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.

Upon entering the inside was very cozy and felt like a wood cabin and there was not too long of a wait. We decided to get an iced mocha and add hazelnut syrup to it. This was really unique as they have an entire board of syrups that you are able to add ranging from caramel to Irish cream. The coffee was sweet, creamy, and delicious and the flavor was great!

The wait wasn't too long and we had a bus that was coming soon so we quickly placed our orders inside. The decor inside is cozy with some places to sit, so it seems like a nice place to chill. I decided to get an iced coffee with hazelnut syrup added to it, though they have a wide selection of syrups to choose from which I appreciated. They have ones like salted caramel, toffee, honey, irish cream, etc. so there are some interesting ones to choose from to add flavors to your drink. My coffee was pretty good, so I would say they got the job done. Pretty solid coffee spot, if you're in Banff I would recommend it if you want to grab some coffee to-go.

I'm glad I found a smoothie bowl café in Banff. Wish they were open a little later because I would…read moreneed a smoothie bowl for breakfast lunch and dinner. And I don't think I'm the only one because every time I went there, there was a line, always very busy. Tables go quickly. And honestly, the indoor seating area is cramped kind of an awkward layout. I wouldn't recommend eating there, but it is an option. Good vegan selection! Both smoothie bowls and Smoothies were vegan. Smoothie bowls were delicious and very cute. The vegan avocado brownie was too rich for our preference. Carmel Almond bar vegan - my favorite, not too sweet + vegan! The date granola bar was not vegan due to honey, but I already got it and it was pretty good. Coffee lattes very good! Little expensive but hit the spot.

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.

Hi-ya! So we've…read morealways enjoyed hot milk tea. Which is just tea with a little milk and honey/ sugar. Apparently this place had a drink that was similar, called the London Fog. It was so good when you add a little sweetener and their iced matcha was perfect on the warmer day we had it. So well balanced and tasty. The kids had a butter croissant, quiche, and we shared a panini. All were pretty darn good, and the place had a great casual vibe that didn't feel rushed, too busy or cramped. We had drinks here on several days to avoid the sbux (which we love, but wanted something more local feeling). Just a great cafe and service was good, and so was the atmosphere. Clean, lively, and fast service.

Unfortunately, we got there around 10, many of the baked goods are sold out. This is a hidden gem, great food, service and supports local farmers from the tea and coffee served to the flavor in the food.

That's this place. They bake fresh every morning with no leftovers from the day before. We love breakfast food and give this place our very best recommendation. The chef made our breakfast sandwich on the spot. The cinnamon roll which is the size of a small chihuahua was piping hot with icing that was sweet, but not too sweet. Located in an industrial park where you would never expect it!
