The Lui-Chi’s Experience

An old world experience, wood, leather and brass, bowler hats and plaid. We have a unique cafe experience, bringing the whole craft of coffee back to its hands on ways.

Before we even opened, Lui-Chi’s Coffee won the Metro Community Choice 2018 Awards in 2 different categories, in Best Cafe/Bistro and Best Food Truck in Edmonton.

Our Story

Lui-Chi’s

Started out as a little Espresso truck on Jasper Ave Edmonton. Then moved to the DT core of Edmonton in the summer of 2018. After just a year on the Edmonton streets, Lui-Chi’s added its first brick and mortar location in the Phipps McKinnon building on Rice Howard Way! We plan on opening our first location in Calgary summer of 2019!

Owner/Operator

I Have been in the coffee business for over 15 years and have a passion for old world coffee roasting and crafting. After working many years in the corporate arena I decided it was time to do what I love! In the summer of 2017 I built Edmonton’s first Espresso bar on wheels. Lui-Chi’s Wood roasted Whiskey Barrel Aged Espresso! 2018 I built my first Espresso bar in Phipps McKinnon building, downtown Edmonton. Follow your dreams, love what you do and share it with others. There’s more to come!
