When my bf and I were in Banff we were looking for a good coffee place before catching a bus to go to a skii lodge and Good Earth Coffeehouse was right next to the bus stop. Upon entering the inside was very cozy and felt like a wood cabin and there was not too long of a wait. We decided to get an iced mocha and add hazelnut syrup to it. This was really unique as they have an entire board of syrups that you are able to add ranging from caramel to Irish cream. The coffee was sweet, creamy, and delicious and the flavor was great! read more

Good Earth Coffeehouse - Mocha with hazelnut syrup - Cafes Near Me - Banff, Alberta

While we were in Banff, we were looking for a place to get some coffee and stumbled upon Good Earth Coffeehouse. The wait wasn't too long and we had a bus that was coming soon so we quickly placed our orders inside. The decor inside is cozy with some places to sit, so it seems like a nice place to chill. I decided to get an iced coffee with hazelnut syrup added to it, though they have a wide selection of syrups to choose from which I appreciated. They have ones like salted caramel, toffee, honey, irish cream, etc. so there are some interesting ones to choose from to add flavors to your drink. My coffee was pretty good, so I would say they got the job done. Pretty solid coffee spot, if you're in Banff I would recommend it if you want to grab some coffee to-go. read more

So many good coffee shops in Banff. Good Earth was close to where we were staying so I ventured out to get my morning hot latte. Coffee was creamy and hot and included some lovely latte art. I got my cup to go but there was seating inside and out. Not a huge line and it moved through quickly. Loved the community bulletin board. Good stop. read more

Cool little coffee shop right on Banff Avenue. It was a busy day as expected and I got a simple iced latte for an afternoon pick me up after spending the morning at the lake. The iced latte was pretty good and got the job done. I did taste what seemed to be vanilla in the latte which I wasn't expecting since I didn't order a vanilla latte. It was a bit too sweet as a result, I'm not sure if this was intended or not but I noted it as someone who just prefers milk and no sweetness in their coffee. read more

Conveniently located next to the Elk Ave Hotel, this was one of the few coffee spots open early, perfect for grabbing a quick bite and coffee before our full-day excursion. I ordered an Americano, a breakfast panini, and a breakfast sandwich. Unfortunately, both sandwiches tasted quite dry, as if the bread was a day old, despite being heated. On a positive note, the restroom was clean and just around the corner inside the hotel. read more

This was the closest coffee shop to my hotel and did the job. It is an inviting space and while I got my order to-go, noticed that there was plenty of seating and not too full in the morning before breakfast time around 7am. There is also seating outside with a firepit for those brave enough to encounter the elements. The staff welcomed me and the menu and pastries were clear and conspicuous. I got a chocolate danish and a plain croissant. They weren't heated at all so that was not a factor when I consumed them minutes later back at my hotel. The danish was a good size and different as it had chocolate swirled throughout, but would have been better had there been more chocolate. The croissant was fluffy and flakey, and also a decent size. Everything was reasonably priced. read more

Not as good as Evelyn's but better than Whitebark Cafe. The breakfast sandwich was okay but could have been warmer up better to be more satisfying. The coffee was good but not as rich and flavorful and needed the crema at the top. read more

Location was a short walk from my hotel. Friendly staff and great coffee! I loved the homemade granola bar.

Quick service and great coffee I went during the morning rush and i felt bad for the barista because she kept burning her hand whenever she was frothing the milk Please try the Italian deli sandwich! Its a great snack and food during hikes read more

Only had brew coffee here but love and respect they had a few different brews to choose from! Light roast all the way :)

Good stop. Came in for the sandwiches. Chicken philly was quite tasty. Tuna seemed to please as well. Good coffee and some must try bakery items for the next visit. Great service. Great location with some outdoor seating. This is a good stop. read more

Cute coffeehouse in downtown Banff. This shop offers a variety of sandwiches, soups, and baked goods along with a pretty extensive drinks menu. They have standard coffee and tea drinks but also smoothies, frappes, and fancy iced juices. There is a lot of seating inside and outside, plus free WiFi. read more

