Wild Flour Bakery

Nice spot to have a warm and fresh breakfast! They open at 7am which is earlier than most breakfast restaurants. Unfortunately they not serving hot breakfast dishes like other breakfast restaurants so they are more on the cafe and bakery side. They do have breakfast sandwiches which with egg and ham in between, it taste okay nothing special. Their drinks is their strength very nice balance of sweetness and flavour. Highly recommend the matcha either hot or cold is delicious! Can park at the bear street parkade and walk here (5 mins) to avoid pay parking fee.

Very busy, always a long line, for good reason. Delicious, homemade pastries and bread. Quality juices and drinks. Super friendly staff. Great space, lots of outdoor seating, indoor seating fills up quick. Had the chocolate croissant, berry yogurt and mushroom latte-10/10 and pretty reasonable price!

Delicious bakery in the heart of Banff. I had the toast with berry compote and the apple morning bun. The bread is delicious. I would suggest to keep the butter out of the fridge in order for it to be more spreadable. The compote was good, likely frozen fruit but still tasty. The morning bun was very good and flaky. Definitely homemade apple compote. Very good and a good size. We went at open on Saturday so did not face a long time. They sell other items here as well like coffee. A must try when you’re in Banff!

A Banff favourite, and rightly so. Fresh artisan baked bread, treats, and Coffee to Perk you up regardless of the weather outside. Greg greeted me with a warm smile and friendly informative information that helped me make my choice for a nourishing start to an otherwise cold winter day. The protein bar I chose was fresh, soft, and memorable (I am going to google some recipes when I get a moment and add this to my morning repertoire!). If you’re passing through Banff and are looking for a place to feel both at home and pampered, stop in, you won’t be disappointed.

Checked out the bakery for coffee + a bite for brunch. Their homemade sourdough bread was amazing. However, two breakfast sandwich and two drinks (one WAS a specialty drink) for $40 was bit overpriced especially for breakfast sandwiches that were pretty empty. Sliced egg with bit of veggies and tomato jam. Their sourdough bread was so good though. Maybe next time when I'm in Banff I would go back just for a loaf of bread to bring home not for their sandwiches.

Highly recommended! The staff is welcoming, and the food is excellent. Don’t miss their handcrafted art lattes – they’re a treat. We tried the cranberry loaf and a breakfast sandwich, hot chocolate and mocha, all made with top-quality ingredients. Garry helped us today, great service! I also bought some artwork displayed for sale (Lynne Huras), and the barista even thanked me for supporting local artists. I definitely recommend checking out the art on display. There are also some birds inside that add a lovely, soothing ambiance with their gentle chirping, enhancing the whole experience.

The turkey and brie sandwich was delicious but the all day breakfast sandwich was a miss. I got it heated and one side was toasted and the other got soggy. Overall a nice cafe.

Great cozy cabin vibes for a coffee! Looks like a busy place too - many folks like the establishment. Area to sit can get busy, but worth it. Love!

This place was SO cute, and it's obviously great because it stays so busy. They do move through orders super quick though. Not a lot of indoor seating but on a nice day, there's plenty of outdoor seating. We ended up getting our order to go and enjoyed it by the river. We had a flatbread, the soup of the day (red pepper), and a cookie. The cookie was FANTASTIC. Definitely a great spot for lunch in the area!!

Came here because of hype on reviews on pastries. Not sure if I came too late in the morning, but I didn't see much of anything I wanted (based on Yelpie's photos). I ordered a London fog latte, Apple muffin, Apple Morning Bun, and a Cinnamon swirl. There were a lot of people indoor enjoying their cup of jo and pastries. Only one person sat outside and brave the cold. I liked that it was just around the corner to the hotel and I discovered later that there was another location on the main street of Banff Downtown. I brought the goodies to the hotel and shared them. OMG! The pastries were sooooo gooooooood! The apple muffin was sooooooo moist and dense, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm never a muffin person - so they won me over. The apple morning bun was good, more like a croissant with apple custard on top. The cinnamon swirl with maybe pecans or walnut was also good. I had to save half of it and the muffin for later. My expectations was a roller coaster - high, medium, and super high! Would totally come back for more pastries.

