We saw the line here on a summer night and decided to endure and you know what, the folks at Cows have it down pat, it went quick and they hustled!!

We waited around 8-10 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. This was my first time trying BeaverTails. We ordered the Classic, Pistachio-Oh, and Mepleh. They came out hot and fresh, and the texture was AMAZING. The edges were perfectly crispy and crunchy, while the middle was soft and chewy. That contrast? So good. All three flavors were delicious, but since we're in Canada, I had to give the Mepleh some extra love.

I love their fig cookies. They are always fresh and delicious. The menu is on a higher price end now, but quality is still good to try sometimes. However service is not good at this location. Girls were rude and not willing to help in friendly manner. Plus our cappuccino was almost cold. The cost is already higher end and if you don't tip 20% or more the girls make faces and don't even respond after that. Not many seats to sit so it's a take away mostly so 20% and above tip doesn't justify specially with that kind of bad service. Will I be there again? Yes just for the fig cookies. Will get coffee somewhere else.

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.

I'm not sure what it is about chocolate and sea salt but replacing caramel with peanut butter was not a concern. It was so good. I got it on a napkin so I could eat as we walked back to our hotel. I suspect I'll be back there trying another bit of chocolate before we leave here.

This particular chocolate shoppe looked promising. They had a reasonably large selection, some looked quite unique and well done. When we stepped in, they offered us a small sample. It was a tasty bit of maple fudge. We ended up getting a couple of large Toffee Peanut Butter Cups. We ate them later, back on the bus, and honestly, they were a bit disappointing. The chocolate was way to thick for my tastes. But the filling itself was good. My suggestion? Spend more time knocking the chocolate out of the molds before letting them set. The staff person who assisted us was super friendly and helpful.

I tried three different items in their dark chocolate and all 3 missed the mark. They aren't labeling the percentage of cacao and it didn't taste like dark chocolate at all. It tasted like straight sugar, no body/depth at all. I also tried their chocolate ice cream and it too lacked flavor of actual chocolate. Very disappointing experience. I actually threw out most of the chocolate. The only one I finished was the dark chocolate with toffee bark, which was saved by the toffee. I would not recommend shopping here if you prefer genuine dark chocolate. Lindt 70% chocolate bars are a million times better.