I had to head to Lake Louise Ski Resort early in the morning and Good Earth was the only coffee shop I could find that was open at 7 AM as I left the hotel. I needed a jolt of caffeine and I really only drink lattes. I ordered an iced one with a pump of English Toffee syrup. It was the right amount of sweetness, creaminess, and coffee flavor. Really one of the best lattes I've had. Thanks Good Earth! read more

My husband and I were looking for a quick bite breakfast place before we head out to a hike. We were going to eat at whitebark but food options did not seem great, so we walked to fire fork and it was more fancy and would take time to make the food so we continued to walk and saw goodearth. They seem to have some sandwiches which they can warm up, so we decided to give it a try. It looked better on display then when served but taste was good. View from outside was amazing. It was reasonably priced and tasty. I would return here and recommend it to everyone. read more

LOVED the coffee here. What I really loved was that you could order a Frappuccino dairy free!!! I got a decaf mocha Frappuccino with oatmilk and it was delicious! My friend ordered the banana oat Frappuccino and didn't care for it but another day he got an iced mocha with SF hazelnut and caramel and loved it. There are pastries marked for gluten free, vegan or dairy free. Unfortunately, there was no pastry that was both gluten and dairy free. My friend got the black cherry chocolate gluten free muffin and he liked it. read more

This coffee shop was right across the street from the bus I was taking to Lake Louise, so it was a convenient stop. I got an iced hazelnut latte with oat milk and it was quite good, but the first initial sip tasted very different from a usual hazelnut latte. Their cups are also so cute. This shop is connected to a hotel gift shop with really cute items so I browsed around there while waiting for my drink. I did come back the next day but the line was way too long, so I left. read more

Good Earth Coffeehouse - Cafe latte - Cafes Near Me - Banff, Alberta

I had an iced matcha that was completely chunky, unmixed, and undrinkable. There was also an asian employee who we watched bare hand multiple pastries while she was setting up the case and putting them into the warmer. no gloves or tongs were used by her- i watched the other male employee continuously use the tongs, it was just her. Absolutely disgusting because we watched her fix her hair and even go into the back and prep some type of berry product and not wash her and come back up to the front and go back to bare handing the pastries. this place needs higher standards!! read more

Great place for quick breakfast. Came here twice for breakfast and had the ham and cheese croissant both times. My friend had the breakfast bowl(?), which she had two days in a row. Highly recommend this place. read more

I really liked this little shop - it was my favorite in the town of Banff and it gets really crowded which tells you they're probably doing something right. They have several breakfast sandwiches and then to-go sandwiches you can take with you on a hike in the parks or exploring, as well as tons of baked goodies like cookies, muffins, scones, etc. We went with a breakfast min-quiche, a ham egg and cheese sandwich, a chocolate banana bread and a coffee walnut muffin. All were good. It took a bit to get our food but it was delicious and warm when it came out and we enjoyed sitting in the bustling shop and people-watching and eating. We also both got Americanos - my new fav - and mine was the seasonal Maple one and was seriously delicious. Great coffee flavor and not too sweet. Highly recommend. read more

Very cute coffee shop! It was nice to have the sunshine come through the windows. Great service. We ordered the bacon and regular breakfast sandwiches, and they were delicious! The Mocha was great .. ruins American coffee for sure! read more

Great place for a soup and sandwich! I tried the fire roasted tomato with cheddar soup and a tuna sandwich with cheese, tomato, and lettuce. The bread on the sandwich was fresh and nicely toasted. The soup definitely hit the spot on this nice snowy day. It's definitely a good place for a quick bite! Service was fast, and there were a lot of seating options. The ambiance was pretty relaxed as people were on their laptops or outside near the fire. read more

