    The Hangover
    Lea S.

    Before setting out to go hiking in Banff, I wanted to carb load up and decided to give this place a try. It's located in the main center of Canmore and has a very small parking lot, maybe 2-3 cars at the most though there is street parking available as well. The establishment is cozy and warm, giving off a homey vibe. You'll have to order up front, then they'll bring you your order when it's ready. They do have water you can grab for yourself to the side as well. I had decided on the Hangover with a Chai latte, while my cousin decided on a frittata. The food came out fairly fast and was surprisingly filling! Even after hiking all morning, we were both still feeling pretty satisfied, so def try out this place for a quick pick-me-up before going out on your adventure. Staff was friendly, and the prices were decent. It's a thumbs up for me!

    a cup of coffee on a saucer

    Then reviews about the coffee don't lie. Coffee is top notch. Plenty of gluten free options as far as food goes. I had the choco peanut butter rice crispy square and the chicken & brie wrap. Both were delicious! Dairy free milk options and yummy condiments to choose from (hot sauce etc)... Bright & cheery location with lots of morning sun. Friendly staff. This is going to be my go-to cafe in Canmore from now on. Wish I had discovered it years ago! Beautiful view of Ha Ling from the window spots :)

    On the side street. Which is quieter. Mountain views. Has a patio. They have wraps, paninis, coffees, and even beer and cider. Friendly staff. Casual ambiance.

    Harvest Cafe is a low key, laid back cafe in the heart of Canmore. They're mainly a soup and sandwich kind of place along with your typical cafe drinks. Menu consists of breakfast wraps/sandwiches and hot/cold beverages. Note, there's a huge water jug with glasses at the front which is self serve. To the side is their lunch offerings which are heartier wraps and sandwiches. They have a small pastry case which has a couple different types of squares, bars and cinnamon buns (only on Saturday). - Biscuits ($0.95) and chewy cookie ($0.60) - we mainly came here to grab after ski drinks (aka. coffee) before heading back home but tried a couple baked goods. The biscuit was dry and tasteless but the chewy cookie was better. I've been here a previous time where we ordered a couple of breakfast wraps before hitting the slopes and wasn't impressed at all. The portions are meager and I remember my hangover wrap ($7.20) as being 90% scrambled egg and tasteless. I took out half the egg and was left with a laughable amount of ingredients. People seem to love this place though as there's been a mini lineup both times that I've visited. If you want to carb load up, then this place is perfect. Otherwise, if you're looking for a tasty place to eat, I'd look elsewhere.

    a sandwich and a cup of cappuccino

    Exactly what I wanted from a cafe. Great wraps and espresso drinks made correctly and well. The avocado in the middle of the sunrise wrap really tied it together. Their espresso is sweet and really palatable, not bitter or overly tangy at all. I called ahead to ask about allergy information and they were very accommodating.

    Curry Chicken Wrap
    Glen B.

    We stopped here because it sounded more interesting than fast food. I ordered the Curry Chicken wrap and my wife ordered the Chicken & Brie wrap. Once they arrived we swapped half with each other (why else get married if not to share food?). My Chicken Curry was tasty but we both thought the Chicken Brie was bland. Overall we enjoyed the quick stop here and felt like we got good value for the dollar and healthy food. I would come back.

    This small restaurant is great for fresh daily baked items , soups, sandwiches, paninis , quiches and frittatas. Simply fresh , well seasoned , delicious basic food. I love their daily soups, the tuna panini with dill mayo and crunchy pickles is so yummy. Sometimes I stop by and order food To go to take on a picnic or take along fly fishing .there is a small patio that's open during warmer months.

    Only on Saturdays.... Their popular, delicious cinnamon buns
    Carrie P.

    Harvest came highly,highly recommended to me from my travel buddy, Sheila. We stopped in at Harvest in hopes to have what Sheila quipped one of their amazing cinnamon buns. It turns out that these cinnamon buns are only served on Saturdays, and locals make a special trip to grab one before they are gone. We were travelling through on Easter's Good Friday on our way to Jasper, and stopped in to grab a coffee to go. And... they had them.... With it being Good Friday, they decided to throw their customer's a bone, and when Sheila and I got there, there were only half a dozen left. So we grabbed two. As we were grabbing our coffees, the woman behind us was ordering two as well. Nice. The cinnamon bun obviously was fresh out of the oven. What a I loved about it, was it was not too sweet, and it had rolled diced apples in it. The icing was amazing as well. It was about 5 minutes of heaven before that cinnamon bun was GONE! Since we were passing through and were in cinnamin bun mode, we did not have lunch there. However, the menu looked healthy and delicious, with many gluten free and vegetarian options. I will definately plan on coming through for lunch then next time I am through. The cinnamin buns... definately stop and make the trip. You will be glad you did.

    Butternut squash soup with chicken & Brie wrap
    Victor P.

    The chicken and Brie lunch wrap was surprisingly filling when paired with a small bowl of butternut squash soup. Atmosphere is uber-casual and laid-back. Fair trade drip organic coffees are self-serve. For a quick bite, A-OK.

    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.

    Favourite late night hang-out spot in Canmore. Great beer selection, really good food and friendly…read moreservice keep bringing me back. Todd, one of the evening servers, is old-school cool. He and the excellent Chicago hot wings make Fergus & Bix worth more than one late night Happy Hour visit. The wings are marinaded, fried, dipped then baked - perfect. I'm a little beer snobby, but my spouse says the in-house Wooden Ship beers are good. Great place to watch sports too. Lots of TVs but not too intrusive if you're not interested. Ambiance is warm and relaxed. Happy Hour offers some nice choices, and is twice per day every day as is the norm in this tourist town. Definitely recommended for folks who want a pleasant adult atmosphere. You also avoid excessively intoxicated and rowdy revellers. They're over at the corner of Rose & Crown and Drake.

    While making a charging stop in Canmore, checked out this restaurant since they had steak, which I…read morewanted for lunch so I could have delicious Alberta beef before heading east. Casual spot where we could sit anywhere. The tables are all raised, so a little awkward, but manageable. Our server was prompt with bringing us menus and water. My brother was also curious about one of the beers, so she brought us a sample. There are half pints available, so perfect for a driver who doesn't want drink too much. My steak came out perfectly medium rare and the mashed was so buttery! Would definitely recommend for anyone who likes good food, drinks, and friendly service.
