Coffee is great, but staffing could be boosted during peak hours. Wait is often long.
This little gem was just one block from our accomodation. Visited twice on our 3 days in Banff. Had to call in on our way out of town for one last fix. If you enjoy tasty fresh food for a great price then this is also for you. Lovely staff.
Good coffee and tasty treats
Coffee and English muffins
Cosy and modern little café with enough on the menu and some interesting food. The service was friendly even if the coffee took a while since it's just one guy making them all. There's a bar to sit at with an outside view or a few couches inside in the next room which I think is the lobby of a hotel. Would return to try the food :)
This place is amazing! We've stopped here twice now and are not disappointed ☕???? Their Almond Chai Lattes are delicious and they got fresh GF Vegan Muffins right as we walked in! ???? Never tried Banana Mango muffins and these were absolutely delightful! Lots of Vegan Options, Great Latte Options, Super Friendly Staff!
I rarely pass this place without ordering their hot chocolate :D
Good coffee
I highly recommend this place. I've lived in Canada 15 years now, and the other half of my life before that I lived in Colombia, the land of amazing coffee. Here at White Bark, Siri, a kind and personable barista, made me the best latte I have ever had in recent memory. Two thumbs up to Siri and White Bark!
The baked stuff like scones and cheesecake are good. The coffees are even better! They open early and great location so it’s one of the best places for an early cup of coffee. Prices are fairly reasonable too. Stylish little cafe that is well worth visiting in Banff
Best shop in Banff no question. A must stop for all your specialty coffee needs
Tasty pastries, ok coffee, and they don’t do refills. Would recommend having some sort of drip refill system in place.
Good coffee shop with nice vegan or gluten free options.
Loved the coffee! Best I've had in the Rockies
Excellent coffee!
Staff is sorta useless on some days.
Great coffee by Aussie standards
Reasonably priced coffee, for Banff. Friendly staff. Pretty small shop during the winter, needs more seating but is good for a quick order to go
Great food. Every thing very fresh.
Not much seating in this little place, but coffee was good. I took a pic after drinking it, so try not to judge it. The lemon bar was really good. The kids didn't like the hot chocolate ... (it was too real I think. They are used to carnation instant hot chocolate. Sigh..). They did love the banana bread and brownie though.
Service
Best coffee in town.
Great Americano . Great staff and service. Sadly they do what most coffee shops do. You place your hand on the lid over the opening where I'm going to put my mouth. Please stop this. Or don't close the lid.
My favorite coffee shop in Banff! We went twice and would've gone more if we'd been able to stay in Banff longer! I had a mocha, which was delicious, my boyfriend got chai which he also liked. Their yogurt and berries with granola is locally made- it was so delicious and a great value! Perfect place for breakfast or a mid-afternoon pick-me-up.
Amazing coffee!!!
Great tasting coffee, dark roast is my choice. Indoor seating is limited but there is a lounge just inside that belongs to a hotel.
Really loved the food. Many vegan options.
Great coffee & large patio but the sweets were disappointing. Don’t get the pecan cookie & you’ll have a perfect experience! (stale, dry, just tasted like a block of sugar)
Repeat customer. It was so good last year on our ski break, that we went again. Sweet and savory options to got with your excellent cappuccino
Very quick and friendly service. Has heated outdoor seating as well as comfy indoor seating. Food and drink quality is always consistent Gets busy fairly early in the morning, go early as some baked goods/breakfast items can sell out
best coffee in banff by far. Not only my vote, but all the australians in town too
My Fav coffee shop in town! Never too crowded, always amazing coffee and food ????
Loved visiting this cafe during my visit to Banff. Coffee was the best around and the staff were all so friendly!
My wife's favourite coffee spot, ever! We stop whenever we're in Banff!
As one who has visited Banff a lot, this is the best bang for your buck option! $4.50 for a 16oz Americano can't be beat anywhere else in Banff. This place fills your drink right to the top of you know what I mean. Not like other establishments that fill your cup half way for $6+. Grab some granola too! A must try!
Hip & local little spot, divine coffee, sweet girls working there and even sweeter pastries to grab as a snack.
The staff is always awesome. Best coffee in Banff. The focacia is to DIE for, deserts (especially the brownie and cheesecake) are incredible. It's pretty expensive but that's Banff for you.
Get yourself a real coffee and a great slice and muffin selection alongside
Good coffee - bad frittatas.
The best coffee in Banff
Veggie and vegan options available.
Good food good coffee poor service. The cashier was a bit rude. After I got my coffee I noticed that the cashier hadn't gotten my food but I wasnt sure. So I asked if it was maybe in the heater. She said yes. Then proceeded after to get it. She could have just said she forgot instead of straight up lying. Then because I needed to catch a bus I simply asked if she could give it to me as I was worried about missing the bus. As she still had not given me the 2nd item I had ordered. I thanked her but it she appeared so annoyed at having to do this. In fact her face was clearly irritated.
Great coffee, NEEDS more edibles...
Outstanding choices other than mediocre drip coffee. Would be more pleasant if an adult rather than ski junkies were hired. Limited seating, except in summer
Really good coffee, decent service, just okay pastries. I'd try it again.
Ordered a cappuccino and it tasted terrible. It was extremely bitter and sour, likely due to a bad extraction. At least it woke me up...
Cute little place. Nice patio. Staff were less than mediocre and not attentive. Excellent hot chocolate and okay baked goods.
Terrific service. A nice Americano.
