped in with my kids for brunch on Sunday.
Not too shabby.
Kids had bagels and I had to give the Eggs Benedict a shot. Decided on the salmon incarnation.
Flavor was great… but something in the dish seemed to chill the entie thing down. Perhaps this was by design. I am not entirely sure. Chilled salmon on warm english muffin with cooked eggs? Regardless I wasn’t expecting it and gave the whole thing a feeling of egg/​sushi-​fusion. The accompanying hash browns were tastey.
We also indulged in a brownie and a huge chunk of my personal kryptonite. beanut butter-​marshmallow square. Both were indeed good.
All in all… not bad. Not amazing.
The hipster feeling and missmatch of furniture including couches and armchairs is allright I suppose.
All told, my main, 2 bagels, a coffee, a hot chocolate and the 2 desserts came to ~$ 45. A little pricey, but not terrible.
I may just be back if my schedule and theirs align again. If only for a «healthy» dose of kryptonite…

I’ve been here a few times now while waiting for laundry and the laundromat. Perfect place to relax for a bit and enjoy a coffee or tea. The staff is welcoming and friendly. There seems to be always a few customers around but not over crowded. The smell is amazing, they make a lot of their own food here. Any café you can add baileys too is a winner to me!

Came here today for coffee with a friend and ordered the spinach and artichoke dip it was quite delicious. Coffee was super tasty! I ordered the iced mochaccino and my friend had the iced capuccino which she too said was very nice. I love the atmosphere here and that the staff were so polite. The menu had so many great choices it made hard to choose with how many tasty options you can get so take your time to read through the items and arrive early to get them while they are available. Will return soon!

I am never setting foot in that place again. They were extremely rude to me.
I pointed out that they had a stand filled with a local propaganda photocopied paper that is filled with lies and insults. They did not care. They said they never read it so it does not bother them. I asked if they had a paper filled with racism, would they display it. They said they did not care since they do not read it!
Honestly, a local restaurant that does not care about displaying someone’s personal vendetta & who prints lies about its residents in their establishment, and who then speaks down to a customer who brings it up to their attention, does not deserve my patronage.
I believe this reflects on management and staff. This is not about freedom of speech, it is about lies. People have a right to their opinions but not when they print them as fact with the intent of harming people’s reputation. A restaurant that could not care less, is harmful to the community it is in.

Great coffee house with a very eclectic look and feel to it. They serve Transcend coffee and make a great Americano. Usually here a few times a month and I hear the weekend brunch is excellent.

The London fog has orange shavings!
Super cute café with amazing food.
Everyone that works here is super friendly. In this day and age when ustomer service is on a rapid decline, it’s nice to get a genuine smile and hear «thank you».

When I walked in the door, it felt like I was visiting an old friend. The décor has not changed much over the years, but the product and service seems to have changed a little. After reading through the other reviews, I now see that it has changed ownership, so that would explain it.
I was craving a Nanaimo bar, but was sad when they didn’t have any. I opted instead for a vanilla latte, and one of those multi colour marshmallow/​butterscotch/​peanut butter square things, that I’ve never actually known the name of.
When the barista was handing me my latte, he quickly pulled it back and explained that he forgot the vanilla, and fixed that mistake. I was happy that he didn’t let me walk out the door with the erroneous drink.
The latte was tasty, but a little too bitter for my taste buds. The square was delicious though. Soft and sweet, as it should be.
They had a really nice looking display of sandwiches and salads, although it was after lunch, so it was kind of slim pickins.

Great place for a cup of joe. Or better yet, a café latte. The staff are awesome and friendly. Been a couple times to hear some local love music — very cool that they support things like that. Fun décor, art hanging on the walls is usually for sale !
Enjoyed my cinnamon bun and latte last week ! I’ll be back soon.

Was in Sherwood Park on business today and a colleague asked what I was in the mood for. I said «healthy» and we ended up at Café Haven! Wow it was so good! I had the Chicken Waldorf Wrap and it was really good — they had a nice variety of sandwiches, salads, wraps and soups. After reading some of the reviews I’m bummed I didn’t get a cinnamon bun
The ambience is nice and cozy and I’m told that breakfasts there are to die for so next time I better go earlier!

Very cute place! Have had great service most of the time, some times when it is very busy the girls get a little flustered and short with you!
Food is amazing and as far as I know all made in house! Have not had a bad meal ever! I am not a coffee drinker but have tried some of their specialty teas and have to say their Earl Grey Tea Latte is as beautiful as it is fantastic!
Only two down falls to this place are the sucky hours it is open and the poor amount of parking! I can name 100 times off hand I have had to just drive by due to it being closed or no parking.
Definitely give this little JEM a try!!!

Café Haven is one of Sherwood Parks only independent coffee places — other than Common Grounds Café.
It was started by a young husband and wife who eventually sold it to a business owner from Edmonton.
I’m afraid it just isn’t quite the same under new ownership. Although it still has some
Funky furniture, mismatched dishes and an interesting menu, some of the attention to detail and the spirit of the business has been lost.
My order was taken by a slightly uninterested teen who told me the flavours of their smoothies was «fruity stuff kinda». my grilled sandwich showed up with cold in the centre and my fruity kinda smoothie was forgotten and made once my sandwich was at my table.
Whereas once the food and business were watched over by a diligent and passionate owner, it now seems to be running on auto pilot.
Although my latest experience was not great, I’m giving it three stars because it is still one of the more original places to visit and when they are on their game, it is awesome.

I like the rustic gathered décor. It has a very unique artistic feel to the café. If you like the artwork on the wall, you can buy it and support a local artist. i love the concept of locally owned.
The coffee I would say is alright, but I will still stop buy to support this business. I always get a muffin along with my coffee. The muffins here are homemade fabulous!!!
I’ve also learned that there breakfast items are amazing. mmm cinnamon buns and waffles! Oh so yummy!
What I’ve also noticed is the girls that work here are dressed very trendy and I and i love the way they look. Friendly and adorable staff that always smile and deliver great service!
It’s a unique and friendly café in Sherwood Park that I always choose to go to when I’m meeting my friend that lives in this area and on my way to work in the morning.
Locally awesomeness!
