I gotta say this place was just average for us. We were in radium for a night and there aren't a ton of options there. We stopped in here for breakfast as we headed back home. Two ham breakfast sausage, the ham and onion quiche and two coffee came to $34, which wasn't bad. The food wasn't anything spectacular or super flavorful, it was semi bland, wasn't a fan of there lattes either. It'll do the job though, everyone else's review seemed to love it. But like I said radium doesn't have tons of options on the strip. read more

Small and quaint coffee shop in Radium Hot Springs. Canadiana coffee is the best. It's a dark espresso roast and I normally do not order dark but this one tastes great!!! Meat pastry like empanada and lemon cake are also yummy. Lots of food selections and they all look fabulous. I could order the whole menu, seriously!!! read more

Great place to grab a quick bite before you take off to your destination. I went for a coffee early in the morning and saw them making fresh croissants and sandwiches. I went back there before heading out to the hot springs to grab a sandwich and a cookie. Both were great price. Because this is the only place in town that's open early, it gets pretty packed so allow your self some time. read more

Lovely artwork on the walls and a cute outdoor seating area. Highly recommend for a quick breakfast/coffee stop! We ended up going here just about every day during our stay in Radium Hot Springs.

This place serves up really great coffee. The 12 oz latte has two shots of espresso so it's just the right strength for a morning before heading out to do some hiking or continuing out on your drive. The homemade sandwiches look pretty stellar. My friend tried the apple cider. More tart then sweet so if you don't like your drinks overly sweetened or caffeinated this would be a great choice. Breakfast sandwiches and baked treats also available. Love the rustic decor with solid wood table tops and smoothed out tree stumps as stools. Local artists painting adorn the wall. read more

Once we discovered this place, my family of 8 and I ate here every morning. We were big fans of everything we tried--pastries, coffee, quiches, cookies, etc, and stuff got bought up quickly, so everything is very fresh and tasty. I liked being able to see them roll out and decorate cookies right there. They also have healthy food like energy balls, fruit, and kombucha, so if you want to go that route, they have something for everyone. This seemed to be a place for both locals and tourists alike, and the interior was nicely decorated and welcoming. The best part, for us, was the friendly and helpful staff who seemed to genuinely want to talk to us and interact with us. One lady who worked there gave my husband some local fishing tips, which we really appreciated! He caught 5 trout (catch and release) and we had a wonderful day, thanks to her. If you're living or staying in Radium or just passing through, can't go wrong here. read more

Very nice decor. Friendly wait staff. The food is ok ( breakfast English muffin), the Canadiana is FANTASTICA! The hot chocolate not so much- but then most coffee shops suck at HC. The "chocolate croissant" was decent. Not the best, but certainly not the worst I've had. Which is saying something. They do need to learn that it's not a chocolate croissant but "pain au chocolate". If you are going to sell something, at least get the name correct. :-) read more

We spend a lot of time in Radium, especially in the Winter, and Big Horn Cafe is a favorite for us. The savory pies are excellent, with an nice variety available too. We like that they open early enough (0630, I think) to make it convenient for any day, except maybe a true alpine start. Sweet pies and pastries are excellent too. I've also tried the Quiche and it's a nice change up. Soups look good too, and the cafe has a lot of options for such a small footprint. I'm not much of a gluten-free or vegan eater, but they always seem to have that available too if it's your thing. Service is quick and friendly, and if you feel like sitting down to eat, the ambiance is nice, with the place always tidy and comfy, and usually not too crowded. Really, I can't say enough good about the place, and hope they keep it going strong for another 10 years! read more
