Small tables...family of four...you don't have a place to put on table what you ordered...we ordered chocolate cheesecake(it was so dry, you couldn't even slice it with your fork), double chocolate cake(nice taste but you need a vacuum after that one...falling apart), my husband ordered date square(he loved it) but espresso coffee he couldn't even finish it...he said it was bad...one suggestion...if you don't serve food to tables you must have trays to carry the order to your table...I was disappointed...first I went for two cakes, then my husband went for his cake..then I went for juice for kids...not everything was put in the same time..it is a nice cafe but lacks organization and and difficult to navigate though crowd to get what you ordered to your small table..if I had a coffee don't know where would I put it.
My favourite cafe in Banff
The best in town...
Average coffee and average prices. The service was slow but everyone was very friendly. It is in a nice location but is fairly small.
good coffee and wifi, service was really slow.
Really good coffee, even better cookies. Always a nice place to stop for a snack when we visit Banff.
Actually went for tea and a quick spot to sit for a while. Service was excellent. Grabbed a piece or cranberry cheesecake with chai and loved it. Great to have a place with tables a bit more comfortable than most.
Evelyn's is really hit and miss. I've had amazing coffees and really bad coffees. Expect to wait a while to be served during busy periods. Cosy place to relax and catch up with friends.
They were out of a few items first day I tried this place. But overall very exceptional service and friendly staff. ❤️
Great atmosphere. Fun alternative to chain coffee. Open in the evening.
Cosy place in Banff ave to have coffee. Service was good and coffee was fresh.
I have been there with my friend today. We came in an hour before closing and I deffinitely loved that I could enjoy siping my cup till the very last minute before closing with a respectful attitude of the lady who was serving. TY! :)
Great breakfast panini, great yogurt parfait (unique in my experience), and great cappuccino (though I would call it a latte). The ambience is just what I prefer. I cannot criticize a single detail for my tastes, except for some of the hip hop music on the better-than-usual sound system (only occasionally, thankfully).
Amazing potato bacon leek soup. Cozy atmosphere, great staff.
Great place for coffee
Best locally owned coffee shop in Banff!!
Best coffee in Banff
Overall, a great little coffee shop. There's free Wi-Fi and lots of sandwiches and sweets to choose from. The staff couldn't answer my questions about their food, but no big deal. I had a cinnamon brioche and it was delicious!
Great service, quality food and coffee. Wifi works. Awesome atmosphere. May be a bit busy.
Tried black coffee, hot chocolate, maple spice late and cookies, all below expectations :( but good atmosphere ????
very limited spaces
great coffee, tea and baked goods. The wraps and sandwiches are awesome
I tried this place once and it wasn't overly busy but it took forever and the latte was just average
Racist
Drinks are ok but not worth coming back. Ordered this spice veggie roll , it was one of the worst foods i have eaten. You should definitely remove it from the menue.
Very nice coffee, which has been hard to find in Canada!
Awesome employees
Had the regular maple spice latte. It was a good hot beverage for a cool september morning in Banff.
Not very good coffee unfortunately, it wasn’t hot at all
Hospitable people!
Ambience good. Staff friendly. Coffee was decent, but food was pretty poor - apple pie pastry was raw, as were the apples. Toasted sandwich tasted odd, most likely won't be back.
Worst lattes I’ve ever tasted!
Delicious coffee, nice and strong but not bitter. Great friendly service
I seldom give reviews, and I always give the benefit of the doubt. Yesterday I bought a sandwich and square to go. At the time I ordered and paid no one else was in the shop, and there were 3 employees. I assumed I would be handed the two items right away; however, I was made to wait more than 5 minutes, while they served the next customer who had just arrived. He had a simple order. Most of the time the 3 employees were simply standing there, occasionally glancing over at me. I am disappointed because I have fond memories of this business, often picking up a few good quality pastries whenever passing through Banff.
We had coffee twice there. Good coffee and very nice staff. Thank you ????
Best stop in town for coffee with the best cookies. 10/10
Great place to come with friends! Loved it!
Staff were confused when I asked if I could have the contents of a breakfast wrap on a gluten free bagel. I was told they could and then received a bagel and then a wrap.. Looked at me confused and irritated.. It's always fun when you feel like your a hassle even though you are a paying customer...
Excellent service, excellent cappuccino. Cakes where fresh, just wished they weren’t so sweet, WAY too much sugar, like most North American desserts. If only cakes and pastries could be as good as in France, more taste, less sugar!
Found the food to be a little simple for how expensive it was, but the atmosphere and location are great
Amazing! Espressos are a bit on the sour side!
Best coffee in Banff!
Friendly staff, great baking and good drinks! Nice coffee house vibe.
A popular coffee bar in Banff with lots of seating.
Great coffee!
Good coffee
Great espresso
Pricey but good coffee. Fast wifi.
Nice atmosphere, good coffee. Great spot for a quick stop before heading further out into the nature.
Nice place. Slow service
Best apple pie here! Excellent coffee, helpful and friendly stuff.
Really good smoothies, though they are only syrup smoothies. Coffee was good, they have some vegan treats available. The wait was really long on a weekend morning in the summer. They have some merchandise available in store as well. Some of the menu in pictures!
Delicious.
Wonderful hot beverages and delicious baking! You won't regret stopping in.
Nice cozy coffee place. I got the matcha latte which was nice and creamy. My girlfriend got an espresso latte. Their espresso machine was broken so they initially told us they couldnt make that kind of coffee for us and also had to refund other peipke who had got coffee earlier. Later they fixed it so we were able to get the order we wanted. It is a nicer looking coffee place compared to other ones I noticed on the Banff strip. I think they can improve on their prese tation of the coffee though ( cups, latte art, etc.)
Very clean and not too small. The guy was nice. A little pricy. You can get a snack too. Coffee just alright. Good music, relaxing time and away from the cold.
