Found this place while in town for the iron-man. Saved my life. The only place where I could get a good breakfast and great espresso! Seems like everything else in town for breakfast was a greasy spoon. They're organic, make their own scones, most of the food is organic, ranged raised and local... plus many other things. Pulled pork sandwich is the fantastic!

The Bench is one of our local gems. As Vancouver Hill rises from Front Street, this is your last, year-round stop for fresh-brewed coffee and delcious deli-style breakfasts and lunches before the bustling burg of Naramata Village 15 minutes down the road.
Great coffee, tea, chai and other hot drinks, plenty of imaginative in-house baked goods and a great selection of pannini, casseroles, salads and all things deli. While you wait for your order, browse the aisles for a jar or package of something unique like pastas, pickles, crackers, cheeses or beverages; many made locally. There's outdoor seating when the weather is fine, a place to park your bike and some great people watching. "Meet you at the Bench" is becoming a standard line for rendevous among locals and visitors.
Tip: The staff here make some great takeaway platters if you've got an event that needs catering. -

When we drove by this cute little market I suspected that it might be the perfect place to get some cheese plate supplies. My suspicions were correct, we stopped in the next day close to closing and found everything that we needed, no, more that we expected for our dinner. I had specifically wanted black olive tapende for some reason & not only did they have it, it was a house-made version and it was perfect, lemony, and delicious.
Their cheese selection was small, but we found a nice stinky rind ripened cheese & a lemon cheve, both BC made and very good. We also grabbed some roasted artichokes and lentil salad from their deli case, and a loaf of locally made rye bread that has just been delivered.
The staff were very accommodating, especially since we were interrupting them from their closing tasks.
The Bench Market also sells deli sandwiches, frozen handmade meals to go, various crackers, nuts and jams. I believe they also had an espresso machine (we aren't caffeine addicts).Listed in: Wineaversary in the Oakanagan

Damn good sandwiches! I had the curried pork wrap. They also have a good selection of high end groceries and some decent-priced food to take out.

Stopped here to pick-up panninis. Small selection, but tasty. expect to pay in the $9 range. They also carry a selection of cheeses (including Poplar Grove's), crackers & chips. Some sweet items and lots of condiment items.
