Awesome tea selection and some really healthy food, dynamic atmosphere and lots of vegan and vegetarian options. There are bands that play there often in the evening, and during the day it's also kids friendly, with a little play area (away from the main area near the bathrooms). Staff seem really nice, patrons are a mix of granola-crunching hippies and... More

LOVE this place. The menu is simple and healthy. You don't have to question the ingredients or feel guilty about eating anything. Great selection of teas - served in a unique way, and the coffee is delicious too. I was impressed to learn they don't have a microwave! Try the quesadillas :)

Communitea is my favourite place to stop for Tea or a bite to eat when visiting Canmore. The tea menu is extensive and the staff is very knowledgable about their menu items. Their salad bowls at lunch are delicious, and they have several GF/vegan options which is always a bonus. I definitely recommend visiting if you're looking for something healthy... More

I had the gluten free green tea icing cupcake and it was like a yoga party in my mouth! Highly recommend. We had an almond milk rooibos tea latte- A+

This place is sooo amazing! The atmosphere is fun, the staff are fun, and the food is so healthy and tasty! We always stop to eat here when we are visiting Canmore. Love this place! They also put on musical events which we are very excited to check out. The only downside is that it can get busy because it... More

Stopped here for a coffee break while walking around town. I found the staff a bit rude, and offstandish... Like I should be grateful to be there? The eating area was cluttered and had a lot of tables full of dirty dishes. It's a very trendy spot where local hippy-hipsters gather to fraternize. I didn't care for the coffee or... More

Despite the name, I hardly ever have tea there. If I'm spending a day in Canmore or even just on a road trip, I often make a point to stop in at Communitea for a great latte (they serve Intelligentsia coffee), a cookie, or a full meal. It's one of the few places where you don't need to seek out... More

The brunch menu is small, I asked if they could do just scrambled eggs and toast or something simple. The owner (I presume) proceeded to say that for just me that would be fine but the 'menu is the menu' and for an entire table he wouldn't be prepared to do this and there are lots of bacon and egg...

The food here was amazing, and I recommend this place just because of that. The portions were small (ie, no sides), so if you order a $10 sandwich, that's exactly what you're getting... a $10 sandwich. I understand that the quality of the food is high, etc.. But it's a little difficult to convince a few people who want to... More
