Comunitea Reviews

Although it was busy, the food came out promptly.
I'm never a huge fan of ordering at the counter, but it here it works.
If you drink tea, this is the place for you as the selection is huge.

Great breakfast menus!! I had two breakfast plates. Hahaha!! Friendly service and pleasant ambiance. Coffee is good, too. I would recommend this place to all my friends.

Quaint little restaurant /cafe. Great healthy options. It won't disappoint.

I ordered a Mango Thai Salad online to pickup and eat on the road as we were passing through Canmore. Much to my disappointment, when I opened my order a few minutes after picking it up, the portion size only filled out a quarter of the takeout box. In addition, the salad had been pre-dressed resulting in a limp watery salad that had about a half cup of dressing/liquid at the bottom of the takeout container. The flavors of the salad were tasty, however the ridiculously small portion size in addition to the execution of the salad being dressed ahead of time definitely means I will not be repeating the experience of online ordering/takeout from Communitea.

Delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Breakfast burrito and breakfast bowl... Drool. Lovely atmosphere. Great staff.

Small cafe, good place for a coffee and to relax and read the paper

Found hairs in my plate. Stuff just ignores any asks. Asked them twice to bring an additional place wih no result.

I haven't been here in a while now actually so I can't really comment on how the food etc is currently, but when I was there the coffee and pie I had last time were really good and the people working there were friendly. What provoked me to leave this review now was actually seeing the Owner's response to a one star review below. Covid is hard and some people have literally no compassion. It's not nice seeing good smaller businesses getting pummeled with negative reviews based on something so beyond anyone's control as the coronavirus is. You could say we need more solidari-tea! I'll be coming back for another latte when things are safer to do so, as this place was pleasant last time!

Excellent food. The turkey and apple sandwich, as well as the grilled cheese and kale salad were fantastic.

Amazing cafe! Great tea selection and very helpful kind staff.

Great selection of tea and the food was delicious!!! The line up was long but definitely worth the wait

Communitea is my favourite place to eat in Canmore. This weekend we ordered catering/take-out for our group. They were friendly, quick to respond to communications, and extremely accommodating of our multitude of dietary restrictions. The food was, as always, delicious

Really nice atmosphere, yummy food and good coffee and tea. The staff's are very welcoming as well.

Friendly service lots of yummy treats. Many gluten free and vegan treats as well

Great food! The pad Thai is absolutely amazing. Price is a little steep though

Great little lunch spot in canmore. Good for grabbing a quick lunch, they have good soups and salads

One of the best meals on our west coast trip. This will be my first stop in Canmore next time I'm there.

We had breakfast here. Avocado toast, hemp smoothie, ham egg and cheese panini, and breakfast bowl. Very nice food and ambience. Very friendly service.

Good food with vegan options, and good coffee even though the focus is more on tea. Only downside is that it can get quite crowded.

Fresh friendly and yummy! They were able to accommodate a unsweetened chai (which is rare)

Very meh. We had 2 wraps and 2 lattes and it came out to like 35$. We also wanted a paper cup of water for our dog and they charged us 1$ for it -- for water. We then waited for about 20 minutes. The food, once it came, was mostly mush, with chips on the side for mine, and popcorn for my wife's. Wouldn't recommend, and I wish we'd just gone to Starbucks or a full restaurant. It would've been equal or cheaper in price for better service.

Turkey sandwich was so delicious!! And giant selection of tea! Will definitely come back

It was decorated very well, nice ambiance. Food was amazing and very fresh and the tea was delicious. Very nice place to visit.

Vegan burrito was tasty and filling. Gunpowder green tea was perfect and satisfying. The service was great.

Staff were friendly. Busy spot. Give yourself enough time to get food. Lots of vegan options! Would love to see them add more vegan baking. Food was pretty good.

I've just arrived in Canmore and this is the first place I eat. I couldn't be happier. The food is amazing and the place is vibrant! Just love it!

