I really liked this place. I tried their yoga bowl and it was a great, balanced meal. The portion was just right. This place can get pretty busy and the line gets long. They have a wide selection of teas which they also have for sale in containers, along with other novelty items. Many of their food options are healthy but they also have unhealthy ones, which is perfect for groups that vary in their food choices/lifestyles. read more

It's a good restaurant with decent food. It has a comfy atmosphere. I found the cashier to be a stand-offish, and a bit hostile and rude with my elderly mother when she asked a simple question about the ingredients in her food. It might have been a bad day. read more

OH MY! This place knocked our socks off! Food was amazingly good, ambiance was awesome for a cozy little place to grab lunch or a coffee with friends. We ordered a wide variety of things but can most certainly recommend the egg sandwich - the chutney they put on there is the bomb diggity! Can't go wrong with the avocado toast either. read more

Great neighbourhood cafe with a healthy selection of breakfast and lunch items. Made me feel so "clean" just being there. Portions are also very generous. Bonus points for having a play area for our kiddies. Definitely worth a visit if you are in Canmore. read more

I read all the online yelp reviews on the drive here between Calgary and Kenmore and I was salivating at the photos. sure enough this place did not disappoint at all in anyway. Huge beautiful bright windows were spectacular mountain views, awesome lighting, friendly staff, fun people watching for all the cute Hippies and yoga mommies and babies, there's a great area for toys for kids clients with nice clean fun looking toys. Plus all the toddlers are very adorable and well behaved so that was fun too. For our orders we went with what everybody else was suggesting on this page, including the Powerball which is vegetarian and be but a bowl which is also vegetarian, one son had a nice turkey sandwich and one son had the pad Thai noodles which he said we're only just OK. But the rest of it was delicious. I was feeling full but in a healthy way and you didn't hate yourself afterwards for eating fried foods that are bad for you. The garlic tahini sauce lived up to its reputation, it was perfect. And then just when I didn't think I would love this place anymore, I went to use the bathroom and I found out they have live music every week, now that we are frequently coming here I'm guessing we're going to be bringing my son often to play guitar. Love it PS If you are looking for a restaurant locally; Whatever you do, NEVER go to the Calgary restaurant The Guild. The insane manager literally called the police and tried to put me "under citizens arrest" for accidentally knocking over a glass of wine- see my full review here https://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-guild-calgary read more

It has become our habit to visit Communitea Café every time we are in Canmore. The space is bright and relaxing and the food is really good. My daughter really loves the vegan Buddha bowl and we love going for the perfectly made Intelligentsia lattés and outstanding London Fogs. read more

Wow, earned all the previous superlative reviews. We had the yam quesadilla, pad Thai, soup, that tangle salad... Every one winners. So on.

On the way from Calgary to lake Louise, my family stopped by here for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised!! The interior was adorable, and the staff was incredibly kind. And the food was incredible!! In particular, the gourmet grilled cheese sandwich and the chicken sandwich were delicious!!! And everything seems to be very customizable and healthy... Would love to come here again! read more

Great little spot in Canmore. Best coffee ever, delicious healthy menu with soooo many excellent choices. All super fresh and made to order. Nice friendly service and super clean place. Highly recommend! read more

Definitely the place to start your morning off right with some nutritious food to power you through an exciting day in Banff National Park! The tranquil bookstore coffee shop-esque atmosphere helps you feel right at home regardless of where you might be visiting from, and nothing better than when food tastes great and is good for you! read more

communitea café in canmore is the best restaurant in canmore. the staff have thousands of secrets, but they don't have time to tell you, because there are better things to do. when you go for breakfast, you will have missed live music from independent bands because you came on the wrong day at the wrong time; it is obvious that you aren't a part of the communitea. then, a girl in a black suede, backless-cut vest asks you what you would like. "make a wish, and then join the communitea by telling me your wish with your eyes," i imagine the server saying. "which type of leaf would you like drawn on your latte?" the communitea café has everything that you do not, including the pitcher of lemon water from the grand, southern plantation house that you never lived in. "hello! -- from hello vintage." this was the gift tag in a tiny cactus plant sitting on top of an inset in the wall that was intended to hold a fireplace. no fireplace was needed, because the communitea café radiates its own inner warmth. the vintage clothing store down the road loves them. did they send you a cactus plant? that's okay, because you can just look at the one here. while you eat your breakfast tortilla with avocado, tofu, and sun-shaped apple slices, a child will walk by outside of the window. the sun shines on both of you, but the sun shines more on you, because the sun prefers to shine on the communitea through glossy wall-windows. you do not have to be a part of the communitea if you do not want to, but summer is coming. the food tastes like having a best friend. it is sticky and warm. the peanut butter for your toast comes in a little dish because no one made assumptions about your portion preferences. the lady who brings your toast is from australia, and is wearing a patterned dress with a messy, low bun and brown leather boots. she already knows that you were going to ask for sugar, and she overrides the question before you ask it. "do you want honey?" you say yes, because you have begun to understand what really matters in life. your mouth seems to move on its own as you ask where you can put your dirtea spoon. everything is breathing. "come again," someone says. you aren't sure who said that, but you aren't sure you want to leave anyways. read more

