Fantastic little gem of Penticton. The coffee, food and service was above and beyond. Will be making this my go-to every time I come through this way!
Enjoyed a delicious brunch this morning. Beautiful spot by the lake, high quality fresh food, reasonable prices and it tasted amazing! Almost forgot to mention great coffee! Will definitely return soon.
Excellent location few minutes walk from the central beach. Cozy tables inside or chairs and umbrellas near the lake. The atmosphere genuinely feels as if you've stepped either back in time or across the pond. Not to mention a strong, no nonsense cappuccino and breakfast for less than $10 which is almost unheard of so close to tourist areas.
Great view of course and delicious coffee and baked goods. Love that you can grab a chair and sit outside for a coffee!!
During a business trip to Penticton, I stumbled upon this charming cafe and it was an absolute delight! I started my day with the Prague Breakfast and a drip coffee, which were both delicious. Later, I indulged in their homemade ginger tea, and it was perfection. Not only was the food and drink exceptional, but the view and service were also unbeatable. The owner is incredibly friendly, and it’s heartwarming to see how many regulars come in and call him by name. He took the time to chat with me and even shared some valuable travel tips for exploring the area. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and plan to bring my family along. I can’t wait to try their cakes and experience the warm hospitality of this lovely cafe again!
Cute and cozy little cafe, very intimate space, friendly service, delicious coffee. The carrot cake is divine. Lots of interesting desserts and small bites.
our new favorite café! quaint, cozy, feels like a home away from home 😌🤎 we'll definitely be regulars 🥰 • LOVED Prague Café's Lattes ☕️ The perfect espresso + steamed milk + foam on top 👌 They didn't need any sweeteners, they're perfect as they are 🥰 Definitely a 🔟! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • mine: Carrot Cake - 9.5/10 Omg, found a new favorite carrot cake! They were freshly baked when we came in, so the contrast between the warm cake and the cold whipped cream definitely added to the deliciousness that was the cake itself already 🥹 The best part is that the owner, Vienna, baked it herself! 🤩 • dadda's: Roastbeef sandwich - 8/10 Was so giddy to hang out in this café as the homey vibe was infectious 💕 Vienna was SO SWEET and kind, and we chatted for a bit about her, her family, their life coming to Canada from Prague, how they started, and how this was also what we wanted in the future for us. Can't wait to come back and bring Xander with us!
The food was amazing, way better than I expected. They have seating scross the road with a view of the lake which was fantastic.
Excellent pause in any day
Very mediocre. Would not recommend.
Great food and great owner!
Breakfast was simple but delicious.
Ive been here before for coffee and baked goods, but decided to take out of town company for lunch. The sandwiches were absolutely amazing! We ordered the turkey dinner, the roast beef and the croissant one that I cant recall the name of. We all very much enjoyed our food while sitting by the beach. The service was great as well, the fellow was friendly. Forgot to take pics because we were all hungry and dove right into our food. Will be back again to try the rest of the sandwiches!
The carrot cake is the best I have ever tried
A quiet little place tucked out of the way with amazing bakery goods. So worth the drive from kelowna!!
Owner was so helpful
Beatiful, understated and cozy with a gorgeous view of the lake. The sandwiches are absolutely to die for. I will definitely be back next time Im in Penticton.
Lovely cafe with a lake view. Prague breakfast was amazing; and so were coffee and baked goods. Highly recommend visiting.
It s tiny and expensive, not on my list of places to visit again. Penticton has coffee shops with way better coffee and atmosphere
One of our favorite places for coffee in the city for sure!
Great coffee shop/cafe situated beach front! Excellent coffee and lots of tasty pastries. Superb service!
Great coffee
Place has awesome coffee, an awesome view of the lake, and great staff. Nothing else to ask for in a place like this! Will definitely visit again!
Cozy cafe, delicious sandwiches and hot chocolate! Eat with a view! And kid friendly!
Go here after every cycling ride. Baked goods are so good and always fresh with fresh whip cream. Love the coffee and you get one free refill. Micheal is always friendly and happy
kind gentleman and smiling
Not a bad little coffee shop on the water!
Nice home baking, and the tables on the grass by the lake are devine!
Great americano and home baked apple strudel. Nice location. They have chairs and tables on the grass by the beach across the road where you can have their food/drinks.
A lovely, family run cafe with delicious coffee, fresh food, and beautiful lake views. This is clearly a local favorite and I can see why.
Delicious home made sandwiches and great baked goods.
This was a great place to pop into before we went to the BC fire chiefs expo. We didn t have very long and we didn t want to have too much food. This menu has enough options that we were able to find exactly what we needed. The croissants were wonderful, and the strudel was also delicious.
Its a nice little spot and I do mean little. Coffee is legit perhaps not copious but very good. Try the grilled cheese!