As soon as you walk in you know you are in a special environment. So comfortable and relaxed.

The staff was so welcoming and very friendly. They were all like friends.

When we received our food and started eating....wow! Amazing creativity and flavors. Great spins on tried and true fare.

This was one of our favorite vegan breakfast experiences to date. Great food that came within 10 minutes of waiting.

The last time I was at this restaurant I ordered the Nori Bowl and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted! Their food is always fresh, they have good sized portions, and the staff are always lovely. This is my restaurant of choice anytime I'm in Canmore. I highly recommend it!!!

The Pad Thai here is something I crave when I'm not in Canmore always friendly and delicious!

Love this little sandwich/tea stop. Tried the veggie wrap this time... awesome. Others enjoyed their meals too. Gluten free? Np they accommodate easily. Keep it up guys! Thanks

This place kicks friggen ass (good and coffee!) but get a 2nd POS for the love of god....

We loved this cafe. It is perfect for breakfast when in Canmore. The avo toast was lovely and the vibe of the cafe was just what we needed. Would definitely come here again

Children s play area was magnificent. The tea was unique and delicious. The food was flavorful and fresh (chicken coconut curry, Buddha bowl, and vegan burrito). Our to stay food came in to go containers, which wasn t a big deal, just wasteful. Potato soup was surprisingly bland, given how good the other food was.

Macarons were very good, as were the ginger cookies and hazelnut chocolate chip cookies. Chai tea latte was a solid drink choice. Overall, great food, great tea and great sweets.

Five stars without a question! This is one of my favourite place to eat of of anywhere I've traveled. The food is unique and has a great fresh feeling to it. The only nitpick is that you might not feel full afterward, but you'll definitely feel comfortable once you're done. The atmosphere is great and the prices are reasonable for what you get.

This place is definitely toddler and mommy approved. The sweet little kitchen play area kept kiddo busy while waiting for our delicious lunch. Plenty of diet specific options (gf, vegan).

Sooooo many Gluten-Free, Vegan, Dairy Free Options! Loved it. Absolutely amazing flavours. This place is ALWAYS packed.

Delicious and quick! Inventive and healthy food options! The nori wraps are great for paleo people and those doing no grains or rice, thai salad with zoodles is so good!

Ultimately, the food at Communitea is great. And once you've ordered it comes in a very reasonable amount of time. But dang.... The line to get to the point of ordering moves slooooooowly.

Fantastic tea options and delicious food. Found myself craving the Mountain Veggie Wrap and will definitely be back next time I'm in Canmore.

Great food and great atmosphere. The line up has been worth it every time I have come here!

Great ambiance. Good coffee. A must visit in Canmore.

They have wicked coffee and the food is awesome! The place has a pretty hip look to it, and they offer quite a lot of alternatives due to dietary needs etc. The staff is always friendly and the whole vibe is relaxed and welcoming.

Drove out to Canmore from Calgary for the day. Had lunch at Communitea Cafe - we really enjoyed the space, the menu and the atmosphere... definitely coming back. You can thank Stephanie O'Brien for letting us know about the place.

The food has always been amazing but today I saw that they had an unsweetened version of a mocha and omg! It was amazing. I've always stayed away from store bought mocha drinks because of all of the sugary syrup but love chocolate and coffee together and this was everything I could have wanted from it. So so good!

best coffee place in town .the staff our great . I'm always in there on my days off . best place to enjoy coffee
and buy coffee . what more can I say 5 stars if not more. guys keep up the good work

Sweet spot for breakfast. No fuss, chill, great food. Good coffee and amazing tea options.

This is the PLACE! So many options for EVERY preference. There are tons of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options, as well as none of the above! This place was packed for lunch, as it should be. That's fantastic and it's kind of loud and that's sort of a downside for being such good food. It's well-deserved.