Ordered a latte and breakfast bowl. Latte was delicious! Portion of the bowl was small and lacked flavor but was very healthy. Ambience of the cafe is great! read more

Good morning Banff! Perfect spot because it's just right off the gift shop on my hotel. I didn't have to brave the cold or anything to have some decent light brefix. So I walk up,, bark my order and a dark roast FTW. Breakfast Panini With Bacon: The bread, the egg, tomatoes and bacon is just sublime. I can eat this all the time. Which in fact, had it again the next day before hitting the slopes of Lake Louise. The setting is super perfect. Overlooks the skating rink and the mountains. It's well lit with natural lighting. Plus the staff is super nice and friendly. A total pleasant experience. Breakfast was best when starting off here. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day! read more

so overall the foods pretty decent and so is the coffee it's just extremely extremely overpriced. the service is nice but they forgot my brothers breakfast bowl and it took over 20 minutes and repeatedly asking them for it in order for him to get it and by that time we were running late because we had to go to the airport so we ended up just not even getting it at the end with no refund either. we kept telling them it's an order for Emily and even had our receipt. kind of disappointed considering this was our last breakfast in Banff and also our first time ever in Canada. read more

This is a super fun place. Opens early if you want to get started on your snow day! Great selection of coffees and teas, and even better selection of awesome breakfast foods! Fat fluffy croissants, homemade breads, muffins and cookies, and a variety of breakfast foods - paninis, bowls, scrambled and quiche. Great service. read more

Good Earth Cafe is a great place to grab a coffee or a quick bite to eat or get some work done with your laptop! **It is attached to Elk & Avenue hotel but unfortunately does not provide any deals to hotel guests. Although I didn't get any food, I did get hot drinks on a couple different occasions and really enjoyed the coffee beans they used. For all those non dairy milk people like me, they have almond and oat milk options but it costs an extra $1.00. I am used to only paying $0.25-$0.60 for an oat milk substitute so I thought that was quite pricey. On top of that, I was not a fan of their oat milk they use. It was extremely nutty and oily tasting :( The BEST part about this place is their beautiful outdoor seating area! They have a portable fire place on their patio and it's the most perfect place to sit around with a hot drink. Cozy fire + hot drink + brisk weather + beautiful view of the mountains = perfection! read more

Great breakfast options and one of the earliest open during the week! One con is the prices and overly sugary/lacking coffee options. I wish the coffee was better but other that that it's a pretty decent place. read more

Amazingly Convenient - Connected To My Hotel SITREP Spending this extended weekend in the Elk + Avenue hotel meant that at some point or another, I was going to walk right into the Good Earth since it is adjacent to the hotel lobby, and I merely need walk through the hotel gift shop and end up in the Good Earth. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/good-earth-cafe-banff?select=bjMOg-PBbieZPx5nWI83Jg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP The beauty of Good Earth Cafe is being able to mainline their caffiene-products and devouring their delicious savory scones and pastries mere steps away from my hotel room. And just LOOK at these savory tasties! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/good-earth-cafe-banff?select=JJxakc7PC7TMsWu2aJx38w&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w But the sweet sugary ones look amazing too - oh YUM... https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/good-earth-cafe-banff?select=xAKYEwBYYYBWx9fV0SRy_Q&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w WIFI What I love about this is the ability to work in a community setting that allows my friends to come socialize and hang out, without anyone having to suffer how messy I can get my hotel room in a matter of mere hours. THE LOWDOWN Great work space, excellent wifi'ing, and awesome assorted yummies. read more

I had my best latte in Banff at Good Earth. It had an immaculate rich and smooth texture. The latte art was also top notch. There was a minor flaw with the slightest hint of bitterness at top. Otherwise, the latte was perfect. I also went back for a second time. There was a different barista. The latte was not as good. There was more bitterness and the texture was not as thick. In addition, there was no attempt at latte art. Nonetheless, the substance of the drink was there. Consequently, my two lattes at Good Earth were excellent and very good.