I was looking for the best coffee in Banff. I asked at the Moose Hotel, they said Whitebark. I thought they are biased so I went for supper. The restaurant we stopped at said "Whitebark". They were mad I thought. I asked random strangers, six to be in fact, they all said "Whitebark". So as we headed out of town to trek back to Cowtown, we stopped at Whitebark. A nice gentleman took my order and filled me with delicious bean juice aka. coffee. I added a small amount of cream and sugar, heresy to coffee enthusiasts, necessary to stay awake driving back to Cowtown after a relaxing spa day. Easily the best coffee in Banff! If you want fantastic coffee, nuanced and not the burnt weak coffee roasts of other chains this was THE stop. Downside was the sole fact I have to travel to Banff to enjoy but it's a great reason to go.
Good iced coffee and sweet potato loaf
Best coffee in town, hands down - take it from me, I am a coffee snob! Granola bars are also out of this world.
We stopped of both days we were in Banff to grab some cakes/snacks for hiking. Everything we bought was really good but the banana bread with chocolate chunks was a star if they have it.
Nice upscale coffee place in Banff. Would benefit from a larger seating area.
Good for Banff.
My favourite coffee place in Banff and a good spot for client meetings as well—it's only a shame it's not bigger! Delicious selection of savoury quiches and pastries, and coffee is always excellent.
(Translated) The coffee is delicious and smooth. Lemon bar is sour and delicious. There is very little indoor space and it is very cold outdoors in winter. (Original) 咖啡好喝、順口。檸檬bar酸香好吃。 室內位置很少,冬天戶外很冷。
Silky smooth lattes served quickly by friendly staff. Reasonably priced coffees as well. Large latte for 5 bucks is excellent. Also got the locals loyalty card because I kept showing up twice a day.
Loved the coffee. Buying a bag of beans gets you a free drink, which was awesome. Thanks for the great cortado and flat white! It's attached to a hotel that is under construction, but the cafe is still open through construction... And COVID
Good coffee and tasty sweets. Friendly staff and a nice area to be in. I would definitely come back.
Great coffee, fairly quick.
Great coffee and treats, friendly staff, nice atmosphere! Best cafe patio in Banff!
Not impressed. Ordered a latte-just as the barista handed it to me she spilled a large amount out. I assumed she would just remake it, as this place is pricy and I would assume it would be common practice. Instead she said she would fix it and added steamed milk and handed it over. Now I’m drinking a cup of hot milk.
Cold latte was good. Tried a baked poppy seed cake. A bit too sweet for my taste.
Always a great place to stop get your morning brew
Delicious Cappuccino ????
Great serves the best coffee ever I would recommend this place everyday
Definitely no recommendation when it comes to good coffee. I didn’t even finish my espresso.
Great service, good food, and great homemade bread.
Awesome coffee and small bites! They make the best lattes in Banff. Small interior with limited seating, so this is more of a "grab and go" spot. Tasty quiche for breakfast, though!
Lovely ladies that served with a smile. Their granola was very good and commendable. Coffee is also not bad. It is a small coffee shop with outdoor seating during good days. Be prepared to wait in the morning as the line can get long. But they always were good natured despite being busy.
Service is unfriendly (which is really weird because every place generally in this part of Canada was so very friendly). The muffin was dry (and a bit stale). Hot Chocolate was made using water and not great. Seating is awkward as it's connected to the hotel. Drinks took forever!
I had high hopes for my first visit. I had heard great things. But the espresso was bitter and milk over stretched to the point of being sour. Possibly, a one off, but not a great first impression.
Average coffee shop at nice location
Cute little place. Very popular and busy. Nice staff.
New favorite coffee spot in Banff. Fantastic coffee. Amazing pastries. They also have some great lunch pairings as well.
(Translated) A small, warm and delicious local cafe restaurant. (Original) 아담하고 따뜻하고 맛좋은 로컬 카페 맛집.
Love this cute coffee shop! Their breakfast cup is so delicious. Highly recommended!
Good little coffee shop. Cappuccino was excellent. Food was good, but the selection is limited.
Rare coffee place with pastries as good as they look
Great place to get a coffee to go.
good coffee, convenient location. not a large selection of snacks and food though. but would come back for the coffee.
Great view of the mountains. Good espresso. Huge food portions. Favorite café in Banff so far.
Great coffee- tasty muffins.
Located at the quiet end of banff town, this lovely cafe offers reasonably priced, good-portioned, delicious food!
One of the best place for coffee in Banff. Their cookies/pastries are mediocre though.
Absolutely fell in love with the interior decor. Such a nice spot for date or photos to be taken. The cafe has a small menu but the frittata and the quinoa salad is definitely worth it. We ended up getting the Mocha and brownie which were perfect. The service was amazing. Definitely a great spot to relax at after walking around in Banff town.
Amazing mocha. Busy. A bit of a wait but with it.
Awesome and French speaking.
My favourite spot
Good Coffee !
(Translated) There are juices that kids can drink, and the latte is delicious. Mocha is similar to Starbucks. (Original) 아이들이 마시기 좋은 쥬스가 있고, 라떼가 맛있어요.모카는 스타벅스랑 비슷해요.
Great coffee and snacks! I recommend the scones! It was crowded but we expected that, it being summer in Banff. Great staff and atmosphere and plenty of seating.
Service was friendly & fast. I ordered a peanutbutter cookie, which was fantastic. I also ordered a medium roast coffee.. I didn't enjoy the coffee.
Super cute breakfast cafe located inside Banff Aspen Lodge. Love that they take reusable containers (eg. Thermos cups for your coffee). They have a variety of breakfast options like frittata, baked goods (sweet and savory). They also have a small dining space for dine in if you choose to.
Good coffee and food
Delicious food and coffee and a gorgeous view
Meal type
Best coffee in town!
Decent coffee. Very few menu items, so don't expect to have an actual meal. Very busy in the morning.
