The Best Coffee Shop in Banff<\/h2>\n

If \u2018people watching\u2019 is one of your favourite sports, you are going to love Banff. So many different kinds of people stroll up and down the streets of this gorgeous little town. Window shopping is a big favourite amongst tourists as is stopping in for a beer in one of the many pubs or if it\u2019s that bit too early \u2013 a coffee. Though Banff doesn\u2019t have many commercial franchises, it does have a Starbucks (and a half) one in Safeway. I would love to say it\u2019s terrible but truth be told, it does great coffee, has a warm atmosphere and friendly staff. There is also three Evelyn\u2019s Cafe\u2019s (and counting) and a Second Cup. However, it is the hidden hippy cafe on Bear Street that for me is the winner of Best Cafe in Banff- the WildFlour.<\/p>\n

\u2018People watching\u2019 is also one of my favourite pastimes and this cafe is an ideal place to do it. Grab the best latte in town, sit at the window, pretend to read a newspaper and just watch the world go by. Admittedly it is a bit pricier than other options around town \u2013 and this says a lot compared to Starbucks. However, there is a difference. Each coffee or tea is prepared personally and with care. All the girls that work there have a passion for caffeine that is shared with their customers. The cafes itself is big and bright and though it can, at times, get a bit too busy for my liking, it has a very welcoming feeling.<\/p>\n

The Wildflour is also the only cafe in Banff that offers a proper menu for sandwiches and soups. Some of the options are a bit off the wall but compared to the plastic packaged sandwiches you find elsewhere, this is a nibbler\u2019s heaven. If you have some time free in Banff and you want to relax and enjoy a good espresso cafe and uniquely delicious food, this is not just your best option but your only one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
