Really nice spot and good food. I had the lamb dip with coleslaw which was very good! My hubby had the egg salad sandwich - it was huge and really good. The homemade pickles were a nice touch. Wish I had scooped the last raspberry muffin it looked extra yummy.

This is my "go-to" spot for coffee & a quick lunch or breakfast. Can't comment on too many of their menu items because I always get the Bacon 'n Egger - delicious!

Always Fresh, local and amazing . Their fresh squeezed Lemonade in the summer is to Die for, I crave it on a regular basis. Sandwichs, muffins and Salads are all fantastic, by far one of my Fav stops when Im in Penticton

Went in to the Bench about 1 PM on a Monday, the place was packed! (Only a couple of tables left). I made my way to the back and ordered a veggie-burger. I got a pay-slip and a sign for my table. Dashed up front to the tables and claimed one of the two remaining with my sign, and after... More

Whether it's for a post-ride coffee or more of a proper lunch, I absolutely adore The Bench. Every time I visit Penticton, I make a trip to The Bench almost every day of the visit. The coffee is always top notch, the sandwiches and salads are always unique and fresh, with the menu changing up from time to time so... More

We loved this deli/restaurant so much that we went two days running to have the eggs benny. A little hard to find but persevere. Happy staff, excellent food and a shop to browse in.

This is a great breakfast and lunch spot. It is also a good place to take out of town guests. The atmosphere is warm and friendly without being pretentious. I had the veg eggs benny last time and it was the best eggs benny I had ever eaten!

Neat little place. Great muffins and neat breakfast/brunch specials. Food is very good and the atmosphere old fashioned and cool ... better in the summer months as they have a nice outdoor patio. The cafe (coffee) is hit and miss as I have enjoyed good to fairly lousy latte's ... wish they could get it bang on as for me... More

A hidden gem in Penticton. Great healthy food and a great atmosphere inside or on the patio area. An experience.

The BC 3 Sandwich is a must have. My only critcism is they don' t have it all year. But great fortune it is fall & they have it now. I phoned friends from the restaurant to tell them about the sandwich. Yes, it's that good! Also, super helpful staff and funky atmosphere.
