About CeCe's Coffee
Coffee is one of the more crowded trades in Kelowna, which means the small differences carry the weight: where the beans come from, whether there is room to sit, how early the doors open for the crews heading out to a job. CeCe's Coffee works from 730 Vaughan Ave, on the northern edge of downtown Kelowna, a few blocks back from the offices and the waterfront parks at the centre of it.
Downtown holds the offices, the museums and the blocks that step down to the waterfront parks, and a coffee counter set back from the busiest of that tends to serve a different crowd through the day than one on a tourist street, which is to say working people early and a slower drift of neighbours later on. The core is compact enough to cross on foot, which is unusual in a city that otherwise expects a drive between districts, and Vaughan Ave sits close enough to Highway 97 to suit anyone passing through rather than staying.
Call 236-766-1698 or look at cecescoffee.ca before heading over, particularly outside the summer months, since counters away from the waterfront often keep a different winter rhythm from the lakeshore places. If you are picking up for an office or a job site, phoning first saves everyone standing around, and it is worth asking whether the room is set up for sitting or built mainly for takeaway. Kelowna spreads out enough that a five minute drive across town can be the difference between a warm cup and a cold one, so plan the trip around where you are already going.

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.