Very sweet place, nice coffee ! The cheesecake is really good too. One of the waitresses speaks French ????
My favourite spot in Banff for a quick coffee, the apple cider is also quite nice
Slowest service I ever saw. Ordered toast and coffee, no butter and had to ask for it from the haughty staff. Watch out when they give back change, its ALWAYS short.
Nice coffee shop, excellent croissants, good coffee (quite unusual in Canada!), but service poor and slow, music too loud, especially for a place with this kind of... atmosphere
Excellent hot chocolate
Great coffee and a lovely cup of tea.
Top notch service and great coffee .
Coffee shop in Banff where you can find variety of drinks, free WiFi, warm ambiance and coffee gifts. You should try cookies that are unique! They also have a great space to be seated while enjoy your hot coffee.
The cute cafe in Banff downtown. Also the very few which gives you a local vibe. Coffee was good ! They have good fall ????options now. Great place to sit down in downtown & plan the lake trips.
Wonderful little coffee shop, the hot chocolate with whip cream is amazing, and the caramel tea is mind blowing. Inside is very cozy, warm, and stylish. They seem to have daily specials for 1$. We got two amazing warmed up chocolate croissants for $1 each, and they are the best we've had of all time. Highly recommended!!
One of the best lattes I’ve ever had! Don’t miss the oatmeal & berry cookies and also banana cake, totally a different and great experience.
Lovely place for coffee and cake after a walk up Tunnel Mountain
This was godsend when I was visiting Banff. Every single morning. Thank you for keeping me alive!
Really lovely spot to grab a cup of coffee. Ended up being my go to spot, whether on the run or wanting a place to relax. Service was always fast and friendly and the area was kept very tidy with the amount of people passing though. Everything I ordered was amazing (especially the hot chocolate!) Would highly recommend!
I can see why some say it's the best coffee shop in the area. Excellent drinks, food and most of all that thing you just can't quite put your finger on.
Starbucks prices for poor drinks and poor attitudes from the staff working here. The frappes cost about $5.50 and taste terrible. They show whip cream in the photos for it but serve different quantities between each order and don't offer the whip cream at all. Better off going McD's.
They have the best cookies in banff!
I have yet to be disappointed with coffee from Evelyn's. An Americano on a cool spring day sitting under clear blue sky... perfection
(Translated) Nice place, friendly staff, free wifi and good coffee (Original) Bel locale, personale cortese, wifi gratuito e buon caffe
This coffee bar had a lot of good reviews. I don't normally drink coffee but it was a wet and cold day in Banff and I decided to check them out. I took one sip of the Mocha and it was amazing. The flavor was perfect for me. Definitely worth giving them a try if you're into coffee.
(Translated) The place is very nice but I ordered a hot chocolate and found it weak. Too much milk and too little chocolate. You can't compare it with the hot chocolates that are taken in Bariloche, which literally comes with a bar of melted chocolate inside the boiling milk. I expected more than a hot chocolate in Banff ... (Original) O lugar é bem legal mas pedi um chocolate quente e achei fraco. Muito leite e pouco chocolate. Não dá pra comparar com os chocolates quentes que se tomam em Bariloche, que vem com literalmente uma barra de chocolate derretido dentro do leite fervendo. Esperava mais de um chocolate quente em Banff...
I stopped here and got a house blend coffee.. totally awesome coffee... I like the decor and the place was packed... I choose to sit outside in the front, just to take it in and enjoy Banff
They have pie. I was all excited and went in and ordered strawberry rhubarb pie and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was decent, but the pie was merely medicore. I'd return here for coffee, but skip the pie. It's nothing to be excited about unfortunately.
If you're looking for a coffee shop in Banff, skip Starbucks and come here! The pastries are so delicious (banana bread and cookies) and the lattes are amazing. I also tried the breakfast sandwich which was so good, the ham in it was awesome. There are washrooms conveniently located in the mall, just a few steps away and there is a decent sized sitting area to drink your coffee. Tables are on the smaller size but it worked for my group of three.
Good vibe
Favourite coffee shop in Banff!
Great coffee shop in Banff. Friendly attentive service.
Good coffee in Banff!
I became Evelyn's Moca addicted : good coffee, good whip cream, good feeling ! And happy to support local owners :-)
Good coffee and service
Their matcha lattes are sooooooo good!!! Also friendly staff! Will come back here again when I’m back in town :)
Great place to stop for a break between shopping. Chai Tea Latte - delicious, & yummy cookies, muffins & more...
The coffee was great and the breakfast sandwich was fresh.
I just LOVE this coffee joint. I venture in here at least once every time I'm in Banff. Delish!
Did not like the drinks we ordered. As well the fruit parfait made me sick.
Great place to get a hot drink
Definitely the best coffee shop in Banff! Excellent attention and everything's delicious ????
Had the dark roast, was decent.
definitely expected more, the wife's hot chocolate was cold and my cappuccino didn't taste like if should. Great and clean environment though
Coffee taste great. Good find in town. Staffs are polite and friendly.
Coffee was excellent. However the food wasn't good at all. Staff lack training. And massive wait
I love how their coffee is simple and not pretentious, plus it's local! You've got to try this!
Delicious mocha ... One of the best ones I ever had!!!!!
Great little coffee house. Free WiFi and good service. Plenty of room to come in and relax.
Great coffee right in the heart of Banff, and sitting at the window you get an excellent view of Mount Rundle to enjoy with your coffee. Staff are real friendly too!
Coffee and treats are decent
Good food poor service. No napkins. The staff need a better laid out work area. Dude was surfing phone while prepping meal. Be prepared for the a line up and a wait if you order food that needs to be heated.
