About Bike Shop Cafe and Catering
A cafe that also caters is really two operations sharing one kitchen: the morning counter trade, and the trays and platters that go out the door to offices, meetings and small events. Bike Shop Cafe and Catering works from 1357 Ellis Street in downtown Kelowna, inside the block grid that holds the city's offices and civic buildings, which is the natural catchment for both halves of that business.
Catering runs on lead time. If you need food for a meeting or a gathering, call 250-861-6858 well before the date and ask about minimum orders, how much notice a change to the headcount needs, whether delivery and setup are included, and how dietary restrictions are handled. Those four questions decide most of the outcome. For the counter side of things, the website is the place to look before heading over.
Downtown sits at the north end of Kelowna's lakefront, and its weekday rhythm is set by the offices around it rather than by the beaches. That makes mornings and the lunch hour the busiest stretch on Ellis Street, and it makes summer weekends a different crowd entirely, when visitors come up off the waterfront parks looking for shade and coffee. Street parking near the civic blocks turns over quickly, so a short walk is often faster than a close spot.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
Kelowna's retail splits into three non-overlapping centres, and knowing which one you need saves an afternoon of driving. Bernard's boutiques, Pandosy's independents, the highway belt's boxes, and the farmers market above them all.
