Short, strong and pulled to order — our espresso is the quickest way to a proper coffee in Lake Louise village. Take it as a single or double shot, lengthen it into an americano, or add a spoon of foam for a macchiato before you head out into Banff National Park.
Espresso is the base of everything on our coffee board. Each shot is ground and pulled when you order it, never held, so the crema is still on top when the cup reaches you. If you want something longer, we stretch the same shot with hot water into an americano — a favourite with guests who want the strength of espresso in a takeaway cup.
As an independent espresso bar in Lake Louise village, we are a quicker and more affordable stop than the sit-down hotel restaurants nearby. Resort staff, tour drivers and early hikers all use us for a fast shot between shifts and departures, and we are open from 7:00 AM daily on Village Road.
Fresh grind, clean basket, shot pulled the moment it is ordered. Nothing sits on the machine waiting for a customer. That is the whole approach, and at 1,600 metres it makes the difference between a bright espresso and a flat one.
Order a single if you want it quick, a doppio if the day started before sunrise, an americano if you would rather sip it on the walk to the lake, or a macchiato when you want a little milk without turning it into a latte. Tell us at the counter and we will build it your way.

Yes — Cafe Lake Louise at 200 Village Rd, Lake Louise, AB T0L 1E0, Canada pulls espresso, doppio, americano and macchiato to order, seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
An americano is the same freshly pulled espresso shot lengthened with hot water. It gives you espresso strength in a larger cup, which travels better if you are taking it out on the trail.
Of course. Any espresso drink can be made a double and served in a lidded takeaway cup for the drive or the walk to the lakeshore.
