Just off the main street, there is a whole new pedestrianized area. We grabbed coffee and pastries. Well worth an explore.

In Banff for a couple of days. Took some time to stroll through the mainstreet area of town. Lots of cute shops and restaurants.
The place was busy, and very hot. I mean super, uncomfortable HOT. My spouse had to wait outside before they overheated. There was a bit of a line, so it took some time to actually place my order.
Lots of yummy looking bakery items. They also were selling some packaged chocolate bars, which looked interesting, so I got a couple of those.
Looking for an unsweetened iced tea, and all they had was made up sweet teas. The suggestion was to get a tea, steep it, and pour it over ice. That was okay, but not as good (or cold) as what might have been cold steeped in a large container.
Not sure if this is a place that I would return to.

Lovely spot to sit and enjoy a coffee , cake or lunch

Great coffee probably best option in Banff. Options for parties good. Would recommend the French toast

Fantastic sandwiches and drinks. Nothing pretentious. You can tell this place is valued and patronaged by the community.

This cafe has the best pastries, yogurt, granola, and fruit compote, and bread of any place we've ever tried. And the coffees were delicious and well prepared as well. Don't miss this local favorite when visiting Banff!

Good vegan options - the vegan focaccia was my go to! The sandwich/ wrap was also good but a bit more expensive.

My family and my friend’s family visited this bakery last Saturday around lunchtime, and unfortunately, it completely ruined our day. While the food itself was good, the service was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. The staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional throughout our visit.
I waited over 40 minutes for our order, which included both food and drinks. When I finally asked about it, they admitted they had forgotten our order — just ours. While I understand that mistakes happen, what shocked me was their attitude. There was no apology, just a cold, “Your order got missed. We will get your order soon.”
When the drinks finally arrived, they were wrong. My kid’s drink was dangerously hot, while my matcha was cold — likely mixed up. I didn’t say anything, trying to be patient. But then things got worse. We were told the bread we had ordered (which was clearly in the display case when we ordered) had been sold to someone else who came in after us. Again, no apology — just a dismissive, “(sigh) We can get you a different one.”
The entire experience was deeply frustrating and disappointing. I couldn’t help but wonder whether this treatment was given to everyone or if it was racially motivated, as we are Asian. Regardless, the staff’s lack of basic courtesy and respect was unacceptable.
This bakery turned what should have been a fun day in Banff into a sour memory. I WILL NEVER GO BACK, and I hope they seriously reconsider how they treat their customers.

We ordered 3 hot drinks and none of them were hot. All the drinks were not even properly warm. Carrot cake was ok and sandwich was tasty and another cake was too sweet for my pallets.

The perfect place after a fabulous day of hiking. Had a tasty toasted sandwich and well deserved rest. Very calm. Enjoy
The cookie and nanaimo bar were pretty tasty. However, the breakfast sandwich and almond french toast pastry were really mediocre, unfortunately. I took two bites and couldn't eat the rest. So many great food options in Banff and I found Whitebark, pizzeria sophia, etc. were better. I was also disappointed that they only had meat options for their soup 3 days in a row. The tables do not get cleaned often.

Damn.
That sammy. With the eggs and bacon jammy. On house-made bread, toasted golden, never clammy. A pepper omlette atop a smoky bacon thrill, Each bite a sunrise - warm, rich, and still.

Food is good beads in the doorway are gross and annoying. So many lips and faces touch those beads.

A few vegan things, a vegan breakfast sandwich and wrap. Tried the vegan wrap and it was alright, pretty simple

I will go to other with short queue, better taste, and more cost efficient.
