Reviews of The Bellevue Cafe (Coffee Shop)

Marcus Barton

Avocado toast with nitro coffee. FAST and friendly service! Servers seemed to tag-team with each other, covering other's tables to ensure customers were well-taken care of. Bravo.

Trist N Oquist (Arkyn)

Absolutely delicious burger

We lost our time trying to going to the different caffe shops yesterday in Penticton. I used to get a small americano at Starbucks so I asked for the same at The Bellevue Cafe. It was horrible. Not a strong cafe.

Certain menu are items are a hit or miss. The ham and Swiss panini was great though. It's a good vibe, in a good area with okay customer care.

This place has great potential. Great decor, easy access location. The scones are delicous. The rest of the breakfast menu, appears to be all prepackaged and ask for a fried egg or poached egg...its a flat no. The eggs are manufactured and not fresh eggs. Our kids ordered wraps, and I am sorry to say that Tim hortons has better tasting wraps. The kids didnt even finish half of their wraps, that says a lot. Normally I dont leave negative reviews, however the feeling from the people working the counter was more of don't ask us questions about the menu ... the menu is all we have, and don't bother asking. As a business owner myself I would have anticipated a more " how can we help you..." approach, especially in this time of covid and every small business needing its support to earn money. Again, lots of potential. Sadly, we will not be back, there are other places to go and enjoy breakfast. Less than great food combined with a less than engaging or happy front end team...I hope they will take the last 2 reviews to heart and look at how they do better. ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP IN REPLY TO THE BUSINESS'S FEEDBACK: I will adjust my comments on the prepackaged: while the wrap it self was not prepackaged, the eggs are not fresh and are pre manufactured. There is or was no flavour. For myself I ordered what was to have been a mexican egg style breakfast... overload of cheese and lots of beans do not make a breakfast mexican. I wish I would have taken a picture to show our kids and our meals. Our kids love good tasting food, as do we. When our two sons mentioned the taste and asked if we could eat elsewhere I tried the wrap...I agreed and they both had less than 2 bites. We are all in a time of covid, the excuse is getting boring...we found another breakfast place up the "bench", they knocked the customer service, and over all food experience to the moon. The owners were even coming around asking everyone how the food was, we asked for 2 extra eggs, it was a quick yes! You have a good location and decor, my recommendations are still...work on your customer service, and overall food quality. And please stop using covid as an excuse...other businesses are doing great, you can too if you stop being defensive and look at elevating your own business.

I was disappointed in the 'huevos rancheros', pictured here. I appreciate that "other people really enjoy it" as the server behind the counter reminded me as she was giving me a refund, but this isnt 'huevos rancheros'. You baked eggs into cheese, canned corn and beans, decided to remove the breakfast potatoes from the menu... and gave us Nesquik instead of actual chocolate milk. You used to be great, Belleview. Whats with doing the bare minimum all of a sudden?

(Translated) Worst restaurant I've been to brunch! The prices are very expensive for the food, their cappucinno is made with filter coffee, the quesadillas are made of a pita with a piece of chicken. Honestly I do not recommend the place (Original) Pire restaurant que j'ai ete pour bruncher ! Les prix sont très cher pour la nourriture, leur cappucinno est fait avec du cafe filtre, les quesadillas sont fait d'un pita avec un morceau de poulet. Honnêtement je déconseille l'endroit

Cindy Van Arnam

Gorgeous place, but when one orders a chicken quesadilla you'd expect some veggies. Nope, just chicken and cheese melted between 2 tortillas... Could have been better

Blair Hofer

Avocado toast and egg was yummy but the coffee wasn’t great, service was friendly 3.5 stars if it was an option. Not a must do but it will do just fine

Ron Markewich

Enjoyed lunch, interesting tuna sandwich, reasonable prices

Sandra Krauer

Very good food and coffee. Love the coziness of the Belleview!

Lawrence Carter

Great breakfast

Theresa Fenkhuber

Good food. Service was quick. Cute little café.

Lisa O

I went there for the second time today and wow my opinion of them has changed. I gave 3 stars because the BLT sandwich with pesto was great. The fries are as expected and the coffee is good for people who actually like coffee. What blew my mind is this: I got a side of their curry cauliflower soup with chickpeas which, as a curry lover, I was prepared to love. What I got just fell short. It was bland but had the potential to be decent - it was just missing something. Being myself, I voiced my disappointment to the first server who was actually understanding about it. The second server, who initially was quite pleasant and was as such the first time I visited also, did a complete 180 and was short with me. She snatched the bill off the table and took it back to removed the soup from my bill. She other server looked uncomfortable at this point and I felt bad for her. The angry server came back with the bill and the pos machine, dropped them on the table and walked off as I was trying to speak to her. I paid my bill and left without speaking to another person who worked there. I read the reviews and didnt really see what the issue was until this. I will never go back based on that experience.

