We went here this morning after Lake Louise and it hit the spot. We got 4 sandwiches/wraps…read more Chicken salad, the Houston (pulled pork), Greek wrap and chicken Caesar salad wrap. 2 hot drinks and banana bread. According to my family, all the sandwiches were good choices. I tried my daughter's chai which was perfect. This place is very small but it's good to take out. It was fast too. I read about it and was happy we tried it. Definitely scored an awesome place.

The food here is delicious and priced well…read more Walking in, I immediately noticed the size of the space. It's pretty tiny. There are maybe 5 or 6 tables inside, most for 2 people, so not a good place for a large group to try to eat in house. Big sign on the wall lists the menu, service was fast and polite. Problem is once you order you wait to pick up, and the service window is at the back, so it gets really crowded. I felt like I was constantly in someone's way, but that could be a me issue! All in all, delicious sandwiches and wraps for a great price.

What a UNIQUE experience!…read more The good: - you're getting warm tea and soup on a HIKE. that's pretty cool. - the environment is awesome. No electricity, wooden porch... it's a vibe. - the staff are so lovely. They are warm and personable, and they freaking climb a mountain to work every day. - the soup (vegetarian chili) and tea were so good on a cold and rainy day. - they take credit card and have a small gift shop The okay - they were out of a lot of stuff (but again... they're relying on people to hike or helicopter their supplies. It makes sense.) - the baked goods are a bit dry. We had the homemade bread with our soup and the tea biscuits. I preferred the tea biscuits with the strawberry jelly, but in hindsight, I'd stick with the soup and tea. When else can you stop at a tea house mid-hike! Highly recommend the stop.

He made recommendations when asked. He was personable, and prompt. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with a side Caesar salad. Both were delicious. The Buffalo chicken wrap had the right amount of chicken and it was evenly distributed throughout the wrap along with the other ingredients. The Caesar salad was good and exactly how I expected it to be. No complaints. Also the restrooms were clean, which is always appreciated.

Honestly, I'd give this place a 6/5 if I could. We hiked there on a Friday and arrived around 1 PM…read morefor lunch. The wait to be seated was about 20 minutes--not bad at all--though the line for to-go orders was even longer. We ordered the herbal tea and the hojicha green tea, and both were absolutely amazing. With over 250 tea options to choose from, there's something for everyone. For food, we got the soup-and-sandwich combo, which came with a hearty vegetable lentil soup and a fresh cucumber cheese sandwich--both delicious. But the real showstopper was the apple crumble... hands down one of the best I've ever had. The chocolate cake was also really good. We did wait another 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order, so if you're in a hurry, this isn't the spot for you. I love that it's locally owned, everything is made fresh in-house, and all the servers are recent grads--such a nice touch. Pro tip: the best way to pay is in Canadian dollars (cash). They'll accept U.S. dollars, but without a conversion rate, you'll end up paying more. Card payments can be risky since the signal up there can be spotty.

Everytime I mentioned to someone we were traveling to Lake Louise they said "oh you have to do the…read moretea house hike!" I made sure to put this in our itinerary as the very first thing we did the morning after waking up at Lake Louise. And lucky for us the hike starts right outside our hotel, the Fairmont. The hike itself is a large trail (which i personally prefer when it comes to hiking) that's pretty much a straight incline up. I can't say i'm all about the straight incline up, but it sure was a good workout. It took us about 1.5 hours to make our way up with a bit of stopping for some gorgeous scenic pics (Lake Mirror was my personal favorite spot). Just when my legs had enough we reached the top where the Lake Agnes Tea House is located. I had to ask the employees how they get to work, which I'm sure they answer a million times a day. They apparently hike up every few days with everything they need for the tea house and then they stay up in little cabins for a few days. Now they must be in amazing shape! There was a line to order at the tea house, but it moved rather quickly. We had some biscuits, which were tasty along with some peach lemonade. Nothing amazing, but think it's more the experience (or vibe as I heard the 15 year old sitting next to us say) that's special. We were told to bring cash because their credit card machine doesn't always work so we did just that, but had no issues paying with a credit card. I was also happy after the long hike to see a restroom up there, which required a little more hiking....and yet another line. Many continue on after the tea house on the beehive trail, which i hear is the hardest part of the hike. My legs were tired and we had to get back for the Lake Morraine shuttle so we hiked down after our biscuits, but the way down was way easier and took us under an hour. Overall, it was a great hike and I"m sure in the future when people tell me they are visiting Lake Louise I will say "oh you have to do the tea house hike!"