Drove from Edmonton for yummy coffee and cake so worth it Service with a Smile
Cappuccino was not as strong as it is supposed to be. Pecan pie was good though. Durty dishes on the front don't look professional. Service was a bit slow
Nice cosy café advertising itself as Banff's favourite coffee. The staff were very warm and welcoming and the coffee was decent. Definitely recommended if you're in Banff and don't want a super sweet Tim Horton's/Starbucks "coffee"
Best coffee in Banff
I think we annoyed the barista by smiling.
Very good place to drink a cup of coffee and some tea
Brilliant, hospitable, and friendly staff! I come to Banff on many occasions and this is always the stop that I go to. It's a cute little shop and I always look forward to coming back!
Loved the vibe of the store, the ambience, the quirky products that they have. but the staff was not friendly. She had an attitude. She didnt want to suggest anything in the menu. not welcoming at all. Definitely not coming back. The coffee tasted good though.
In addition to really friendly staff, the atmosphere and vibe is great.
Terrible, expensive coffee but the cookies are huge and quite good.
Their regular espresso is advertised as two shots, but they place it in a giant cup, so it only seems to be one shot. Advertised half off pie/cakes, but they charged $3.80 (original price $4.50). The math doesn't add up. There are plenty of coffee shops in town.
Great little cafe on Banff Ave. Always a friendly staff and delicious treats as well as small meals. Though it is usually pretty busy, so be ready for a little wait, but everytime I go they power through the line quickly!
(Translated) Vagan???? 、 I'm milk???? (Original) Vagan????、soy milk????
Better than Starbucks
22 minutes to get a sandwich! Not coming back!
Nice atmosphere, food and coffee is good but a little pricey.
I've been coming here for years. Everything from the cookies, the staff and oh my gosh, the Croissants are always 10/10!!! Definitely my favorite place in town. Highly recommend. :)
The most reasonably priced cafe ever.
(Translated) Cozy and clean (Original) Aconchegante e limpo
Best coffee in town!
Very nice coffee shop. Nice place to hang out and good coffee.
Food is always good, coffee is hot but service is always slow. Staff are mainly non-Canadians (i.e. Australian) who do not understand service. Don't tip (prices are high enough) but enjoy. View is great out the front window.
Descent coffee and okay food. Great location and very friendly staff.
Love visiting here ever time I come too banff lovely place very inviting
Very enjoyable. The vegan blueberry bar was so good! Lots of vegan options if that's your thing.
Good hot chocolate.
Lovely spot with great coffee. Well worth a stop
Cozy spot on the main street. Coffee is pretty strong and dark, they serve into ceramic tea cups if you stay. Big selection of sandwiches. Also coffee beans to buy in bulk avail and lots of coffee mugs and thermos.
Really good drinks, specially coffee. Nice staff, pricey.
Bad espresso (it costs 2.99$) and poor service. The place seems not clean. There's free wifi.
Good coffee, long waiting time even with very few guests
Service was slow but the coffee was delicious and the store is pleasant.
If I could give less than one star I absolutely would. I walked into Evelyn's coffee bar today (October 18) and was browsing at the baked goods before ordering, and was immediately asked for my proof of vaccination. I was told that I need to show proof of vaccination simply to order any product from the coffee shop, despite the fact that I was taking it to go and would not be dining in. I find it absolutely ridiculous that a business would require proof of vaccination simply to sell you a product. Clearly the owner of this establishment is very pro-discrimination and against medical choice. I can only imagine that this would take a toll on your business, and rightfully so. I left without showing any papers on principle alone and I hope others do the same.
Great coffee shop with tender atmosphere, i really enjoyed my stay here
Marini pauw makes a claim that as the owner was denied by AHS to serve takeout to unvaccinated or anyone who does not provide a vaccine pass. This is a lie and a lie designed specifically to segregate customers into 2 groups. The serviceable and the unserviceable. Canadians and more specifically Albertans do not need a vaccine pass to be served takeout from a coffee shop. I find this absolutely appalling to lie to your customers who raise this issue it’s disgusting and unreasonable, treating grown adults like children who can’t think for themselves. I have been inside many places in and around Banff that serve takeout to all respectable people without requiring any sort of vaccine pass. Exactly the same layout coffee shops, so stop the miss-information.
Every time we come to Banff we come here at least once a day! The Best coffee in town!
Delicious chai latte and friendly staff!
Great service and staff and options for coffee. Best oatmeal cookies ever.
Fantastic service coffee and cake! We really enjoyed ourselves Greetings from Alvin & Franziska visiting all the way from Pensacola. Florida
One thing I look forward to every time I am in Banff is stopping at Evelyn's and enjoying their fantastic coffee, delicious food and warm atmosphere. Super friendly staff with thoughtful extras like daily newspapers and games for clients to enjoy make this place feel like a little sliver of home on each visit. We love Evelyn's!!!
Charged twice after realising that I paid for two breakfast muffins. Wouldn't have been so bad if the bacon egg cheese breakfast muffins were not made by Michelin, never eaten something so rubbery ever! Specialized caramelized lattes not as advertised with all the trimmings and fancy glass, these were both just the basic coffee syrup and milk, very dissatisfied. On a plus note the cheese and ham croissant was superb, so not all bad. Just an expensive experience.
Made a stop in Banff to grab a takeout coffee for the road. I don't believe in sharing medical info with anyone other than my doctor, so the "vaccine passports" don't align with my beliefs. However, I understand the "rules" and know I can only get takeout. I was shocked when the barista declined me service because I wouldn't disclose my status before taking my order. Nowhere in AB that I have been to has refused to serve me for anything to go (nor does it say anything of the sort in the restrictions). Update: Saw the owners reply and have reached out to Kori at AHS. These rules are getting ridiculous and should be backed by evidence as they are directly affecting businesses and the frontline workers having to deny service (opening the door for conflict). People can pack a mall on Boxing Day - regardless of their status - but only certain individuals are allowed to order a coffee to go? Based on the response I received from AHS, the owner should be challenging the verdict on who they can and cannot serve as it isn’t consistent with what I’ve seen from other businesses and what they’ve been allowed to do.