Dine in
Great coffee, lovelier people!
Best coffee in town
You need to open another location :) show Canmore how it's done..
Breakfast with a view!???? love it!
Nice place in Banff to warm up with a espresso or other nice coffee. They use a La Marzocco machine. Also great pastries like cookies.
Yummy proper coffee
Superb Latte. Excellent patio area. Good people. A place to visit each time your in Banff.
Nice views, friendly service.
They make a really good cup of coffee, either drip or espresso based. Also grabbed a couple of streamers for the kids... kinda wished it was mine it was so good. The cookies were tasty too.
Place is nice. They have big patio service is fast. They serve not only coffee but they have also food or soup/salad.
Great cafe and chill vibes
Fantastic Mocha... Loved the sausage roll and the biscuit... The sourdough was good too and the butter served with it was delicious...
Best coffee in town...how did I take this long to find good coffee in Banff 10/10
Friendly staff,great service,reasonable prices
Best coffee in Banff!
Excellent coffee, friendly staff. We did mostly lattes and they were perfect everytime .
Good coffee. Lots of staff
Great place to pick up coffee and pastry in the morning; coffee was great and the raspberry muffin delicious
Best soy latte in Banff ????☕
Best coffee in Banff. The cheesecake is do die for. Lots of great baked goods and super yummy yogurt parfait.
The staff is so friendly and the coffee is great! You can tell everyone is having a ball there. Got a free coffee with a coffee bag purchase! Classy and clean but laid back and comfortable atmosphere.
It's a small place with 6 seats indside and lots of outdoor seating. Coffee is way too bitter for me.
Breakfast
The yogurt parfait is as good as I've ever tasted! My wife loved their coffee, too. A very good little breakfast / coffee spot in the heart of Banff.
Good coffee, good food, mediocre service.
Really good tasting coffee ! Loved the Americano Misto.
True blue sausage roll, delicious coffee, quaint interior and quick service for on try go to the ski hills.
The Aspen Breakfast Tea and Strawberry-Rhubarb muffin were delicious.
Best coffee in Banff. L-o-v-e their cappuccinos.
Carrot and ginger loaf was amazing.
Stopped in at least once a day on my four day stay in Banff. Coffee was great. The baked goods were a hit and miss for me but for the most part pretty happy with what I got. Super nice staff. Always busy.
I buy an espresso macchiato everytime I come here. Everytime it is flawless and delicious. Not many cafes can get this right so I give a 5 star recommendation. One of the best cafes in Banff for sure.
Amazing Latte's ! Very busy especially during the weekends however , Great quick service ! Very cute Outdoor patio !
Muffin was good tea was brewed to correct temp, london fog a bit too sweet
Great latte and snacks
Professionnal, competent and courteous staff. The coffee is really good, probably the best in Banff, but it's nothing compared to their hot chocolate. A must !
Great coffee and cookie. Can't complaint
Very good, a great change from the normal chain coffee.
Great coffee!
Nice cafe
Small and cozy. Amazing scones, and frittata. Best for to-go situations due to limited seating.
Great coffee and amazing baking! Reasonable prices too. They’re open early if you need to hit the road to beat the crowds on the trails! Definitely my go-to cafe in Banff!
Nice place to visit
Nice little cafe, good coffee and the snacks hit the spot. Inside is bar seating along a window and there are a few small tables out front
Arguably the best coffee shop in the Bow Valley. Highly recommended, and you can buy their beans for your own quality home made coffee.
Lovely cafe in Banff. Would be nice if there were more tables and chairs. Best coffee in town!
One of the best coffee shops in town, and nicely located just outside the busiest part of town, giving you a more relax feel.
If you’re looking for craft coffee in Banff you gotta go here. This place is great. They serve coffee from North Vancouver and they do it right!
Rude staff
Came here for breakfast. Their date slice and their flat whites are top notch. However, their rhubarb and almond muffin contained only a homeopathic quantity rhubarb (think the scene from casino with the blueberry muffins). Also despite being able to order immediately, it took a full 10 minute for them to make my coffee, not good for a place that is primarily serving take out customers.
Best capaccino I ever had, 4 stars only because you'll probably not find a place to sit
Great location, outdoor and indoor seating. Friendly staff, seems to attract a lot of locals. The house made pound cakes are very tasty. Ample selection of sandwiches for both breakfast and lunch.
Quality cup of coffee. Attentive and prompt service. The frittata was good, not outstanding. Very good chocolate pecan cookies. The bread served with the frittata was chewy and a bit dense.
Went to this cafe twice for light snack & coffee. Impressed with their unique, tasty vegan options & coffee. Found prices reasonable for the food & drink types. Service & hours were great. A little gem in Banff
Beautiful corner coffee shop and open early, big plus for Banff and for those that like to get out of bed early, beautiful patio and stunning view. Coffee is good and they have a good selection of sweet and savoury alike. Very local.....
(Translated) What did you eat ...? I can not remember. However, my Australian friend said that she sold the best hot chocolate in Canada. (Original) 뭐 먹었지..? 기억은안나요. 근데 호주친구가 캐나다에서 그나마 제일 마실만한 핫초콜릿을 판다고 했다.
Friendly and tea was hot! Perfect on a beautiful day!
Super friendly and fast staff, yummy coffee, and delicious treats
Beautiful drinks, try the matcha tea latte with oat milk and vanilla!
Great place, great food and coffee and great service
Delicious coffee and snacks
This has only espresso based drinks with a very hipster vibe. Not very many seats but it seemed super busy at 10am
Nice little coffee shop and bakery with great variety. I enjoyed my machiato. I wouldn't recommend the banana chocolate muffins -- tasted a little too strongly of baking soda. Otherwise a great little spot.
