    $15 breakfast sandwich
    Misty H.

    Excited to try this place based on reviews, the coffee was ok but my breakfast sandwich was comical. For $15 I received one dried up scrambled egg on dry hard toast. I would've returned it but the line was probably 15-20 deep. Would not recommend.

    Lemon poppyseed loaf, blueberry white chocolate scone, lavender latte, cherry tea

    Really solid coffee shop! It's super cute inside and they have local art/things to buy. They have a good menu selection but we just stopped in for coffee and pastries. The scone was delish- the flavor particularly. Also would recommend a loaf cake- perfectly moist! They don't use homemade coffee flavors, but the coffee itself has a great taste. Their teas are cool too, it's like a fresh homemade concentrate

    Almond croissant and apple pie cinnamon oat tea latte
    Evan C.

    Really nice little cafe with excellent pastries. 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.

    Employees were nice. There was a bit of a wait when we got here. I got the Peppermint Mocha Latte. Coffee taste is strong. The peppermint wasn't enjoyable for me. Not enough sweetness to counteract the bitterness. I would not get this drink again. The latte art is pretty. There's a lot of merch to peruse if you're interested.

    Croissant was amazingly buttery and the sourdough loafs were so fragrant and tasty. I bought one unsliced loaf to take home to the states as a souvenir of sorts but it was so tasty my friends and I tore at it and ate half of it in merely one car ride to Lake Louise. I went back in the afternoon to get a replacement loafs but all the unsliced loafs were already sold it! Lesson learned ~ but I bought a sliced on to take back and it was still tasty. Lines are long but move fast. It's a bit hectic inside during rush hour since space can be cramped but the outdoor seating is good too if you don't mind the magpies stealing your drinks.

    Got breakfast burrito on my way back to Calgary from Banff NP. Food was good and came out really hot. Coffee had no sour flavor which I liked.

    I ordered a flat white, iced latte and coconut cream matcha. All 5/10, busy should not affect quality. Skip the latte and just get pastries. We had the brownie, banana choc muffin and ham / cheese croissant. Average 7.5/10.

    Great place to enjoy coffee and pastries. The breakfast sandwich was ok. Coffee no doubt was awesome. Long lines, but they love quite fast. You'll have to pay for parking so be prepared

    Banana croissant
    Katherine G.

    The line here is long, but it moves at a decent pace. Their items are extensive and kind of pricey, but they do seem very high quality. I tried their banana croissant which looked like a pain suisse. It had fresh banana slices and cream inside, within a nice buttery pastry. It was quite good!

    Good service and great lattes. Got the breakfast sandwich and the bread was so perfectly toasted. Paired perfectly with the softer egg plus the white mocha latte I got. It was a perfect little breakfast for me before I head over to lake louise.

    Chai Latte
    Navdha V.

    Service: sweet, authentic, sincere Ambiance: casual and caring Food: ahhhh so gooooood 1) Chai latte: served in a huge orange cup and saucer. Amazing with a cinnamon-hint 2) Breakfast Sandwich: extremely filling, generous portion of egg, bread was fresh and delightful, with a tomato chutney that wasn't perfect not too sour or sugary. 3) Yogurt, Granola & Berry Compote: Refreshing and light, compote was tart, sweet and fresh tasting, granola crunch was awesome! 4) Cold Pressed Juice: Apple Rhubarb, Lemon, Ginger one: I loveeeeeeee this! We'll be in Banff for a few more days and I'm coming here without family so I can peacefully enjoy everything once again.

    Cappuccino
    Jeremy S.

    Came here for a coffee and breakfast to start off our day in Banff. The pastries here are really amazing! We had a few different varieties, I liked everything from their muffins to their scones. They have a great variety of options and their bread is second to none. The coffee on the other hand was just okay. We got a cappuccino and while it was decent it definitely could have been made a bit better. Still recommend this place. It's a cool cafe with seating inside and outdoors and a good option for breakfast in Banff. Service was good but did forget one of our pastries ln the second visit.