Excellent coffee and hot chocolate. I was in hear every night for coffee and apple pie, not bothering with dessert at earlier restaurant as I knew I could get lively apple or fruit pie here. Good WiFi as well.
????????????????????????????????
I always pass through on my way to ski and grab one of their coffees and some breakfast. The service is always quick even on a busy day and the staff always polite. I can highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches which are great to grab and go. Great little cafe with homemade food
(Translated) The Iced cafe latte was delicious. (Original) Iced cafe latte が美味しかったです。
Great coffee, not so great sandwiches.
Coffee & atmosphere is great.
Friendly staff let us in early to keep warm and made some great coffee.
Banff is too good for a place this less than mediocre
Xlarge American please and thank you
Good coffee and a cool place to chill.
My Cappuccino in a ceramic cup (!) was excellent. Forget the famous chain, go for hand made.
Great festive drinks
A nice coffee shop on the main drag. They made me a perfect flat white, apple cider, and mint tea in the visits I made while staying in Banff. Really friendly service provided by folks with Aussie accents. I feel like I'm in Melbourne! Their ginger crackle cookies are huge and delish too!
(Translated) Very well located and fairly busy business. The service is excellent! Soymilk hot chocolate available made with a chocolate syrup containing no dairy products. When we mentioned food allergies to dairy, special attention was paid to our order. The teas and herbal teas come in homemade sachets, which allows you to ask for a less generous portion if you prefer your less strong tea. The caramel rooibos was delicious. The staff speak French and English (I don't know about other languages). Wifi is free. We took advantage of the place to write our postcards. On the negative side: the chairs are uncomfortable and the music is too loud. In such a place, the sound level is already high. Pop music is less popular. (Original) Commerce très bien située et passablement achalandé. Le service est excellent! Chocolat chaud au lait de soya disponible confectionné avec un sirop de chocolat ne contenant aucun produit laitier. Lorsque nous avons mentionné les allergies alimentaires aux produits laitiers, une attention particulière a été portée à notre commande. Les thés et tisanes arrivent en sachets maison, ce qui vous permet de demander une portion moins généreuse si vous préférez votre thé moins fort. Le rooibos au caramel était succulent. Le personnel parle français et anglais (je ne sais pas pour les autres langues). Le Wifi est gratuit. Nous avons profité de l'endroit pour rédiger nos cartes postales. Dans les points négatifs : les chaises sont peu confortables et la musique est trop forte. Dans un tel endroit, le niveau sonore est déjà élevé. La musique pop est moins appréciée.
Beautiful quaint coffee shop in Banff. Very spacious and plenty of beverage and food options. One of my favourite spots!
Evelyn's has been around for so long. I prefer them over other chain brands. Good selection of food and coffee.
Acceptable coffee, but the worst apple pie ever. The irony is I asked what is their signature and they suggested the apple pie. What a disappointment!
Really really cute cafe. Enjoyed sipping on their cappuccino but their carrot cake was a bit tough to finish.
Awesome. The quality of food is too notch. Super tasty pastry, good coffee. Quick stop and go.
Good coffee, fair prices! Great in the morning for a quick breakfast (sun pours in the front windows so it creates a fantastic atmosphere).
Such a cute and cozy place on Banff avenue. The coffee and treats were delicious. The pumpkin pie was amazzzing!
Good coffee shop. But there's better in town. Pastries are average and it's staffed with Australians and young transient workers who don't seem to care too much about their job... Go to White Bark cafe or Wild Flour instead.
Great coffee! Try the quinoa salad.
Good location. Not much else though.
We were Banff for a couple of days and ended up going here every day. The service was super friendly. Great home made baked goods, and lovely drinks. Recommended! Also a nice outdoor patio made it easy to enjoy the sights of Banff.
Really enjoyed our visit to Evelyn's today. Aside from the Ambience and authentic coffee bistro feel, the staff was friendly and the coffee was delicious. We also tried a sandwich and it was delicious. The cranberry oatmeal cookie was huge and just fantastic as well. We were happy to hear that the owner comes in early at 6 am to fresh bake the goods daily. Thats dedication and attention to quality that you can see in their baked goods. There is a great variety in foods and their is some seating inside as well to take a break and unwind and enjoy some great brews. Definitely a great place to stop by in Banff!
Good coffee
Nice place for coffee and some food. They have fresh sandwiches, pies, and cakes.
Unfortunately the visit was VERY dissapointing. I’ve spend a lot of money and got not tasty soup and HORRIBLE apple pie.... Definitely not coming bank again. 3* only because the staff was nice and coffee strong.
Very busy, but for a good reason. It's a great place to go and get some work done.
Great coffee at a great location
We got coffee and asked the attendant for some tap water. She ignored us and walked away
Nice looking and tasting steak and cheese pie. Would prefer loose leaf green tea to bags, but that’s minor. Great ambience and decor (especially the 3D relief globes), friendly service, pleasant views at the window.
Delicious food, good service and reasonable prices for a tourist hot spot.
Great coffee great friendly staff
(Translated) Rocky family coffee drink ... ^^ (Original) 록키 가족 커피 마심...^^
good coffee, nice variety of snacks. Popular place, but with a lot of room to sit and rest.
Five start only because the coffee is so good. The service at the store is par, but worth the wait.
Standard coffee/espresso options; not open very late.
Very slow. Had to remind to fulfill half of my order
Wifi is not working. The wait is way too long. Washroom is gross.
Amazing coffee stop during our bike ride. The chai latte is superb as well as the medium roast.