Got the chai tea latte, soup and foccacia. Was delicious. Our tour guide on one of our tours said it was the best coffee in Banff. Definitely check it out.
Food was good. Nice change from. Regular coffee shops. Great coffee. I usually like mine a bit stronger, however the taste is great.
(Translated) Very nice and good coffee, perfect setting for resting, working, sofa and armchair as well as table and chair. Very bright space, entrance of a hotel also it can have a little traffic. (Original) Très beau et bon café, cadre parfait pour se reposer, travailler, canapé et fauteuil tout comme table et chaise. Espace très lumineux, entrée d’un hôtel également il peut avoir un peu de passage.
(Translated) One day is coffee, one day is spo~ Food and coffee were okay, and the lively and warm atmosphere was good~♡ (Original) 하루는 커피 하루는 스푸~ 음식, 커피도 괜찮았고,, 활기차고 따뜻한 분위기가 좋았다~♡
Very nice cakes
Mmmmm, sausage roll
Great coffee, friendly staff but most importantly the coffee is great!
We were looking for a place in town with wifi and outlets to settle down and do some work. This place delivered just that with some delicious and plentiful food and drink options. Seating is limited to the bar by the window but customers come and go quickly so you're sure to get a spot eventually. The place got super packed during the morning and afternoon rushes, but that was fine with us. The bathrooms for customers were in the adjoining hotel lobby and were a lil fancy! We stayed pretty much the whole day! Great place.
(Translated) Banff's restaurant! The coffee is delicious, and the side dish of cheeseburger pizza is also recommended. I'll come again ^^ (Original) 뱀프의 맛집!! 커피도 맛나고 사이드메뉴인 치즈버거 피자같이 생긴 계란찜과 오믈렛의 중간 맛의 프리타타도 강추!! 또 올께요^^
Great coffee and treats! Great prices too. 10/10!
It definitely makes the top 3 coffee shops in the Bow Valley. The coffee was great, the food had colour, ,flavour and you could take your drinks and snacks outside into the sun. Only problem, maybe not enough seating if you have a larger group.
Great latte and nice quiet spot at the end of the hustle and bustle of Banff Ave
One of the few places to grab a good latte within Banff. Small, but a great place to grab some pastries or quiches in the morning.
Really cute spot, hip vibe, great espresso, and nice selection of snacks and sandwiches. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options too.
Best latte I've had.
Best place in Banff for a Cappuccino or Latte. Make sure to get your coffee to stay for the full experience.
Chai latte and Frittata with Quinoa salad were delicious
Not only the best cafe in the town but one of the best cafes ever!! I wish they had one in Toronto. The espresso they use is really tasty and the make the absolute tasty cappuccino. You can also purchase the beans. They also have sweet and savoury snacks with rotating menu, so every day you can try a new flavours and snacks. The chocolate muffin and blueberry banana bread are from heaven.
After we ordered, we asked where the restrooms were. The manager told us that they were closed for renovation. We then saw a sign with other customers going to the restroom. They were open with signage on how to get there. We felt very unwelcome by this place and the manager. Many other coffee shops in Banff, dont come here.
Great coffee place and amazing cookies and cheesecake. Will go again tomorrow for more.
(Translated) Had coffee and cheesecake, which was really good. It's a pity I couldn't take a picture of the coffee and cheesecake.. The leftovers I ate... (Original) 커피와 치즈케익을 먹었는데, 정말 괜찮았음. 미처 커피와 치즈케익 사진을 찍지 못해서 아쉬움.. 다 먹어버린 잔상들…
It was good.
Good coffee, but a warning to anyone else with a soy allergy - there is definitely soy in some of their baking and it is not labelled to indicate such. In hindsight I understand that I should have asked and the onus is on me, but I imagine many others might also not expect for a standard muffin to contain soy. Only posting to save others some suffering - the muffin was tasty at least haha.
Just quickly stopped on our way out of the town. Staff was friendly, had coffees and got their banana bread with chocolate chips and a blueberry muffin, both were bery yummy.
Great food and espresso!
Excellent Americanos! Great tasting Lattes
Best coffee in Banff
We stopped in for a cup of specialty coffee. Had a vanilla latte. I like my coffee hot. This was barely even warm. I drank it in about 3 minutes. Was so disappointed.
Local and friendly environment
Consistent and delicious drinks with amazing staff.
Great matche latte and customer service. I would suggest going earlier because some of the items on the menu are sold out already by lunch time such as the soup of the day & breakfast cup. But overall great experience and hangout spot. I would suggest tourist to try these locals coffee shops instead of the usual Starbucks.
Great caffe!!!!
Lovely place
Best latte that I have had in Banff. The espresso they made seemed like a lighter roast. I really liked it!
Cute little cafe. Coffee and tea is made well, didn't try the food but it smells good. The staff like to have their own personal conversations with each other, instead of patrons but other than that it's a decent little place for a quick stop.
Excellent cappuccino and banana bread. Home away from home for home baristas :-)
Great coffee & tea selection & great pastry & breakfast! For our weekend trip we came here twice and was not disappointed. The frittata has egg & veggies evently spread out through each bite, and even the salad that came with it tasted fantastic. I would also recommend the lemon bar & the salty scone. A great place to come for a quick coffee & breakfast before going on your Banff adventure for the day!
Truly the best Americano in Banff with super friendly staff
Not the cheapest place for a coffee but the space is neat
We are super disappointed with this establishment. We ordered our products, drinks and food to consume on the spot, we presented our proofs of vaccination, then after paying, the staff asked us to consume on the terrace outside with a temporary -20 ° by indicating that the places inside are reserved for the customers of the hotel only. This is not indicated at the entrance and dishonest on their part.