Mike Li

The price is a bit higher than other cafe.

Faisal Nahri

Their breakfast wrap #3 was absolutely amazing. Coffee was great too. Would love to go back to Bellevue Cafe!

Alecs G

Attentive service, great avocado toast and lattes.

Len Thibeault

Good food and accommodating staff.

Michael Schoberth

Perfect tasty breakfast, in a big variety, very much satisfying! In terms of having a deliciously and entertaining breakfast in an nice environment, the Bellevue Cafe is the winner of our heart, it is better than Elite Restaurant and the others on Main Street...

yvette y tang

Good coffeee!

Trevor Smith

Nice to sit out front on patio to watch farmers market on Saturdays. Food was just average though.

Great food and service!

Lauren

Great coffee and cookies. Good prices.

Janice

Good food, good service, what more do you want?

Orianna Lacey

I’m a very simple breakfast eater and so I typically just order hashbrowns and eggs. My lover ordered hashbrowns and eggs and bacon and sausage and I just had to steal some bacon and sausage because it was so so good! Their hashbrowns are homemade and absolutely phenomenal - cooked to perfection!

Sylvia Bourassa

We had our anniversary breakfast at The Bellevue Cafe and we pleasantly surprised!!! The atmosphere was funky, the service good, and the food was delicious!!! Cool find in Penticton!!!

Alex Tecter

Delicious drinks ????????

Tina Brisson

The food was great and so was the service!

Frank

Food and service was great!

rick larsen

Great food good people

Ben Phillips

Great little spot on main Street for a good breaky. Breakfast Burrito is awesome.

Colin Lacoursiere

Excellent food, great atmosphere. A little slow with the service but the friendliness of our waitress made up for that.

Robert Van Alphen

Good food for a good price

Blake Wagner

Great place to have coffee with friends. They grind their own for freshness. Good baking treats as well. Prices are reasonable. Outside seating is available...air conditioned on the inside. Healthy food for those who eat plant based...though limited choices.

Khalil Awad

Amazing

Cynthia Jaytan

Good ambiance, great brunch and coffee bar, reasonable prices, very friendly staff. Good for a quiet get together for 2 or for groups

Catherine Mellon

If there was a 2.5 I'd have used that. Totally odd experience. Basically didn't have a server. Had to grab a random server to get our drinks delivered before we finished our meal. Never got checked on so ate off of napkins instead of the side plates we would have liked. Could have used a few other things too but there was no one to ask. Food was just ok so pretty tough to justify what we paid.

MrCdnBeef

This place used to be great for breakfast. Now the menu is limited to "wraps". They may as well serve pop-tarts as a side. The staff is bitter and obviously have no desire to be there.

Hannah S

Meh- bland food but reasonably priced, I guess

Benjamin Aguilar

Food was good, coffee was decent.

Angela Fish

Breakfast was delicious. AVACADO toast and Egss Bennie. Great food and great service. Thank you

Nick Lewin

Went here for breakfast and enjoyed a delicious breakfast burrito. Partner had a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. She said it was also very good. Atmosphere was very nice and service was prompt. Definitely a place to try in Penticton.

Stephanie Sissons

Excellent Food

Russyl Workman

The chicken quesadillas are amazing! Be sure to get them!!!

Karen Hanley

I am on a low carb diet so asked for no potatoes and no bread with the omelette.the waitress said would I like, some veggy salsa instead so I said yes. I was charged extra$2 for the veggies so breakfast was$18.95. I asked why I was charged extra when I didn't have the potatoes and bread. And I wasn't tulle of the extra cost. Was told after the breakfast there was no substitutions. Terrible. Wasn't worth the money

Jen C

Our order didn't get out in to the kitchen. Left without eating. Disappointing.

Tyler Thompson

Cozy friendly atmosphere with fast service and excellent food! We will definitely be back for more.

Patrick O'Neill

Nice looking place. Staff was very friendly. The brie omlete was pretty terrible though. Like... really bad. Store bought spiced bread and awful potatoes. I really wanted to like his place but I just couldn't.

