Wow! This was the best coffee I've had in a LONG time! We just grabbed a few things for our bus ride, so they didn't come warm but I scarfed down a delicious ham and cheese croissant (with surprise tomatoes?! OMG they MADE the croissant- perfectly cut the richness, so you could eat the whole thing in one sitting) and a scone. Spinach feta tomato? I think it was. I ate IT the following day on the train as we slowly pulled into Kamloops. I meant to only have a bite to try it but BAM it was gone, and my dinner plans ruined lol. Bath and bed for me! Really great start to my day! I regret not going here again before getting on the train to get more amazing coffee. If you're staying at the Moose, stroll over here in the morning, for joy. read more

Whitebark Cafe - Latte from whitebark cafe - Cafes Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Before hitting the road to Jasper, we stopped at Whitebirch café for our morning caffeine fix. There was quite a line, but the staff was efficient and kept it moving. I ordered my classic iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it was everything I wanted it to be. My husband ordered a classic black coffee and said that it had a nice robust flavor. But the real star of this stop was their ginger carrot cake. We got a slice of the loaf and took it to go. It was divine and I wish we could have come back for more. So if you find yourself in Banff, and looking for a sweet treat, do yourself a favor, and try the ginger carrot cake. read more

Coffee is good, but not as good as Starbucks. Solid service and a nice location to hangout. Star food item is the bacon egg cup. Really unique and tasty hand held breakfast item. Pairs well with the coffee. read more

Whitebark is a great little coffee shop in banff. We went several times on our recent trip! The drinks are good and the ambiance is lovely. The outdoor fireplaces were a great touch. If you go in the morning be prepared to wait in line as most days there was a decent line for coffee! read more

Whitebark Cafe is located in the first floor of Banff Aspen Lodge. I stayed at a hotel a few blocks from here and decided to walk over once morning since this seemed like the only legit coffee joint in the area. I really liked the bright ambiance and the indoor / outdoor seating options. While I really enjoyed the drinks, I think they have a fine selection of pastries, reminiscent of what you'd find at uber famous bakeries in Los Angeles. read more

Nice place, friendly service, for a busy Sunday morning they were pretty quick to get our food/drinks out. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Food was yumm, we had the bacon burrito and the carrot/ginger bread. Also 2 lattes which we both enjoyed. They were not overly sweet so they don't add much to them even ordering a vanilla latte FYI Nice music was playing, seating inside and outside on patio with heaters on. read more

Good coffee, the service, great pastries. Get a latte, the pork and fennel sausage, roll, and bacon and egg egg bites. Full of flavor, they come with great chutneys that are the cherry on top go to cafe here in Banff! read more

Visiting Banff for the week this coffee shop was very close to our hotel. We intended to try other coffee shops throughout the week but only tried one other, because we liked this one so much. We came back every day. Service was quick and kind. The coffee was delicious every time, and there is a really nice offering of baked on site baked goods. Let me tell you about the carrot cake. I am a carrot cake fiend and this was the best I've ever had. Fresh, not dry (or soggy as can sometimes happen when it's too sweet)-this was perfect. The lemon icing really sealed the deal. I am going to try to replicate it at home. I prefer brewed coffee,which was delicious and they allow you to put as much oat milk in as you like-some coffee shops are skimpy on that. And my husband enjoys vanilla lattes. His were also very good. Take it to go or sit in the comfortable seating areas inside or out-can't beat this place! read more

This cafe was highly recommended and it definitely lived up the hype. I enjoyed the coffee but the standout to me was the PORK AND FENNEL SAUSAGE ROLL. I ate it too quickly to take a photo but I wish I had bought another one. The pastry was surprisingly flaky and crisp, and the fennel flavoring really had depth of flavor to the sausage. I will be thinking about it for a long time read more

Fun place to grab a coffee while walking around Banff. I decided to grab their special which was the matcha lavender latte. I love matcha so the lavender balanced out the matcha so well. I saw a bunch of snacks and pastries, but didn't grab any since we were snacking all day. The service was quick and fast. The cafe is located inside a hotel, but they've got their own area for enjoying snacks and drinks. read more

Whitebark Cafe - Matcha lavender latte - Cafes Near Me - Banff, Alberta

Unfortunately they don't serve matcha here, just milk with vanilla syrup. Opt for coffee instead. Otherwise nice place.

Ordered a pork sausage fennel roll with tomato chutney. I think the roll was heated up. It was tasty, especially with the tomato chutney adding a punch of vinegary sweetness. I tried a piece of the poppyseed lemon loaf and it was kind of dry. I also tried a cheddar (apple or bacon?) scone-it was good. read more

Delicious, foamy white mocha and right off the Main Street, pretty fast too for the amount of people who were ahead of us.