Awesome cafe in Canmore right off of Main Street. My americano was perfect. Nice environment and friendly service. Especially love that they serve Intelligentcia Coffee read more

We had lunch at this cafe in Father's Day. It was busy but the service was efficient. If you are dining in, you order at the counter and they give you a number to display at your table. They had plenty of selection. I enjoyed the turkey apple sandwich and the other two people in my group (both celiac) enjoyed the GF Pad Thai. We enjoyed our meals and they weren't crazy expensive. I found the popcorn as a side was rather an odd choice to go with my sandwich but otherwise the flavours were delicious. We also had a date square and GF lemon bar for dessert - yum!! I love that this place is off the beaten path, roomy and bright. read more

Amazing coffee, friendly staff. I never ate here but the food looks amazing. Whenever I am in Canmore I make a special trip to this place for my maple latte! They do a fantastic job of making latte's here. Be prepared to wait because this place is busy, but they also take their time with what they are doing and I appreciate that. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I'm a big fan of tea so I absolutely adore this cafe. I always stop by when I'm in Canmore or passing through. They have a large tea selection and everytime I go, I get a tea latte along with several loose leaf teas to try at home. In terms of food they have a fantastic menu with healthy, clean eating menu choices. I've tried many dishes on the menu and my favourite is the buddha bowl, which has brown rice, veggies, tofu with a divine garlic tahini dressing. The dressing makes the dish! It is amazing. read more

Awesome, very clean place. Went in for breakfast and had an apple crumble bowl. The food was good, and they have dozens of different teas! The staff will guide you if you're not sure which one you should get! Plus, the interior is super nice and they have good music! I only put four stars though, because it's pricey (but then again, we're in the Rockies). Also good for working. read more

Communitea Cafe - This is the apple crumble bowl. Yoghurt means extra fee (2$). - Gluten-Free Near Me - Canmore, Alberta

Most amazing thing I've eaten this trip! It was pretty busy for a mid afternoon visit but the food was totally worth the wait. I had the Gourmet Grilled Cheese and the tomato chutney and garlic dijon aioli it comes with put it over the top! It was incredibly flavourful. I will definitely be having it again every time I visit Canmore. read more

Love the food here... All of it!!! I love the rice bowls, the pad thai, the rocky mountain wrap... It's fresh, clean food at its best!

I didn't want to like Communitea because at first it felt a bit too "hipster" for my taste, but it's quickly become my favourite place in town, for so many reasons. The food is healthy and delicious. The chairs are comfy. The atmosphere is great for studying or working, and for hanging out with friends. A dedicated area for kids makes it great for families, while the rest of us can socialize or think in peace. Plus the staff is friendly and competent. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

My wife and visited this place during our trip to the Canadian Rockies. The minute we walked in we could tell that it was a local hangout. The staff all but ignored us, and when they did acknowledge our presence, it was with an air of indifference. When they took our order they were kurt, snotty, and rushed us through, like we were taking up their precious time... The food had an overpowering amount of garlic within, probably to cover up the decomposing vegetables that they used... Over-all, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a pleasant dinning experience. read more

Want hippy gluten free or vegetarian food in Canmore, go to Communitea Cafe. Sadly, we discovered this place late into our "forced" imprisonment in Canmore during the great flood of 2013. Our kind of place. Unpretentious, upbeat atmosphere, good coffee, fresh tasty ingredients, healthy choices. My son ordered a cheese sandwich made with real cheese, plus popcorn instead of chips. My wife and I split one of the "mega" bowls. Lots of fresh vegetables, some quinoa, hummus and we added smoked salmon. How can you not love a place that has a very sweet wifi password too (I'll refrain from publishing). read more

A fun place with a great vibe I would highly recommend going to go to this restaurant the staff was extremely friendly and I will return again soon read more

This place always seems busy and it took over 30 minutes to get two lattes to go, but they were excellent coffees.

