I feel like we got lucky to walk right in and order and find a seat. It's quite a small place and got busy right behind us. The Huevos Rancheros were a unique take and delicious. My husband had the veggie omelette and loved it, but said mine was better. But of course, cheese!!! Service with a smile, and a cozy vibe where you share your table with others if needed. read more

First time here. Shocked I've never been since I live in Alberta. Came here Saturday morning for breakfast around 10am. You need to grab yourself menus, any open seat, go to the front and place your order. They'll give you an action figure to keep at your table, it's a cute system. Then they deliver your food. It was pretty busy but we were lucky to only wait about 5 minutes before we got a table. Cute and cozy vibe. I can't recommend the cinnamon bun enough, perfect and soft and not overly sweet since it wasn't smothered in icing. I cannot stress enough to get the huevos rancheros, omggg to die for. The breakfast burrito was also fire. Our little one loved the kids waffle won sausage and a chocolate milk. That with two coffees came to around $65. read more

First time here. It was packed on a Saturday at 10am. You wait in line to place your order then they bring food to the table. The breakfast burrito was delicious, especially with the toasted salsa and cheese on top. The wrap was good as well but didn't quite have the same amazing flavor of the burrito. Wish they would include the lettuce, guac, and sour cream with the wrap. Service was friendly and fast. They have cute merch too (t-shirts & hats). We'd love to try more on the menu! read more

We were looking for a Good place for breakfast and this place satisfied just that. As you enter you have a huge chalk art menu that's pretty neat. You can grab your table then order as well. They have some pretty good breakfast options and coffee and much more. We ended up getting their traditional breakfast with potatoes, 2 eggs and toast and choice of bacon or sausage. We also got an order of the Belgian waffles and they were so delicious and fluffy and so flavorful came with butter and syrup. We got a latte and OJ but it wasn't fresh squeezed but still good. When you order your food you get the coolest toys and figurines (Dinosaurs, Joker) pretty neat instead of your usual numbers or buzzards. They also have these cool flip signs that say please clean me or Sanitized so another person can sit there and they are quick to clean them as well. Very easy going ambiance and the waitresses here and people taking order were very chill and hardworking. There are only a few tables inside but there is a nice outdoor seating outside with umbrellas if you want to chill outside. Their bathrooms were small but very clean and lived their soap selection from Rocky Soap company it's my favorite lemongrass it's been everywhere and a nice touch. Def a great spot to grab a bite to eat. read more

I had a delicious breakfast at the summit cafe and enjoyed my dinning experience immensely. You order at the counter and they give cute figurines to mark your table. The menu has vegan/vegetarian options and they have a full coffee menu. I opted for the veggie omelet which came with potatoes and 2 pieces of buttered toast. My breakfast was amazing! The omelet was packed with a variety of fresh vegetables, the potatoes were perfectly cooked and even the jam was 5 stars. I noted that Canadian condiments don't have high fructose corn syrup in them and I could really taste the difference. The ketchup was so good too! I got a dirty chai latte and one of their big chocolate chip cookies as well. The chai was alright, but I tasted my friends americano and that was really delicious. Our group sat outside and the views were simply breathtaking. If you're in Canmore, you must dine here for an unforgettable feast! read more

I dropped into the Summit because their menu is diverse, always very good and the service is always excellent. I ordered my usual the Burrito Breakfast along with Guatemalan coffee. Portions are always substantial. I love the cozy home feeling you get here. It's like eating in your kitchen or outdoor patio. I am never disappointed. Today's was extra yummy . I must have been extra hungry and I left full and satisfied. Good job Summit staff. See you again real soon read more

SUPER COOL SPOT! This cafe was so cute and I loved that it had character to it. It is a great place to start before heading to Banff for some nature. We came pretty early around opening and noticed that it got crowded pretty quickly on a Saturday morning, so keep that in mind, because this place certainly seems to be popular! FYI - the breakfast and lunch menu are both available all day from what I can recall, which is great. I ended up getting the Grotto bowl (lunch menu item) and my boyfriend ended up getting the Huevos Rancheros (breakfast menu item) and both came out looking like a million bucks. I personally LOVED the Grotto bowl so much and the Tahini-lime dressing that comes with it was unique and amazing to me. I recommend adding a fried egg to make the bowl even better than it already is! The cold brew here was good too and not overly strong. My favorite thing about this restaurant though are the "runners" that they provide you to associate you with your order, which is basically like a "number" that you place on the table at an ordinary restaurant. These "runners" come as random figurines (i.e., dinosaurs, monsters, chickens, etc.) and I find it extremely dorky and cute. Definitely makes the experience more fun! I loved this spot and would totally come again :) read more

