Jump Start your morning in Banff

Every morning while staying in Banff, Terry and I would start our day at Jump Start Coffee (206 Buffalo St, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada). This is a small coffee shop that is frequented by locals who order a cup of coffee and read the morning paper. Terry and I would order an egg sandwich or muffin and then some extra food to take out for lunch later in the day. The proprietress was pleasant so it made sense to, keep returning. The food was simple but good.

The view out the front window was of the town park and the history museum as well as the huge mountains. Some locals returned every morning and the coffee shop became a place to gossip[ and find out what was going on in town. It felt like a welcome relief from the endless tourist stores that tend to line the main street. The place felt much like the local places I return to often in Orlando whe I find some spare time between sketch opportunities.

  1. Hi Thomas,
    I believe my dad is in the illustration above. He worked nearby and went to JumpStart every morning beforehand for many many years.
    Sadly his visiting days are now done. Would it be possible to purchase a copy of this photo to print and/or blow up for my family in his honour?
    With hope – The Zimmers.