Sean

Great little local cafe

Shirley Buchanan

Great soup! Intimate place. Really enjoyed it.

Jennifer Orellana

I had breakfast here during my visit to Penticton. Really good and fresh food. Service is fantastic!

ELENA S

Went for breakfast.food is super tasty and yum fries are the best. Service is good! Best capuchino(proper size). Will definitely come back!

David Evans

Great breakfast and wonderful staff.

Gerry Pearson

Best breakfast and coffee in town

Meredith Schuurman

This place has so much more potential! Great venue and location but very much lacking in accommodating food preferences/dietary requirements. I was floored to learn I couldn’t add eggs to vegetarian menu items, even when I emphasized I would pay extra. And when I ordered an egg menu item, I couldn’t add a veggie side (like a side salad). Pretty disappointing.

Joel Bergen

Great little diner style restaurant.

Urjita V (UV)

Their BEAT sandwich is delicious and their Spicy sausage burrito is something to try if you like a kick to your palette

Kian Kashani

Funky decor, great coffee shop, and nice breakfast. Get the spicy sausage grilled wrap ????

Eliot Williams

Menu is great and food is of high quality. Staff is friendly but it was very busy on a Saturday morning, things were forgotten. Drinks were missed and had to be asked for again as were condiments. Also had to go inside and ask for bill after a long wait. Good restaurant but clearly understaffed for the busy times.

Roger Stringer

Vanilla cream nitro coffee, need I say more?

Terence Fuzz

Burger was good. Fish was over done. Twice. Nice place and friendly staff.

Sue Hackett

Food and service were excellent. I would recommend a visit.

Kent

Great place to grab lunch and have a discussion with a friend indoors or out!

Kitiarian

Service, and coffee are meh. Food is alright, nothing special. Photos are pretty though they have a bit of a gallery

Mike Gamble

Petty chaotic place for brunch

Robert Cole

We've been to many cafes in Vancouver, but nothing quaint like the Bellevue. The coffee by Cherry Hill was the best coffee we've had in a long time. We ordered the Province omelette and the Chicken Hash. Both dishes were flavorful and plenty. Our server was attentive and never let our coffee run dry. We arrived early at door open at 8am, and the amount of people coming in and out on a Monday morning was astonishing. If you were like us visiting out of the area, make this one of your stops. Ignore the first two reviews like we did. Glad we came! ????

Colin Parker

It has a limited menu but the food was good.

Rayne Otis

Nothing too special, some menu items are quite barebones as far as creativity...

Sally Petrunia

Good food..great service!

joanne owens

Food ok. Personality not so much.

Heidi Roche

No salad. Paid$13 for a burger with fries I can't eat and soup I can't stand Why no salad.

Rambulance

Absolutely terrible people. It's no wonder they never take down their now hiring sign.

Karli Mulligan (pitchoun)

Used to go here every day when I was a kid

kansis kraut

Food is fine and the servers are friendly, but the owner/manager so palpably loathes customers that it stains the experience. Unless of course you like that kind of thing. I objectively confirmed they have pickles. My baby will suck a pickle which lets me enjoy a meal in peace. I asked the server for a pickle. She said her manager disallows it. I asked her manager, the owner, Toni, if I could buy a pickle. Before I finished my sentence, and without so much as simple eye contact, she stated they do not have pickles. But the thing is, they do. This was a contemptuous lie. And don't bother asking to buy a side of toast.

Lynda Rousseau

Delicious breakfasts with outstanding breakfast potatoes. If you order the breakfast burrito you’d better be hungry!

Mariana Araujo

Sadly, it was a bit disappointing. We got the eggs, cheese and bacon wrap and the avocado toast. We asked the cashier to add a poached egg to the avocado toast and she told us they only had hard boiled eggs. We thought it was odd, but got it anyway. The egg was rubbery and looked so industrialized. Also, the cashier was a bit rude and had a “I’m so done” look in her face. The place itself looks so nice and trendy. I agree with some of the reviews and I believe this place has so much potential. I understand they had to go through changes due to COVID-19, but how hard is it to cook fresh eggs?

Sue Barclay

Good quick lunch and reasonable prices

ariel hill

The WORST 'smashed avocado on toast'. The menu read something completely different than I was given and it was pretty awful. They served me pre-made guacamole from a bag (most likely ordered from a large food supplier) on my toast, not the classic fresh avocado that is normally just smashed with a fork and then they topped it with root veg for my 'salsa fresca'. The worst part is, after expressing my concern we were still charged full price for it. My friend's heuvos was also pretty mediocre. If you go for breakfast maybe just stick to eggs and toast, the rest of the choice may need some work. The only reason this gets two stars instead of one is because I have to give the servers some credit for their hard work, it was busy and service was still pretty quick. The art work is nice, maybe just stop in for that ?