It is located in Banff, so it has a good scenery if you choose to dine outside. Menu is very legible and the sizes are appropriately sized. The lounge has couches and is a part of a hotel, I think. Looks very nice. Cashiers speak French but English was no problem. Food was delicious. For the green matcha latte, you need to add sweetener. I usually drink boba drinks at 25-50% sweetness but I think adding no sweetener is a bit much for your a sweet drink enjoyer. I enjoyed it, though. read more

This quaint little coffee cafe is nestled in the Banff Aspen Lodge Hotel surrounded by outdoor fire pits! As soon as you walk into the cafe, the smell of fresh pastries & espresso fill the air! Their in house drink were are heavy duty ceramic mugs which fit the hand perfectly! I ordered a caramel hot chocolate & my sister ordered a tiramisu hot chocolate, both were equally delicious! Everyone was friendly, outgoing, & punctual! We sat outside near one of the fire pits to drink our toasty beverages in front of the snowy mountains! Such a great coffee shop! Enjoy! Cheers! read more

This cafe had plenty of drink and good options. I was traveling with someone who is a vegetarian, but we both wanted to make sure that we got enough protein in the morning before a long day of hiking. There's were plenty of options for them to try. They got a quinoa and mushroom pastry roll, whereas I got the pork and fennel roll. Both came with chutney, which was delicious! The staff were very friendly as well. I definitely recommend this place as a good breakfast option for those looking for a quick bite, especially before some of the other restaurants in a banff open. read more

This is a small cafe located next to our hotel. We stopped by here to grab coffees and lite breakfast. I came here mainly to try the cute little egg cups while my husband got quiche. Both food and coffees were good. They have very minimal bar seating inside and can get very crowded in the mornings. It's a nice place to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee and the view of the mountains. read more

This morning, when my husband and I woke up in our home back in Michigan, I turned to him and said, "why don't we have a coffee shop next door?" You see, we were lucky enough to have Whitebark right next door to our hotel during our trip to Banff and it made sore mornings (lots of hiking. Lots of skiing) a lot more bearable! I liked Whitebark my last trip but now I've come to LOVE it. Every morning either my husband or I would stumble over, grab two large lattes and a smattering of baked goods and take it back to our hotel room as we got ready. The baked goods are amazing. They change daily so we got to sample a wide variety from apple cake to banana strawberry bread, vegan blueberry basil banana bread to triberry muffins. The rotating menu was fun but it was also a total tease when I fell in love with the apple cake and I couldn't have it again! Also delicious? The egg cups. little muffin sized savory bites of bread, bacon and egg. We had those several times during the trip as well. I also LOVED the granola and yogurt parfait and got a bag of the granola to go home on our last day. The coffee is delicious and they have the best hot cocoa in town too. When every ski resort let me down with the watery powdered stuff, Whitebark hooked it up with real melted chocolate. Yes, please! read more

I've enjoyed coming to Whitebark Cafe each time I'm in Banff. It's such a great feeling to be able to sip delicious espresso while taking in the mountain views. Be sure to take your time there and chill in the summertime. They have a great outdoor seating area for humans and pups. Indoor seating is limited to bar seating by the window. My default espresso drink is the cappuccino, and I think Whitebark pulls a delicious cup. I don't recall if they displayed where their beans are roasted, but in this past visit, the roast tastes lighter than what I'm used to. Refreshing change. Friendly service. Seems like they run out of pastries by early afternoon, though. read more

Voted (By Me): "Best Coffee Shop With A View!" SITREP ..and I kid you not, besides having amazing coffee, I could sit on Whitebark's patio and just drink in the vision of beauty that is Banff. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/whitebark-cafe-banff?select=8Ff09u_Lya1q606d5Ew2sQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE SETUP Whitebark was a mere block away from Elk+Avenue, my hotel lodging for my four (4) day stay in Banff. It's amazing how lucky you can be sometimes. When I have to stay in Culver City, CA for work junkets, I have to walk almost a mile just to find a shitty Starbucks, or an even shittier Peets. But *BAM!* Here in Banff, there are soooo many excellent coffee houses, all within a few blocks of where I was staying, including this delicious Whitebark. HOUSE BREWS The house roasts and espressos are a sure bet. I'm not big on fancy lattes nor mochas most of the time this early in the morning - I just want something to wake me up. But it's a bonus when it's GOOD coffee. On this day (that I remembered to take pictures) I got a double-double Guatamalan and even had two toonies to pay for it with. And talk about service with a smile, this sweet barista was awesome the whole time I was in Banff! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/whitebark-cafe-banff?select=PIBtdTTSb_fkJTXGfyZ3lg&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN When coming to Banff, and you need coffee, this should be your 1st stop. read more
