The Bench Market - Penticton, British Columbia

It was a very nice experience having breakfast there using the cafeteria style where you order your food and drinks, take a small stand with a number, find a seating area weather inside or outside at the patio and then sit and wait for your order to be ready. Food ... was great (good variety of options). Staff were nice smiling all the time. Patio was amazing and gave you good sense of freshness and happiness. Read more

Omg, the breakfast burrito with chorizo and avocado knocked me down in a symphony of ecstasy and perfect harmony of taste and fullness. This place has a great atmosphere too. Friendly and prompt service! Government should take a few notes!

This place is fine. I was surprised by the cafeteria style - you need to order at the counter and then find a seat. It was chaotic, and I didn't see any signage telling us to order at the counter, so we waited outside for a while while folks who ... worked there just walked past us. Once I figured it out and went inside, it was so cramped that I felt pressure to read the menu as fast as possible. Ended up going to the table and asking my partner to order for me as I couldn't handle the rushed vibe of the interior. I watched as he was inside, several other folks experience the same thing - arriving, waiting outside, looking confused, and some even choosing to leave. The food itself was fine, but the portions were small, and my toast felt... cheap? I am a hash brown enthusiast, and there wasn't any. My partner had a single small potato with his meal, not crispy. That's not bad, but it's not my cup of tea. Read more

A busy and popular place for weekend brunch. The Bench Market is a cafeteria style place where you order and pay at the counter then they bring the food to your table. The staff are all efficient and smiley to make this experience pleasant. The food quality is tasty.

Sausage and Eggs is only available on weekends and is amazing. Loved the slow cooked beans with caramelized onion that has, I think, pulled pork in it. The Bench Breakfast and Breakfast Burrito was stellar too. Can't go wrong. The turmeric latte and mocha was great. They have soy milk. ... Nice vibe with lots of outdoorsy people coming in. Takeaway sandwiches looked great if you want to bring on hike too. Read more
