Whitebark Cafe

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 little coffee shop. Cappuccino was excellent. Food was good, but the selection is limited.

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.

Amazing coffee but the shop is a bit small so it might be hard to find a sit with large groups of people.

Good coffee and tasty sweets. Friendly staff and a nice area to be in. I would definitely come back.

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

So simple and delicious. We were happy to stumble upon this joint!

Very good, a great change from the normal chain coffee.

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.

Small and cozy. Amazing scones, and frittata. Best for to-go situations due to limited seating.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Always a great place to stop get your morning brew

Friendly and tea was hot! Perfect on a beautiful day!

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 serves the best coffee ever I would recommend this place everyday

Hot chocolate is amazing. Made with fresh chocolate. Highly recommend. Service is awesome too.

Great coffee shop here in Banff! Great service and the coffee is great. Highly recommend stopping by.

Delicious bakery items.

Stopped here for brunch, frittata amazing, mocha with oat milk and the soup of the day made my day

This has only espresso based drinks with a very hipster vibe. Not very many seats but it seemed super busy at 10am

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.

Lovely little place to have some good coffee and a snack.

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.

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).

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!

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!

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

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.

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

Food was good. Nice change from. Regular coffee shops.Great coffee. I usually like mine a bit stronger, however the taste is great.

Excellent cappuccino and Expresso doubleshots.

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.

Great service, good food, and great homemade bread.

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

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

Nice coffee! Just add an extra shot and it's your caffeine fix if you're from down under! :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Didn't stay very long just wanted some coffee and happened to be closest. Staff were relatively nice, coffee was okay.

Good coffee and light meals. The frittata, salad, and soup were excellent.

The espresso was good enough. Coffe mocha was better. There are few seatings.