The coffee was good, our breakfast items quite tasty, and the server was very friendly.
The food was great but the server was terrible. She forgot my order immediately after taking it. She also gave both me and the other people in my group the wrong pastries. No apologies from her. Pretty frustrating experience which overshadowed the food. This was on Sunday July 18 at approximately 12:30.
Good place for coffee
I can see why this is Banff’s favourite cafe. Really nice, fresh food, good coffee and lovely, polite staff
Arguably the smallest espresso shot I've ever recieved. Good food and coffee, fairly pricy though since it's in Banff.
I strongly not recommend Evelyn's Coffee World. We ordered three coffees and one hot chocolate, it's supposed to be hot, but everything came cold and took so logo. The staff was very unfriendly and unhelpful. I'm very disappointed.
Good cappuccino, pretty silent girl making the coffee though .
Great coffee. And you can get pies. ????
fun coffee place
Nice place for coffee
Best white chocolate mocha and chocolate croissant ever. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their patio it’s amazing with stunning views of the cascade mountain.
Awesome coffee wrist service ever. Lineup or the door and only 3 baristas
Love this coffee shop in banff town. Good selections for drinks and food! They have great coffee and tea .Great ambience to chill.
Lovely place!!! This morning I had a delicious breakfast!!!! Please try the Chocolate croissant ????????
Nice sandwich but terribly burnt espresso. Oh and no wifi at either of their two locations in Banff.
Delicious cheap & quick breakfast food options! Coffee was good too and the bakery is awesome!
(Translated) Amazing hot chocolate and very good pastries! (Original) Chocolat chaud incroyable et pâtisseries très bonnes !
Finally a decent Americano.
Tasty coffee, and it's a good place to get some souvenirs for the coffee lover in your life. They also have comfortable seats and games, so you can get out of the cold and relax with friends. You can also order tea or other drinks as well as fresh baked goods. Evelyn's Coffee Bar is a must-see for anyone visiting Banff.
Great ham and pepperoni quiche and mochaccino. The service was good.
(Translated) During my visit to Banff this coffee would be highly recommended and now I can too. The coffee and hot chocolate were very delicious, the conditions were very friendly and the WiFi is stable and fast. All in all great. (Original) Während meines Besuches in Banff würde mir dieses Kaffee wärmstens empfohlen und das kann ich nun auch. Der Kaffee und die heiße Schokolade waren sehr köstlich die Bedingungen sehr freundlich und das WLAN ist stabil schnell. Alles in allem top.
Great place, good coffee
Awesome menu, service and selection
Great cappuccino & scones! Friendly service & fantastic little patio w/ great views.
Nice flat white and cafe latte
This is our go-to for a place to relax with a cup of something hot and tasty goodies to snack on. Nice location, good service and is by far better than the local SB. The only downside is the LOUD obnoxious music. It isn’t café appropriate nor is it conducive to a pleasant atmosphere to visit or get some business done. Trying to drown it out with your own music isn’t even possible. This is the volume they use at a bar, not a coffee shop.
Love Evelyn's! Can always count on them for a good solid drink, I love their matcha quality stuff.
Good lattes and snacks!
Great coffee. Food is hit & miss. Service is awful. I waited 15minutes for a simple order. 1 worker actually worked while the others texted and walked around aimlessly. The coffee is amazing tho! I go back now with lower expectations
Food was a little tasteless but the coffee is amazing
Great atmosphere and fantastic food/drinks. If you're in Banff for a little bit I strongly recommend a breakfast visit.
Very nice and cozy spot , Prices are fair and there are tables available for a sitdown, my only complaint is that they didn't have the option for cold chocolate milk.
Tasty coffee, great service and a cozy spot to people watch while warming up.
Great coffee, desserts and staff.
Busy place! Good coffee and enough seats to cope....oh yes, free WiFi too.
Great Mocha!
Best coffee in Banff.
Good coffee!
Great coffee and breakfast options. Limited seats available outside.
Coffee was not bad.
Excellent coffee, espresso, baked goods and super friendly service. ????????????????????
Love coffee? Baked goods? Awesome people? Step past yr typical coffee place n try Evelyn's. You can thank me later...
Excellent coffe!! The owner is very nice and helpful! ????
Good place for wifi, quick bite and romantic date
Got chai tea latte and pumpkin spice latte today. Flavour and spice wise it was amazing on point!!! Just didn’t give 5 Star because it was not hot enough. Was just lukewarm otherwise it was yummm!!!
Very good coffee
While at our stay in banff, we came here every morning for breakfast and a London fog. The breakfast sandwiches were absolutely melt in your mouth delicious. The outdoor seating was quite nice as well. They have a neat selection of mugs and coffee/tea accessories. Very very polite and kind staff and overall loved coming here each morning before we started our day of adventures.
Huge yummy cookies! Excellent assortment of teas and coffees.
Cute little coffee shop with nice staff but the food is not very good for how expensive they are, drinks are below average and the bakery just taste like dough. Not the worst but I won't go back
Great coffee especially the Cafe mocha
Great selection of coffee and food. Would highly recommend this place for individuals to try since its a local shop instead of drinking the usual Starbucks. Super spacious and can buy merchandise too!
Good place for coffee and breakfast. We went there because it was the only coffee shop open at the early hour of 7am. Their coffee was great and we had a few sandwiches to go for our hike.
Great stop in cold days or just for some warm during brake. Good choice of coffee, tea, hot chocolate and small snacks. Have multiple tables and searing. Some souvenirs as well.
Excellent coffee with good, simple baked goods and sandwiches. Their strawberry rhubarb pie reminds me of grandma.
N8ce atmosphere but not very good coffee. At least what we tried.
Best of Banff! MOCHA CAFE
The drinks were quite good but the service was not very friendly. I was made to feel not welcome with a service dog and when I tried to explain the legislation behind their access to public areas he was said he didn't care. We had planned on staying but felt like we had to leave.