Got the sandwich, soup, cookie combo. For 2 people + 2 drinks comes to like $60. I got the turkey brie - 10/10 good but so expensive. Boyfriend got the Smoked meat - 10/10 he was happy. Soup was Asian mushroom - was a touch spicy with real mushroom and tofu chunks. Not creamy. Boyfriend gave it 12/10. I gave it 8/10 - creative but I would have preferred classic creamy. Salted cookie was 7/10, so bland. Triple chocolate cookie was 9/10. Good food but so expensive!

We only ordered coffee here and I ordered their hot mocha and it was ok. Not really a wow factor for my taste but good enough for caffeine. Staff were ok, not too "welcoming" and the ambiance of the place was "gloomy" or maybe it was just the vibe inside in general. Well we got our coffee that's all that matters.

We were recommended by locals to try Wild Flour. They have some unique drinks and a wide assortment of pastries. Foods we ordered: maple walnut twist, breakfast sandwich Drinks we ordered: dandelion latte with mushroom blend, maple latte The maple walnut twist was pretty amazing. It was flakey on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The maple latte smelled so nice on our rainy week in Banff. It didn't taste overly sweet. The dandelion mushroom latte was new to me. It tasted earthy and light. It was calming which made me second guess whether I made the right choice that morning, since I needed something more caffeinated for our long day of adventure. There's definitely a bit of a wait if you come during peak hours in the morning, when everyone's getting ready to head out to places but the wait wasn't too bad if you are standing there, snacking on a maple twist.

I stopped in here 4 times on our 4 days here! Their food and fresh juice is bomb!!! It's a must go

This was such a cute lil coffee shop! Came here for breakfast and got the sandwich (no tomatoes or bacon) and it was just like an egg frittata between bread. It wasn't bad but could have used flavor (I added hot sauce). The staff was super friendly. I got a hot tea as well and the vibes overall were great. It is a pretty small spot so you may night have a place to sit, or might have to share a large table.

I don't know what they hype is about this place!! It was busy when we got there. There was at least 15 people ahead of us. Also expensive for what they offer. An egg sandwich $12 Canadian dollars, why! They coffee is also expensive and has no taste in my opinion. Service was really slow and there are two people at the register, really nice people but they take their time or leave the register while people are still waiting in line to order. However, food is quick faster than how service is when you order. I had their scone which I asked for it to be warmed and it was given right away without warming it up. I had their cheese scone which I asked for it to be warm and I got it cold. Also had the rosemary and berry scone which was ok. My husband and I did not like their coffee or food. It was expensive for no reason. I would not recommend it

Cute little artisan bakery. I was hoping for an almond croissant but there weren't any available, so had a ham and cheese one. It was fine; nothing special. The hot chocolate was nice! The ambiance is great. Timing is everything with this place though - when I arrived it was a short wait, but when I left the line was out the door. Best views though! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

Overall, just a great and friendly coffee shop. I'd recommend it as a wonderful start for the morning if you're looking to pick something up for your long day :) Butter croissant: Get Very flakey and very cripsy, its simply buttery delight Breakfast sammich: Get A thick layer of egg, this will fill you right up and leave you satisfied. Food: 7/10 Service: 8/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Value: 8/10

Stopped by for lunch with my family! Super cute shop and nice tables to eat outside, the sandwiches were all pretty good, and I like how they heat it up/grill it for you! I got the vegan veggie focaccia and it was pretty good! Had pizza sauce and veggies so it tasted like pizza ~ but if you don't like vegan cheese u might not like it.

