General

Do you offer catering?

Wild Earth Bakery & Café launched its catering division last year. That means you can have our yummy scones, soups, salads, sandwiches, and, of course, squares delivered to your next boardroom meeting. Since we are crazy about Mother Earth, our catering is served on earthenware or 100% compostable materials so you can have a feel-good moment while you enjoy some good food!!

We cater breakfast and lunch, so go on, get a little wild, and place your order today. Please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to place your order.

Do you carry gluten-free, sugar-free or vegan items?

Heck yeah we do! We always make sure we have something in-house to satisfy most dietary restrictions.

For vegans, we have muffins, our yummy vegan gluten-free granola bars, veggie rolls and a variety of fresh salads. Try the quinoa salad… it will blow your mind! For the hot bevy lover, Wild Earth also carries organic soy milk, specifically designed for barista use, so it steams up beautifully!

Want sugar-free items? Baby, we got those too!! We carry sugar-free three-bite brownies and muffins. All of our sugar-free baking is done with Stevia and Agave. Both are low on the glycemic index, and are a healthy, natural alternative to artificial sweeteners.

Wild Earth Bakery is big on gluten-free. We’ve heard a constant demand for more, more, more - so our line of celiac-friendly goods is constantly expanding. Muffins (which are also dairy-free), biscotti, cookies, breads, brownies, salads, and soups are just the tip of the iceberg! We even have our gluten-free monster cookie dough for sale in our take-and-bake freezer.

We can also make sugar-free, gluten-free, or vegan cakes for order. For specialty cakes, please place your order with at least 48 hours notice. To place an order for a specialty cake today, please email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Do you carry gift certificates?

We sure do! Gift certificates are available in $10 increments at our 99 street location.  At our Laurier location we now have reloadable gift cards available, how cool is that?!  Pretty cool.

Can you provide the nutritional information for your baked goods?

We do not have nutritional information for any of our product at this time. But don’t fret, my pet, it’s something that we are considering. In the interim, we are always happy to provide you with a list of ingredients so you know what goes into those tasty treats.

Cakes

Do you make sheet cakes?

We do not make sheet cakes. All of our delectable cakes are available as rounds only. Every cake is three layers of moist, delish cake smothered in our rich icing, (your choice of three different icing types – buttercream, Italian buttercream or cream cheese icing).

Do you make shaped cakes/fondant cakes?

Fondant cakes are right up our alley! Wild Earth Bakery & Café has recently launched Wild Cakes. Our bakers are happy to create a one-of-a-kind fondant creation for any special event. Weddings, birthdays, graduation - you name it and we’ll create it! The best part is our homemade fondant - it’s delicious!

As a general rule we do not make shaped cakes. That said, our bakers are crazy-creative and talented, so if you have a shaped cake in mind, give us a cake consult call – we just may be up for the challenge.  

How far in advance must I place my cake order?

For most orders we require only 24 hours notice. But heck, we’ll do a last-minute order if you accidently forgot that special someone’s birthday! You may not get the elaborate, seven-tiered princess cake of your dreams with only three hours to go, but we could absolutely prepare you an amazing carrot cake that would please any princess (or prince for that matter)!

Wedding cakes require at least one week’s notice.

Specialty cake orders, gluten-free, sugar-free, or vegan must be placed at least 48 hours in advance.

Do you deliver?

Absolutely! We can delivery to anywhere within Edmonton's city limits. To receive a quote on delivery please contact Chelsey at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Coffee

What kind of coffee do you serve?

We believe that coffee should be like our scratch baking, made fresh from the finest ingredients. Our baristas are extensively trained (by Chelsey, who takes cappuccinos extremely seriously) in traditional Italian style. Think rich micro-foam and rosettas.

Our new and improved espresso beans are provided by Danesi. Yep, that means our espresso is made by one of the finest roasters in Rome, renowned for their focus on tradition and quality. Basically, this means that in every one of our lattes, you taste over a century of experience and quality.

Our drip coffee is provided by local roaster, Goccia; artisan blends of some darn-tootin' good beans.  Come on in and try a sip of our latest feature roast, Tarrazu.  A Costa Rican coffee that have you tappin' your heels in caffeniated delight!

Are your coffees fair-trade/organic?

