So many types of tea
August 08, 2014When it comes to tea my wife's favourite is the classic dust that is swept from the floor and stuck into tea bags for UK supermarkets so the minefield of being offered so many types of tea was daunting. Having settled on our brew (Canadian breakfast,delicious) we also enjoyed a wrap and a buttie, both of which were beautifully presented,... more

Excellent healthy food
August 07, 2014My family popped into communitea for lunch and were treated to an extremely satisfying and healthy meal. There are many options for vegetarian and gluten free patrons. My little ones ordered the quesadilla and it was served with a whole grain tortilla and chicken. I had the smoked salmon and pesto panini (great choice). To top it off, it was... more

Brilliant breakfast
August 05, 2014We travelled two mornings to eat breakfast in this little cafe. The food was fresh, wholesome and tasty. The coffee was excellent and a great selection of teas. Tempting sweet pastries were delicious!

Unique little cafe, attended a show there
August 03, 2014We were here to see a small concert. The cafe is super cute, not too big and not too small. We only had beverages, but the tea was yummy. And everyone was friendly. The setup for the show was cozy, but everyone had a good seat. I'll definitely go back for lunch one day.

Frustrating experience

I'm with my family for a quick lunch as my wife needs to go back to
the office. We decided to try the café 'coz of good things we heard
from other people and there is no line at the counter. It took our
food orders 30 minutes before it was serve making our lunch adventure
very frustrating. What makes...

Nice Cafe in Canmore
July 30, 2014
I had lunch with two friends at Communitea Cafe on our way to Banff. They serve my favourite coffee, Intelligentsia. I had the Big Cheese panini which was delicious, plus the daily soup which was miso. The soup had a lot of veggies and was pretty filling. Salads looked quite large, and my friend enjoyed the Salmon Pesto Wrap.

You do not need to be a vegetarian to love it
July 26, 2014Great food, reasonably priced. Just a lovely cafe and as the name says, specializing in teas as well as community minded. Local art for sale on the walls etc.

I love this place
June 21, 2014Unfortunately, I only got to enjoy one meal here however it was memorable. The laid-back spirit of the community is captured in the cafe's decor, menu, and overall ambiance. I love salads and bowls of one sort or another, and the menu's variety of options satisfied both my vegetarian and my husband's non-veggie preferences. We enjoyed a lunch that was... more

Reasonably good coffee, great lunch food
June 14, 2014From an Australian perspective coffee in Canada is generally pretty weak and tasteless.but this place does better than the Canadian average, so well worth a visit

Great Food Options
June 08, 2014This place is a must if you are visiting the Canmore area. They have vegetarian and gluten free options to suit almost any dietary need. My favourite is the Pad Thai with chicken. They always have feature dishes, homemade soups, teas and iced teas to sample as well. It does get very busy during peak meal times, so keep that... more

Gluten Free Options
June 07, 2014I have been here many times and usually visit for breakfast or lunch whenever I am in Canmore. The food selection and coffee is delicious. They also offer a number of gluten free options making them one of my top choices in Canmore because I am a celiac and eating out can sometimes be difficult when it comes to finding... more

Great food and selection, but very slow at lunch
May 30, 2014
I've had lunch a few times here and have always enjoyed the healthy selection and quality of food!!!!
The only downfall is the time it takes at lunch sometimes to recieve your order. I've waited almost half an hour one time... But worth the wait if you have the time to kill.
Very good food menu!!

Fresh food, great selection
May 22, 2014Went to Communitea yesterday, had the chicken quesadilla and tea. Everything came out quickly, the staff were friendly as can be, and the food was delicious. As regular summer visitors, we will certainly be returning often. Great job Communitea staff

Amazing cafe! So much more than good food
May 20, 2014I was incredibly impressed with Communitea! The concept is so cool and the cafe really embodies a sense of community. Besides the incredible breakfast and smooth coffee, the walls are littered with fantastic local artwork, there are live performances, and posters for local retreats and workshops (I love my yoga!). All around great vibe and fantastic, fresh food. Love.

Love this place. Full of Locals & Visitors
May 19, 2014This is a great place to hang out. The food is delicious and healthy; the atmosphere is very welcoming; kids are totally welcome. Plus they also bring some great music to town -- although, sadly, the acoustics are not great.

Incredibly delicious vegetarian food and funky atmosphere
May 13, 2014I recently stayed in Canmore for a girls' weekend and one of our group insisted we eat at Communitea. I was excited as it reminded me of my university hippie days in Victoria. We lined up across the length of the entire restaurant but we seemed to move quickly enough (although if you are in a hurry, you won't agree).... more

45 minutes for take out
May 05, 2014Our friends recommended communitea and unfortunately it wasn't a very positive experience. I think the big issue is that the staff just seemed indifferent and could have cared less. We decided to do take out and then waited over 45 minutes for a veggie burger and quesadilla. The restaurant was busy, however, the staff could have advised that there would... more

Great place to eat healthy, hang out and relax
April 07, 2014This is an amazing addition to the Canmore community since its opening. Not only is it a great place to grab super healthy grub and tea (the variety is endless), it's bright modern decor and multiple windows make it a great place to hang out. They have a lounge area with couches, toys and it's where the kiddies hang out.... more

Neat little cafe
March 20, 2014
We stumbled upon this cafe by accident but were very pleased we had. I was thrilled to find a cafe that makes a "proper" macchiato and it was good and strong. Can't comment on the food but it looked good.
I loved that there were flyers and ads for all sorts of community events around Canmore, without it looking like...

Yummy Healthy Food
March 18, 2014Lots of healthy options here and for the vegetarians and non veggies. Lots of tea and baking and in general there are many options here. I had a lunch bowl with chicken added. It was plentiful, full of good for me things like quinoa, kale, and bean sprouts and had a tasty sauce (more of a broth). The decor is... more

One of my fav places in Canmore
February 25, 2014If you're looking for some tea with a healthy lunch or snack well look no further! This is the only place I go!! Love their breakfasts, lunches, tea and gluten free treats! All healthy and delicious! Always stop in to grab a couple almond bars and tea when I'm passing through, yes I'm pretty sure it's official - I'm addicted!

Cozy cafe my favourite place in Canmore
February 11, 2014I love the couches and games provided on one half of the cafe and then the chairs and tables on the other place. I come here when I have some downtime by myself as well as when I come with my kids. Such a great place. The Buddha Bowl was excellent!!!!!

January 16, 2014My favourite place to eat in Canmore, hands down. Lots of great vegetarian options, excellent service and cosy atmosphere. Can get packed around lunchtime but take-out is also available. The buddha bowl salad is scrumptious!! Went there 4 times on my last trip to Canmore.

Fresh
August 28, 2013We were looking for a place that made good 'big salads' and fresh food, a local told us about this place. Try the Buddha bowl if you like tahini dressing! It was fabulous. We also got several of their baked goods which were good too. The only downside is that they are closed for dinner.

Best Veggie Wrap EVER

Great Lunch
July 31, 2013Three of us had lunch at this interesting spot based on a recommendation of a friend. We ordered a Buddha Bowl and two Pad Thai. Both were very large and very satisfying. The two vegetarians in our trio found the food outstanding. We will be back.
