December 17th at 1030 am my fiance and I went out for breakfast and thought "let's try here we have never been ". Everything was okay until we were served our food .the blonde woman with purple in her hair complimented my man which is okay he's handsome but she also rubbed his arm making him feel very uncomfortable , leaving me very upset. From there on it was a terrible experience . It was awkward and extremely unprofessional. I paid the bill, and let the waitress know ( older lady with red hair ) that I will not be tipping due to we tip for good service not physical touch. No apologies were said in response. So I assume they approve of this behavior and we will not be returning.

The Bear's Den is one of Penticton's best kept secrets. The owner - Brenda - is such an amazing person! Lots of fun interacting with her. The staff are also great - most of them have been there for years - which says a lot. If you're looking for a great Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch - this is a tough place to beat! Open from 7am - 2pm. Parking around the front & rear. I highly recommend trying the Bear's Den Restaurant!

Lovely place to get breakfast all day potatoes were crispy and delicious not my favorite style eggs were alittle runny wasn't asked what degree I'd like them baisted to but I'm sure I still could of asked to have them changed or cooked how I prefer them the rye toast was hearty and real real good 👍🏼 coffee was great and I heard the eggs beni was great aswell n complaints will be going here as often as I can and will be recommending this place to friends and family

Portions are generous, and food is as expected at a diner. Their service wasn't the best but the staff are quite young and probably still learning.

When you first walk in the young man that greater me was confused about the seating.... but only five customers were there.my coffee cup was filled with thing's that should not be ingested. Customers seem to enjoy them selves....meal was hot and timely. Brenda was polite and helpful. .. the beef dip was awesome 👌

I’m on the road quite a bit lately and always looking out for a decent place to eat that isn’t a fast food chain. I love a good, classic breakfast and Bear’s Den was just across the road from where I was staying. Thought I’d give it a try. I wasn’t disappointed. The food was fresh, hot, and perfectly cooked. I was the only person in the place at 7:00am, so my order got to me very quickly. The decor is a bit old, but has its charm. The staff is friendly and attentive. The price was pretty decent as well. Will definitely make this a regular stop whenever I’m in Penticton.

Tucked in amid the emerging hotel district by the Trade and Convention Centre, this is a great spot for breakfast and lunch comfort food. No frills, just great cooking. Fresh made burger and fries, and the house cabbage borscht were outstanding. Service was prompt even though the restaurant was quite busy. Prices are significantly below current market, an added bonus. It's easy to miss the entrance, and parking out front is limited; there's lots more around the back. Pay them a visit. You won't be disappointed. Recent upgrades to the menu are well worth checking out. Small adjustments in pricing, but still a great homemade bang for your buck. Standout among the news offerings is the Greek Eggs Benny. Brilliant twist on classic fare, perfectly prepared.

The coffee and pancakes were terrible. Took forever for the food to come out. The young man that brought the food out had the plate against his chest and his little bobs were touching the food. We waited for the bill but had to go up and get it ourselves. Felt ripped off. Wont be back.

Food is good, we had eggs benny and eggs were perfect. We really like the hollandaise. Service is friendly and really good. Atmosphere is quaint but a little loud . All in all we enjoy this restaurant and will continue to stop in on our way out of Penticton

Absolutely terrible. The food was atrocious, the service was nonexistent, and the vibes were just off at this place. The portion sizes are not the heartiest and the food overall was next to mediocre. We got seated a didn t receive menus for a good 10-12 minutes. Once the orders were placed, the food took forever to come out. Unfortunately it was not a good experience for a restaurant claiming to be Penticton s Best Breakfast place. Would not recommend.

Play spontaneously stopped in for breakfast as we were passing through and we very much enjoyed our meals. Mine was so cute I had to get a doggy bag staff were friendly but no one came to see how our meals were and if we wanted more coffee so I did have to flag somebody down. That would be my only recommendation is to check back on your customers once you serve their meals.

Usually I rarely write bad comments but this time I am really disappointed with the customer service. I ordered a hot chocolate while waiting for my meal and unfortunately the glass exploded on me I was lucky that the drink was not very hot but it could have been and at no time did anyone come to see me in the bathroom to see if it hadnt burned me or something. And as I was soaked and I tried to clean my clothes and the chocolate wouldnt come off I decided not to stay, I remained respectful and before leaving I still wanted to tell the waitress and she completely ignored us. Whatever is busy or not you should take time to talk with the customers when something happens and not ignore them even its not your fault so very bad service customer. At home I tried to clean my shorts and socks which were white and unfortunately I had to throw them away

June 22, 2024

What happened to this place? Have been here several times and encouraged others to come but not anymore. Upon entering a voice from somewhere else says to sit anywhere. Food came not as requested. No check back from server. Taste of food was not as good as made at home and in fact I went home and made breakfast for myself afterward. Server dropped off bill, Pay anytime. And that was it. May as well have gone to a drive thru. Think Ill hibernate instead of coming back.

Im not usually a negative review guy, to preface. But there was some really obvious things wrong with breakfast. The orange juice is $3.55 for what I would generously call a small glass. Everything else is priced as youd expect given how were all being price gouged with inflation. Some of the fruit was starting to turn when we got it, which was off-putting. But the most egregious thing, was the seasoning. The sausages were bland. Despite being hand packaged which I appreciate they were bland. Almost tasteless. And the hash browns were just barely cooked, and not so much as a fleck of seasoning. No pepper, no parsley, no garlic salt, hell I would have even just taken plain salt. It was just bland. Vegetarian options: They have fruit, although theres a good chance itll be bruised

Unfortunately a 1* for me. Calling themselves Penticton s Best Breakfast is a big stretch. The food is unseasoned and we had to order toast TWICE (and it took 8-10 minutes to come out each time) for it to not be burnt. The server asked why I didn t like it, I asked her if they use any spices or seasonings and they said no . If you want burnt, unseasoned food this is the place for you. In addition, the older server put her fingers all along the edge of the coffee pot where the coffee comes out of as she was talking to my grandma then proceeded to pour her a coffee where her dirty fingers were just all over, without even a second thought. In all: unhygienic, slow, tasteless.