If you get the chance, try the Strawberry Lemonade! Made fresh from real fruits and is utterly divine!!
Very good spot for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Very friendly family business. And the seatings outside and across the street overlooking the beach cant be beat. We were a large group and we tried many things from the menu and most of it was delicious and very well made. The two suggestions I would have that the poppy seed cake needs to have less poppy seeds in it, sometimes less is more. The other thing I would suggest is that they buy more fluffy, buttery, crispy croissants. The peach cakes were fabulous, all sandwiches were great, and the coffee was well made and with good quality beans. Their chai latte was also very good. Overall, highly recommend.
Sandwiches were just not good. Could use more effort
Great spot for a coffee and a snack
Cafe. What a little gem of a place to stop off for a coffee, & a delightful array of homemade baking. Although I noticed it was up for sale, shame as the owner from Prague was a delightful chap & was so pleased to hear i had visited his hometown. An hour well spent.
Disappointed by the Thanksgiving sandwich. The photo on the wall looks like a loaded sandwich on artisan bread. The reality is skimpy on the filling and its on regular sandwich bread. Also the London Fog tastes like black tea without the Earl Grey/bergamot flavourful.
Great place to get a sandwich.
Great coffee and pastries. Definitely try the lemon and poppy seed desert. So good!
Nice coffee. Great location on the beach.
Delicious coffee at the most affordable price. Will be sad to see this place close
Delicious authentic czech baked goods and very good price point! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere, well made drinks. Wish this place could stay forever.
Its a very good ambience Food é + /- Service well cared for, smiles thank-you and nice reception Vegetarian options: Yeah No problem with that whatsoever Dietary restrictions: Oh they can restrict, yes; they well rehearsed on that too Parking: Good location 5000+places Hi surveillance 24/7 Very cheap Kid-friendliness: They have probably the biggest playground for children in the EEU. For very small, small, toddlers, all way up to 10 years old. They even have in-house babysitters! Seriously its safe, they look after the little buggers and feed them downstairs while you upstairs relaxing wining and dining without a care in the world!!!!! Wheelchair accessibility: Everywhere from parking lot to restrooms shopping areas,elevators, view deck
FRESH!!! Delicious. COLOURFUL! Perfect little gem of a cafe. Run by a lovely woman. Homemade cakes and loaves line the counter and make a sweet aroma when you enter. Not only is the food and coffee delicious, but the view over the lake is exquisite. Really a fabulous place for breakfast, lunch and coffee!!! Vegetarian options: Yes! Yes!!
Complete with a stack of Adirondack chairs available to carry across the street to a huge patch of grass by the lake!
Super nice owner and very cozy inside, can only recommend :)
... it was like I was back in Europe again. Cant wait to go back to this little Cafe on the lakeside.
Poor service and overpriced for what you get. My sandwich was missing ingredients from what was on the menu. The barista wasn t friendly.
Lovely cafe on the lake, friendly service, home baked European goodies, my husband and I had delicious soup and apple strudel w pink whipping cream!
The Prague Breakfast plate was excellent.
Hole in the wall, so friendly! Coffee will get you in the door but the baked treats keep you coming back for more. The owner so so friendly, geat atmosphere. Saw him help a customer carry items to her carand see her off well. You dont see that at a starbucks.
Service was prompt and food delicious
Very good food in a small space run by someone who clearly enjoys what they do
This place is awesome. Right on the beach and the food and prompt service was amazing
Good coffee and great homemade desserts
Nice spot. Good coffee and treats.
Great place, super pastries
The best! Great cakes, good coffee, and nice staff.
Best apple strudel!
Best place to have breakfast by the lake. They have wonderful European cakes to go with your Coffee.
New owners. Food is not tasty. Used cheese singles on cheap hamburger patty.
Grabbed breakfast and ate it across the street at the tables on the grassy area. Great treats, London fog and breakfast options.
Delicious lattes, amazing cakes and breads, and the seating across the street on the grass overlooking the beach and lake is so nice!
The food is awesome, the views exceptional and the service is FANTASTIC!! We visit every time we go to Penticton
Carrot cake, blueberry and strawberry pies were delicious. All the rest I didn t enjoy. The blueberries in my Garden breakfast weren t fresh and the avocado had dark spots in it. The croissant wasn t good either. My son had a grilled cheese and he didn t like it. I also didn t feel very welcomed there
Awesome sandwiches & great service
Amazing sandwiches!!
The food was delicious. I had a big piece of ginger cake and a mocha afterwards. I will be back for sure.
Cute,quaint little restaurant. Had excellent dessert and good coffee. Spectacular view of Okanagan Lake. Ate meal out across from restaurant, overlooking the lake. They had bistro tables/chairs and lawn chairs to sit in and relax and enjoy the views. Will definitely go back again.