Best coffees, americanos and in house made scones and pastries, quiche n salads served by a most awesome staff, great patio...best unknown place in Banff
Focaccia was good! It comes w salad :) also we had the corn soup, it was rich and creamy. It's conveniently located at the hotel lobby of Banff Aspen Lodge. Would def go back!
Cappuccino was excellent! Staff are efficient and friendly
Best local coffee shop in Banff. Amazing coffee and really friendly staff. Recommend trying one of their muffins as well!
Awesome sunny patio. Highly recommend getting hot chocolate with 2 shots of espresso ☕
Prices a bit high, but good coffee.
Busy, but the girls behind the counter got people through efficiently. The coffee and tea are good (their chai mix is a little sweet for my taste), but it was also the best cheesecake I've ever had.
Great coffee, best in town and baked goods are incredible. Line can be long, so give yourself a extra few minutes, it's worth it! Limited seating inside but tons outside.
Good coffee ☕
Best coffee bar none in Banff. Well priced and so delicious. They are my morning ritual when I'm in town.
Really surprised by how good the food was. Nice barristas as well who have a great attitude.
Great tasting coffee and Muffins
Great coffee! 5/5
My favourite coffee place in Banff. I have to stop by when I'm in town. I always get the mocha. Super tasty and not too sweet. Only thing I didn't like was how long it would take for them to make it even though there's no line up.
A short walk from downtown, great coffee and choice of lunch meals.
I saw this barista name ulysse for the first time felt in love instantly i go there every day just to see him i sit down and watch him work he is the man i wish i could talk to him but he makes me feel like the song creep from radio head I wish i was special maybe one days ill have the guts to talk to him amd stop secretly making out whit is picture And whe can be togheter and have multiple children that would make the best coffee
The staff here are so nice and friendly great experience thank you chloe, anika, Charlotte wonderful group of gals ????????????
Friendly staff who make great coffee and breakfasts which are good value.
Great location, coffee was okay, several options for baked goodies. Prices are similar to other local cafes in Banff.
Good coffee and great staff.
Great baristas, always good shots, good microfoam, good latte art
Very good expresso and chocolate cheesecake ! And affordable. 5/5
Great, albeit small, place for quality coffee, easily appealing to coffee aficionados.
Nice coffee! Just add an extra shot and it's your caffeine fix if you're from down under! :)
Great coffee and good light breakfast food. It can be hard to find a table in the morning.
Great service and delicious food. Seating is a bit sparse though
OK, yeah. A place where the folks care about the coffee and how well it's made. I'll TAKE it. In a ski town like Banff, this place is necessary and welcome. My oat milk latte was brilliant, just the right temperature, too. I had two cookies--a chocolate chip something-or-another and an oatmeal raisin coconut awesome. Their textures and flavor profiles were completely different and I was lovin' it. The staff were attentive, super-kind, and gave me a bit of sass, which I think they could tell I LOVED. Good banter is sometimes hard to come by--they had it in SPADES. It was a great way to start a sad morning (because I had to leave Banff).
best coffee in banff
Worth to Visit.. A little Cafe with a Patio to enjoy the Sun. Friendly Staff. Located near downtown but away from the Downtown crowd which is Good!
Great cappachino, nice staff!
Lovely location. However, they use Silk soymilk, which does not do well at high temperatures and results in a gross latte. Reading the reviews, I was expecting them to have a stronger alternative mylk game. They do have legit oat milk, which I'll try next time. Whitebark, please use real barista soy milk. :)
Amazing hazelnut latte
Delicious mocha, kind of boring atmosphere
If you want excellent espresso based coffee in Banff, this is the place. Smooth, rich aroma, with microfoam. Doesn't get any better! They also have very good pastries and other snacks. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.
Excellent cappuccino and Expresso doubleshots.
Good coffee and light meals. The frittata, salad, and soup were excellent.
Hands down the best coffee in town!
Nice small cafe good for a light meal on the patio. Prices are reasonable food is tasty.
This cafe is a gem. Its not often you find a great coffee shop with the wonderful baked goods, great coffee and lovely atmosphere with large patio. Worth the walk! :)
Cool wee cafe, unfortunately the staff experience let this place down. It was almost like we had inconvenienced them by being there … I get it, it’s 8:30pm and they probably wanted to go home but surely they could at least pretend to give a sh*t. On top of that they had ran out of supplies so couldn’t make the hot chocolates they had advertised for the chocolate trail, and staff rudely told us to move when we sat in the wrong seating area. Won’t be back here!
Stopped by because I heard that this is one of Banff’s best coffee shop and I was not disappointed at all. I got dairy-free iced coffee and my sister got iced matcha latte. Both tasted great! I also got a savoury pastry, though I forgot what it was, and was able to try their blueberry banana bread. I am a huge fan of banana bread and never thought that adding blueberry was even a thing but I loved the combination. The place itself has good vibes and you can just sit there the entire day while people-watching. Also recommend the ginger ale soda! My mom and uncle were huge fans!
My wife's cappuccino was good and the cheesecake was amazing but my espresso was not worthwhile.
The sausage rolls look a little weird but they taste amazing
This is the best coffee in Banff. Maybe in Canada. Maybe in the world! I don't know how they do it, it's smooth and perfect in every way. Located perfectly in the heart of Banff it's tiny inside with a little bit of seating outside. This isn't a coffee shop you can expect to spend a few hours writing or reading, it's kind of a quick stop. I highly recommend the latte with oatmilk as well as the almond bar if you want a treat. We went here several times, it's a delightful way to start the day!
Great coffee and healthy breakfast.
