About Sweet Leaf Bakery & Cafe
Morning has a shape in a small city, and cafes carry a fair amount of it. The first hour belongs to work vehicles and people on their way somewhere, the middle of the morning to conversations that run longer than anyone planned, and the early afternoon to whoever happens to be passing through. Sweet Leaf Bakery and Cafe holds a spot at 1151 10 Avenue Southwest.
A combined bakery and cafe is really two operations sharing one room. The bake happens early and finishes when it finishes, which is why the case looks different at eight in the morning than it does at two in the afternoon, while the coffee side runs steadily from open to close. What varies between one place and another is the balance: how much is made on site, whether there is a proper lunch service, how many seats there are, and whether larger orders can be arranged with notice. Those are all fair questions for a phone call.
Salmon Arm draws people in from a wide area, and a cafe on the southwest side of the city catches both regulars and the traffic moving between town and the Trans-Canada corridor. Summer changes the rhythm completely, with lake visitors, houseboat crews and festival crowds pushing the middle of the day well past its usual level. The number is 250 832 2059 and there is more at sweetleafbakeryandcafe.ca, both useful if you are arranging something for a group rather than simply stopping in for a coffee on your way past.
