I am on vacation here for 1 week and was in need of a prescription, the pharmacist prescribed it for me immediately and it was ready within 20 minutes. After I picked it up, I wanted to have the prescription changed to a different medication and he did it no problem while we were still in the store. I am very thankful for their kindness and flexibility, it made a difference in my trip here in Canada and saved me a lot of headache and pain.

Anyone who knows me well - knows how much I adore grocery stores. Grabbing a wonky cart, or dirty…read morehand basket to peruse aisles full of colorfully packaged products - brings me soooooo much joy. I have spent many a birthday or anniversary at a local Grocery Outlet or favorite Health Food Store, Forget Disneyland - grocery stores are where the real magic happens. And Rusticana is one such blessed spot. We had just arrived in Canada in the late evening and I wasn't having much luck at two bigger grocery stores in Calgary. There was a staleness about them. They didn't feel right. And so driving through Canmore - my husband suggested I see if there were any grocery/health stores open in the area. It was nearing 11 in the evening and most of the area was quiet. I was surprised to see that there was indeed one darling store open - Rusticana. I had a good feeling - the moment I read its name aloud - and proudly announced to my husband: "This is the one." We pulled up and I ran out. It was close to their closing time, but the kind man behind the counter smiled at me and encouraged me to look around. The place was beautifully curated with magical grocery gems everywhere. I kept on ooohing and aahing down every aisle. There was non dairy milk, specialty fresh meats, freshly baked goods, and soooo much more. There was so much goodness packed into such a cute space. I could have spent hours in Rusticana - but I quickly grabbed some fun finds and made my way to the counter to pay. Pure happiness beamed from my face. We went to many other grocery stores throughout our time in Canada - but none spoke to me quite the same way that lovely Rusticana did. If you're in the area and looking for a treat - stop in here. Trust.

This store has everything groceries, specialty foods, magazines, lottery, ice cream, bakery products, specialty meats, Beaver Tails daily from 10am to 10pm, Rusty's Liquor Daily 11am to 11pm.

Summers are extremely busy and lineups are common and in the winter the store still attracts many locals and visitors. Their prices are quite reasonable.

Well, when a town gives you only two grocery store options and both are terrible, it is obvious…read morethey are taking full advantage of that. Prices are outrageous and clearly designed to squeeze every possible dollar out of locals and tourists alike. The food selection is just as bad. Almost nothing healthy. Everything is loaded with dextrose, monosodium glutamate, and so called natural flavors that are anything but natural. To make it even worse, they charge an extra 0.25 to 0.50 per bag at checkout, which feels like a slap in the face after already being gouged. This place is an absolute insult and a joke. They should be ashamed of themselves. Tourists coming to Banff are essentially being robbed at the grocery store, and it is hard to believe there is no oversight. Do your shopping before you get to Banff. This place gets a -50 star review.

I don't know what they dip it in but it almost tasted like butter and maple syrup, YUM. The exterior of the cronut was crispy and the inside soft, oozing with butter. Don't skip the gigantic brownie. It was so rich and melted in our mouths. I forgot how many different kind of chocolates was in there but it was super chocolatey! I also grabbed a bag of the chocolate chip cookies. Also delicious! The blueberry pastry that looked like a toaster strudel was a bit dry. Would be great with coffee though, I bet. There were many other options, we wish we had more space in our stomach to try everything. The grocery side was clean. Small space but had most things you might need like snacks and Canadian/lcoal frozen ready to eat meals!

I put my overpriced cashews back on the shelf and explained that not washing hands and using the wash room was not a good policy.

I am reaching out to Annette Bronsch, Manager and will update this if this discriminatory policy is changed.

I've been a resident, weekender and seasonal Canmore person so I've always been glad they are there. I think I switched when Marra's closed? The good: Nutters has almost everything you could want in the both the organic & restrictive diet realm (and over the years, I've gone from Vegan to Paleo and crosses in between). The bad: They don't get enough traffic for me to trust their bulk items anymore. I've had more moldy bulk items over the years than I care to think about. I guess they are expensive too but it seemed worth it just to have them there. I've always tried to shop here to show my support for their business but after today, I give up. I always seem to have to go to the bathroom and they will never let me. When I was pregnant, I almost didn't make it and abandoned my stuff. FFWD 4 years to today; I had to leave my cart and take my 4 year old to the courthouse to use the toilet. I came back bc I couldn't bear starting again, but I'm not doing it anymore. I will use Safeway, farmers market and on-line. It is just too inconvenient to shop for a family there when you have to travel and drag your kids around for the toilet. I just have way less time and patience now that I'm a mom.
