“I had the breakfast sandwich with tomato. I feel like it was a little bit overpriced but I kind of think everything is these days and it was good. The shop was really cute and there were these little finches that were coming into the shop and going out as people opened and closed the door and that was really cute.“
“Bread is good. Been buying at Safeway. I was however surprised and disappointed when I noticed the size of the loaf this morning was much smaller. I looked at the label and saw it has gone down from 850g to 650g (almost a quarter less) for the same price (so 24% price increase).“
“I was so delighted by my lunch here that I came back for more the next day. The staff were pleasant and efficient, the space was clean, beautiful, and welcoming, and the food was magnificent. Considering its placement in both Banff and the Fairmont, the prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality.I would absolutely recommend stopping in here, even if you aren't staying at the hotel.“
“I love this coffee shop. I visit weekly (or more). The Barristas are very kind and care about the quality of coffee, often asking for feedback, and trying adjustments to make a cup even better. The cafe is also an environmental leader with reusable items instead of disposables, rental takeaway reusable cups, and discounts if you bring your own mug. And best croissant in Banff.“
“Everything is freshly made daily including the bread and English muffins used for breakfast items, to the pastries and chai tea, also serve locally brewed coffee! The breakfast sandwich was such a pleasant surprise, it seemed simple at first glance but what a perfect combination of flavors and whatever seasoning was used blew me away. We also got the avocado toast which was elevated with a poached egg, goat cheese, and balsamic on freshly baked sourdough. The homemade chai tea like the owner’s grandma used to make was amazing. I normally don’t drink chai but loved my husband’s so much I had to get my own cup. It’s just a short drive from downtown, we noticed mainly locals and regulars coming in to this husband and wife owned shop. Update: After trying some other breakfast spots in town, nothing can compete with Bare Bistro so we revisited today getting to try to eggs benedict and omelette, the sauce used for the benedict was amazing (homemade of course). We also tried some of the pastries which were all perfectly baked and delicious. We’ve tried just about everything on the menu and haven’t been disappointed in anything. We will be back tomorrow to finish trying everything (mainly pastries left). Very friendly owners and you can tell they take pride in what they do (as they should). Thank you so much Fonda and Alfredo!“
