Wagashi Tea House - Canmore

The food is delicious and you can feel the chef's ingenuity, but it also means a long wait. Located inside a flower shop, the seats are simple and few, and too much lighting is a minor problem.

??The prices are extremely high, and the owners (a couple) have a bad attitude and are rude. The onigiri lacks flavour and is mostly just rice. The rice was undercooked. I didn’t find anything special to pay $22 for the Japanese Breakfast.??The matcha drinks were authentic and good. She prepare the teas authentically so make sure you have patience to wait when it’s busy. I recommend stopping by with your friends/family for a sit down tea time for their tea and ice cream, but the meals are not worth the price.

Such a beautiful and cozy spot with such friendly staff. We had a nice light and fresh Japanese breakfast. Beautiful tea pots and cups. We also ordered mochi and Nerikiri. What a relaxing experience.

I tried the hojicha latte here, but it wasn't that strong, so the next time I went, I asked for just one spoonful of hojicha powder to be added. The hojicha latte costs $5.xx, but you get $3.88 more just because you added a spoonful of powder. The original hojicha latte was too weak and tasteless. I added a spoonful and it tasted better. Is it right to charge more than half the cost of the drink for adding one spoon? I think adding 1-2 dollars is enough. Starbucks doesn't charge extra even if I ask for an extra spoonful of powder. No matter how expensive hojicha powder is, it's strange to charge more than half the price of the drink just for one spoonful. This seems to need to be changed. And there was no information in advance about how much the additional cost would be.

Best place in town for brunch, lunch hot drinks. Kind personal service, surrounded by mountain views and plants we love it!
