    This was a break vegan breakfast spot! We had a vegan burrito and a vegan melt - both of which were…read moredelicious and very filling. The melt stood out to us due to the coconutty flavor but I would order both again! There were plenty of seats available and service was quick. The restaurant itself has a lot of vibrant local jewelry and teas for sale as well! I would rather here again!

    Breakfast/Lunch Stop Worth the Detour…read more I'm a pretty picky eater. Not because I want to be, but because I have to be. I try to eat vegetarian in the morning, and I'm allergic to wheat, which makes dining out a little more complicated than it should be. My boyfriend found this little café outside Banff, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the better food surprises of the trip. We both ordered the Pad Thai -- one loaded with extra protein, one without. I had low expectations. I've eaten enough Thai food to know that about 7 or 8 out of 10 places overcook the noodles. They become soft, mushy, and fall apart the moment you touch them. Not here. The noodles were cooked perfectly -- still chewy with a nice bite. The peanut sauce was another pleasant surprise. It wasn't overly sweet or heavy like many North American versions. The balance was just right. The spice level was mild, which I appreciated because the dish actually tasted like Pad Thai instead of being buried under a mountain of chili. The vegetables were generous, fresh, and plentiful. My boyfriend's chicken portion wasn't huge, but there was plenty of tofu, which made sense since the dish is originally designed as a vegetarian option. The chef seemed to add the chicken as an extra rather than making it the star of the plate. The portion looked manageable when it arrived. It was not. I couldn't finish mine, and my boyfriend had to rescue the remaining noodles. Pad Thai: 4/5 The Vegan Berry Scone was light, not greasy, and not overly sweet. The strawberries and blueberries added little bursts of tartness, and there was a nice oat flavor throughout. My only complaint? It might have been too healthy. A tiny bit more sweetness could have taken it from "good" to "wow." Vegan Berry Scone: 3/5 The Vegan Chocolate Cake was exactly what a chocolate lover would want. Rich dark chocolate flavor without being sugary or overwhelming. It was a little dense and heavy, but in a comforting way that made me keep reaching for another bite. If the cake itself were slightly more moist, it would be nearly perfect. That said, making something both vegan and gluten-free that tastes this good deserves credit. Vegan Chocolate Cake: 4/5 What really impressed me was the overall value. Since the café is outside the main Banff tourist zone, prices are much more reasonable, parking is easy, and they offer a surprisingly large selection of gluten-free and vegan options. For someone like me, who usually spends half the meal interrogating the menu, that alone is worth celebrating. Final Rating: 4/5 Good food, fair prices, easy parking, and plenty of options for people with dietary restrictions. I'd absolutely come back. In fact, if I'm passing through again, I probably won't bother looking for another place.

Coffee is more than tea. And you couldn't find their menu on Yelp either. I was dumbfounded to pay $65 for 2 small BF dishes . Lesson learned theres a reason why no price anywhere for you to find out afterwards. The owner was friendly but...I would never sit down to anywhere ever again if no prices on the item. You would never thought BF plate is the same as full meal dinner. It's very telling now that I remember you asked each table ( only 4 tables) where they're from. Local or tourist. It's very dishonest & why you don't display prices for your menu anywhere before they order. A-lot more BF restaurants in downtown Banff for half of what you're charging. We wanted to try the local small restaurant out of no where, never crossed our mind it's a robbery highway for a small tiny portion (we're Asian) but grossly inflated price which you know it is that's why you're not putting it anywhere.

    We stopped here for breakfast during our last day in Banff and it was the perfect reward after a…read moreweek of early mornings and full days of hiking. The staff welcomed us from the moment we stepped in and explained that everything was made from scratch. Coffee was self serve. My boyfriend ordered a cinnamon bun and the hostess made sure to check if we'd like it heated up. While we enjoyed the gooey bun our main selections were being made. I ordered what was probably the best omelet I've ever had and my boyfriend ordered eggs on toast. Our potatoes were cooked to perfection, and my sourdough bread was topped with herbed butter. In short, exception detail paid to everything, food and service both - a delightful experience all around. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll remember this spot for sure! Plus, parking was super easy since it's not downtown.

    This little cozy café was my first stop after my touring group dropped us off in the Town of Banff…read more It was on our list of recommended places to try. I love coffee and it was a warm day. This was the perfect place for me to stop before I began my stroll around Downtown Banff. Little Wild Coffee & Gelato's menu features fresh pastries, sandwiches and salad bowls in addition to coffee drinks and pastries. I got me an Iced Latte and a Salted Caramel Gelato to walk around town with. The food is prepared daily at their sister establishment, Wild Flour Bakery. The coffee beans are sourced from South America and the gelato comes from Vancouver. It is a nice shop that has both indoor and outdoor seating. Little Wild Coffee & Gelato was a great first stop during my first visit to the Town of Banff.

    I love going to Wild Flower when in Banff. They have opened this second location which is smaller…read moreand have named it Little Wild. So we thought of trying this location. I love their fig cookies. They are always fresh and delicious. The menu is on a higher price end now, but quality is still good to try sometimes. However service is not good at this location. Girls were rude and not willing to help in friendly manner. Plus our cappuccino was almost cold. The cost is already higher end and if you don't tip 20% or more the girls make faces and don't even respond after that. Not many seats to sit so it's a take away mostly so 20% and above tip doesn't justify specially with that kind of bad service. Will I be there again? Yes just for the fig cookies. Will get coffee somewhere else.