The cutest place on earth to get your morning coffee and enjoy brunch. The service was friendly and so was the atmosphere. If I lived in the area, I'd be a frequent customer. My caramel latte was perfect. The lemonade is delicious as can be. The chicken quesadilla was one of the freshest I've ever had. My Dad also said he had the best club sandwich of his life here. Check it out! read more

I enjoyed my Canadian BLT, but other members of my group were very underwhelmed by the huevos rancheros. The hashbrowns were more like American diced potatoes but still tasty. The space is very casual and has great views of the mountains from the outside patio. read more

The food was great. The ordering process was the only aspect that could use improvement. Currently, you order at the main counter and find open seating. With the limited space to spread out, finding an open table with the amount of people ordering food on a continuous basis was stressful. I would have been fine waiting longer to order instead of trying to find seating along with everyone else behind us. Food was great and would return on our next trip to Canmore. read more

Cozy spot, great food, generous portions, efficient service and the nicest staff. Outdoor seating available.

Just love this place. Come here every time we are in Canmore. Food is always delicious. Service is good and you can't beat the view of the mountains while having your breakfast. read more

The food was incredible felt very homey and small town always busy and service is always amazing and service is always amazing

Cute place with a very nice staff. We ate here twice during our stay in Canmore. The huevos rancheros are very good. My kids loved the waffles, which comes with bacon or sausage and a juice. The waffles are small, so if you have older kids, ask to order a double portion without the drinks for a better deal than ordering two kids meals each. I wanted to love the chocolate chip cookie and zebra bat pastries, but I didn't. read more

Recommended by lodge front desk and it is just around the corner. Breakfast with the view of The Rocky Mountains, this is the experience you probably don't have in daily life. Such a peaceful and beautiful view. It will be imprinted in your heart and memory with your loved ones. Food is good and the service is prompt. Canadians are much nicer than their southern neighbor for sure. The air is sweeter as well. read more

Before heading into Banff and Kootenay National Parks, we walked to the Summit Cafe for breakfast. My wife had the traditional breakfast (2 eggs, hash browns and whole wheat sourdough toast) and I had the traditional breakfast (1 scrambled egg, ham and whole wheat sourdough toast). Everything was delicious. We took a raspberry scone with us to share later. By the way, the raspberry scone was also delicious. read more

Agh, this place is so good. I got a croissant breakfast sandwich special and a London fog that tasted like fruity pebbles. They were both so good I wish I could have it everyday for the rest of my life. My wife got a vegetarian breakfast burrito that she says was, "flavorful, filling but not heavy - and the perfect ratio of tortilla to filling." She rarely compliments anything so this is pretty big. Plenty of outside sitting - only issue was there was a lot of wasps! They seem nicer in Canada than Chicago though so we just kinda hung out and they ate my ketchup while I nervously finished my croissant. read more

We visited Summit Café on a return trip from Banff to Calgary following a holiday ski trip and were so pleasantly surprised. Located in an unassuming building in a largely residential area, the vibe in this small café was just as great as the food. Friendly staff, cool music and a clean but eclectic dining area all contributed to a great experience. My family all ordered egg dishes and loved them. Huevos Rancheros and the Amigos both proved delicious and filling. I ordered the breakfast burrito and loved it as well. Fresh ingredients and a generous side of crispy potatoes had me stuffed just the right amount for our travel day. We also enjoyed the delicious coffee from a great selection. We probably won't be back to the Banff area soon, but we highly recommend this hidden gem in Canmore. read more

What a great experience! We were obvious tourists and everyone here made us feel so welcome. They stopped to talk with us and even gave us insight on where to find Santa for my little.

Great quick brunch spot in Canmore a little off the main road. Big menu with sammies, omelettes and brunch favourites like huevos rancheros. Had the Amigos with softly poached eggs and also the Traditional. Both times, the eggs were very well done and a good helping of country style hash browns. Portions are large. Perfect as a pre long hike meal. Quick service, nutritious food and good value! Good attention to cleanliness as an added bonus. All recyclable and disposable containers and cutlery. read more