The food here is amazing. Very healthy and fresh! We ordered the hemp bowl and the rise and shine panini, both of which I highly recommend! It is a bit overpriced ($40 for 2 entrees and 2 coffees) but a fun experience. read more

Quesadillas were really delicious (added avocado). Good portion sizes and a nice vibe. Buddha bowl could have used more flavor but ingredients were nice and fresh. read more

First meal in Canmore. Wife loved her black bean and beet burger. I thought my chicken quesidila was okay. Definitely small. The place is pretty charming and the service was awesome but I thought the food was just okay. Kind of pricey as well. read more

Awesome food! Super healthy, huge portions, and reasonably priced. My new favorite lunch spot!!!!

Amazing food. I love the live concerts, peppermint liquorice tea, Buddha bowl, pad Thai and so much more. Cute restaurant with lots of board games. Sometimes a line up on weekends or popular times. Love this place read more

Amazing food, service and atmosphere!! Love everything about this place! Does healthy but still delicious food at a very reasonable price. Must go! read more

We stopped here on a whim. I had the dragon bowl with chicken in the green curry sauce. My partner had chicken spinach and kale quesadilla with corn chips on the side and an unbelievably yummy dip. The food here would rate 5 stars. It was rather simple fair and the fellow behind the counter told us it would be 20 to 25 minutes. That was quite a wait. The place was obviously a hub for the entire town. Constant line up. Quite noisy. The food was worth the wait. Beautiful presentation. read more

Great breakfast spot! The tea was delicious, and so were the paninis! Would definitely return.

Great place!! Very good food + tea + ambiance :) would have been a 5 star but service was a bit inconsistent

Love the choices here - especially quinoa bowls. Enough simple, veggie or gluten free options to suit a group. Great atmophere. We liked the vibe - community announcements and posters hanging in the restrooms, IKEA ceiling fixtures, clean tables and all the water you can drink. Like most decent food places in Canmore, Banff and Jasper, prices are a bit high. read more

Amazing. The food was crazy good, the cookies(made by a local girl) were yummy, the tea was a delight and the atmosphere was awesome. I'm telling EVERYONE about this place! read more

This is a coffee house not Asian Fusion.. Very good maple latter and OK French press. The green eggs and ham panini was also good.

Gluten free and delicious!!!! We were heading out to Banff one day and decided to stop in Canmore for lunch so en route I googled gluten free options and this place caught my eye. Fast forward a few months and we actually drive out to Canmore on the weekend for lunch here because we love it so much. Wild salmon pesto sandwich is to die for. Their brunch dishes are fabulous. And they have a wonderful selection of teas! A must visit! read more

Perfect location for a healthy breakfast and a high quality tea or coffee. I really enjoyed the spiced black tea. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere make this a must stop location if you are in Canmore and looking for some pre-hiking fuel. read more

Delicious!! Love this place and went twice during my 3 day stay in Canmore. Staff is super friendly and patient. Breakfast is hearty and nutritious and lunch is super good too. Not to mention the teas and baked goodies! Definitely try the huevos quesadilla for breakfast and the veggie wrap is a healthy filling lunch item. The place gets packed during the breakfast to lunch transition time around 11:30AM so plan accordingly. Intelligentsia coffee served here too if you're not a tea person. read more

Excellent lunch and coffee and gluten free treats! We were 3 people who each had a different lunch bowl and all were delicious and completely different!! Highly recommend the yoga bowl. And hemp and goji balls. Yum!!!! read more

I came here looking for a for a sweet, calming atmosphere, and got just that. The open space environment, and pastel colors gave off a the kind of scenery that would be expected in a boutique coffee shop, and while that goes well with the tea-aspect of the store, it did not flow with the Thai food. The pad Thai was not very good. The noodles were under cooked, and the sauce was a creamy peanut that conflicted with the other flavors. While trying to get a new spin on the classic dish, it just came out poorly. Come here for coffee and tea, not Thai food. read more