Bit pricey but good coffee
Good coffee, but expensive. Probably one of the go to coffee shops in Banff. Staff is friendly and helpful.
A bit overrated for the selection you get but if you like locally owned coffee shop, it is still your best bet.
Right on the main drag in Banff. Great place for your daily caffeine fix. Check outyourtable before setting your cup down as some are wobbly. Spilled my wife's cup when I sat down. Tasty coffee and good WiFi. Specialty coffees are just that and delicious too. Other food sides available. Restrooms are out the backdoor into the mini-mall and then downstairs.
The food was decent, and the coffee ok, however the service is quite slow (unless you're only getting a black coffee). If you plan on coming here - be prepared to wait!
Can’t even order take out on the phone and it says delivery which they don’t.
Stopped in for a coffee and it was ample
It was nice fast service cool little things in the store. Would not buy food there was flies everywhere
Try the monthly coffee special! Coffee is good but service is very slow :-(
I bought a Trail cookie and a Peanut Butter cookie with my breakfast and they were so hard I couldn’t even take a bite. Coffee was good, cookies ended in the garbage.
My favorite place in banff. Not to big, not to small just perfect. Nice place for just a coffee and a book.
Delicous coffe and tea
Very friendly service and nice cafe. The chai latte had a bit of a weird floral taste to it, but I'd definitely go back to try a different drink.
One of my to go places in banff
Strawberry and Rhubarb pie with gingerbread latte in a little coffee shop in Banff? Heck yeah, would recommend!
(Translated) Delicious coffee! (Original) Riquísimo cafe!
The best coffee and owner and contests.Should open in Oxnard Shores on the beach. Very nice family owns the store.
Friendly service, great coffee, great prices. You really can't beat this coffee bar. I stopped in for a coffee, a bagel with cream cheese and a chocolate croissant. Everything was really good, but I have to say the chocolate croissant was the absolute best croissant I've ever had. Knowing how incredible that croissant was makes me want to go back and try all their baked goods ???? Highly recommend this place.
Stay away frim this place!! staff make you feel unwelcomed as an inconvenience to them, you say ho good evening and they give you attitude !!! On top of it the coffee was somewhat warm as oposed to hot. Not worth it !!!
Average americanos. Pastries are huge, unfortunately not what I was there for. Very busy spot in the middle of town though.
One of the best Lattes that I can remember having anywhere. The coffee that they use is soooo good. My wife doesn't drink dairy so had an Oat milk latte and it was awesome. Can't wait to go back
So nice and warm on a cold day.
(Translated) Best alternative to coffee chains! Friendly service, free WiFi, cozy cafe. Cafe and cake deliciously recommended (Original) Beste Alternative zu Kaffeeketten! Freundlicher Service, freies Wlan, gemütlich cafe. Cafe und Kuchen lecker empfehlenswert
Independent coffee shop with the usual assortment of coffee and pastries. There is a limited selection of sandwiches. The coffee is very flavourful and has been well roasted.
Definitely not as good as Starbucks or second cup.But it's the locals favorite!
Great coffee shop. Good tasty coffee and free WiFi too right on the main street
Cute and cozy place to return to whenever we're in town. Their cheese and ham croissant was really good! The scone was a bit dry. Still love this place though. Service was really good. ????????
Tasty vegan snack bars and Chai latte...but omg, was the service ever ridiculously slow!!!!! I'd like to support local....but you gotta sort that issue out....3 people behind counter....working...hmmm
Food was not good. Very over-priced. Tables were dirty.
Super tasty coffee and customer service was excellent!!!
The coffee is delicious, but I give this shop a 1 star rating due to the horrible service I have received everytime I've been there. I have given it many chances before rating but it just keeps getting worse. The service is awful. Cashiers are rude, unfriendly, and maybe it's due to the fact that they are all foreigners and are here on a work visa and just don't care. It's too bad because this is a busy location in Banff. Nonetheless, I love their latte. Will not go back for a long while, in hopes that the service will improve.
I would come here every day if I could. I had their hot chocolate with Irish cream and it was delicious! Better than I've ever had from Starbucks or Tim Hortons. The staff are amazing and it's a really nice place to sit and relax with your drink or dessert (which are all also amazing!).
It is not really tasty!!!!!!
It is fine but for coffee shop prices you expect better than Tim Horton's coffee and teas.
The service was good and the staff were really friendly. The food and drinks though were very average.
Busy coffee shop with some food
(Translated) Excellent atention (Original) Muy buena atención
It is fantastic, just like the staff and all the people from around the world enjoying life.
Great coffee and food
Not the best espresso in town anymore ????
Nice staff and fast free wi-fi
Good coffee, terrible service
Salmon bagle was awesome!
Great soy coffee, very cool atmosphere. Never did get the free Wi-Fi working.
Best coffee in banff
Great selection of breakfast items. Everything we tried was excellent. Much higher quality food than any other coffee spots in town. Service was great too and the coffee is strong!
Best flat white I've had in Canada. Friendly staff.
Their tuna sandwich yesterday gave me food poisoning, it was the only thing I ate so far that day and couldn’t keep anything down for the rest of it and I’m still struggling this morning. I would stick to their coffee which I heard isn’t that great either.
Beautiful place to sit , catch up on Youtube videos, drinking a great drink and bite to eat ☺☺
Love their coffee! Fun and very friendly staff.
Waited 20 min for order Asked barista where order is. Answered she does not have it. Really? Gave 1 star just because cafe looks nice.
Very good coffee
Bad coffee and very rude staff. The girl got upset to change the cold coffee. Very rude!
