Where is Kahwa Raw Cafe in Edmonton?

Kahwa Raw Cafe is at 180 Mistatim Road NW, Edmonton, Alberta T6V 0M8, in the north of the city. The phone number on its Google Maps listing is +1 587-401-3212, and the exact location is on the hours and location page of this guide.

The cafe has one location found in any source. Parking, reservations and accepted payment methods are not stated in the sources behind this guide, so call ahead if any of them matter for your visit.

What are the opening hours?

Google Maps shows 8 AM to 11 PM from Sunday to Thursday and 8 AM to midnight on Friday and Saturday. Other listings differ, so treat the hours as a starting point and call before a late visit.

The differences are most likely a mix of changes since opening and different days being read, but no source explains them. The cafe’s own phone line is the dependable check.

What kind of cafe is Kahwa Raw Cafe?

Kahwa Raw Cafe is a late-night cafe and pastry house with Middle Eastern influences, per Daily Hive’s coverage of its soft opening in November 2025. The word kahwa is a spelling of the Arabic word for coffee, and the menu mixes familiar espresso drinks with Middle Eastern sweets and tea.

Daily Hive says the cafe has two floors, with an upper level overlooking the main room. The same article names karak tea as the signature drink and says lattes, smoothies, cookies and pastries are made in house. A February 2026 Edmonton food roundup also lists the cafe among the newer cultural cafes that grew in the city over the past year.

What should you order on a first visit?

A first visit works well with one drink from the cafe’s signature side and one pastry. Karak and the Spanish Latte are the two drinks this guide would start with, followed by baklava or um ali for something sweet.

All prices below come from the Uber Eats menu, read 14 November 2026. In-cafe prices were not checked and may differ.

The listing marks the Iced Bliss Matcha and the 4 Cheese Bagel as popular, which makes them useful second orders. The full list is on the menu page of this guide, with the same price caveat.

What is karak tea?

Karak is a strong, creamy milk tea, and Daily Hive names it the cafe’s signature drink. The Uber Eats listing describes a Karak Cup as bold, creamy karak milk tea, priced at $6.00. A separate Karak listing carries no fixed price because the cost depends on add-ons.

Karak is traditionally black tea boiled with milk, sugar and spices such as cardamom. It is a staple in the Gulf and has South Asian roots. A longer explainer is in the tea section of this guide.

What else is on the menu besides sweets?

The Uber Eats menu includes more than desserts. Croissants include plain, almond, pistachio, chocolate, turkey and za’atar versions, and the bagels listed are Everything and 4 Cheese.

The sandwich list shows Roast Beef at $9.50, Sourdough Beef Sandwich at $9.50 and Turkey with Veggies and Cheddar at $8.50. Two sandwiches with unstated fillings are not covered in this guide. Cold drinks include iced lattes, iced matcha, cold brew, smoothies and milkshakes, and bottled water is listed for take-away.

The cafe also lists coffee beans at $22.00 and Matcha To Go at $7.50 under grab and go. The weight of the beans and the roast are not stated on Uber Eats.

How do you order from Kahwa Raw Cafe?

You can walk in, phone the cafe, or use its Uber Eats listing, which offers pickup and delivery. This guide is independent and cannot take orders or bookings for the cafe.

Uber Eats showed a $4.99 delivery fee when read, and delivery showed as unavailable at that moment. The cafe’s Instagram account is @kahwa.raw.cafe, though the account itself was not opened for this guide, so the handle comes from Daily Hive.

Is Kahwa Cafe in Montreal the same business?

No. A business called Kahwa Cafe operates in Montreal, and no source found for this guide links it to Kahwa Raw Cafe in Edmonton. The two names are close, so a search for kahwa cafe can return both.

To be sure you have the Edmonton cafe, check for the Mistatim Road NW address and the +1 587-401-3212 phone number.

How well is Kahwa Raw Cafe rated?

Google Maps showed 4.6 out of 5 from 571 reviews on 14 November 2026. Ratings change over time, so look at the current number and recent comments before a visit.

This guide does not copy or quote reviews. If you want an opinion on a particular drink, the listing’s recent reviews are the place to look, and the cafe’s staff can explain what is in a drink.

What should you check before visiting late at night?

Check the hours by phone, because three sources gave three different closing times. Google Maps, Uber Eats and Daily Hive disagree, and the cafe’s late-night concept is the reason many people go.

A short checklist helps:

1. Call +1 587-401-3212 to confirm closing time for the day.
2. Look at the Uber Eats listing to see whether items are currently available.
3. Ask staff about ingredients if you have allergies, since the menu lists descriptions only for some items.

Daily Hive’s coverage and this guide’s own checks are both snapshots, so a quick call is worth more than any listing.