Very good food and snacks to have with your coffee.
It has a nice location on the water and the staff is friendly. I had a sandwich, which was very ordinary. My cafe mocha was decent.
Great food and drinks from a family run establishment.
Visiting penticton for the first time and spent the day at the beach. Had an iced coffee and a milkshake Best I have ever had. The owner was friendly and polite. Had authentic European homemade baking and pastries in the shop looked delicious right down the local fresh fruit ! Thank you so much will be back for more
Very tasty and super informative for our future vacation.
Always excellent
Tasty food, friendly service, great view!
Kind staff, good food, local business, close to the beach. What else could you ask for?
What a fantastic experience! Certainly a gem to Penticton. Owner is very friendly and taking in the view of the lake while enjoying your morning coffee makes for a great start of your day. Thank you!!
Nice and cosy cafe
Excellent coffee and home made cakes and tarts! Just lacks a better dehor space
Amazing caprese croissant sandwich and the iced cafe latte is also amazing! Definitely coming back the next time I am in the area.
Very good cafe, wonderful quality of food.
Wonderful European coffee and cakes. Well worth a visit!
Delicious Coffee!!!
Visiting from out of province. I was impressed. Very nice quaint little cafe. Service was incredibly friendly and the food delicious. The dessert was amazing as was the coffee. Will definitely stop by again before I leave the province.
Food was basic but fresh and tasty. Can sit across the road on tables by the lakeside; certainly recommend
Such a good cafe! I had no idea it was there tucked away - the best hot chocolate I ve had since I was in Prague. Great customer service and the baked goods are out of this world.
Didnt get anything as they were out of ice for my iced coffee, But I stopped by to check it out. Very nice and cozy place. The gentleman working there was friendly. I would bring someone here.
The best coffee in Penticton
Excellent food and service. Totally European.
Good Coffee, best Pastries excellent service. Sometimes you have to wait a while especially when its busy. But the wait is worth while.
Decent.a little pricey for amount of food, owner was lovely though, and the latte was on point.
Absolutely always loved this place! The owner is kind of food and drink is always great the view is amazing. I hope there are there for many years to come I love the Prague Cafe!
Beautiful little cafe across from a lovely little Beach on Okanagan Lake. Coffee and pastries. Local art on display for viewing and for purchase
Great coffee, nice place to enjoy lake view with coffee. Person who wored was lovely and allow me to put my bike battery to change.
Excellency family take out restaurant. Had great hot chocolate and strudel and ate them on the lawn across from the beach . Wonderful
Always great coffee, soup, sandwiches and desserts. Michel is very obliging!
Delicious food and friendly service!
We had the most amazing breakfast there. Highly recommended!
The Prague Cafe is a hidden gem, awesome baker/owner. Outside seating within steps to beach. Some prices a little higher than usual, but the quality & service make up for it.
Great coffee stop....thankyou..
Hidden gem is correct ! Incredible food and drinks and a nice little vibe. Love it.
Great little place that not everyone knows about, love the atmosphere but coffee could use a little work.
Nice little coffee shop with a great view of the beach. Motorcycle friendly parking on the street out front.
Honestly kind of disappointed after seeing how good the reviews were. The lady taking my order seemed uninterested and a bit annoyed. We ordered the ham and cheese croissant sandwich and it was mediocre. Not sure what everyone else is seeing but I was underwhelmed.
Always a pleasure Food, atmosphere, staff is sweet. I need to go again!!
Good breakfast sandwich. And coffee. Quaint little spot with A cool vibe. Good service and yes I will return. Thankyou
Nice nice nice.
I love this place. I go every time i visit. The fruit cake is amazing
Excellent service. A nice family business and everything is fresh and great. One of the best place to start your day. I recommend :)
Discovered this wonderful cafe by accident. Has some of the best food I have tasted and some amazing desserts for after.
A great little cafe with a beautiful seating area outside right next to the beach. The coffee was fantastic and man who served me (presumably the owner) was extremely friendly. I highly recommend this place and will be returning soon to try the food.
The owner here is extremely friendly. This place feels like a hidden gem in penticton away from all of the tourist traps. It s prices are extremely reasonable and has a great view of the lake ! Make sure you try the fruit cake.
Very nice place
Freshly baked croissants!!! Oven-warm!! Do I need to say anything more?
Great coffee shop
Love it!!! Every time I am in the neighborhood I make sure to stop by. Lovely spot, great coffee, great european pastries. It has become a Penticton Landmark.
Lovely little European style coffee shop/cafe in a beautiful tucked away location. Great selection of fresh baked goods. The carrot cake is delicious! Grab something to go and/or sit outside to enjoy the spectacular view.
This cafe is so cozy and nice. The owner is fantastic. Pastries are amazing- not too sweet. Love it!