(Translated) Yummy (Original) Lecker
Horrible service. Waited 30 mins for my coffee, there was a line up of 10 people behind me and only one person making coffee while the other did dishes. No efficiency or sense of priority. Next time I'll go to Starbucks.
Quiet and class ever good sandwich coffee was fresh and amazing
Nice but slow
My go to coffee shop everytime I stay in Banff. Nice central location on the main strip. Great coffee and very tasty baked goods.
(Translated) very nice cafe (Original) sehr nettes cafe
This coffee is very weak and just not good. Do not go here.
The staff working Wednesday, March 27 went above and beyond to ensure my last meal and friendly experience in Banff was as incredible as every single moment spent in that beautiful town!
Friendly staff great coffee Xl is infant xl
Food was great, I got a London fog, espresso and veggie sandwich. My sandwich I got right away but I waited awhile for my hot drinks. Service was the issue. When I went to the bar and asked if they had my order the barista told me “oh I made that ages ago and called your name 3 times your stuff is cold”. I was sitting in the shop waiting to hear my name but is is crowded and they have loud music playing so I could not hear. Thankfully she remade my drinks which I so appreciate. But, you should assume if a customer has paid >$20 for their order they want their food. Seems like a bad system for getting food to their guests. Working in food and bev myself I hunt down guests who don’t come for their order.
WiFi, people (2) good. Service poor, very slow, only 2 people working. Waited 20 min for 2 Americanos, Pastry. Americano was too weak, warm (not hot), re-name it Canadiano (more like Tea, Canadians like tea like Britons?). Mis-leading sign..."Best Coffee in Banff". Will not be suckered-in by the sign, next time.
Great staff, great coffee and delicious treat!
Love their capuccino and croissant with ham and cheese!
Delicious coffee. I buy several bags whenever I'm in town.
Super rude, super slow cafe with food mot so great. Sorry!
Best coffee in town hands down with friendly staff. Almost everything here is home made and the cookies are MASSIVE and to die for especially the double chocolate and yogurt chocolate chip. The owner was happy to help me out and choose coffee beans to take home to México. It’s really unfortunate to see these negative reviews in regards to vaccination passports when the owner is just following the rules. I can see how hard she works and I know that having a business during covid and keeping it afloat is extremely difficult. I will come back every time I visit Banff and tell all my friends to do the same. Thanks Marini & staff for always being so inviting and making me feel welcome every time I went for my morning coffee and pastry during my stay in Banff.
Great latte & delicious pastry! Maybe one of the best I’ve ever tried.
Not the best coffee shop in town.
Good atmosphere and service. Friendly faces. Unfortunately nothing we ordered was up to par. Couple different hot drinks and pastries. Not many other local coffee options in Banff so we might try again in the future. Hopefully it's better next time.
My wife wanted to stop here on our way past town. Must be good!
Would never eat here again, waited 20 minutes for a coffee and wrap. Got a moldy wrap from here, when brought it their attention they tried to blame the guacamole until they looked at it. Traded it for a gross looking sandwich. Never ended up getting the coffee I just left.
I was fortunate enough to be raised in Banff, with that being said I was able to experience Evelyn’s Coffee Bar throughout various stages of my life. Even after having moved away and coming back to visit for the holidays, I would always look forward to grabbing a coffee or a homemade pastry. My particular favorites are the cranberry cheesecake and their wonderfully thick oatmeal cranberry cookie which are to die for! (They’re also their most popular cookie, I even remember eating them during my childhood, haha!) They also make amazing sandwiches in the morning and are available throughout the day such as their roast chicken sandwich with red grapes. To accompany the sandwiches especially on a chilly winter day, I enjoy a bowl of their daily homemade soups. Also if you’re organizing an event or work meeting with your colleagues, they offer catering services. Ask the service staff about the options that they offer. Everybody will be thanking you later. ;) What makes this coffee shop so great is their prime location, the coffee merchandise that they sell like the different roasts you can buy by the pound. Evelyn’s has an amazing Swiss Water Decaffeinated Dark Roast which is quite heavenly and helps with the late night coffee cravings. Haha. They’re located in the true heart of downtown Banff, if you’re on your own or with a friend you can sit by the window and people watch as tourists wander the town. They also have a great selection of seats in the cafe where one can catch up easily on chapter or two of the book that you’re reading or messages while you’re on vacation. What’s really nice too is that they’re open fairly late but please make sure to check their hours since it might change a little after posting this review. If you’re unable to come back to Banff for another visit. Fret not! You’ll still be able to experience the love and warmth of Evelyn’s Coffee from the comfort of your own home and bring the magic of Banff inside your house.
Great coffee
Great coffee and delicious breakfast sandwiches
A nice place for a latte.
Bad staff.. rude and super slow :(((
We love visiting Evelyn’s on our visits to Banff. The staff are amazing, the food and coffee are fab. The place is clean and very inviting! Can’t wait until we are back again!!!
Had a very delicious strawberry smoothie here. My only regret is it's too early to try a piece of that delicious looking pecan pie. #LifeRegrets
Great coffee, wonderful baking, friendly service
Really nice cafe with classy interior. Love the cheese cake.
Great atmosphere once you pass the Health ID shakedown. Staff bluntly demands your paperwork, health ID before saying hello while glaring at you. I wasn’t sure if they were already mad at me for getting my QR code. Recommend entering with papers and ID visible as I guess you’re a health threat until confirmed. Hopefully that makes it a better experience. I thought it was a pleasant atmosphere to spend having lunch and tea. -Hi, not sure how to reply to a reply. Yes today. Monday early afternoon. Thanks.

(Translated) Good but pricey. (Original) Goed maar prijzig.