Food was good, quality was good. Their blueberry pancakes were delicious. great prices. Only inconvenient part was they dont take tap wih their machine. Im one of those people when travelling I just go out with my phone and use google pay / samsung pay. We had to go back to our hotel and grab cards. So card and cash restaurant. NO TAP!! ****UPDATE ***** We had visited again in August 2023 and they had new pinpads.. So thanks for listening to the reviews and comments.. Had a great visit and food and portions are great. -will be back again.

When we arrived the server just pointed to our left and said in there. We got our coffees and orders taken quickly, food came reasonably fast but after that we never saw our server. She didnt check how our meals were or if we wanted more coffee. All we heard after we got our meals was an awful lot of noise from the kitchen. The omelet I ordered was great but 2 others at my table werent happy with their meals. Wheelchair accessibility: Very close to the door

$3.35 each for a coffee and a hot chocolate. Are you kidding me? How much does a jar of coffee cost in the store an how many cups can you make? Outrageous. The sausage was getting close to shoe leather and I could tell they are really stretching the egg mix to make scramble eggs because they tasted weak. In addition I noticed we were the only table that was not served water, even though a person who looked like the owner was serving it to other tables. Definitely will not go there again. Parking: Park was adequate with parking in the front and the back. Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the door so a small wheelchair should be able to get inside

Hands down the best breakfast place in the entire Penticton area. Loved being greeted and having a chat with the new owner who just recently took over the business, he was super busy and even regularly checked in with us to make sure everything was perfect. Every time i go i get something new and every dish has been next level tasty. Check this place out!

Meh! The food was alright, nothing special. They boast they have the best brunch in pentiction and have won awards in the past...but I think that ship sailed.

Honestly the ommlette i had tasted like water the ham and mushrooms surrounded by a thin layet of egg and a pinch of cheese was underwhelming ... really sad considering multiple awards on walls ....

Good value for money. They offer lunch for small appetites (for one of the dishes, at least). The coffee doesnt taste much, but I imagine some people like it that way. We went there two days in a row, and on the 2nd day, I took the low carb with fruit, and I had a lot of difficulty digesting.

So far everything is very tasty and well served... It shows that it is a family place, most of the girls are very friendly.

Watched people who came in behind us get seated first, ordered our food and they forgot to make when we asked after 45 minutes. Waited another 30 minutes with empty glasses on our table and never once got asked if we wanted more. Never waited so long for a simple dish of just eggs pancakes and bacon.

The food is not good and the people who take the order are very rude.

After biking around to a bunch of different spots with long waits we stumbled upon Bears Den. Incredibly friendly service, delicious and hearty brunch and a really humble and fun atmosphere. No frills, just the essentials. It was so great we came back the next morning! Fabulous little find!

Great option to have breakfast in Penticton, I love the bacon and hotcakes both were so delicious. The bad thing is that we wait around 30 or 40 min to get our order but it was worth it.

It is a modest place where they serve very good and tasty breakfasts at a good price. I recommend them because they take very good care of the preparation of what they serve and also because you can tell that it is a local place where they are very eager and do their best to be friendly even though when we went it was full and you could tell that they were short of personal. Without hesitation I would have breakfast at that place again. Parking: It has plenty of parking since it is located next to the Penticton Hotel Kid-friendliness: They have special chairs for children Wheelchair accessibility: It has an access ramp for wheelchairs.

Pros: Good service Decent food Cons: No tap Too many house flies flying around the dining room area. gross. Will not go back. (Wanted to leave but the rest of my party were tired and hungry and were tired of driving around trying to find a place to eat).

December 22, 2022

Not impressive at all. I can t figure out why the reviews are good! Food was average as was the service. The place needs cleaning up as it didn t seem all that clean. Needs new paint on walls. Bathroom was gross.

The coffee was see through. The sausage was cooked to the point of dust. Took 30 mins to get food.

December 22, 2022

We heard rave reviews so we went. We waited 45 mins for our breakfast. Eggs were cold, pancakes were cold as well and undercooked. Bacon was cold and tasteless. Coffee was watered down. Will not go back. Staff was friendly though

Solid value. Forget about avacado toast! I went here for a traditional breakfast. Food was cooked exactly as orderd. Support a family business. Go try this place.

We recently moved to the area and saw the sign for voted Pentictons best breakfast decided to give it a try. My husband and I had the eggs benedict, his with ham, mine with avocado. The English muffin was so hard we couldnt cut through, my avocado was more black than green. We asked for a side of fries that were cold and over fried, like how??? It was like a babys handful of fries. The portions are small, we left still hungry. Orange juice was warm, asked for ice and the ice came in a dirty glass. Not once did anyone come to ask how the food was, nor did anyone fill my coffee cup! Please tell me that penticton has a better breakfast than this!?!?! Some reviews say that it used to be good I see, what happened????

First time at this place offering itself as best breakfast in Penticton so I went out of my way to try it. One very attentive waitress (not mine) who seated me vs a very disinterested one (mine) who got my order wrong and dropped the bill on the table as she walked by without a word not to be seen again. The meal was average at best. Cant recommend this place.

The service/food is very good but the noise is discouraging. I would like to see some acoustic panels to absorb the the ricochet of co stand chatter. I was eating g there and had to speak louder to be heard which ads to the overall audio distraction.
