Fast service and convenient, staff was nice, coffee was good but limited selection and high price, deserts were stale and tasted store bought.

Cute cafe with nice wraparound windows and amazing service. All of the staff is really friendly and some of the best service we've received in recent memory.The food is really good too with fresh produce and quality ingredients being evident (hands down the best fries ever!). Prices are reasonable as well for the area.Great ambiance if you just want to catch up over a coffee or pastry too as there are tables as well as lounge chairs. They use eclipse beans for the coffee so it's top notch.Will definitely be back and thank you for being so nice to our little one.

Visiting for afternoon break with a friend. Friend's menu was tea latte, but the staff brought her a coffee latte, and the chocolate cheesecake was old and not soft anymore.

What a lovely gem in Canmore, we frequent here often. Love the abundance of windows, no shortage of views either. I find the food delicious and fresh. Our favourites include the mountain breakfast, beef stroganoff and fries. Their pastries are also quite good. I like that they offer monthly specials to take advantage of. Great place to get some work done if you need a change of scenery from your regular set up.

Insane prices for a market cafe. We ordered the eggs benny, which were $27 with extra bacon. $20 for two side salads that were just plain arugula with balsamic. They reviewed the salads and brought us the same arugula with cucumber and some bad cherry tomatoes. Our son’s meal arrived 15 minutes after ours. The service was sloppy and overall the experience was not up to the price for a breakfast.

We made it just in time for breakfast. Eggs Benedict and the Mountain Breakfast were both reasonably good .... Eggs were overdone for the mountain breakfast... however both included fruit in their description but there was no fruit on either plate .... Should have asked for some but sometimes you just get tired of having to ask for what should be there. Coffee was good, staff were pleasant.

The coffee shop is a nice place to stop for coffee or snacks. Unfortunately the grocery is very overpriced, limited varieties of healthy, whole foods and the baked goods are not of the highest quality.

Interesting concept for a place they sell merchandise, groceries and meal and drink to eat there. It is a very pricey place and you have to do all the work yourself so I don't understand what I tip for. You order at a counter and they bring you the food but if you get a coffee it comes black and they have a bar for you to put what you like into your coffee. It just seems overpriced for me having to do all the work!

While the service is a little chaotic, it is pleasant. The Eggs Benny is delicious.