Good coffee, a little bit too expensive
I went at 730 and closed. Needs to update hours on Google stating that they are open at 8. Parking is impossible in Banff and spent 10 min finding a spot and dodging snow plows. I came back today Dec 16 and thanks to the quick response from the owner that was completely out of there control someone calling in sick. 2nd chance so I went to do takeout as I had my dog outside. All the shops I have been into including McDonald's no proof of vaccine. I heard rave reviews on the cookies among other products. I came in and would not serve me without proof of vaccine which I had and left in the hotel room. Absolutely shocked on this policy as previously mentioned no stores or Mcdonald needed proof of vaccine to shop or do takeout. I have friends coming down to Banff for Christmas and messaged them to find another coffee shop. Unfortunately not even worth 1 star, google is generous.
The hot chocolate was very good, one of the best I have had! Very smooth, rich, and creamy!
Absolutely love the lattes at Evelyn’s! We make a point to stop in whenever we’re in Banff, or even just driving in that general direction. Had the apple pie today, and it was great.
Very relaxed, great coffee
The coffee was bland and the cake was dry.
Tasty treats (cranberry oatmeal cookie!) and good drinks. Great name too ????
Always a great place to stop for coffee and a snack. Stagg are very friendly.
Cozy place with coffee and sandwiches.. Price is reasonable, a coffee and sandwich is around $10+- They sell some merchandize like mugs, shirts, hats, etc..
Wow what a great place to go. Very friendly fun great service and the COFFEE was freaking amazing
Not sure if the coffee was worth the +15 min wait....and it wasn't that busy! Plus, we got a cookie that was dry and crumbly; clearly past its prime. Disappointing visit from this usual Banff staple.
I went for the first time while visiting with my friend. We both loved the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Their peach smoothie was to die for and their pastries were delicious. I will definitely go back and tell my friends who visit to go. Don't even bother with big chains; support local! This place was worth it. :)
Lovely drink and cake we liked it a lot. Very busy and took a while to get served but wasn't an issue.
Quite good coffee, but the service is really bad.
(Translated) Good cappucino (Original) Goede cappucino
nothing special....... my coffee was a little sour imo...... probably because i ask for a light roast.

You're better off walking down the street to Little Wild coffee. Don't bother wasting time and money here. Cashier was slow and rude causing a long wait, staff behind the counter were a lot friendlier.. they should have swapped her out with anyone of them. Not worth the effort for mediocre coffee.
This was the worst latte I have ever had. I asked for a pumpkin spiced latte and they gave me something that tasted like dirt. I left right away with my to go cup because I was in a rush and didn’t taste it until I got to the car. I wish I had tried it before I left so I could ask them to remake it or reimburse me. Gross and would never recommend or go back.
No trip to Banff is complete until I've had my Evelyn's coffee.
Comfy place, lots of nice beverages and whatnot. Great service.
Venue of choice every morning for a great coffee and a bite to eat.
Yummy
Great service and great food. Would highly recommend as a place to grab a quick bite
(Translated) Nice cafe in the heart of Banff! The cake tasted good and the coffee was plentiful and strong. It was quite crowded so we sat in the hallway behind the cafe, which was fine. (Original) Nettes Café im Herzen von Banff! Der Kuchen hat uns gut geschmeckt und der Kaffee war reichlich und stark. Es war recht voll dort, deswegen saßen wir auf dem Gang hinter dem Café, was jedoch in Ordnung war.
Great, why a poor score???
Great tasting coffee!! A bit slow but there were only two people working. Maybe they’re understaffed
Best cookie and tea for a good price ! Plus, free wifi and good atmosphere.
An awesome coffee shop that knows how to make a good latte. Do yourself a favour and try it out...You're welcome ????
Great service. Definitely try the apple pie. Relatively cozy space.
May have to wait for a bit for your order to be ready. Great Cafe Mocha.
Been 2 banff a couple of times.and evelyns is a cool place for great coffee and people watch.
Good coffee, food and service!
We ordered a soy latte but they served us a chai latte. In the end they changed our order and gave us a soy latte. We were thus happy!
Nice quiet spot for a wonderful cup of coffee amid the hustle of Banff.
Friendly staff and a delicious iced mocha.
Good coffee
Great cappuccino and panini, lovely staff. They misheard my order and fixed it quickly without complaint.
Cosy and welcoming coffee shop with gorgeous coffee and cakes very reasonably priced and free wifi
Good coffee and ambient. The people is really nice and friendly. Definitely we will be back ????????
The coffee is OK. Everything else is bad, very bad: no service, not clean, horrible music with a constant noise, extreme waiting time (standing at the counter), no trays to carry the order to your table. Even the wifi hardly works. Staff is doing iets best, but lacks training and experience.
(Translated) Very disappointing. Slow . Permanently faults (Original) Tres décevant. Lent . Des fautes en permanence
Rude owner, mediocre and overpriced coffee.
The staff was very sweet. They did forget to use non-dairy creamer in my partners coffee so had to remake that and the breakfast sandwiches we got were only ok. Did enjoy the sit down area they offer with wifi and world maps on the wall to have fun looking at. Bought some coffee beans to bring back as a souvenir though because coffee they do well.
(Translated) A lovely place, with good cappuccino and excellent pastries, cakes, muffins, etc. (Original) Un sitio precioso, con buen café capuchino y excelentes pasteles, tartas, muffins, etc.
The shop is located on Banff Avenue right in the middle of the action so it's very convenient for a quick bite to eat or to relax with a cup of great coffee and one of their excellent giant cookies.
Nice coffee
I stop in at Evelyn's every time I'm in Banff. Great coffee and a great atmosphere
First visit in the shop was a 50/50 experience. Great coffee, good selection and prices. Customer service however was very poor. An older lady took my order with a rude demeanor and I waited 15 minutes for a slice of cheesecake, after following up with them about it. Wasn't busy nor was it a difficult order. Management needs to upgrade their staff and improve their quality of customer service. As a Banff local I am unimpressed.
Great coffee and service!
