“fabulous stop off for a beer and breakfast“

“Amazing place, awesome views love it ❤️❤️“

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

“We start most Sunshine days at Java lift - get to the hill early to avoid traffic and catch the sunrise before the lifts open. Monogram coffee is one of my favourites from Calgary and the drinks are well made and worth the little extra. Delicious & fresh breakfast muffins, sandwiches and pastries. Don't forget to show your season pass for a discount 😀“

“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!“

“Got hot chocolate, barista was so kind, friendly and helpful and remade my partner’s cup of hot chocolate as it cooled down when my partner brought my cup up to me on the m2 level for the view, which barista recommended. View was amazing and hot chocolate was delicious!! Thank you!“

“My wife and I always stay at the Canalta lodge in Banff and the Cafe is fantastic there, amazing coffee and drinks. Thank you to everyone at the Canalta you are amazing people and we appreciate all of your hard work and friendliness. You are truly an amazing group of people“

“It’s a good place, the food is delicious and the coffee is amazing. Also the employees are very kind“

“Had some Bánh Mì (satay beef) and it was nice but had a lot more veg than meat which was disappointing. The fried dumplings I had were great. Mango juice was nice- had some ice in it though which I wasn't expecting but still good.
Price was good.“