Finally some good coffee in Canada!!! And some pretty awesome baked goods as well! Loved it! Will be back :)
my fav cafe in town, prob the only one that meet my stander. Decent coffee and friendly staff, keep the good work !
The bacon and egg breakfast cup was awesome :)
Hands down best coffee in banff
The latte I had was amazing. Frittata and salad were also delicious. Can't go wrong with a quick stop here!
Attention to detail and a lovely chill spot to enjoy a coffee and snack. Be sure to stop in and say hi.
If you are looking for the best cup of Hot Chocolate, look no further, it’s the best cup I’ve EVER had! My husband and I were there for our 10th anniversary and found the perfect place to warm up in the -30* weather. It was absolute perfection!! The employees were amazing! They were professional, friendly, kind, and make a mean cup with a plethora of flavor. They let us take boiling water and throw it in the air where it completely evaporated. Can only happen when the temps are extremely low, coolest thing ever! We met friendly, amazing locals, that had great activity recommendations. This cafe is a must while visiting Banff!
Friendly staff, outside patio and delicious oat milk latte’
Good coffee, quick and friendly service
This cafe is the gem! Hard working staff and the food was amazing. The quinoa salad was sweet but the flavour profile was on point. The yogurt, you have to try! Coffee, just right too
Great coffee!
The ladies behind the counter we fast and friendly. The chai was good, but the cafe latte was delicious.
Didn't stay very long just wanted some coffee and happened to be closest. Staff were relatively nice, coffee was okay.
Fantastic coffee, quiche and brownie breakfast! Friendly, hip and skilled staff. Great.
Great coffee, great snacks, great service. Our go to coffee shop whenever we are in Banff.
Good coffee, great service.
Frittata with quinoa salad is awesome. Very small space but it's okay with a open layout to the hotel lobby. Staffs are just okay.
Hot chocolate is amazing. Made with fresh chocolate. Highly recommend. Service is awesome too.
Best coffee in Banff!
The best coffee in Banff. Awesome cookies. Pleasant staff and super reasonable prices. I always stop here when in Banff
Very friendly staff who care about their customers. Food is super tasty and the coffee was great. Nice outdoor eating area and safe bike parking.
Enjoyed a cappuccino from this cute little cafe. Price is reasonable for a traditional cappuccino. Friendly staff. Limited seating. Got mine to go for the drive home from Banff. Parked just outside on a side street in a 15min parking spot.
The best coffee I have ever had in Banff. Drinking an aromatic coffee just off to scenery skirts of Banff mountains is a unique experience in the city. Highly recommended
Quick service for the coffee to go.
Friendly and fast service. Loved the chai tea latte and lemon cake.
I love their Espresso cheesecake
Visited based on the good reviews I heard online - so happy I came! Staff were friendly and my latte was delicious!! Highly recommend their pork and fennel pastry, it comes with a tomato chutney (might be remembering this wrong) which paired so well with it, it was so good! Their patio was beautiful and clean - I'd definitely come back here if I get to visit Banff again :)
Went for coffee and breakfast Sunday morning before hiking. Had a flat white coffee, banana bread and juice. Coffee and banana bread were good. I had hoped for more breakfast options. Maybe something cooked/served hot. Would go back for coffee but not for breakfast.
Today I had one of the most wonderful lattes. Ever. Period. Thank you so much!
Great lattes
Very busy but efficient and friendly staff. Delicious coffee. Nice outdoor seating for people watching.
Best coffee in Canada
(Translated) It was good that all kinds of coffee were available, The interior, the number of seats in the store, and the store itself were very clean. However, for a cafe specializing in coffee shop, I didn't like the smell of coffee very much for my personal taste. The basic coffee beans have a mild taste without acidity. (Original) 왠만한 종류의 커피는 다 available 해서 좋았고, 인테리어와, 매장내 좌석 수, 매장 자체가 많이 깔끔해서 좋았음 근데 까페 전문점 치고 커피향이 진하게 느껴지지 않아서 개인적인 취향에는 아주 맘에 들지는 않았음 기본 원두는 산미가 없는 무난한 맛.
I am visiting from Vancouver and thrilled to find this spot. My latte was excellent and they had a couple of great vegan options for breakfast. Highly recommended for a grab and go coffee (they also have some outdoor seating if you prefer to stay).
Best coffee in town...and the staff are pretty fantastic!
Nothing better than stopping for a great cup of coffee during a bike ride....very nice patio
Incredibly delicious latte. The coffee was also excellent. The bacon egg cups were the perfect breakfast. The staff was very efficient. They didn't seem to thrilled to be there at 6:30am but performed admirably. We appreciated them being open so early.
Pretty good coffee and banana bread. I had a cold brew but was hoping to have the spicy Aztec hot chocolate mentioned in a review. Everything they had on their seasonal menu was iced even though it was 10 degrees outside. Sadface. Everyone seems to be Australian there which is neither good nor bad. Just surprising. Well, I take that back. The accents are awesome. Bit of a hard place to work because there is no escaping the glare from the sun, even when it's cloudy.
frittata was ok. coffee was good. granola was fantastic with good berries and a healthy amount of yogurt. make sure to specify your coffee "to go" otherwise you'll get a ceramic mug.
It gets busy, so try to either arrive early or be patient. I was there in 2019 and has one of the best memories from the city/ place. Prices are average and supply is limited. They have beautiful patio space and dogs are welcome.
Just the best in Banff !
Great little coffee shop. Staff is nice and knows how to make good espresso coffee.
The espresso was good enough. Coffe mocha was better. There are few seatings.
Good coffee, limited seating.
This is my absolutely favourite coffee place in Banff! The service was fast, and the lattes are the BEST.
