Cafés in Penticton
Coffee in Penticton starts early and often outdoors. Roasters and bakeries pour along Main Street and the surrounding downtown blocks, lakeside seats fill at first light along the Okanagan Beach promenade, and cyclists heading onto the Kettle Valley rail trail fuel up before the climb toward Naramata. Patio season stretches long here, and several shops keep summer hours that differ from winter ones. Listings carry both, so check before planning the stop.