The food was just spectacular. I got the grilled cheese and it was amazing. My partner got the quesadilla. I swear he almost cried he loved his food so much! We recommend both dishes. The only thing I didn't love is that it came with popcorn as a side. I just don't like popcorn, not their fault. But I understand it's well-seasoned. The desserts all looked beautiful and tasty, but we didn't get any this time.

The restaurant is clean and the food came out rather quickly considering how busy it was and how long we waited in line. If you need lunch in Canmore, I highly recommend visiting the terribly-named "Communitea!"

We love the food, the tea, and the environment. One of our favorite places to stop in Canmore. The food never disappoints with great vegetarian options, healthy choices for the kids, and great team to go with.

Greate coffee and atmosphere
We ate breakfast which was very tasty :)

So I've liked this place for a while now but my recent experience made me even more hyped on this wonderful establishment. I went in for my usual with my girlfriend, we ordered, came out as usual and we sat down to eat. We were sitting outside when an absolute freak windstorm messed our day up. Tonnes of dust, dirt, and all sorts of all things mother nature blew into our food and blew the umbrella into my face. Now this is some crazy act of God stuff, but the staff at Communitea promptly came out and helped me fold up the umbrella and offered to replace our food. They had no reason to do this and the accident was so far from their fault but they hooked it up. They made us all new food no questions asked. It was amazing as usual, and they even remembered my original hotsauce order. Been a long time customer and I gotta just say go there. Bunch of rad people over there. Plus during non pandemicvirushellstuff times, the inside is a rad place to eat food.

Great food! A little overpriced, but I love how there are always performances. Its a great way to bring the community together! :)

as someone with allergies to gluten and dairy Communitea has a ton of options! We stop in here whenever we go through Canmore and look forward to it everytime.

It's all in the SAUCES. Amazing tastes. My favourite meals are the Bowlfuls.

Nice vibe. Good vegan food available. But the food could use some more oomph. It's a little bland and dishes just feel like different types of salads.

Waiting staff very friendly and helpful, and so was the nice man who sat next to me. Also delicious food and coffee.

We had some coffee here and enjoyed the atmosphere and friendly staff. The quality of the drinks is excellent. It was surprisingly quite, considering that it was packed with people. Very good environment to have a conversation in.

My second time to communitea was not as great as the first based solely on the item I ordered. The shrimp nori bowl uses an asian sesame sauce which is quite strong in flavor, they used waaay too much of it, it was overpowering and came across more like a soup than a salad.

I love everything else about this place, the drinks, the atmosphere, the healthy local vibe, but this one dish was a big let down.

Great healthy options, nice decor, good name and friendly staff!

The staff was very helpful in suggesting teas for our sniffly noses

We were looking for breakfast (or lunch) @ 11 am having been up @ 4am for a flight from SW Ontario to Calgary, so decided to stop in Canmore. Food was fantastic! Unique pairings that are nutritious as well as tasty. I has a corn tortilla wrap of scrambled egg, cheese, spiced black bean smash & sweet potato with a walnut green tea. Hubby had a ham/cheese pain with coffee. He commented on how great his meal was too. Love they offer gluten free options. Would visit again with no hesitation.

Always very busy, but they are pretty fast and the food is pretty good. The grilled cheese was not that hot and could have been more melted for sure. Prices are also somewhat high.

My favourite in Canmore. The pad Thai, coffee, and sweets are all delicious.

Adorable tea/coffee shop with deliciously fresh and unique food items for breakfast and lunch

Adorable cafe with many GF/vegan options! Oh, and tea! We were passing through Canmore and stopped for a late lunch and it was ammmmaaaazing! Thank you :) would recommend!

Charming place with healthy and delicious food. Lots of vegan options. Cozy seats. The line and wait for food was pretty long, but worth every second!

Food was good. Service was incredibly slow with no apology for the 25 minute wait for two sandwiches. Many people who ordered after us got their food way before. All it takes is an apology if food is late or forgotten.