Always so good!! Friendly service oriented people work here. They care. The coffee is good and strong and the snack foods delicious. I am not a vegan / organic seeking person, however their vegan banana baked treats are AMAZING. Best of all the cookies and muffins.... and I tried most of them. All good but not as good.
Delightful coffee shop with excellent service. A great little spot to share a treat with someone special.
Amazing coffee and small breakfast items. Great service and atmosphere.
By far my favourite Cafe in Banff. Beautiful reno just completed. Great team who care about their product and customers. High quality all the way around. Had a nice Americano on the patio today. High recommend
Amazing coffee and bacon egg cups!
Great lattes and friendly staff
Good coffee, nice spot outside
They have great coffee for a great price! They are always friendly and upbeat! I go everytime I'm in banff.
Great coffee and pastry options. Another plus is that they open really early so we were able to grab a bite before our early morning hikes. Staff was super friendly.
Whitebark is a busy little cafe. The baked goods and delicious treats are all baked in house and if the best quality. There are some original ideas like the breakfast in a bread cup, which is amazing. The coffee is quality, but not really top tier, but still an enjoyable cup. Worth a visit, or ten.
Great small spot. Very delicious treats. The chocolate banana bread is outstanding.
One of the best things about visiting my parents is that they live right by Whitebark. Best coffee shop in town with amazing baking and espresso.
(Translated) Small but nice breakfast shop (Original) Kleiner aber feiner Frühstücksladen
Just got the tea here but love the ambience and decor!
The homemade granola bowl was a perfect start to my mornings here in Banff! Chai latte was delicious as well.
10/10 coffee and service! Great place with great prices!
Great place for tasty hot chocolate (not the cheap powdery stuff). Not being a coffee drinker I’m always on the lookout for great hot chocolate & teas. This one made the cut. We had the Aztec one - rich choclatety taste, with a bit of spice/kick. It was perfect
So simple and delicious. We were happy to stumble upon this joint!
This was my go to coffee when in Banff. Best in town.
Used to be a ballin little coffee shop. Recently it seems they have been attempting to answer the age old question "how many baristas does it take to burn a latte in an untimely fashion?". Apparently these days the answer is four. Slow, burnt, not worth it anymore.
(Translated) The coffee is good, the dessert is good, but we clean the table by ourselves (Original) 咖啡不错,甜点不错,就是我们是自己擦干净的桌子
Great espresso and cheesecake
Good coffee. Asked for an extra hot mocha, and it wasn't very hot. It was tasty, but definitely not hot enough. Its the little things that count
Good coffee and sweets, small place but nice ambiance
The coffee is always outstanding. Staff is always friendly.
Searching for a good coffee in Banff? This is your place. The food looked good. The service is good. You can get coffee in a real mug.
If you wanna grab a coffee and go for a walk this is perfect. There is not sitting room in the winter. which kind of sucks.
Nice place
Staff was unfriendly, food was mediocre and the coffee lacked the season of a barrister. I ordered a pastry that looked like folded slice of bread cocooning a piece of bacon cradling a soft egg. There were inconsistencies in the patries so I pointed to one and she gave me the very worst one. I felt the staff could have been friendlier for the intinate space, but maybe the mountain altitude and the gloomy day just conspired to bring out their worst sides.
Awesome coffee and muffins.
Ordered an Americano for myself and a cappuccino with almond milk for my girlfriend (vegan) not only did we not receive the Americano, we received a latte or another cappuccino, we were not informed which had the almond milk which resulted in my girlfriend consuming the drink with regular milk in it before I tried mine and realized that this was in fact the drink she had ordered and that neither were the Americano I had ordered.
Coffee and baked goods were excellent.
The best locals cafe in Banff, great coffee, super friendly staff that know your name and coffee order, always up for a chat. Really good prices too! My favourite pastry is the vegan quinoa mushroom roll, and my favourite bread is the raspberry zucchini (lots of vegan options!). Amazing!
Really good coffee. Try the amazing Whitebark brownie.
We’ve typically come here for our daily caffeine fix on our visits to Banff, but this year something seemed terribly wrong and we were heartbroken with the results. The latte was weak and flavourless and the flat white was downright sour. It was very disappointing and has probably scarred us enough to reconsider going back.
Solid Café, i find myself stopping here before a good days adventure around Banff.
Best granola of my entire life.
Best cafe in Banff. Not only is their coffee 10/10, But the staff are incredibly welcoming always friendly and make a mean coffee. If you’re living/driving through/or on vacation Whitebark is a must! (Sausage rolls with mango chutney are killer fyi)
Stopped here for brunch, frittata amazing, mocha with oat milk and the soup of the day made my day
Great place, with great coffee and friendly service.
Although their hot chocolate was delicious and not at all overly sweet, their service was lacking. Walked in and all of the staff was talking behind the counter and made me wait while they finished their conversation before serving me. I also left my water bottle there and called several times only to be sent to their answering machine. Not impressed.
Best coffee shop in banff!! Their baked goods are awesome! And the coffee is even better!!!
Lovely little place to have some good coffee and a snack.
8 years taking my family to Banff for the kick of to Christmas in late November and I always take the time to wake up before my wife and kids, walk across the street from The Moose to grab us coffee! Thanks for always starting our adventures in the Rocky’s right!
Great location and style. There is a small bar to sit at indoors which faces the street and was quite nice. There is also a large outdoor seating area. The latte which I ordered was great and my girlfriend enjoyed the tea as well. Service was quick so you could definitely stop in for a quick drink while your car waits for you.
Delicious breakfast and coffee and cute patio
Wicked espressos
Best coffee in Banff. Amazing patio and coffee.
