5 Best Bakeries in Banff

“I regular Wildflour Bakery as I work on Bear Street. Despite usually having to wait a little while in the morning rush, it is always worth it. The staff are friendly and personable, the coffee is fantastic, and the service is always quick despite the volume of customers. Shout out to Garry for being exceptionally friendly, and shout out to the salted double chocolate cookies for being the reason I’ll never take a diet.“

“Everything is freshly made daily including the bread and English muffins used for breakfast items, to the pastries and chai tea, also serve locally brewed coffee! The breakfast sandwich was such a pleasant surprise, it seemed simple at first glance but what a perfect combination of flavors and whatever seasoning was used blew me away. We also got the avocado toast which was elevated with a poached egg, goat cheese, and balsamic on freshly baked sourdough. The homemade chai tea like the owner’s grandma used to make was amazing. I normally don’t drink chai but loved my husband’s so much I had to get my own cup. It’s just a short drive from downtown, we noticed mainly locals and regulars coming in to this husband and wife owned shop. Update: After trying some other breakfast spots in town, nothing can compete with Bare Bistro so we revisited today getting to try to eggs benedict and omelette, the sauce used for the benedict was amazing (homemade of course). We also tried some of the pastries which were all perfectly baked and delicious. We’ve tried just about everything on the menu and haven’t been disappointed in anything. We will be back tomorrow to finish trying everything (mainly pastries left). Very friendly owners and you can tell they take pride in what they do (as they should). Thank you so much Fonda and Alfredo!“

“Love the coffee here <3 Every time we visit Banff, we get coffee here! Great service to boot.“

“I ordered a lavender honey latte and was patiently waiting at one of the window seats. I noticed one of the baristas make a hot drink and set it at the drink stand. She took the drink ticket and placed it on the metal stick where the finished drink tickets go. She then continued to talk to her coworker. No name was called out and I waited a few minutes until I had to go up myself and look at the drink ticket pile to see if it was my drink. I found this odd because prior drinks the barista would call out the persons name.. other than that the lavender honey latte was good“

“Yes, I can recommend Tim Hortens in Banff. Whenever you pass by, jump in and get a French Vanilla. Tastes superb and has a fair price.
The facility itself is not the most elegant, but it looked clean to me, nothing to complain. Will be there next time, for sure.“
