Absolutely love Communitea Cafe in Canmore! The vibe is warm and welcoming, the food is fresh and flavourful, and there are tons of clearly marked gluten-free and vegan options. As someone with celiac disease, I felt completely safe eating here. Great service, amazing teas, and a beautiful space. Highly recommend!
Amazing restaurant with great wait staff! Highly recommend to everyone! So many gluten free options on the menu! Felt very safe ordering gluten free here. Definitely recommend the GF Calamari and the blacked salmon tacos! Will definitely be back!
Andy and his staff were very accommodating! I am Celiac and the entree’s were clearly marked. Food preparation was excellent and served properly. We felt welcomed and at ease on a busy night. Thanks!
Best ice cream ever!! The ice cream sandwiches and the cheesecake were both incredible!! Definitely will be back!! (Everything is gluten free, which sometimes people are weird about but I swear everything tastes better because of it and I'm not gluten free!)
This place is absolutely a hidden gem. Our server, Pierre, was super kind at walking us through the wide menu. We chose the full 7 courses, each was well thought out, cohesive and absolutely delicious. As one of us had a gluten allergy, they were super acccomodating and the gluten free options were really well done. Would definitely go again.
This was our first restaurant pick in Canmore to start off our vacation and we were very pleased. Wonderful mountainous views. Clearly a local favorite since the inside was packed with families watching sports. Our waiter Wally, was particularly friendly and inquisitive, guessing where we were from for the fun of it. He was attentive and kind. We watched him handle another couple who were not thrilled with their BBQ sandwhic, which he dealt with graciously. The food was decent (local hard cider / Granny Smith flavor was amazingly good), but it was honestly Wally that made it for us. He persuaded us to come back another night which we did, and ordered the desert he recommended- the ice cream sandwhich which was gluten free. My wife loved it. They also played Music Bingo which was fun. Please let Wally know Zach and Maegan from Arkansas (not Louisiana 😂) said hello and thank you.
Overall good place. Doesn't have a huge variety of other options for vegetarians or gluten sensitive folks. Prices are pretty high and our waitress was not very friendly or accommodating. The other staff were lovely and even ran down the street to retrieve sunglasses that were lost by someone else in my group.
Good overall option to stop in when in Canmore.
I absolutely loved this restaurant! They went above and beyond to accommodate vegan and gluten-free options, and every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The staff was attentive and welcoming, making the experience even better.
We were so impressed that we’ve chosen them to cater our son’s wedding, and we couldn’t be more excited. If the catering is anything like the meal we had, it’s going to be phenomenal! Highly recommend this place for both dining and events.

We were excited to return to this restaurant as our first visit a few years ago was very good. We, however, both felt we wouldn’t return after this meal.
My spouse is Celiac and we checked their website menu for gluten free options. It did not match the current menu with very limited options. We ordered and advised of her condition. They even came to confirm other ingredients to ensure the meal would be safe. They then arrived with it and low and behold they put the naan bread (gluten) on the plate. It then brings into question their kitchen practices for a separate station or area for allergy prep etc.
My dill pickle chicken was pretty good, hence my 3 star rating. Guess I’m saying, if you don’t have any special needs go ahead and you might (I won’t guarantee anything) enjoy your meal.
Absolutely need to try out!! Had unique teas served in french press infusers, followed with some of the best risotto I’ve tried. The burger was so juicy and had a high quality gluten-free bun, and cane with the best fingerling potatoes I’ve had. Finished with a decadent flourless chocolate pavé with many different flavor and texture combinations for many different experiences. And all was 25% off for haply hour 2-5pm!!
Had the homemade granola bars. Big time awesome almond flavour. A solid, wholesome square. Not a flaky fall apart bar like so many others. A Gluten Sensitive bonus as well....
Gluten free options, fast service, AMAZING RICE NOODLES, and supreme staff who were very nice and courteous. 10/10, would eat the entire menu even with celiacs disease
We came here for my sister’s birthday. Our server was very friendly and made our meal especially enjoyable. The loaded FRIES were unlike anything I’ve had anywhere else. I’m a massive fan of veggies and the sauce was awesome. The entrees were unique, which I appreciate: especially when done right! They were also very conscientious of our party’s allergies (we have both gluten and corn allergies among us). They have a big enclosed patio and the seating inside is very cute. Overall a good experience!
A cute cafe that makes an amazing almond milk latte! The view from the bar seating area is pretty nice too. Great for a quick bite, but they don’t offer gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions.
One of the best server experiences I've ever had. Funny and had incredible attention to detail. Gluten free burgers had a great local bun and got given drinks off their new menu coming up and was delicious.
Celiac friendly
