This year’s gift for Local 196 members is a CoffeePass. Office reps will pick up the gifts from the Local 196 office this week to distribute to their team members.

What is CoffeePass?
CoffeePass is Edmonton’s local café passport—a curated experience designed to promote and support the city’s vibrant coffee community. The 2025 Edition of CoffeePass gives passholders 40 coffees—one at each of our 40 participating independent cafés—allowing you to explore the best local spots, each offering unique charm, friendly atmosphere, and excellent coffee.

What Do I Get With a CoffeePass?
With your CoffeePass, you’ll receive one (1) drip or brewed coffee at each participating café. While exact menu options vary, most cafés also offer espresso-based drinks (like lattes or cappuccinos), which you can upgrade to by paying the difference or a set cost. This helps cafés cover costs while still offering you a great experience.

Don’t forget to check the CoffeePass café partner list or ask your barista for specific drink offerings.
