    Located just next to Downtown Canmore, we visited Beamer's due to the reviews on Yelp. We went to Eclipse the other day and the iced latte here is a bit lacking in flavor and quality and isn't cheap either. It's a very chain coffee taste. Interior seating and exterior seating is available but there's lot of dirty crumbs and trash lying around so we just got the drink to go.

    Matcha and Mountain View

    Good selection of coffee and teas. I got the matcha and a chocolate croissant which were both excellent. Also has a great Mountain View from the counter seating!

    We were staying in Canmore while visiting Banff NP and we came in here every morning for our coffee fix. They views from the outdoor seating is so good. A perfect testimony to the mountain town. They have such good menu options, from pastry to sandwiches, from wraps to overnight oats, we probably tried all these categories. Highly recommend their chocolate over night oats and spinach bacon sandwich. We also got the Canadian Mocha and this was such a winner.

    Our first time having a Canadian mocha - a mocha with a shot of maple syrup - yes please! Great place, go here!

    Muffin.

    Passing thru Canmore on my way to BC from Calgary. The mountain views of this town is breath taking. And you can enjoy a nice view while having coffee at Braemer's. I ordered a muffin and it was huge. I wish I can remember the name but you can see in the picture it tastes good as it looks. Consider sharing if you don't have a big appetite. Place is clean. Lots of comfortable seating where you can read or just relax and a great view of the mountains. The pics I posted doesn't do it justice. I think this place is frequented by snowboarders and skiers. Staff is friendly. I guess it helps this is a tourist town. They also have great merchandise for sale. Great souvenir from Canmore for yourself or to bring back to so someone. I will definitely be back!

    A must if you ever go to Canmore! Located at the very heart of Canmore downtown. It's your neighbourhood café where you feel you know everybody in town. Their menu is the standard that you'll find in any café. They offer pastries, sandwiches, wraps, etc. Prices are not high for the Canmore standard. The staff is always polite and friendly. The place itself is always tidy. Give it a try next time you visit this lovely town!

    Sugar-free hazelnut decaf with extra foam
    Lois C.

    My favorite coffee place in all of Alberta. I seem to make it here every day when I'm in the area. I'm generally a decaf drinker, but have had both here. I always have sugar-free hazelnut & really like how they never over-sweeten my coffee with it as they almost always do everywhere in the states. I also get extra foam on my breve & theirs is perfect with a wonderful toasty almost light marshmallow flavor. This place is comfy & has plenty of seating even though it is fairly small. My favorite spot is in one of the cushy chairs by the fireplace. I like this location beast also due to its proximity to the downtown shops & restaurants. Plus the folks who work here are always super friendly & helpful & don't look at me cross-eyed when I place my very specific order that has been honed & refined over the years. Wish we had one of these near where I live.

    Vanilla chai latte (small)
    Liselle L.

    As "one of the best coffee shops" in Canmore, I was excited to try this place out with my fiancé! We walked inside at 7:30AM on a Monday morning, so basically all of the tables and barstools were open for us! There were so many options, so it was hard to choose! I noticed how Beamer's sells day-old pastries at a reduced price. I love how they do this because I know so much food goes to waste just because it isn't "less than a day old", and other people could use that food as well! I was eyeing a cinnamon roll when a large dark brown square caught my attention. I was told it's a Nanaimo bar, a Canadian treat with chocolate and cookie dough flavors. With this in mind, I ordered a vanilla chai latte and a Nanaimo bar, while my fiance ordered an apple puff pastry. The vanilla chai latte was quite sweet! Its warmth was soothing especially a cold winter's day. The Nanaimo bar was also quite sweet! It turns out it had a mix of chocolate, cookie, and coconut on the bottom. This part was sweet, but not too overpowering that I couldn't taste the sweet cookie flavored filling. The top was made of delicious milk chocolate. All together, this made a wonderfully sweet chocolate-centered treat! It was a bit sweet for my tastes to have for breakfast, but it was still my favorite part of breakfast. The apple puff pastry was dusted with large sugar particles, so it was definitely sweet. I also liked how buttery the pastry was. Beamer's gave a generous helping of apples coated in a cinnamon glaze, so this was also something I enjoyed! I would love to come back to Beamer's and try out the different kinds of treats here! Judging by the quality of the Nanaimo bar and apple puff pastry, I am sure the other treats are just as delicious!