Best coffee in Banff. Mandatory stop when in the park.
This was near our hotel and the first coffee shop we came across. I do like a decent coffee and this place seems to know how to make great one. Also had a blueberry banana cake which was also really tasty. Recommended
Great coffee, very nice baked goods. I will definitely be back again!
BEST COFFEE IN BANFF
Our favorite coffee in Banff. During our stay at Banff, everyday We had our morning coffee in this lovely and cozy place. Great coffee. Excellent selection of cakes and bakeries. Scones and rhubarb muffin were so yummy. And the staff, they are so welcoming and lovely.
Ally is an incredible barista and is always super friendly when we come to sit on the patio with our pup! She loves people, dogs and has a great passion for quality coffee and service. Thank you Whitebark team for a really beautiful experience!
Amazing place for coffee and vegan and gluten free options. Will be back for sure. Highly recommend
I always visit this place when I am in Banff. They have delicious cheesecakes and coffees. I love to sit outside and observe the tourists, locals and children walking around while I am enjoying my cappuccino or moccha.
Great little cake and coffee shop
Not many comfortable places to sit. The patio outside was nice but if it gets busy, people are sitting shoulder to shoulder and on the cement wall. The coffee was okay.
Such a nice place to sit and have a drink and/or snack. Staff are nice and coffee is good. Limited seating, but nice to sit outside in the summer.
Great coffee, friendly people, unfortunate situation with the attached hotel closed for renos.
Absolutely AMAZING coffee and service!! If I could give a rating higher than 5 I would! I don’t live in Banff but this will forever be my place to go whenever I visit! Love love love!! <3 <3
Good cortado sometimes! Depends who makes it
Great coffee, cozy atmosphere.
Best coffee in Banff. Simple !
Best coffee in Banff served by the great guys
Best Coffee in Banff
Always a great experience! Nice outside patio and the best tasting Chai latte in the Banff:)
Super friendly Baristas. You can tell they hustle. This cafe is always busy, and the quality of the coffee reflects why. Definitely a must visit while in banff. The granola bars are a great snack for any hiking you plan on doing, or a cheesecake slice after.
A small town coffee shop with Vancouver or Calgary standards! What a surprise! I had a latte which was artfully poured but more importantly, the milk started perfect and the espresso was clean and light. Even my blueberry peach muffin was light, good moisture, and tasted delicious!
The coffee I had the other day was the best coffee in Banff and after going to this cafe, I always choose here for my coffee break.
Nice addition to Banff Great staff
Great coffee. Decent prices. Must try their strawberry banana bread. Yummmm.
Best Americano ever!
Such a beautiful cafe with quality drinks and it’s a nice place for a evening coffee or a date at Banff town.
We loved this spot on our visit to Banff. Great espresso drinks, pastries, and frittata. If you are up early to hit the trails, be sure to stop here on your way! They are open early and everything is fresh and delicious.
Nice place and good services. Highly recommend.
Awesome soup and the best coffee
Great coffee and chill atmosphere
Awesome place!
This place is cozy yet modern. My husband and I had the soup of the day and the fritata along with an americano and everything tasted delicious!
One of the few places open when I wake up. Thank goodness for the large soy lattes and the amazing in house granola bars they sit on the counter. Sooo tempting. Staff are friendly, helpful and get things moving quickly. Thank you.
Great coffee shop here in Banff! Great service and the coffee is great. Highly recommend stopping by.
Pretty amazing if you can catch it on a day when it’s not too busy. Trendy place that gets sought out by tourists a lot but staff keep their calm and are amazing.
This place actually makes great coffee. I had despaired of finding any in Banff before I noticed this little spot as I drove by. I ordered a latte and the milk was perfectly steamed.
I only give one star because of the views from the patio. We ordered 2 lattes to stay and it took 15 minutes for the coffee to be made.
Great coffee, could have been a bit more food options.
Good coffee, Wi-Fi and a terrace.
(Translated) In this expensive city, bread and coffee are just under 5 dollars (500 yen). And it's delicious. (Original) 物価の高いこの街で、ブレッドとコーヒーがなんと、5ドル(500円)未満。でかつ、うまい。
Delicious bakery items.
Friendly service, great coffee and the white chocolate pecan bar was epic.
Best coffee and baristas in Banff! Excellent patio with breathtaking views of The Rocky Mountain and bustling Banff Ave.
Friendly staff, beautiful setting, good choice of food and drink options, lovely cafe.
I adore the mochas here. I always try to stop in when travelling past Banff
Amazing coffee but the shop is a bit small so it might be hard to find a sit with large groups of people.
Great coffee shop at an excellent, happening location. I am picky about my coffee/latte selection and their mocha made the cut. It is the best I've had so far.
After spending 9 years living in Banff and leaving just 3 weeks ago, the thing I miss the most is White Bark!
Best coffee in Banff in my opinion. Small shop with quick breakfast and grab and go. Nice little patio and away from the hustle of the more crowded part of Banff Ave.
Great little place, nice patio with great snacks.
Cappuccino is the best in Banff
I love their brewed coffee, very reasonable prices with excellent service.
Always delicious! For aussies looking for "real coffee" in Banff: come here
I ordered the london fog here and it was really good but pricey
Probably your best bet for a good third-wave cafe in Banff.
Lots of good home made options. Lemon slice tasted amazing, but was a little small and very messy. Good service, great coffee and nice local business.
Super lattes and tasty quick bites for breakfast!
Cute coffee shop with tasty drinks and a very friendly staff!
Best coffee in banff
Mocha was great, so was cheese cake! Great location and cafe design, super relaxing and comfortable. Only problem was the espresso was mediocre, possible because it was over-extracted. Staff were friendly.
