Do you have oat milk?

Hi Jill, unfortunately we do not have oat. We do have almond and soy though, hopefully that is alright too

Ordered a Chai Latte and London Fog. They were both pretty tasteless. Very disappointing for a $5 drink.

Great reviews but I found the sandwiches ordered underwhelming. The falafel wrap was OK but nothing special. I also saw the staff using the same implements for preparation of vegetarian and non vegetarian options. The Pulled Pork sandwich had a strange flavour, it was OK again but not great. Prices were fine for the area.

Stopped in for lunch after hiking Johnson Canyon trail and seeing the frozen falls. The Chai tea was "the best I've ever had in my life!" according to my love. She had the Salmon Slamwich and I had the Houston. Both were delicious. Great price, friendly service, very cool vibe. There is only seating for about 8 people at bars along the wall but don't let that keep you away. I would have happily eaten that sandwich in my car, or standing on the sidewalk (although there is a giant raven out there who is also a fan of their work I am sure so protect your grub!)

This place is absolutely great. The staff are all exceptionally friendly and both the food and coffee are spectacular. After I discovered this place, I went back every day during my short trip out to Lake Louise, and was never once disappointed. Do not miss out on The Houston sandwich. It is incredibly delicious. I tried multiple different espresso coffees, though, never any drip and was delighted each time too. A must stop! Only downside is that they don't open until 7am, which isn't early enough given how early one must arrive to visit Lake Louise and/or Moraine Lake these days.

My wife and I came here for our last breakfast before leaving the lake area and we wish it was our first, because we would have come here every day. We had a freshly cooked omelette, salmon on toasted bagel with capers and cream cheese, and two delicious cups of specialty coffees that we would gladly go back for (see images). The location is reasonably priced, just be cautious of long lines, try to get here right after opening time to beat the lines here (and of course to be able to see the wildlife in the area before other humans scare them away!).

Our go to for breakfast wraps and mid day soup and sammys..amazing selection of edible goods and good stout coffees.The staff are great at what they do. Just like moms kitchen but much funkier and a little more crowded..if you don't mind rubbing shoulders with more Polar Fleece and Gore-tex than any one human should experience in a lifetime it is well worth it.P.S. try the pickle soup!

Avocado Slime!Stay far far away from this place. “Avocado” toast is some kind of packaged green-brown slop with canned tomatoes on top. Totally inedible.

Stellar place to grab a hot or cold meal. Fast and friendly service. The perfect meal combo on a cold day is their elk stew and a warmed veggie samosa. The samosas are to die for!! Just the perfect amount of spicy and heat! Their treats and coffee are amazing. Great sandwich wraps too!! Love this place after a day of sking!

Really great food.Felt more like a grab and go place. It was really crowded during lunch. Got an Elk Stew, and The Huston (sandwich). The Elk Stew is good to try if you never had Elk before. Done well and the Stew is nice and thick. The Huston is a must try. The pulled pork is tender and the macaroni and cheese in the sandwich was great. Really fantastic.Had a brew coffee and a maple canadiano. Maple Canadiano was sweet and a good try.

We loved this little spot. We hit it up on our way out to the airport on our last day. Small place in a strip mall. Good coffee and good breakfast sandwiches. Easy, inexpensive, fast, and tasty, which makes it a perfect stop for breakfast when in the mountains.

As a local for many years we used to frequent Trailhead often. They've shrunk the sizes and upped the prices on the food so drastically, I can't really recommend it as good value for the quality anymore.

You might wonder why they have a big line up.. spend 10-15 minutes in line and buy anything from the affordable breakfast menu they have.. I tried veggie wrap with spinach and tea latte and it was delicious!! and the guy who serve there (amir? Sry not sure how he pronounces) is very friendly and helpful

I would highly recommend coming here during your visit to Lake Louise. I would actually prefer eating here over the deli and lake view restaurant at the Fairmont! Their falafel wrap is very tasty if you need a vegetarian option and all their warm sandwiches like the Gobbler and Houston are both comforting and delicious. Friendly staff and very quick turn around time.

Ok, here’s the thing, the food tasted really good, just found it to be VERY expensive and then on top of the high prices, the portion sizes were very small. I ordered a honey garlic wrap, I could have eaten three of them.

A phenomenal relief in the Banff area. After a long day this little place serves fantastic coffee, a delectable selection of Teas, including a variety of hot / cold and sweet / savory items. We always travel as a very large group with a variety of dietary needs. This place meet and exceeded all our expectations. For the four days we lived in the area, we made it a point to visit this place every evening.A must stop for the weary Traveller.