Visited this amazing breakfast/brunch bakery spot in Banff downtown few months back. Their baked items are simply put delicious and I loved my morning dose of Matcha as well. Don't be disheartened by the long lines as they move fast and the service is quick. Their breakfast sandwich was fresh and delicious. I particularly liked their bread. It's made in house so the quality was amazing. I also tried their Maple twist which was a winner too. They have some seating just outside the restaurant, next to the sidewalk so it's perfect for a sunny morning on vacation.

Super packed but super good food for the price. I loved the breakfast sandwiches and the carrot cake was massive! Loved the service.

The hot chocolate was super yummy (they use syrup and not powder!) Tea was also delicious. Staff was nice, super busy and a little crammed!

Sadly, this place was not that great. I was so looking forward to it but my lemon poppyseed cake was dry and flavorless. The coffees were OK, but also not the best quality. We got a savory biscuit and a piece of sourdough bread as well. That's probably where they shine. I wouldn't return.

Friendly, fast service with delicious bread! I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon, and while I don't love oven-baked eggs, it did the job. The bread did all the talking. Espresso has caramel notes. We got an iced oat latte (with added caramel oops lol) and a hot latte. Croissant was quite large and flaky. The granola and yogurt was large and the hit of the day.

Stopped at Wild Flour at about 7 AM for a cup of coffee and some pastries before we drove out for sunrise at Lake Louise. There was already 5-6 people inside which emphasized what a popular stop this is in Banff. While the menu was impressive and the pastries we ordered were delicious, I wasn't very impressed by my latte. The "salted toffee" flavor was hardly noticeable, it tasted mostly like a plain latte. However, the jalapeño corn muffin was delicious and my husband loved his pastry too (a maple something that looked like a cinnamon roll). Given the many other great coffees in town, I probably wouldn't come back for that, but I enjoyed the ambience of the shop and the friendly staff.

Breakfast sandwhich was solid. But nothing mind blowing. Got a matcha latte and it had no sweetness to it. Maybe I needed to ask? I just assumed there'd be a dash of something. Boyfriend got a dirty chai. Again solid, but nothing mind blowing. Don't think I'd come back.

Cute little bakery in Downtown Banff. We tried their banana bread and a large mocha one morning. We went in around 8am and there was a bit of a wait to place an order. The banana bread was so moist and not overly sweet. The mocha was good too. The restrooms were clean and accessible.

My favourite coffee shop / bakery in the whole wide world! I love the pastries and treats and the staff are always amazing!! Can not recommend Wild Flour enough!!

Wild Flour is definitely a popular breakfast/coffee place in Banff! We got there at around 8am and it was popping! There was a line and all the tables were taken. There was a wide selection of baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee/teas. I ordered the almond croissant, which I wasn't as flaky as I would like. It was also a tad too sweet for my preference. However, the breakfast sandwich was delicious! I really enjoyed the nice fluffy egg and cheese! So savory and delicious! In addition, the coffee was nice and strong. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere here. It was really nice and pleasant inside the cafe! If I lived here, I would have wanted to try their fresh loaves of bread!

The walnut maple cinnamon roll was great (strong maple flavor, fresh bread, maybe a little short on the walnuts). I was extremely disappointed that at 3:15 PM there were very few other options left. That's on me, everyone knows you should hit up bakeries in the morning. Looking at the menu, it seems like this is more of a place with sandwiches (both hot and cold) and bread, more so than pastries.

Wild Flour was recommended to us by a tour guide on our first full day in Banff. While on the hunt for good soup, we decided to try Wild Flour. It did not disappoint. A smaller restaurant, we waited in a short line, and were lucky to find spots to when it was packed. I ordered the chicken soup, vegan caesar, and the double chocolate chip cookie. Chicken soup is not my favorite... but this was so comforting and flavorful. The vegan caesar was also surprisingly good. On our next visits to Banff, Wild Flour will be a place we come to again and again.

