About Jeffrey's Café
Our Story
Jeffrey's Café was founded by Lance Warkentin, an entrepreneurial chef whose journey began at just 20 years old. What started as a passion for pastry at the Grande Prairie Farmers Market quickly evolved into a full-scale catering business, known as White Sail Event Catering.
By 2001, the business expanded to three locations, including the original Jeffrey's Centre Café in the Creative Arts Centre. Today, Jeffrey's Café Co. proudly serves guests from multiple locations including Mill District and the Montrose Cultural Centre.
Our globally inspired menus reflect Lance's travels and commitment to flavor, bringing eclectic, handcrafted dishes to the people of Grande Prairie and beyond.
