Hi-ya! So we've always enjoyed hot milk tea. Which is just tea with a little milk and honey/ sugar. Apparently this place had a drink that was similar, called the London Fog. It was so good when you add a little sweetener and their iced matcha was perfect on the warmer day we had it. So well balanced and tasty. The kids had a butter croissant, quiche, and we shared a panini. All were pretty darn good, and the place had a great casual vibe that didn't feel rushed, too busy or cramped. We had drinks here on several days to avoid the sbux (which we love, but wanted something more local feeling). Just a great cafe and service was good, and so was the atmosphere. Clean, lively, and fast service. read more

This is such a great spot for coffee in the heart of Banff and in the middle of all the touristy areas. The large order of coffees in my group came out relatively fast and were so delicious. read more

This is a nice shop in downtown Banff. For me, expectations met, I wanted a late morning, easy bite and a latte. The ham and cheese croissant filled the bill, this is a display case thing where the sandwich is microwaved hot, still hit the spot. I also had a 16oz latte which was good, less foamy than some. Ample seating, chill background track and very friendly and attentive staff. read more

My group had the good fortune to find Evelyn's Coffee Bar on our first (and only) day in Banff. Evelyn's has the ambiance of a shop where attention to detail matters. It 's warm, inviting, and clean. The food and drink choices pleased each of us and the staff were friendly and efficient. My group walked to the shop the next morning before meeting our tour bus in hopes of getting a coffee to go. The shop wasn't open yet, but a staff person inside saw us looking for the hours of operation sign on the window. They opened the door and insisted that we come in to have a drink prepared! I don't know of another shop that would extend such hospitality. Evelyn's and Banff uber exceeded our expectations on this visit. Add this shop to your Must Visit List!! read more

I tried several different coffee shops along the Banff corridor, this was by far my favorite shop to visit.

Came here for a snack in between lunch and dinner. Ham and cheese croissant and Spinach Feta Danish it is! They were nice enough to heat it up, but wish it was a bit hotter. It cooled down pretty fast by the time I sat down. The Spinach Feta Danish was good, but maybe because it wasn't fresh it tasted "heavy".....like oily. The flavor was still good. The H&C Croissant did the job. Nothing to rave about. I had ordered a latte once before and cannot remember whether it was good or not. -_- read more

Was looking for a quick afternoon pick me up and popped into Evelyns. Im usually an Americano type of guy but thought I would mix it up and ordered and iced mocha. Good decision, it was delicious and refreshing. Bright, well lit atmosphere with ample space . The Barista was friendly and quick. I could see this place being busy during peak hours so plan accordingly if you are looking for that caffeine spike read more

I don't understand the poor reviews. We tried three different coffee shops during our week stay and this one was by far the best. Their Americano is not only strong, smooth and tasty but has a nice little crema on top. Far tastier than Whitebark or Good Earth. Additionally, their English muffin breakfast sandwiches were super hearty (w/two eggs), bacon or ham and tasty. These were served hot with melted cheese. In our books, this place is a winner. The staff was always friendly and helpful also. read more

Ample seating and quiet music make this a great place to work for a few hours, or meet with a larger group of people. The service is friendly and laid back. I will say, the food does not seem fresh. I appreciate the large portions of the pastries but they taste very box-made. If you're looking for a treat, look elsewhere. Also, while someone routinely sweeps the floor, I never saw the tables wiped down at it showed. Mine had old coffee rings and there were crumbs on some others. read more

Was very intrigued with the "Banff's Favorite Coffee" They didn't disappoint, but I wouldn't also say it's the best coffee I've ever tasted. Service was ok! All they did was really take the order. Place can be packed. Plenty of chairs and tables to sit and hang around. My drink: Mocha - very rich in flavor. My friends also enjoyed their flat white and latte! read more