We were thrilled to stumble upon wild flour while in banff. It is a great little coffee shop with lots of treats. I was particularly excited as they have a lot of gluten free and vegan options! The pastries change every day, when we went it was an orange gluten free muffin that was delicious. The service was fast and there is a decent amount of indoor seating, though it is fairly cozy so you'll be in close proximity to others. Would definitely come back again!

enjoyed this little coffee shop. sandwich was soft and delicious with just egg but for others, may want to order with a meat as well. latte was pretty and delicious. i don't often see all three in one place; good coffee, pastries and breakfast sandwiches. also enjoyed sitting in a window seat and people watching.

Cute cafe! We got a couple of the meat sandwiches (type of meat sandwich offered changes daily) to go for lunch on the road. They were good but not that good to justify them being $15 each. Free Wi-Fi offered here for customers.

Overall, Wild Flour is a cute coffee shop that is also a great stop for breakfast sandwiches and pastries. They open fairly early so in preparation for our hike I ended up stopping by and it was packed. It's a small indoor space so it's easier to eat outside if you're in a larger group. Don't worry about the lines though since they're quick for the meal and coffee orders. Try the breakfast sandwich and chocolate chip cookies and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic coffeeshop with a wide variety of caffeinated and non-caffeinated drinks and beverages, plus a large variety of homemade-tasting cookies, pastries and snacks to enjoy with said beverage. Wonderful decor and great tables for meeting people or working on your computer.

Great place for brunch. Have good selection of bread, muffins, and scones. Really enjoyed our soup and sandwiches for lunch as well. Really good coffee!!! Service is very helpful. Got free wifi as well.

This place seems to always be busy. There is a reason. All their food and pastries are delicious. I wish I had time to eat lunch there, but I was in a hurry. I stopped by for a latte and a pastry. I got their Wildseed bar and it was delicious. I love that it had a good amount of seeds in it. They sell loaves of bread too. The line seems long, but it goes by real quick. Don't be afraid to stop by. The staff is great too.

Hate to leave a poor review, but the breakfast sandwiches were really not good. Very disappointing after a morning hike that made us all hungry (and would make us less picky with the food, but even with ravenous appetites, we didn't like the sandwiches much!). The eggs weren't fresh but appeared to be prepared in advance and then re-heated. All the ingredients were just bland and stale-tasting. Latte and london fog tea were decent. The cafe was cute with friendly service and lots of tables and seating, but if you expect great food, don't carry high expectations.

My friends and I dropped in for breakfast during our trip to Banff. This place was highly recommended and we found out why. They had a number of pastry, breakfast, and drink options and we were super satisfied with our meals. I decided to order an iced latte with vanilla--it was creamy and delicious. With my drink I also ordered a Chocolate Croissant and an Orange Blueberry Peach Muffin. Both were extremely soft and fresh-tasting. The muffin was so moist and wasn't too sweet and it had a slight tang from the orange and I loved it!! Despite how busy the shop was there is a good amount of seating inside and outside--we could have enjoyed either options. The employees were super friendly and helpful as well. We can't wait to come back the next time we find ourselves in Banff.

Food and bakery items were delicious! service was great despite being very busy. There were 2 little birdies flying around the cafe as we ate, very cute little spot with great coffee!

We always pop in here when we are in Banff! Delicious coffee and really good baking. We especially enjoyed the seed bread this time!

The breakfast sandwich. No further questions. And then get anything/everything from the pastry case. Coffee is very good with dairy/non-dairy options. Everyone is super friendly. And an incredible diversity of folks from around the Commonwealth, too. Ambiance is great - a few tables inside. Handful outside in the courtyard.

Pretty great breakfast place. Got their sandwich. My wife liked it so much we got another one for the road. Really great bread. The brownie was pretty crappy tho.

I saw a review for this place advertised as Banff's hidden gem so I thought I'd try. Maybe I just I had too high of expectation because the coffee was just ok. I ordered a mocha and tasted like it was watered down. I only ended up drinking half of it. Needless to say I was disappointed.

We get breakfast every day here, ham and cheese croissant before our long hikes. Perfect for us.