Excellent coffee
Feels like youre actually in Prague for a sweet moment
their hot chocolate is something i look forward to every time i come here, baked goods are great as well <3 and really wonderful guy working there always so pleasant.
Try the cake
This is a cozy little coffee shop that serves the best home made baked goods! You gotta try it.
On the southern coast of the Okanagan lake, this small European-style café is an amazing place to start your day. They bake delicacies in house that go wonderfully with the coffee they serve.
Wonderful food and drinks. Excellent service.
Excellent
Small/quaint place, with limited yet delicious menu. Coffee and latte were mediocre,but acceptable. Location of this place is great, right off the beach. There is limited outside seating, and the 80s Italian pop music gives you a Euro feel
We stopped in Penticton at this cafe ...good home made old country food
A very cute and small cafe with simple yet delicious food served from it! The old lady was sweet and very kind too! I wish she has someone who can help her around the shop though.
Love the carrot cake. It has nuts, raisins n carrot in it. Not too sweet.
Location, friendly atmosphere and good food.
Lovely little cafe with a beautiful lakeside view. Sandwiches were incredible and the cheese in them was at a perfect melting point. The music selection was classy and the staff was very friendly.
Great coffee and food overlooking the water
The best kept secret in all of Penticton!! The Prague Cafe is a family run business where the owner takes care of the cafe most days with some help from his family every now and again. He is a very friendly humble man that makes DELICIOUS food and amazing coffee. Truly a gem in Penticton, could not recommend this place more. Enjoy sitting on the chair and tables across the road from the cafe as well, it has an amazing view of the Okanagan Lake.
Love this place for its authenticity and old world hospitality
Great food & drinks!!
Great place for a coffee and snack. Awesome seating on the lawn facing the lake and lots of room to socially distance.
Beautiful place to have breakfast on the beach, breakfast menu is always a great treat. Homemade treats is always a great pick. Highly recommended to visit.
Found this hidden gem last week in Penticton. It s customary to say Dobrý den as a greeting when you arrive and sample the typical Czech kolá and pastries! You will be greeted with a smile! It s a little bit of Europe in the Okanagan!
Geriatrics ward music was blasting and repulsive. Not much in the way of breakfast. Otherwise great location and nice looking coffee shop.
Owner is super nice. Food is good. Coffee is good. The wasps across the street are horrible
Great little spot. Great food and service.
The coffee is fairly weak. If you re looking for a great espresso or americano this is not your spot. Hopefully they change it up.
Love the friendly service and the amazing scenery
Morning coffee at the beach with good friend. The coffee was superb and my friend is the best!
Had the combo ... potato soup with deli turkey sandwich. Due to covid 19, no choice but to sit outside. Although it was a bit windy, the view of the lake was great and the food was good.
Great coffee
We ordered two breakfasts. But they are just bread and ham. Basically, no cooking, like I buy bread and ham separately from safeway. Maybe we ordered it wrong. But a bit disappointed.
Ideal spot for a bite to eat and a coffee while taking in the awesome views.
Great place. Right across the road from the lake. They have Muskoka chairs to sit in.They have several different foods and beverages. I think they are made in house? Just a good place to stop..and have a coffee.
Very friendly service and a taste of Czech foods in beautiful Penticton
It was tasty
Great tasting baking and peaceful by the lake
Great latte, yummy fruit pie, very friendly owner/staff and what a wonderful view! Feels so cozy and welcoming that we went there twice during our visit to Penticton.
After visiting I have to say that the 4.5 rating is misleading...the food was decent, but the decor is looking tired and the service seemed indifferent... Not a bad spot, just not a 4.5.
Love this place. Good strong coffee and generous portions of house made baked goods (the fruit cake is my favourite). The owner seems to live there, consistently offers friendly service, and always insists you have whipped cream on your cake. The best.
Great little cafe! Simple menu, amazing treats. Just like cafes you d find in Prague. The Chai Latte is one of the BEST that we have had and the regular coffee is good too. You re also aloud one refill for the coffee. Highly recommend for a quick, light breakfast!
Excellent European baked goods.
Wasp season Otherwise 5 stars
Quirky little cafe, great cakes and pastries
Delicious cake and very good coffee. Nice and very friendly owner!!
Great food. Great service.
Great strong Coffee for the first one of The Day! Owner very pleasent, tasty snacks!
Fantastic European style pastries and fantastic coffee. Friendly smile and relaxed atmosphere.
Small, intimate cafe. Freshly prepared food
Great coffee
Good but a bit pricey, location is excellent, staff is a little blasae.. No smiles
Cozy Cafe. Excellent food and the view is amazing. Great spot to stop and warm up when enjoying a winter walk along the beach. Be sure to try the fresh baked strudel!