    The white chocolate mocha was not sweet but not too bitter either. I love the latte art. We asked them what their most popular drink was and they said the caramel latte. There's a lot of tables indoors. The staff was very friendly.

It is located in the Town of Banff inside of a building that houses some touring agencies. Tim Hortons is Canada's biggest coffeehouse chain. They serve coffee drinks, donuts, sandwiches, breakfast items and other fast-food items. Today there are Tim Horton locations all over the world. They are known for their Timbits donut holes. Even though this Tim Horton's location is spacious, it had a line out the door. Summer time is peak season for tourism in Banff and of course everyone wants their coffee drink. After being out in the sun all day, I just wanted something cold and got me a Cold Brew coffee. Tim Hortons offers many of your basic espresso drinks that you would find on any coffee house menu. The Original Blend Double Double and Iced Capp are their popular sellers.

During my last trip to Banff, Canada I decided to stop by a Tim Hortons and give it a try and order the iced brown sugar oat milk coffee. This was a decent coffee but definitely did not taste the brown sugar just a hint of sweetness and the coffee was quite watered down which was a let down. Maybe it was the drink I ordered or the location but sadly the coffee was subpar.

We were hoping we would leave within 10 minutes but it took almost 20 minutes. The employee working the front at the time seemed like he was on his first day. He was extremely slow and was not familiar with reading order properly. The breakfast sandwiches were done and sat on the counter for nearly 5 minutes before I had to ask about the rest of the order which was just fries and a drink. I also ordered a paper bag from the kiosk and when I asked where my bag was, he told me to pay for it first. I don't know why he did not look carefully over the receipt so I had to grab the extremely hot food with my hands on account of not knowing how long he would take giving me a bag. This encounter led to our group being late to our 5 am bus to Lake Moraine. Do yourself a favor and go to Tim Hortons the night before and order some food to prevent such a catastrophic morning.

The cafe in the main building seemed to have the machine cocoa and I was looking for the good stuff. The real stuff. Milk and bittersweet chocolate warmed together to create an elixer fit for the gods. SO--I made my way over to the Java Lift to investigate their options and was treated to the most lovely hot cocoa, complete with marshmallows and whipped cream, that my little heart could desire. It was delightful. Everything I wanted and more! I was also a little peckish and the crepes they also offered sounded perfect so I went with the black forest ham and gruyere crepe. A little salty to compliment my sweet cocoa. It was served up in a jiffy and the cheese was perfectly melty, the ham was nice and salty, and the crepe shell was prepared perfectly. Nice and thin and holding the whole thing deliciously together. I actually was so jazzed about it I forgot to take a picture, but it was good! They also have a few sweet crepe options and a couple other savory choices as well. If it's coffee you want, they also have that here (hence the "java" part of its name). It's pretty much a Starbucks counter, without the Starbucks name, but they have all the seasonal drinks they offer in Starbucks stores and they use their beans as well. Service is pleasant as pleasant can be. I chatted with the barista for a while and she was just so friendly. It's a little on the small side, seating wise, although there seems to be a decent turnover and I had no trouble getting a window seat to enjoy the incredible views outside. Would definitely while away some time here in the future should I return.

Even on a Saturday you can find a seat either in the cafe or the hotel lobby. They serve Starbucks "We proudly brew" and a somewhat inflated price. There are a range of pastries and sandwiches available. WE had muffins and they were tasty and fresh. They also have a crepe menu and we noticed many patrons treating themselves to one of those. They looked fantastic and seemed quite popular. Once I saw the crepes, I do admit I had a bit of crepe envy. The line up area has a bad flow but people don't seem to get too competitive which is good. In the main lodge I think a similar line flow would lead to coffee shop brawls. Service is also friendly. Ski Patrol seemed to like to come here on breaks so that says something too. This place probably wouldnt do as well in the real world but when you are stuck on a mountain with throngs of other skiers, it is a bit of a gem.