My friends and I stopped by this little cafe in the downtown banff area. I was very excited to see that they had matcha latte here but was quite disappointed in the drink. I personally thought the matcha latte didn't really have much matcha taste to it. My friend also ordered a Chai Latte and it was also a bit underwhelming. However, I thought the staff were very nice and that cafe itself seemed really cute. read more

While spending our 30th wedding anniversary in Canada, we had a day that was just cold, rainy and even a bit snowy. We decided to head into the town of Banff and explore a little bit. We came upon this cute lil coffee shop and boy was I glad. As most of my Yelp friends know I am a matcha latte' lover and I always try them wherever I go. This place was no exception so of course I ordered one and my husband enjoyed a mocha. Since the day was chilly, I ordered a hot one. I was very pleased. This matcha was so delicious. One of the best I have drank. This great coffee bar opened in 1992. It is a good size business with seating in the front and the back. They serve all kinds of espresso drinks, have a terrific tea menu and also serve sandwiches and other bites. They also provide catering services. Service was friendly and helpful. This is a very popular coffee bar and there were lots of travelers like us enjoying their drinks. Be sure to stop in when in Banff for a morning or afternoon pick me up. read more

Go elsewhere, the people are nice but this is watery coffee and kinda gross. I would skip in the future

My friends and I were walking through the town and before finishing our shopping decided to stop by Evelyn's for an afternoon pick-me-up. Despite all of the busyness outside, inside the shop felt warm and cozy. I ordered my usual, an iced latte with vanilla--it was creamy and delicious. Definitely the drink I needed at that time. Given how busy it was all over town, it took about 15 minutes or so for my drink to be prepared, a little longer than I would have liked but I understood. Staff were super friendly. Would definitely go back. read more

Surprised to see low ratings as this was my favorite coffee in Banff! The ambiance isn't the best and at first comes off with the vibes a chain place would but the coffee is very good. I had a decaf iced mocha with oatmilk. Coffee flavor was great and the mocha had a deep dark chocolate flavor. They have a pre-packaged gluten free/dairy free brownie here that was yummy. My friend ordered an iced chai and said it was really good; however, he did not care for the regular banana bread read more

We (3 adults, 2 kindergarteners) went in just craving something hot to drink. We got a Soy milk decaf latte (for me), a almond milk hot chocolate for someone in our party with a dairy allergy and a matcha latte. All three drinks were delicious! The matcha latte was mildly sweet. The hot chocolate was chocolatey without any sweetness. The soy milk decaf latte was frothy, not sweet, but had the perfect coffee flavor. The place had a great ambience, and parking was right behind the mall in which this shop is located. The parking cost us only $2 for an hour. I highly recommend visiting this coffee store when you visit Banff. read more

Really great chi lates and great service! A nice place to relax, great atmosphere. Highly Recommend.

Matcha latte with oat milk was great and lightly sweetened, with a robust matcha flavor. Lattes and cappuccinos are also good but not as strong/roasted in flavor as I would've liked. Almond croissant was soft and buttery, but the almond filling was rather too sweet for me. read more

We stopped here to get a late lunch to go. We tried a vegetarian savory pastry, their smoked salmon bagel, and their chocolate strawberry cheesecake. We enjoyed all of the items but felt as if it was a bit pricier than some of the other cafes we had stopped at in Banff. The staff were kind and helpful. read more

Lovely! The warm egg and bacon sandwich was delicious and the ambience is so peaceful! Lots of delicious breakfast options! Prices are very reasonable and service was fast but friendly. We'll be back tomorrow. We enjoyed Evelyn's local coffee in our hotel so we looked for this shop. So glad we found Evelyn's. read more

Popped in here on Christmas Day as I didn't hit the slopes and needed a place to grab a bite to eat and chill. There was a long line, but it went by quickly and the barista girls were super nice and friendly. I ordered a hot cocoa and a spinach feta pastry. They had wifi, but I could't get my iPhone to connect so I just journaled while drinking my cocoa. The pastry was soft and yummy. I should have ordered more food as I was still hungry heading back to the hotel. Oops! In addition to coffee, they have food, lattes, and some merchandise for sale, like cute mugs and apparel. This is a great spot to grab a warm beverage on a cold day in downtown Banff! read more

I got the pumpkin spice latte!! It was good!! They have a bunch of flavors to choose between! It isn't anything to brag about but definitely good! read more

Some communication challenges at first. Coffee was very good. Breakfast sandwiches were ok (good just not amazing). Pumpkin pie was very good read more

Grabbed a decaf one evening when everything else was closed, and it was so good! Friendly service (and good music:) too.