Fair-trade is something very near and dear to our hearts. All of our coffees are ethically traded, multi-region blends. We have yet to find an organic blend that meets the high quality standards of Wild Earth or Goccia coffee. Rest assured, lovelies, we are constantly on the lookout for new blends that will provide you with the greatest cup of joe around!

Getting coffee to go? Wild Earth is an eco-friendly company so all of our cups (and any of our take-away containers) are 100% compostable, made from recycled products and sent by carbon-neutral shipping.

Employment

Are you hiring?

Wild Earth is always on the look-out for innovative, fun-lovin’, creative individuals to join the team. To see what positions are currently available please check out our job posting page.

Can I send you my resume?

Absolutely! Resumes can be sent to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). Please be sure to include what position you are applying for and a little blurb about yourself. That said, call us old-fashioned, but we prefer resumes to be submitted in person at the café. Stop by, say hello and dazzle us with your fabulous personality and amazing resume.

Donations and Charity

Can you donate or sponsor my event?

While we can’t fulfill every charity request, we’d love to hear about your event and see if Wild Earth can help. All donation requests must be submitted in writing to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Consideration will be given to local organizations only.

What is your favourite charity?

We don’t believe in picking favourites, however, we are big fans of the North Saskatchewan River Valley Conservation Society. As well, we donate all our day-olds to three different in-city charities.

Other

Are you affiliated with Wild Earth Foods?

No, we are not associated with Wild Earth Foods, we are only associated with Wild Earth Catering and Wild Earth Café.

Long story short: Joanne Bateman of Wild Earth Foods originally owned and operated the bakery. In May 2008, Greta Sieben and Dee Bateman, Joanne’s sister, purchased the bakery. While we are two separate businesses, no matter which Wild Earth you frequent, you are patronizing a locally-owned and -operated business with a strong commitment to community. Now how sweet is that?!

Do you have the number for Wild Earth Foods?

Sure do! You can reach the grocery store at 780.439.4555.

Anything we've missed? We’d love to hear from you! Please feel free to fire any questions our direction at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

No Job Postings At This Time

Our flagship location ain't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill cornershop. Nope, 8902 99 street has been a mainstay for the residents of the Strathcona and Mill Creek area since the Great Depression. So sit back friends, and let me tell you a tale about a little building that could.

Ol' 8902 originated in 1932 when Tubby Bateman opened up a small butchershop next to the neighbourhood Red & White grocery store. It started off as a small simple affair, heck with only 500 square feet it had to be! Tubby continued to grow his business, and eventually, in 1948, he purchased the Red & White grocery store.

Over time Ol' 8902 would undergo a series of renovations and transformations. Milk Bar, pharmacy, rumpus room, you name and the building had it! Tubby was onto one thing, the neighbourhood needed a hub, a bustling place for the fine folks of Strathcona and Millcreek to gather.

Throughout the years, tenants would come and go, but the Batemans remained connected to Ol' 8902 and the Strathcona 'hood. In 2002, Dee Bateman opened up a Booster Juice in the very spot where her grandfather launched the whole Bateman shebang. In 2005, Dee's sister Joanne purchased the space, along with the adjoining Bateman's IGA, and turned it into Wild Earth. Ol' 8902 was once again renovated and out of the drywall rubble, a bakery was born.

It was in 2008 when things took a wild turn. Dee had a taste for the far-out, fun, fabulousness of 99 street and came back wanting more. Along with her business partner, Greta Sieben, they purchased the bakery and soon after undertook in what can only be called Extreme Makeover: Bakery addition. Some called it crazy, and it kind of was, but two years and a heck of a lot of drywall later, Wild Earth Bakery & Café opened its doors to a new renovated space. Twice the seating, twice the kitchen space and even more room for its products, oh my!

And what of Ol' 8902? Well, it's just as sassy and classy as ever with a couple new coats of paint and a pretty nifty interior. Stop by and check out a little bit of Edmonton history in Bateman corner (northwest nook in the bakery). Take in a tribute to the Bateman family and their connection to the Mill Creek community while sitting back on Bob and Anita Bateman's first couch from the 1960's.

Got some history with Ol' 8902 that you would love to share, well heck, we'd love to hear it! Share your most excellent adventure with us at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)! 

The phrase "easy as pie" has kind of given cake a bad rap. But it's not like you have to climb Everest to get your taste buds on an exquisite Red Velvet with cinnamon spice buttercream icing.
