Cabin Cafe & Mercantile

Can I say cute? I felt like I walked right into a mountain cabin. Log walls, wooden furniture, a cozy looking fireplace set in the middle of the side wall. Seriously, has a Banff coffee shop made it into the city? I think so.
I was meeting someone for coffee, and at 4pm on a Thursday, we didn’t have any troubles finding a place to sit. Perhaps that’s because it closes at 5, which is too bad, I definitely would’ve hung out longer.
I ordered a large medium roast coffee and a gigantic gingerbread cookie. Service was quick and friendly and they took debit. Yay! As is a growing trend, I was asked if I wanted them to leave room for cream and sugar. No thanks! If you’re coffee’s any good, it shouldn’t need any. It went down well enough black. So not bad!
At about 5 to 5, one of the girls came over to our table to politely let us know they’d be closing in 5 minutes. Acceptable enough, we were talking the hour away and the girls looked like they were ready to call it a day. The lights went out a bit past 5 as our last signal, so out we went.
I really do wish this shop had some evening hours. Especially come winter. I could see myself spending mucho time by cozied up by that fireplace with my laptop.

This quaint little coffee shop is VERY popular with the area residents… kind of like «CHEERS» where everyone knows your name!
The Cabin Café is child-​friendly and even has a small cabin for children to play in while the moms and dads visit.
Also, if you’re looking for something to do on a Saturday night there is live music from about 7– 10pm. I’ve been to this a few times and it can get busy so be sure to get there early!
Coffee is great (my favourite is the Marshmallow Mocha) and food is fresh and tasty.

This quaint little cabin on Bow Trail has great teas, coffees and sandwiches. And they also have great gluten-​free options as well.
When it’s crowded it gets a little loud, but nothing so crazy that you can’t have a conversation with whomever you happen to be with.
Had a great club sandwich here and some delicious coffee. Simple and good. Stop by if you have a coffee craving

A great little coffee shop — quiet and cozy.
There is a nice fireplace with 2 comfy couches, and toys to keep kids happy. Staff are friendly, and the food and drinks are enjoyable and reasonably priced. I recommend trying the Cabin Blend coffee with a ginger cream cookie. It is a great place to meet friends and spend some time relaxing and catching up. I always prefer it to larger franchise coffee shops!
