Wayne & Freda, nestled in the heart of Penticton, is more than just a café; it’s a vibrant community hub that beckons with its inviting atmosphere and delectable offerings. Located at 249 Westminster Ave W, this spot has quickly gained a reputation among locals and visitors alike. Patrons rave about the coffee, with many, like Helen Edley, praising the exceptional decaf that sparked a desire to take some home. Kim Lishman notes the delightful twist on seasonal flavors, favoring the Pumpkin Spice Latte over chain store alternatives, while also recommending the Lavender White Mocha for its subtle yet delicious essence. Breakfast enthusiasts will find joy in dishes like the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Mediterranean Bowl, celebrated by Daniel Silver for their quality and flavor. Chris Ross aptly points out the café's ability to rival larger chains, emphasizing the peaceful vibes whether indoors or on the spacious patio. With friendly service and a well-organized setting, Wayne & Freda creates an inviting space that's ideal for unwinding or enjoying a meal. The only minor critique is the desire for more variety, yet the overall experience makes it a must-visit destination for coffee and brunch lovers in the Okanagan Valley.

Reviews For Wayne & Freda

This was our coffee and breakfast stop on our last morning before we headed back to Vancouver Island. We checked out of the Airbnb and came straight here. I liked the decaf so much that I brought a bag to bring home with me. All the meals we had were fabulous. I highly recommend this place.

Came here for coffee and ended up spending a small fortune in the lovely gift shop next door. My partner tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte which I preferred to the chain store version and I got the Lavender White Mocha which was a subtle flavour but delicious. The cafe has a lively community vibe to it and pleased to report very wheelchair accessible! A must try if in the area

Great space with good food. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was definitely the best but I also enjoyed the Mediterranean Bowl. The Bacon Sandwich was a hit with the kids. Great spot for breakfast given the earlier hours versus other places in Penticton. The shop section seemed interesting but a bit overpriced.

This wonderful coffee shop sets the bar higher than Tim or Bucks could ever achieve. The fantastic coffee selection can be taken to-go but may be best enjoyed in their nice coffee shop atmosphere. There is a patio for warmer weather as well. Indoors or out, this is a peaceful spot to grab a cup and watch the world go by. There is also a large food menu, branded merch and Pemmican. That's right, Pemmican! If you don't know then you better hustle on down there and check it out. Added bonus: You could take your favorite coffee shop beverage to enjoy on the nearby beach and watch the sunrise over Okanagan lake. What could be better?

Very nice place for breakfast and brunch downtown Penticton. Spacious patio for very nice seating. Vibes are great and place is well organized. Staff are busy but provide excellent service with their marvellous smile. Food and drinks are amazing but I think they need to increase more varieties. I like it

Very good coffee (5/5) and their bacon breakfast sandwiches were very tasty (5/5)! The atmosphere has a cool vibe and has a large outdoor patio. Def come here for coffee and a breakfast bun! Best bacon ever!

Charming place tucked away in a quiet part of downtown. Coffee was delicious and a very aromatic blend. The baked goods were flavourful and packed with ingredients. I liked the carrot cake! Parking a little tough to find in the area. There’s a little gift shop next door. Would come again.

I popped in for the first time today and what an absolute joy it was! The staff here are so warm and kind. The shop next door to the coffee is immaculately curated. Really stunning. This spot is so well worth a visit!