Waking into Evelyn's is like finding your neighborhood latte spot. Love the variety of seating ranging from a huge wooden table reminiscent of Game of Thrones at the Red Wedding to smallish tables for 1 or 2. In the back is some additional seating up a split level & don't forget the barstools atthe windows. I tried an egg nog latte from here and it was excellent! The espresso roast here was perfect. I was admittedly skeptical when the barista told a customer they made a latte WAY better than Starbucks (after all, I'm a Seattle girl at heart). But after 1 sip I was a believer! Their baked goods and sandwiches didn't appeal to me at all but the latte was divine! I will most definitely stop in next time I'm in Banff. read more

Came about a month ago and had a lovely blonde girl serve me I forget her name she said she was from ontario and made me an excellent hot chocolate and latte! She was also working with a short brunette girl who was very nice and talkative! Amazing service and super pretty drinks! Had high hopes returning this past week but wasn't as impressed. Servers were much less bubbly and the energy of people and music were more depressing. Still good drinks but didn't have that above and beyond service that I loved. Cute spot! read more

Very cozy place. We enjoyed some coffee, and some deserts. The coffee beans used was very flavourful. The deserts were made with high quality ingredients. Such as fresh cream, nuts, fruits, and made to perfection. We will return !!! read more

Excellent pastries (especially the cannoli ), excellent coffee and a nice cozy atmosphere. Bought croissant sandwiches for our afternoon hike and they were delightful. Service is very friendly. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Great vibe and coffee! Pastries are fantastic also! They should have more of the chocolate croissant, though. It's gone fast. Keep up with the good quality guys! read more

Service was fast and friendly. Price was okay. Our coffee and chocolate were the perfect temperature and flavor. I got a small (latte) which was good. Any larger would get cold easily with current temperatures. The inside is cute with plenty of seating and free wifi. Way better than stopping at a chain like Starbucks by far! read more

BEST cup of coffee I have EVER had in my life!!! The Cafe Mocha is to die for (make sure to ask for the whipped cream). We ordered a piece of pecan pie (delicious) and also a Trail Cookie (equally amazing) which was loaded with chocolate chips, coconut, sunflower seeds and raisins. I wish I lived here, so that I could come here everyday! The staff are also super friendly and kind! read more

So I was being very confusing with my order and the staff managed to be calm and polite with me, so bonus points for that!

All in all, great stuff! read more

I don't think anyone is expecting Seattle or Portland quality coffee in the same small town where you have to beware of wild mating elk during the wintertime, but this coffee shop leaves a lot to be desired. For a space to sit around and enjoy wifi, it's just fine. If you left your hotel to grab a better cup of coffee than you can make in your room, you might be disappointed. Perhaps I caught them on two bad days, but after a couple less-than-stellar experiences, I was ready to move on. On the bright side, the staff were all very nice, which almost mitigates their shortcomings. Emphasis on 'almost'. read more

I used to frequent Evelyn's quite often when I lived in the Bow Valley and it was a frequent meeting spot for me and my friends. The staff were really nice and friendly and always made you fell welcome. Precovid seating was adequate and we rarely had a problem getting a table. Always ended up having some baked good because of how engaging the staff were. This is the key for coffee shops to learn especially in Calgary where coffee shop staff seem so robotic and don't appear to enjoy their jobs; just going through the motions for a pay check. Same goes for most Calgary waitressing personnel. read more
