7 BEST Spots For Breakfast in Jasper

It’s best to start any day exploring the Canadian Rockies with a fantastic breakfast. If you’re exploring Jasper National Park for the day, you’ll be delighted to know that there are plenty of great places to have breakfast in Jasper. For such a small mountain town, there are surprisingly many restaurants and cafes to try in Jasper, and we’ll break down the best of them here.

Of course, many will choose to dine at their Jasper hotel if breakfast is included in the room rate, though many hotels do not include breakfast. Even if they do, not everyone wants a lackluster breakfast buffet that can be hit or miss, and it’s always nice to support some of the local cafes, coffee shops, brunch, and breakfast places in Jasper.

The Best Breakfast in Jasper

---

Bear’s Paw Jasper Bakery

• Location: 4 Pyramid Lake Rd, Jasper (GPS)

Bear’s Paw Bakery is an institution in Jasper and just about every visitor to Jasper should pay the bakery a visit. Everything is baked from scratch in house and they have a wide variety of Canadian pastries (Nanaimo Bars!) and European pastries.

The signature baked good is a bear paw or one of their massive scones. Baked goods are bountiful at the Bear’s Paw Bakery such as cookies, muffins, apple pie, pumpkin tarts, sticky cinnamon buns, brownies, rhubarb squares, and fresh bread loaves.

They also serve decent coffee and espresso-based drinks. There are two locations: the original Bear’s Paw Bakery and the second, the Other Bear Paw. Ice cream is also available for an afternoon treat, but we’ve never had the pleasure to try it. It’s also nice to note that they open early at 6:00 a.m. if you have a big day planned, like hiking the Berg Lake Trail. We loved the raspberry white chocolate scones!

*This bakery is extremely popular and there’s often a line. If you’re in a hurry, it’s best to order ahead online.

Lostland’s Cafe

• Location: 610 Connaught Dr (GPS)

Established by the same folks who run Bear’s Paw, Lostland’s Cafe is like Bear’s Paw Bakery, but with more emphasis on food. Here you can come for your daily coffee, as well as for a wrap, sandwich, salad, or panini. It’s a great place to head for a quick bite, or to grab some take-away wrapped food for a day at one of the best lakes in Jasper.

Harvest Food & Drink

• Location: 616 Patricia St, Jasper (GPS)

One of the better restaurants in town, Harvest Food & Drink, serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. It’s one of the newer restaurants in Jasper with a healthy menu. Diners can choose from options such as a classic egg breakfast, apple pie french toast, avocado toast, kale & potato hash, eggs benny, or Belgian waffles.

There are also a number of tasty smoothie options if that’s how you like to start your day. The food is really great here, and prices feel reasonable for the quality. It’s a great, cozy little spot for breakfast in Jasper; I just wish there was a little more atmosphere with the decor.

SnowDome Coffee Bar

• Location: 607 Patricia St, Jasper (GPS)

First off I have to say I love the name as it’s named after one of the iconic mountains of the Canadian Rockies. This quirky Jasper coffee shop is located inside a Coin Clean Laundromat on the bottom floor of a building. It’s a small little coffee bar that serves some delicious espresso-based drinks for those looking for a quick jump-start.

Beans come from Ace Coffee from Edmonton and they produce some fresh quality roasts. There isn’t much to eat from SnowDome asides from a few small baked treats and cookies. However, we’re fans of eating at a self-catered stay and then grabbing a good coffee from a local spot to start our day.

Andromeda Coffee

• Location: 607 Patricia St, Jasper (GPS)

Run by the same folks who run Snowdome and in the same building, this coffee shop has quickly become a hit breakfast spot in Jasper and has even been voted Jasper’s Best Coffee!

Andromeda Coffee boasts two custom, sapphire blue Slayer Espresso machines, a Poursteady, and a generous amount of space for indoor coffee drinking. All of their baking is made with real ingredients and prepared from scratch, in-house. It’s a great place to head if you need a quiet space for studying or work while enjoying a freshly baked treat!

Orso Trattoria

• Location: 1 Old Lodge Rd, Jasper (GPS)

While the main breakfast option, the Great Hall Gastropub delivers a pleasant breakfast for guests at the Jasper Park Lodge, Orso Trattoria serves a luxurious brunch. Every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the Italian restaurant serves a delicious tapas-inspired menu.

Reservations are a great idea, as the outdoor seating is exceptional, with wonderful views over Lake Beuavert, lovely gardens, and mountains in the distance. If you’re seeking a mimosa-type breakfast, this is the spot!

*Reservations here are highly recommended in the summer

Terra

• Location: 200 Connaught Dr, Jasper (GPS)

Embark on a culinary voyage that celebrates the untamed beauty of Jasper at Terra, just steps away from the core of Downtown Jasper. Drawing inspiration from the rugged essence of this stunning locale, Terra thrives on the concept of harmonizing locally farmed and foraged ingredients to craft a dining experience that truly resonates with the spirit of the land.

Central to Terra’s philosophy is the embrace of seasonal abundance, mirroring the ever-shifting landscapes of Jasper. With each passing season, their menus undergo a transformation, weaving in the bounty of natural and local elements. They are open all day, and are a great dinner spot, however, for sit-down breakfast in Jasper, Terra is sure to hit the spot.
