About Marmalade Bakery
Bakeries run on an early clock. The work is largely finished by the time most people are awake, which is why the best of it goes first and why an afternoon visit is a different experience from a morning one. Marmalade Bakery is at 3480 Skaha Lake Rd, in a building shared with two other businesses at the southern end of the city.
The trade spans daily bread and pastry at one end and made to order work at the other. Anything for a celebration, a wedding, a birthday or a large gathering generally needs notice, sometimes a good deal of it in summer, and the conversation about size, flavour and collection is best had early. For an ordinary morning the practical advice is simply to go earlier than seems necessary. Anyone buying around an allergy should ask directly about what else is handled in the same kitchen, since flour, nuts and dairy travel easily across a small production space.
That end of Skaha Lake Road is an easy drive from anywhere in the city, with parking that avoids the summer scramble nearer the beaches, and the lake at the south end of town is close enough to make a bag of pastries and a bench a reasonable plan. Marmaladepenticton.com is the place to check before making a special trip. Penticton fills up between June and the Peach Festival in the middle of August, and food businesses across the city feel it.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