Great cafe ambience. They have a variety of options for vegetarian and gluten free diets including breakfast sandwiches, panini with falafel patty and pastries. The brownie and wild seed bar are delicious gluten free options. It seems their GF bread is made fresh in-house and it was delicious. We had a latte and an almond milk iced latte as well and both were good. I feel the grilled cheese sandwich was a bit overpriced at $15 but otherwise loved this place.

The latte was delicious. The carrot cake, meh. The cake was dry and hard as a brick. That was disappointing, because the flavor was on point. I'm sure when fresh, it's delicious

Ordered coffee from here. Decaf iced mocha with oatmilk. It was good but not my favorite coffee in Banff. Very slow and kind of chaotic. It's a very small area so while you're waiting on your drink you're kind of standing on top of the people sitting to eat/drink. Wish there would've been more gluten free + dairy free options. If you're just gluten free, there are some pastry options.

Came here a couple times during our stay in Banff. Not only was this coffee shop right across from our hotel, but it also was one of the earliest openers in town. Since it was one of the only places open super early, the line was pretty long, but it was a nice option to have on those early hiking days. When we arrived the line was just out the door, we probably spent a total of 20 to 25 minutes from the time we lined up until the time we got our food and drink. One morning I got the breakfast sandwich and added bacon. It wasn't my favorite since it already had the peppers and onions in it, I wish it had been more customizable, but it did it's job and filled me up. The bacon was definitely a nice addition to liven it up. Another day I was in a rush and needed a quick bite for lunch, since it was later in the day the line wasn't super long, but the selection was fairly limited. Ended up ordering the veggie panini, it did take quite some time for the panini to come up, but it was piping hot when it did. Again the food was fine and did the job, but it wasn't anything too special. Would probably come back here again if visiting Banff, but would skip the breakfast sandwich, and would like to try a different panini.

Best Scones, croissants, and tea/coffee drinks in Banff ! The drinks do take a little longer to get than the food, they have clean cups and a fountain of water that you can get a glass of water from while you wait for your drink while you eat.

Banff is beautiful enough but it was a pleasant surprise to find a place like this. First the coffee is solid. Their breakfast sandwiches were excellent, especially if you like sourdough as the bread was fresh and delicious. Friendly service too at the counter where you may choose to include the customary tip but you will bus your own table afterwards.

Very friendly staff, great fresh pastries and sandwiches. Delicious coffee. The line might be a little long, and it can get a little cramped inside waiting for your order, but well worth it.

This place was cute and good, but I wasn't blown away. I was expecting more because so many people told me to visit Wild Flour. The service was good and the vibe is cool and mellow. My issue is that my food was average. Got the bacon, toast with jelly, croissant and coffee. The cofee was good, but not great. My issue was with the food. It took some time to get our breakfast, so maybe it was sitting for a while. Unfortunately, it wasn't hot. It wasn't even warm. I have a feeling it was sitting for a bit, because there is nothing worse than cold and hard toast. I could tell that it was all quality, but I have a feeling that the care for the meal wasn't there.

Unsurprisingly, if you go before there are hundreds of people waiting in line, service is quick. The pastries were delicious, light, and warm. Their breakfast sandwiches weren't my taste but that's more of a comment about my taste buds. The bread the sandwiches were on was incredible. The staff was polite and on top of it.

Coffee was excellent. Baked goods (pumpkin muffin) was a bit dry and lacked any flavor that worked make it memorable.

I recently visited Wildflour in Banff and had mixed feelings about my experience. I ordered their breakfast sandwich which was a frittata served between two pieces of bread. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. I've had similar sandwiches before, so it didn't feel very unique. However, the biggest letdown was their mango mousse cake. Unfortunately, the cake was very dry and tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. This made me question the hygiene standards of the establishment, which was a big disappointment. On a positive note, the ambience of Wildflour was quite nice. There was ample seating and a comfortable atmosphere. However, the lack of parking was a bit inconvenient. Visitors have to find nearby public parking since there's no street parking available.
