Wayne & Freda

I have to say I love this spot but lately the service has not been what you'd expect for a espresso bar. There was no latte art! I would think a trained barista would do at least a bit of art for a $4.50 beverage. I'll be sticking to coffee at home.

Great Coffee spot in a nice setting! Had the breakfast sandwhich which was high quality and tasty

Been here a few times on our annual pilgrimage to Penticton. You can't go wrong. The food, no matter what you order, is outstanding. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. It doesn't disappoint. Love it here.

A delightful spot for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Outdoor seating is perfect for summer and we love that the patio is dog friendly. If you’re local or visiting, don’t miss out on WAF.

We were looking for a coffee that was a break from your typical dark roast around these parts. Americano was top notch and the food was delicious.

Got the salmon, it was as if the killed it a few minutes ago. Fresh and pristine as a fish could come. Highly recommend, every time I come to up this way I stop at this place

We went their for breakfast. The atmosphere is quite beautiful and the food is fresh and tasty. Conveniently very close to the lake. Friendly staff.

Friendly staff, efficient service, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (shaded and sunny) and some tasty food and coffee. Not much in the way of vegetarian sandwich options, but the one they do have is delicious. No complaints.

35 minutes for a 2 coffee order puts 2 stars down. Coffee wasn't particularly spectacular either sorry, but in Italy or even the east coast you don't wait for coffee.so my culture is different. Other then that, place is spacey, clean, polite service.

Our food was good, but the service was very slow. The restaurant was maybe about half full (including patio tables) and it took about 20+ minutes to get our orders.
The person who brought it out barely acknowledged us, even when my fiancée simply thanked her and asked how her day was going.
The place only has two washrooms for a larger patio and restaurant capacity; one was out of order.
Some may like the vibe here but we weren’t fans.

One of my favorites in the okanagan area yomi food, cute place, friendly staff also the merch is sooooo cool, (sometimes is to busy take your time)

Came here on a busy Sunday afternoon and ordered a beef sandwich with salad. The server gave us a wrong order and no fork for the salad. The place is understaffed. For 40 customers, there was only one server so the service was non-existent. Went up to the counter to ask for a fork but was ignored because the baristas were busy chatting amongst themselves. I thought maybe that was just an one off. My wife went up to ask for a to go cup, she was ignored as well. On a positive note, the food was good.

If you want to wait 35 min for a below average, overpriced sandwich plus a massive line this place is for you. Beyond ridiculous. Don't understand how this place stays busy.

We went here for breakfast twice whilst staying in Penticton. The food and coffee is lovely! The staff are very friendly and efficient. It was very busy both days we visited so be prepared to queue a little. It's worth the wait!

The woman running the till was beyond rude. She didn’t say hi and welcome or even ask us what we wanted, instead she eyed my girlfriend up and down and waited for us to tell her what we wanted. Wouldn’t recommend.

This place was bumping. So busy for good reason. Food and drinks were great. Grabbed some scones to go that were also amazing. Highly recommend stopping in.

I've been here a few times, and it's often very busy. Coffee and food is above average and we typically liked going however, last time my wife made an online order and when she went to pick it up at the pickup time they realized they never started it. She had to wait nearly 20 minutes and afterwards didn't get any explanation or apology. She emailed to let them know that the service wasn't up to typical pickup standards before making a bad review because typically we enjoyed the cafe. But with no response on the email I'm now here to give my 3 stars. Very disappointing. We went to the Bench market the next morning and I can say that the coffees and food are superior!

I had the winter toast with a soft egg. Beet hummus, blue cheese, fig jam, arugula and walnuts. It was simply fantastic! Make sure to get there early and scope out a table, this place is popular and busy.
I just got back from 2 weeks in Penticton and ordered this 2 more times! It’s so delicious.

World class café that happens to be in Penticton. All of the beverages and snacks we had over a few days were exceptional as was the service

Amazing coffee and breakfast sandwiches! Trendy aesthetic. Nice staff. Flow of the restaurant is a little awkard and cramped- people seem to always be in eachothers way when it’s busy.maybe they didn’t anticipate to be serving the numbers they do? ! (Entrance, line-up, waiting area, pickup spot and where staff bring food out/ plates back all in one corner)

Great open plan, vibrant coffee shop. Had a flat white and iced americano, both were fab. Nice staff too.

A must stop if you love your coffee!
It's always busy, but worth the wait! Great tasting coffee and a great atmosphere

Penticton’s first third-wave-esque café. Great selection of pastries and treats.

Their espresso and steamed drinks are hit or miss. I’ve had a fantastic cappuccino here before. Often times the cappuccinos are steamed way too hot, and the espresso is over extracted.
Wayne and Freda can be excellent depending who’s on bar.

Stopped here for a quick coffee and grabbed two jars of pickles - jalapeño and honey mustard. Mind blown! Pickles are amazing, coffee is great. Have to try another food item off of their menu next time I’m around

Blown away by the food. Was expecting a decent breakfast, but couldn't stop raving about the presentation and the flavors. Would give a 6th star if I could!

Great coffee! Great pastries! Great vibe. I'd go back (went twice in the three days I was in town)

Such a great place, had to wait a bit with it being the weekend but it was so worth it.
Amazing coffee, and the braised beef sandwich was unbelievable good.
The staff are super friendly and it has a great atmosphere.

Popped in this morning for a coffee and a snack. Great vibe, friendly staff, and one of the best lattes I’ve had in a while. This place trendy but inclusive. We observed people of all ages and demographics which felt very welcoming. Kid friendly too. I will be back.

Fantastic coffee and food. Americans London fog and skinny chai lattes are fantastic and the veg sandwich was perfect. Great people doing great things in a cool surround

It’s like 13 dollars for a price of toast with Avocado on it.the toast tasted fine but do your self a favour and just stay home and make your own for less than a quarter of the price that taste the same. If not you would be better off going to Starbucks or The Bench. Better coffee and reasonably priced food compared to this place.

Loved everything I ordered. The staff were so kind. They're also super fast at preparing orders, especially considering the amount of people that go there.

Very busy place with long lines. Food did not take long. Salmon toast had great presentation but not very substantial for $12+. Not a huge fan of the sprouts especially since the toast itself was full of nuts and seeds already. Order at the front and they will bring you your food if you choose to eat it in. Good to try.

Whether it's busy or quiet the place is spacey, clean, polite service and owns up to their status as a fave coffee spot. No need to gloat more. Just keep doing the things that make you successful

Get excited to visit this cafe every time I am in Penticton. Never fails to provide delicious coffee and food.

Stunning restaurant, ideal location, brilliant service and delicious food. Top 5 spots for us in Penticton! We make our breakfast sandwiches with sprouts now. Such a game changer. Sprout cut easily with your teeth co pared to lettuce or spinach.

Chai Latte and Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing completely satisfied my craving for an afternoon pick me up.

Great cappuccino, rude baristas. I could hear them talking about me behind the counter just now and staring at me.

Breakfast was good, little odd served with a pickled beet onion salad? Staff not very welcoming, otherwise a pretty good breakfast spot

My go to spot to grab a treat and a drink, hot or cold! Great coffee as well as other beverage choices for those non coffee lovers, like me.
Sitting in, nice atmosphere to socialize or get some work done.
Favorite spot in town.

Great staff, friendly and awesome atmosphere. The food is amazing fresh ingredients great flavors simple yet will blow your mind! I love going here for brunch and hanging out with my friends as we catch up on what seems like forever.

Excited to come here but the location was closed at 9 am. No update on webpage about holiday hours. Disappointed as we drove here specifically to try.
