Today is a celebration of the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. In Penticton we are grateful everyday to live, work and play on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the syilx Okanagan people, who have been here for thousands of years. Happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

☕ Attention coffee lovers! Don't miss these 3 cozy cafes in Downtown Penticton.
1) Wayne & Freda | @wayneandfreda
Wayne and Freda serves up sustainable coffee and tasty breakfast plates with healthy options as well. I ordered a matcha late and the winter toast, and thoroughly enjoyed both! Don't forget to check out their merchandise and treat yourself to a local gift.
2) Petrasek Bakery | @petrasekbakery
Petrasek Bakeryis an artisan European bakery where everything is traditionally handcrafted and made from scratch. Aromas of freshly baked goods will easily lure you in from the sidewalk. The almond croissant was fantastic (seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten), and paired perfectly with a classic cappucino.
3) Caffe al Sociale | @socialecaffe
Caffe al Sociale offers a welcoming atmosphere, where you can enjoy a hot drink while admiring views of Okanagan Lake. Order your favorite espresso beverage (I loved the cafe mocha) and a treat from their daily selection of delicious baked goods.
