Good Breakfast!

We went here twice this week… Breakfast bowls and paninis are great. Scrambled tofu was yummy. The atmosphere is clean and bright. Great service. and the Tea selection is fantastic! fill your cup with hot water a couple times as they put soooo much tea in the steeping baskets:). Coffee too is good. To-go salads and such. Nice bakery items with Vegan options:)

Get a noodle bowl

I really liked the Satay Noodle bowl. The coconut bacon vlt was really good but left me hungry. Maybe they should use a thicker or more filling bread.

Cons: Vlt good but not filling enough for a sandwich.

A MUST try if you’re in Canmore

The vibe in this place is amazing! You can tell that the workers are happy to be there, my friend and I visited twice in one day since we were so impressed. So many vegan and vegetarian options, we had a difficult time choosing from all the variety!! The food and drinks came out quick and we’re not only delicious, but also filling and very affordable. The VLT is 100% worth trying! You can also buy pre made salads/bowls for a super quick lunch on the go. This place also makes their own homemade vegan sauces and dressings that you can purchase and take home!

If you are visiting Canmore you NEED to visit this place! The options are also extremely affordable!

Best vegan panini ever

I'm CRAZY about the Vegan Breakfast VLT Panini, I can't explain how good is that. I went there twice, and can't wait to go again on my next trip to Canmore. I also picked up muffins to go, and they were delicious.

Pros: More than 1 vegan option, The place is so cool, Best vegan panini I've ever tried

Mountain Veggie Wrap is the bomb!

Deserves 5 stars despite not being fully veggie.
Mountain Veggie Wrap is the bomb! So many options for bowls but this wrap called my name and loved it. Equally hard to pick which loose leaf teas to bring home. Will be back whenever I’m in the area!

Perfect place to grab a healthy bite to eat!

My fiance had the VLT and I had a noodle bowl. The VLT was really good but my noodle bowl was just okay. Chips and dip are a little pricey for what you get but their hot chocolate and maple latte are well worth the price.

Pros: Many vegan options

Cons: Okay prices

Not allergy friendly.

I wanted to like this place because of the amazing vegan options but I explained my allergies to the server and he checked in the kitchen and said the food was safe and did not contain the ingredients. One nibble of the burrito and I started having an allergic reaction.

Whilst the server was very apologetic and remade the burrito without the allergen, it is still not acceptable. More training and information needs to be shared with staff before you make someone very sick.

Cozy Cafe

Communitea is my go to spot in Canmore— reliably good food and coffee.

They are now selling their sauces which is a blessing.

Can get a bit busy as it is popular.

Pros: Good vegan options, Fresh

Cons: Sometimes a busy spot

Canmore Must

I come here every time i'm in Canmore for lunch or breakfast. There are lots of vegan options and the food is fresh and healthy.

Only downside is the avacado toast is ridiculously expensive.

Le burrito vegan était bon, mais le toast à l’avocat était délicieux!

Authentique matcha latte et le popcorn au curry était étonnant!

Amazing, Delicious and Wholesome Bowls!

Communitea Cafe is an adorable, charming and friendly cafe in Canmore. During a recent visit to the Rockies in September 2020, I ate here nearly every day (sometimes twice a day)! Their menu is amazing and features a variety of healthy, creative and nourishing bowls, lots of teas, etc.. Items that are gluten free and vegan are clearly marked and there are options to make anything vegan on the menu with substitutions.

Due to the pandemic, the cafe is only open for take-out and patio seating at the moment (no indoor seating). The online ordering system was very efficient and smooth. I liked that the take-out containers were compostable.

I tried the Buddha Bowl, Yoga Bowl and Kale Caesar Salad during my visits and loved all of them. Such delicious and unique flavours and packed with wholesome ingredients. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, it would deserve it. Fantastic and cute little cafe and I will continue to eat here on future travels.

The best hummus

I go here every time I stay in Canmore for breakfast. The hummus they use for their avocado toast is delicious! They have a few marked vegan options on their menu. There is a great selection of locally made tea, too, and they have a choice of oat or almond milk.

Pros: Atmosphere, Downtown location

Delicious bowl!

This was my second time at Communitea, and it was really tasty. I would definitely recommend getting a bowl, as it's a good amount of food and the ones I've had are really delicious. There definitely can be a longer wait on weekends so keep that in mind. They also have vegan snacks (energy balls) but I haven't tried those yet.

Healthy options

A bright, welcoming and busy cafe serving some healthy vegan options. We tried the Mega Fresh Bowl with sesame tofu add on and the Vegan Burrito - both delicious and filling. We ordered a Blueberry Mint iced tea on a whim which was great as well.

Would have loved a treat at the end but the only vegan option (cinnamon bun) was sold out.

Pros: Healthy, fresh meals, Good vegan options/subs, Nice space

Cons: Slow service , Hard to find a table, Limited vegan treat options

Vegan breakfast options

We came by for a weekday breakfast. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. We had v/gf scones, a vegan burrito, and the hemp bowl. The food was delicious, service was friendly and helpful, and the coffees were well crafted and delicious.

Good Healthy Food

I've been to Communitea twice and both times tried one of their bowls. Healthy ingredients and good portion size and also really delicious, both times.
They generally seem to be fairly busy but service is fast if it's not at peak times (haven't gone for peak times yet).
Their tea is also really good!

Pros: Good number of vegan options, Healthy, Delicious

Cons: Can be busy
