When I went by last week, Sunterra at Commerce Place was quite busy. That said, they still need to bring back the same exterior seating before COVID, and it's high time they got rid of that unused juice bar.

The cafe and salad bar alone are probably enough to keep them afloat, with how busy they appear to be. I wonder if the Commerce Place location is an outlier?

The southside location was quite busy when I was there a few weeks back. As for downtown. with GoA staff working more in the office that will help the bottom line. Commerce place had a lot of Government offices.

It may not help everything there, but it will help a number of places in Commerce Place, especially the already busy coffee places.
 

How a neighbourhood restaurant in Edmonton is defying all odds​

Northlands Coliseum, the former home of the Edmonton Oilers, is slated for demolition this summer after opening in 1974. Just a short walk west is Coliseum Steak & Pizza, which is celebrating 50 years in business — outlasting its namesake. The CBC’s Sean Newton visited the neighbourhood institution to find out what's behind the restaurant’s success.
 
A very solid smoked meat sandy at the Patricia St. Deli; I was amazed at the size and space in there.

I went back to The Druid for dinner. The place was reasonably busy because of the Super Bowl, which I found to be devoid of interest. This time I had the Irish Beef Stew along with a pint of Guinness - highly recommended!
 
Ventured out to Edgemont and Aria Cafe just off Lessard road. Very much worth the trek. French style cafe. Great pastries, But I also noticed they do a dinner service as well.

My wife and I would head out on a day we had nothing planned and ho to a brewery but now it seems we are hitting up new cafes.
