There are maybe 5 or 6 tables inside, most for 2 people, so not a good place for a large group to try to eat in house. Big sign on the wall lists the menu, service was fast and polite. Problem is once you order you wait to pick up, and the service window is at the back, so it gets really crowded. I felt like I was constantly in someone's way, but that could be a me issue! All in all, delicious sandwiches and wraps for a great price.

The Caesar salad was good and exactly how I expected it to be. No complaints. Also the restrooms were clean, which is always appreciated.

I will say the views of Lake Louise from the restaurant are quite lovely. We were seated inside and it was cozy and comfortable. Customer service was excellent, our server, Joe was absolutely wonderful. Joe was very friendly and was able to help us out with our questions, deciding on entrees to order and he checked in occasionally during our lunch. The lunch menu has a fair amount of options for starters and entrees. I was curious about the pasta dish, but thought the cost was a bit high. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and caesar salad (which is made at your table) and it was good. I was not a fan of the seasoning of the chicken but the salad was great. My mom had ordered the fish and chips and was impressed with the portions and the texture and flavor. She enjoyed her entree along with a french onion soup. We also split a key lime tart, which was a good balance of sweet and tart. Overall, a great meal and dining experience. I'd recommend visiting Lakeview Lounge if you're interested in enjoying a delicious, memorable meal with scenic views.

The wait to be seated was about 20 minutes--not bad at all--though the line for to-go orders was even longer. We ordered the herbal tea and the hojicha green tea, and both were absolutely amazing. With over 250 tea options to choose from, there's something for everyone. For food, we got the soup-and-sandwich combo, which came with a hearty vegetable lentil soup and a fresh cucumber cheese sandwich--both delicious. But the real showstopper was the apple crumble... hands down one of the best I've ever had. The chocolate cake was also really good. We did wait another 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order, so if you're in a hurry, this isn't the spot for you. I love that it's locally owned, everything is made fresh in-house, and all the servers are recent grads--such a nice touch. Pro tip: the best way to pay is in Canadian dollars (cash). They'll accept U.S. dollars, but without a conversion rate, you'll end up paying more. Card payments can be risky since the signal up there can be spotty.

Everytime I mentioned to someone we were traveling to Lake Louise they said "oh you have to do the…read moretea house hike!" I made sure to put this in our itinerary as the very first thing we did the morning after waking up at Lake Louise. And lucky for us the hike starts right outside our hotel, the Fairmont. The hike itself is a large trail (which i personally prefer when it comes to hiking) that's pretty much a straight incline up. I can't say i'm all about the straight incline up, but it sure was a good workout. It took us about 1.5 hours to make our way up with a bit of stopping for some gorgeous scenic pics (Lake Mirror was my personal favorite spot). Just when my legs had enough we reached the top where the Lake Agnes Tea House is located. I had to ask the employees how they get to work, which I'm sure they answer a million times a day. They apparently hike up every few days with everything they need for the tea house and then they stay up in little cabins for a few days. Now they must be in amazing shape! There was a line to order at the tea house, but it moved rather quickly. We had some biscuits, which were tasty along with some peach lemonade. Nothing amazing, but think it's more the experience (or vibe as I heard the 15 year old sitting next to us say) that's special. We were told to bring cash because their credit card machine doesn't always work so we did just that, but had no issues paying with a credit card. I was also happy after the long hike to see a restroom up there, which required a little more hiking....and yet another line. Many continue on after the tea house on the beehive trail, which i hear is the hardest part of the hike. My legs were tired and we had to get back for the Lake Morraine shuttle so we hiked down after our biscuits, but the way down was way easier and took us under an hour. Overall, it was a great hike and I"m sure in the future when people tell me they are visiting Lake Louise I will say "oh you have to do the tea house hike!"

It makes sense.) - the baked goods are a bit dry. We had the homemade bread with our soup and the tea biscuits. I preferred the tea biscuits with the strawberry jelly, but in hindsight, I'd stick with the soup and tea. When else can you stop at a tea house mid-hike! Highly recommend the stop.

The remote teahouse with Swiss chalet architecture boasts a picturesque vista of the six glaciers,…read morethe MOST renowned view in the Lake Louise area, in my humble opinion! The tea house was built in the 1920's by Swiss architects with the intention of bringing the European alpine expedition culture to Canada. As such, its purpose for housing and feeding the weary hiker and adventure seeker continues to this day, to an extent. The most direct route to the tea house is nearly a 4 mile one-way journey from the Lake Louise lake shore, or one can pursue the traditional route by traversing through the Lake Agnes Teahouse to the Big Beehive shelter and finally to the Six Glaciers Tea House. This was precisely our route and it was quite the epic 13 mile journey. It is the ULTIMATE tour of the Lake Louise area and very much recommended. The tea house was fully functional upon our visit. They have quite the rustic setup where much of their supply is packed in by mules, but the smell of fresh biscuits wafting through the air is somehow an impressive possibility. Since we still planned on trudging over to the Plain of Six Glaciers lookout to finish out our day, we made a quick stop for the scrumptious Tea Biscuits with Strawberry Jam plus a cup of hot tea (choose from black, house/ non-caffeinated, green, or rooibos). This 'Option 1' Meal Option (Dessert + Drink) was priced at 11.70 CAD. We visited some time around noon on a Saturday and were able to find a seat upstairs without any issue. Someone took our order here. Staff was very efficient despite there being only a couple on duty. The tea biscuits were a delight; big, fluffy and with a decent crust. The hot tea was quite welcomed in the shade where it quickly became chilly. I was a bit worried about paying because nobody takes out CAD when in Canada, but they were somehow equipped to take credit card payments. Some souvenirs were available which were quite unique and felt like a prize especially after making such a grand, epic journey. They were out of hats after we finished eating, but my eye was on the prize with the custom-made Buff featuring a topographical map of the trail and teahouse. If you are able to handle the mileage, this tea house will be the instant highlight of your trip, guaranteed!

The drink was tasty and had a nice lavender flavor, but the sandwich was pretty mediocre and not very tasty. It did help that it was warm and the cheese was mostly melted, but it was almost comparable to an egg McMuffin. Customer service was pleasant and efficient when I visited and they do offer to warm up any breakfast sandwiches that you purchase. They also have limited souvenirs available for purchase, I purchased a basic key chain but I couldn't justify buying a $31 coffee mug.