    Amazing coffee and muffin! Couldn't have been better!
    Brennah L.

    This is the most amazing coffee shop I've ever been to! Yesterday I tried the espresso white chocolate muffin with mocha caramel and white. Today I tried the strawberry chocolate health muffin and cafe marble mocha with whip. I've not been disappointed at all in any of these items. If anything I'm jealous that back home in Oklahoma all we have is Starbucks and a few others. But they don't compare to Beamers at all. The variety of specialty drinks and food make this the go to place for anyone in the area needing a cup of good coffee, good eats, or their fast free wifi. We are road tripping from the States and this place has been our life saver for wifi! Absolutely amazing experience each time we have come. I will miss it for sure when we leave today! Give it a shot if your in the area because you won't be disappointed!!!! You can't beat that view either!

    White chocolate pumpkin muffin - very very dense and heavy!
    Stephanie C.

    People weren't kidding when they talk about the muffins here. Please drop by on your way to Banff for breakfast! The muffins are so dense and moist, it basically lasted me two breakfasts. The coffee was solid too. Plenty of options on coffee, tea and baked goods.

    Pretty good coffee, nice selection of snacks for the trail. Probably the best part is the shady outdoor seating area.

    This was a break vegan breakfast spot! We had a vegan burrito and a vegan melt - both of which were…read moredelicious and very filling. The melt stood out to us due to the coconutty flavor but I would order both again! There were plenty of seats available and service was quick. The restaurant itself has a lot of vibrant local jewelry and teas for sale as well! I would rather here again!

    Breakfast/Lunch Stop Worth the Detour…read more I'm a pretty picky eater. Not because I want to be, but because I have to be. I try to eat vegetarian in the morning, and I'm allergic to wheat, which makes dining out a little more complicated than it should be. My boyfriend found this little café outside Banff, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the better food surprises of the trip. We both ordered the Pad Thai -- one loaded with extra protein, one without. I had low expectations. I've eaten enough Thai food to know that about 7 or 8 out of 10 places overcook the noodles. They become soft, mushy, and fall apart the moment you touch them. Not here. The noodles were cooked perfectly -- still chewy with a nice bite. The peanut sauce was another pleasant surprise. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy like many North American versions. The balance was just right. The spice level was mild, which I appreciated because the dish actually tasted like Pad Thai instead of being buried under a mountain of chili. The vegetables were generous, fresh, and plentiful. My boyfriend's chicken portion wasn't huge, but there was plenty of tofu, which made sense since the dish is originally designed as a vegetarian option. The chef seemed to add the chicken as an extra rather than making it the star of the plate. The portion looked manageable when it arrived. It was not. I couldn't finish mine, and my boyfriend had to rescue the remaining noodles. Pad Thai: 4/5 The Vegan Berry Scone was light, not greasy, and not overly sweet. The strawberries and blueberries added little bursts of tartness, and there was a nice oat flavor throughout. My only complaint? It might have been too healthy. A tiny bit more sweetness could have taken it from "good" to "wow." Vegan Berry Scone: 3/5 The Vegan Chocolate Cake was exactly what a chocolate lover would want. Rich dark chocolate flavor without being sugary or overwhelming. It was a little dense and heavy, but in a comforting way that made me keep reaching for another bite. If the cake itself were slightly more moist, it would be nearly perfect. That said, making something both vegan and gluten-free that tastes this good deserves credit. Vegan Chocolate Cake: 4/5 What really impressed me was the overall value. Since the café is outside the main Banff tourist zone, prices are much more reasonable, parking is easy, and they offer a surprisingly large selection of gluten-free and vegan options. For someone like me, who usually spends half the meal interrogating the menu, that alone is worth celebrating. Final Rating: 4/5 Good food, fair prices, easy parking, and plenty of options for people with dietary restrictions. I'd absolutely come back. In fact, if I'm passing through again, I probably won't bother looking for another place.
