MainStreet 1908

MainStreet 1908 European-style coffee house, tea room, and old-fashioned ice cream parlour with a modern twist located in the historic heart of Camrose, Alberta

From our humble beginnings as a travelling pop-up ice cream shop, travelling around to local fairs and trade shows across Alberta for over a decade, it was always our intention to settle down in our hometown and open an idyllic little ice cream parlour. And, given our climate, it only seemed logical to incorporate coffee and tea, so we set to work finding the best of the best; the crème de la crèm

e, as they say. The beautiful historic building on Main Street has been so many things to so many people over the past century (Canadian Club, courthouse, Treasury Branch, library, etc.) we simply had to honour its significance to the community by creating a warm and inviting gathering place that all ages could enjoy. We humbly acknowledge that this land was traditionally known as ᐊᓯᓂᐢᑲᐤ ᓰᐲᓯᐢ (asiniskaw sipisis - Stoney Creek) in Treaty 6 territory. This territory provided a travelling route and home to the Maskwacis Nêhiyawak, Niitsitapi, Nakoda, and Tsuut'ina Nations, the Métis, and other Indigenous peoples.
