About Stillfood Bistro & Cappuccino Bar
A room that pulls espresso in the morning and serves a proper plate at midday has to be two things at once, and the switch between them is harder than it looks from a table. Stillfood Bistro & Cappuccino Bar sits at 75 Front Street in downtown Penticton, tucked into the core a short walk from the Okanagan Lake beaches at the north end of the city.
The combination is a useful one for a compact downtown. It means a place to sit with a coffee and nothing else, and equally a place to eat without the ceremony of a full restaurant. What that looks like in practice differs from one such room to the next: some serve all day, others run distinct breakfast and lunch services and close in between, and outdoor seating is not a given at every location. Anyone with a dietary requirement, a group larger than four, a preference for sitting outside, or a fixed hour to work around is best off phoning 778-559-3663 and settling it in advance.
The season is the thing to plan around. From June to September the city fills with visitors, the channel between the two lakes runs busy with floaters all afternoon, and every downtown room feels it. Mid-August adds the Peach Festival, a fixture here for generations, which puts far more people than usual within a few blocks of Front Street. Stillfoodbistro.ca is the natural first stop, and going early rather than at the obvious hour is the usual local answer to a summer crowd.

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.
