It's a sizeable restaurant that can accommodate multiple large groups.

They did have a lot of sauce options though!

I was expecting typical diner fare in taste and presentation. This wasn't. The menu was missing some items I've come to expect on diner menus but was full of excellent sounding spins on diner classics. The food - boy do they deliver. Excellent! The service - super friendly, though not exactly attentive. On a hot summer day, it was disappointing that we were not offered refills on drinks. 5 stars for food, took one away because of service (and the fact that we left the restaurant and went down the street to a cafe to purchase lemonade to quench our thirst).

Got to try venison taco the first time. Got a bite of all the different tacos and honestly thought all of them were really good. Their baked yeye bannock reminded me of a sweeter and less dense version of artisan rolls. Good price and a good portion.

I admit, I had ZERO idea what bannock is, but my kid had heard of this small cafe and she really…read morewanted to try it, so who am I to say no?!! Reading the other reviews, I see I'm not alone in stopping here en route to Penticton (it's a good mid-point for a break). There's a small parking strip on the side of the building. I love supporting smaller shops and cafes, and this particular one is indigenous-owned so it seems extra special! Love the motto, too: "Don't panic..We have bannock!". Cute! The cafe is small but clean, with Indigenous artwork on the walls. Of course we ordered bannock! I ordered a maple one, and my kid ordered a berry one (might've been the Saskatoon berry, I forget). I'll be honest, they were absolutely delicious, and fresh, and fluffy and sweet and glazed, but mine absolutely did NOT have much of a maple taste - like, AT ALL. It was like the glaze on a Krispy Kreme glazed donut. Delicious, yes, and sugary, but not maple-y. My kid's berry one was very subtle in its berry flavor. Again, excellent, but not knock-out berry-y. To me, these treats were similar to donuts without the holes. More like fluffy fritters. Delicious, but not as unique as I thought they'd be. As for the coffees....my maple latte, again, sadly, did not taste at ALL maple-y. But it was an excellent coffee: very smooth and flavorful. You could tell the beans were excellent. There just was no maple taste. But my kid had a berry latte (again, I forget what kind), but this drink was EXCELLENT and it totally DID have a distinct berry flavor to it, and it was wonderful! (We both tried both bannocks and both lattes, and we both agreed on this review). We didn't try the sandwiches but they looked quite good. They also had some cute Kekuli Cafe merch for sale.
