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.

Really nice little cafe with excellent pastries…read more I had the almond croissant. Crispy with tons of almonds and a decent almond flavour. The almond paste is to die for - clearly amongst the best. Sweet and rich but not too sweet. Clearly they bake it themselves and it's very substantial. I tried the apple pie cinnamon oat tea latte. Yes the name is a mouthful. It is an amazing drink. Wonderful taste! Good place to stop by and hang out in the morning. Not crowded and people are just hanging out on their laptops etc.

The food here is delicious and priced well…read more Walking in, I immediately noticed the size of the space. It's pretty tiny. There are maybe 5 or 6 tables inside, most for 2 people, so not a good place for a large group to try to eat in house. Big sign on the wall lists the menu, service was fast and polite. Problem is once you order you wait to pick up, and the service window is at the back, so it gets really crowded. I felt like I was constantly in someone's way, but that could be a me issue! All in all, delicious sandwiches and wraps for a great price.

We went here this morning after Lake Louise and it hit the spot. We got 4 sandwiches/wraps…read more Chicken salad, the Houston (pulled pork), Greek wrap and chicken Caesar salad wrap. 2 hot drinks and banana bread. According to my family, all the sandwiches were good choices. I tried my daughter's chai which was perfect. This place is very small but it's good to take out. It was fast too. I read about it and was happy we tried it. Definitely scored an awesome place.

When my bf and I were in Banff we were looking for a good coffee place before catching a bus to go…read moreto 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!

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.

We went to a handful of coffee shops during our visit to Banff. Mountain Folk is the only one I…read morefound worth a second visit. The matcha was was best we found (5/5) and the cappuccino is very tasty. The appears to be a local vibe. Haven't tasted the food options but they are freshly made and others seem to be thoroughly enjoying their choices. Will return once more for our last day.

I got the peanut butter latte and it was very interesting…read more Service - super fast and kind, left our umbrella and they were holding onto it when we remembered and returned an hour later! Drink itself - interesting texture for the peanut butter syrup, wouldn't get it again but did taste high quality.

The food and drinks here are so great... been difficult finding a good cafe spot but safe to say…read morethis place takes the win!

3.5/5; got a 12oz mocha, 6cad, also got the cinnamon roll (6.50) and dulce de leche cronut (4.95)…read more Mocha was fine, jus some caffeine, not a huge coffee person so i cant tell if its good or not. Cinnamon roll and cronut they heated up. Cinnamon roll was gooddd, unique shape, but delish. Cronut was mid to me, choc ganache overpowered it all, some dulce de leche filling inside cronut. I like cronuts that are flaky but this was soggy as expected. Workers werent the nicest or friendliest. Decent coffee spot, have some baked goods or salty stuff too

We visited 2 of the Eclipse Coffee Roaster locations. We prefer the one near Railway Avenue as…read morethere is much more seating, open concept and does not get as crowded as downtown Canmore's location. It was a fun way to start early mornings before a nice hike. Great coffee and a selection of buttery pastries. Plenty of seating. Beautiful interior. Even a play place on the second level! That's right, a little contained area with toys your little ones can use while you sit down to enjoy your warm drink uninterrupted. Fireplace seating was available as well. Highly recommend!

Came and got their lavender latte, pandan croissant, and cardamon bun…read more The lavender latte was really smooth and one of the best lattes I've had. I ordered it with an almond milk substitute. The pandan croissant was really good. A really creative take on a croissant. The cardamon bun was solid. The space is really clean and looks to be a good place to study or hangout. They have second floor seating as well. The workers are friendly and the service was quick.

Honestly, I'd give this place a 6/5 if I could. We hiked there on a Friday and arrived around 1 PM…read morefor lunch. The wait to be seated was about 20 minutes--not bad at all--though the line for to-go orders was even longer. We ordered the herbal tea and the hojicha green tea, and both were absolutely amazing. With over 250 tea options to choose from, there's something for everyone. For food, we got the soup-and-sandwich combo, which came with a hearty vegetable lentil soup and a fresh cucumber cheese sandwich--both delicious. But the real showstopper was the apple crumble... hands down one of the best I've ever had. The chocolate cake was also really good. We did wait another 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order, so if you're in a hurry, this isn't the spot for you. I love that it's locally owned, everything is made fresh in-house, and all the servers are recent grads--such a nice touch. Pro tip: the best way to pay is in Canadian dollars (cash). They'll accept U.S. dollars, but without a conversion rate, you'll end up paying more. Card payments can be risky since the signal up there can be spotty.

Everytime I mentioned to someone we were traveling to Lake Louise they said "oh you have to do the…read moretea house hike!" I made sure to put this in our itinerary as the very first thing we did the morning after waking up at Lake Louise. And lucky for us the hike starts right outside our hotel, the Fairmont. The hike itself is a large trail (which i personally prefer when it comes to hiking) that's pretty much a straight incline up. I can't say i'm all about the straight incline up, but it sure was a good workout. It took us about 1.5 hours to make our way up with a bit of stopping for some gorgeous scenic pics (Lake Mirror was my personal favorite spot). Just when my legs had enough we reached the top where the Lake Agnes Tea House is located. I had to ask the employees how they get to work, which I'm sure they answer a million times a day. They apparently hike up every few days with everything they need for the tea house and then they stay up in little cabins for a few days. Now they must be in amazing shape! There was a line to order at the tea house, but it moved rather quickly. We had some biscuits, which were tasty along with some peach lemonade. Nothing amazing, but think it's more the experience (or vibe as I heard the 15 year old sitting next to us say) that's special. We were told to bring cash because their credit card machine doesn't always work so we did just that, but had no issues paying with a credit card. I was also happy after the long hike to see a restroom up there, which required a little more hiking....and yet another line. Many continue on after the tea house on the beehive trail, which i hear is the hardest part of the hike. My legs were tired and we had to get back for the Lake Morraine shuttle so we hiked down after our biscuits, but the way down was way easier and took us under an hour. Overall, it was a great hike and I"m sure in the future when people tell me they are visiting Lake Louise I will say "oh you have to do the tea house hike!"

Coffee is more than tea. And you couldn't find their menu on Yelp either. I was dumbfounded to pay $65 for 2 small BF dishes . Lesson learned theres a reason why no price anywhere for you to find out afterwards. The owner was friendly but...I would never sit down to anywhere ever again if no prices on the item. You would never thought BF plate is the same as full meal dinner. It's very telling now that I remember you asked each table ( only 4 tables) where they're from. Local or tourist. It's very dishonest & why you don't display prices for your menu anywhere before they order. A-lot more BF restaurants in downtown Banff for half of what you're charging. We wanted to try the local small restaurant out of no where, never crossed our mind it's a robbery highway for a small tiny portion (we're Asian) but grossly inflated price which you know it is that's why you're not putting it anywhere.
