Cafe restaurants in Alberta

  1. A

    Evelyn's Coffee Bar

    Pushing Starbucks onto the periphery, Evelyn's parades four downtown locations all on or within spitting distance of Banff Ave. Dive in to any one of them for wraps, pies and – best of all – its own selection of giant homemade cookies.

  2. B

    Wild Flour

    Banff's antidote to Tim Hortons is heavy on organic, vegan and frankly strange-looking cakes, pastries and cinnamon buns backed up with free-trade, organic coffee. They also bake their own bread.

  3. C

    Waterton Bagel & Coffee Co

    A godsend if you've just staggered out of the wilderness, this tiny caffeine stop has a handful of window stools, life-saving peanut butter and jam bagels, and refreshing frappuccinos.

  4. Round Street Café

    A simple but effective indie coffee bar near the Greyhound depot with a fine line in cinnamon buns and thick-cut sandwiches, plus free internet browsing rights.

  5. Mocha Cabana Café

    Austere from the outside, the multifunctional Mocha is anything but within. Billing itself as a coffee lounge, wine bar, patio and music venue, it grabs 'best in Lethbridge' prize in each genre. The bright interior has an appealing European ambience and the substantial lunchtime salads are fantastic.

  6. Lake Agnes Teahouse

    You thought the view from Lake Louise was good? Wait till you get up to this precariously perched alpine-style teahouse that seems to hang in the clouds beside ethereal Lake Agnes and its adjacent waterfall. The small log cabin runs on gas power and is hike-in only (3.4km uphill from the Chateau). Perhaps it's the thinner air or the seductiveness of the surrounding scenery but the rustic $6 tea and scones here taste just as good as the $39 spread at the Chateau Lake Louise.
