Rocky Mountain Bagel Co. (tie)
Bagels are the name of the game at Rocky Mountain Bagel Co., and once you try one, you’ll understand why the restaurant’s two Canmore locations are so popular. Along with six breakfast bagel options, guests can enjoy bagelwiches and open face bagels for lunch. If you want something simpler, opt for one of the 10 bagel flavours ranging from rosemary sea salt to japaleño cheddar with cream cheese or a spread. Bagels are also available in bulk if you want a half-dozen or dozen to take home.
