    Scrumptious display case

    Downtown Sally is located in the heart of downtown Banff within the LUX building but it's also accessible from a couple of streets. Downtown Sally's coffee is exactly what is needed after days of jug/cafeteria style coffee... I savored every drop. The staff are efficient and very friendly. They have some seating which I availed of and ate my delicious cookie. A great find and if you are in the area and in dire need of a great coffee... this is your spot.

    Got a matcha latte was super excited but got this, maybe was his first day so I don't mind but I found it disrespectful how both workers took a photo of it laughing. Overall was pretty good could tell it was real matcha!

    Maple latte, hot chocolate, cinnamon roll

    Small shop inside an indoor mall. Maple latte was delicious. Also tried the hot chocolate and massive cinnamon roll. On the pricier side, so wouldn't frequent here but it was delicious. Workers were friendly and quick.

    Soup Sandwiches to the rescue!!…read more After a day of hiking and exploring in the Mountains, we were tired, sore, and hangry. Noshing throughout the day we were set on a good soup and sandwich combo. We checked multiple locations and either it was high-end foo foo or just more than we want or just worse. It was pub grub and they had one soup and they weren't sure what it was. We found Wild Flour. They offer multiple soups and sandwiches and a few treats. Kathy selected a carrot fennel bowl (massive) and served with fresh bread and butter, I had a meat and cheese grilled cheese on a focaccia bread, Of course we "shar-zies" and the comfort was enjoyed. The team at 630pm was helpful and prompt guided us as we had not eaten at Wild Flour. Good food, reasonably priced for Banff is a find. Go to Wild Flour and enjoy... we did.

It is located in the Town of Banff inside of a building that houses some touring agencies. Tim Hortons is Canada's biggest coffeehouse chain. They serve coffee drinks, donuts, sandwiches, breakfast items and other fast-food items. Today there are Tim Horton locations all over the world. They are known for their Timbits donut holes. Even though this Tim Horton's location is spacious, it had a line out the door. Summer time is peak season for tourism in Banff and of course everyone wants their coffee drink. After being out in the sun all day, I just wanted something cold and got me a Cold Brew coffee. Tim Hortons offers many of your basic espresso drinks that you would find on any coffee house menu. The Original Blend Double Double and Iced Capp are their popular sellers.

During my last trip to Banff, Canada I decided to stop by a Tim Hortons and give it a try and order the iced brown sugar oat milk coffee. This was a decent coffee but definitely did not taste the brown sugar just a hint of sweetness and the coffee was quite watered down which was a let down. Maybe it was the drink I ordered or the location but sadly the coffee was subpar.

We were hoping we would leave within 10 minutes but it took almost 20 minutes. The employee working the front at the time seemed like he was on his first day. He was extremely slow and was not familiar with reading order properly. The breakfast sandwiches were done and sat on the counter for nearly 5 minutes before I had to ask about the rest of the order which was just fries and a drink. I also ordered a paper bag from the kiosk and when I asked where my bag was, he told me to pay for it first. I don't know why he did not look carefully over the receipt so I had to grab the extremely hot food with my hands on account of not knowing how long he would take giving me a bag. This encounter led to our group being late to our 5 am bus to Lake Moraine. Do yourself a favor and go to Tim Hortons the night before and order some food to prevent such a catastrophic morning.

    Came in off my very first time ever on skis ready to treat myself to the biggest hot cocoa I could…read morefind. The cafe in the main building seemed to have the machine cocoa and I was looking for the good stuff. The real stuff. Milk and bittersweet chocolate warmed together to create an elixer fit for the gods. SO--I made my way over to the Java Lift to investigate their options and was treated to the most lovely hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows and whipped cream, that my little heart could desire. It was delightful. Everything I wanted and more! I was also a little peckish and the crepes they also offered sounded perfect so I went with the black forest ham and gruyere crepe. A little salty to compliment my sweet cocoa. It was served up in a jiffy and the cheese was perfectly melty, the ham was nice and salty, and the crepe shell was prepared perfectly. Nice and thin and holding the whole thing deliciously together. I actually was so jazzed about it I forgot to take a picture, but it was good! They also have a few sweet crepe options and a couple other savory choices as well. If it's coffee you want, they also have that here (hence the "java" part of its name). It's pretty much a Starbucks counter, without the Starbucks name, but they have all the seasonal drinks they offer in Starbucks stores and they use their beans as well. Service is pleasant as pleasant can be. I chatted with the barista for a while and she was just so friendly. It's a little on the small side, seating wise, although there seems to be a decent turnover and I had no trouble getting a window seat to enjoy the incredible views outside. Would definitely while away some time here in the future should I return.

Even on a Saturday you can find a seat either in the cafe or the hotel lobby. They serve Starbucks "We proudly brew" and a somewhat inflated price. There are a range of pastries and sandwiches available. WE had muffins and they were tasty and fresh. They also have a crepe menu and we noticed many patrons treating themselves to one of those. They looked fantastic and seemed quite popular. Once I saw the crepes, I do admit I had a bit of crepe envy. The line up area has a bad flow but people don't seem to get too competitive which is good. In the main lodge I think a similar line flow would lead to coffee shop brawls. Service is also friendly. Ski Patrol seemed to like to come here on breaks so that says something too. This place probably wouldnt do as well in the real world but when you are stuck on a mountain with throngs of other skiers, it is a bit of a gem.
