Annie's Café

Highlight • Cafe

If you’re out for an afternoon run, bike ride or stroll around the pathways of Fish Creek Park, stop by Annie’s Café, located just west of the Bow Valley Ranche Restaurant, to enjoy coffee, ice cream, baked goods, soups, sandwiches and more.

This quaint farmhouse was moved to its current spot in 1905 and once housed the ranch foremen and their families, includingBilly Bannister and his wife, Annie. Today you can enjoy a wholesome lunch or a special treat while sitting on Annie’s sunny front porch.

Whatever the reason, the beautiful surroundings make it the perfect place for a break, whether you’re on your own or with your whole family.
