You just have to try it to find out (but also maybe my partner and I just love sweets). We even tried the other beavertails location as a quality check :D The pistachio was my personal favorite, and I would get it again. They were super quick. It's a small place and there's limited seating outside. It's more of a grab and go type of situation. Overall, if this is your first time in Canada, I would recommend.

As we were planning our Canada trip, I wanted to make sure we tried some iconic foods and staples…read morethat are well known here. Beavertails came up and we saw they had shops within Banff, so we decided to try them out after our lunch. They had a flavor called "mEHple" and since maple syrup is also a Canada staple, we figured this would be a good pick. What we didn't notice was the chocolate drizzle that was on top of the maple syrup in the menu photo. The chocolate overwhelmed the entire dessert, and was a bit too much for our group. The pastry was good, crispy and flaky, but we really couldn't get through the entire thing without getting a huge bite of chocolate syrup. I think if they had put less chocolate, or even removed the chocolate altogether and just left the maple syrup, that would've been way better!

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.

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.

Soup Sandwiches to the rescue!!…read more After a day of hiking and exploring in the Mountains, we were tired, sore, and hangry. Noshing throughout the day we were set on a good soup and sandwich combo. We checked multiple locations and either it was high-end foo foo or just more than we want or just worse. It was pub grub and they had one soup and they weren't sure what it was. We found Wild Flour. They offer multiple soups and sandwiches and a few treats. Kathy selected a carrot fennel bowl (massive) and served with fresh bread and butter, I had a meat and cheese grilled cheese on a focaccia bread, Of course we "shar-zies" and the comfort was enjoyed. The team at 630pm was helpful and prompt guided us as we had not eaten at Wild Flour. Good food, reasonably priced for Banff is a find. Go to Wild Flour and enjoy... we did.

Really nice little cafe with excellent pastries…read more I had the almond croissant. Crispy with tons of almonds and a decent almond flavour. The almond paste is to die for - clearly amongst the best. Sweet and rich but not too sweet. Clearly they bake it themselves and it's very substantial. I tried the apple pie cinnamon oat tea latte. Yes the name is a mouthful. It is an amazing drink. Wonderful taste! Good place to stop by and hang out in the morning. Not crowded and people are just hanging out on their laptops etc.

I asked for a sea salt caramel which they didn't have but they did have sea salt peanut butter cups. While sea salt caramels are my go to, I opted to try the peanut butter version. I'm not sure what it is about chocolate and sea salt but replacing caramel with peanut butter was not a concern. It was so good. I got it on a napkin so I could eat as we walked back to our hotel. I suspect I'll be back there trying another bit of chocolate before we leave here.

I dunno if this is a Banff thing but most restaurants celebrate bdays in some way- I didn't see it really celebrated here. We were travelling celebrating a joint birthday my partner and I. We love festive and cheesy. So this was not the place. But cool matches as a restaurant souvenir.

This particular chocolate shoppe looked promising. They had a reasonably large selection, some looked quite unique and well done. When we stepped in, they offered us a small sample. It was a tasty bit of maple fudge. We ended up getting a couple of large Toffee Peanut Butter Cups. We ate them later, back on the bus, and honestly, they were a bit disappointing. The chocolate was way to thick for my tastes. But the filling itself was good. My suggestion? Spend more time knocking the chocolate out of the molds before letting them set. The staff person who assisted us was super friendly and helpful.

I tried three different items in their dark chocolate and all 3 missed the mark. They aren't labeling the percentage of cacao and it didn't taste like dark chocolate at all. It tasted like straight sugar, no body/depth at all. I also tried their chocolate ice cream and it too lacked flavor of actual chocolate. Very disappointing experience. I actually threw out most of the chocolate. The only one I finished was the dark chocolate with toffee bark, which was saved by the toffee. I would not recommend shopping here if you prefer genuine dark chocolate. Lindt 70% chocolate bars are a million times better.