Sandi Adam

My sister and I had lunch at the Cafe today, Nov 9, 2019. The meal was delicious, the service we received was efficient, but the employee was not friendly at all. Not once did she smile. We had to ask someone else to bring our bill. Our own waitress did not return to us to take our money. As we left we notice her standing behind the till. Other staff were friendly and looked happy, but our waitress was not. Maybe she was having a tough day or something going on in her life, but she should not bring it to work with her. Just a gentle reminder to give the customers a smile. A smile goes a long way.

Sarah Hoffman

Atmosphere-amazing Service-awesome Portion size-large Quality of food-fanatastic Flavour-even better Price-reasonable Kids menu as well Lost a point for not refilling coffee, no tartar sauce for fish and don’t have fruit salad in the winter Overall new favourite place to eat.

Mike Neugebauer

2nd day for breakfast, Awesome!

Justin Swinamer

Awesome breakfast or lunch cafe. Delicious food and a nice vibe

Rob Nickel

Delicious breakfast friendly staff.

Ally

I enjoy the food and the staff usually but had a bad experience today. Pretty sure the owner thought we weren't going to pay. We were told how to pay before ordering AND brought our bill while we were still eating. Didn't see anyone else receive this treatment. Very rude.

GWoo

Good place to enjoy a coffee and watch the street scene in Penticton.

Lori Keith

Great breakfast choices

Cassandra R. (CR)

Great Service and amazing food. Would highly recommend for sure

Rebekah Fisher

It looks nice and the vibe is comfortable. I had the Tomato and Pesto Mayo Breakfast Wrap. I don't think it had very much pesto and was quite bland. My husband said his Benny was good.

indy teja

Good food and great service.....

Darren Woods

Geat food at a great price. Waitress was great.

Dan Walton

I wanted a place with great hashbrowns and I found them here. Servers are pretty (not that anybody reading would be shallow) and they hustle. All be bock

KAP Contractors

Great food, great staff. Very clean and welcoming. Great little spot for lunch left well fed

Glenn Granger

Excellent quality food friendly staff

Nicholas D'Amico

Just another place that serves sandwiches. So sick of bread. Everywhere is just bread bread bread bread BREAD.

Lukas GYR

(Translated) Good and kind (Original) Gut und freundlich

Loni Bryant

The service was good and fast. The ambiance of the patio was pleasant. The coffee was good but breakfast was a little lacking both in flavour and portion size. Still one of the best options for breakfast in town. Will be returning.

Sabrina Diamonds

Love this place -Sabrina

Lisa Thornton

Amazing food, great prices, friendly staff and the coffee is so good!

Bryson Parr

Doesn't even deserve a star, witnessing the boss of this restaurant bully and make her employees feel like nothing makes me want to never come here again. Nobody working for someone and putting full effort and being told different, blaming employees for losing costumers when she's caused the scene putting employees down in front of others is sickening. Hope the lady who owns this loses her employees and business. Because I'm standing up for what's right. Hope you enjoy this comment and hopefully people will stand up for this.

Blair S

Good breakfast. My partner had bacon, eggs and toast, while I had an egg white scramble. Both were good

Lawrence -Bev Stoochnoff

This is a nice quiet place for a coffee.

William E.Johnston

Great people, dog friendly super service..... Oh ya the food is awesome and well priced. Bravo and well done.

Peter N

The food is decent, but the service is terrible. Why am I tipping you for you to tell me to get my own drink from the counter. Wish I never tipped. The salad had no dressing.

GoproZullan

Breakfast review* the weekend benny's are ok. The week breakfast menu doesent offer much choice and the things that are offered felt strange to me. It wasent bad, but presentation was not very good and the taste was far from spectaculous. I dont know, i just feel like plates should be rework and more classics should be offered.

Derek Graham

Fun spot good coffee

Clare Guse

Ordered the Huevos rancheros...it was absolutely disgusting and was like a soup served in a dish with a flour tortilla on the side. Told staff my meal was terrible and it still showed up on my bill. ???? would give it no stars but I guess I have to give it one to give a review. Day before I had french toast and it was delicious so very dissatisfied to come back and get this meal.

Lynda Hooker

It was great. Food delicious. Staff friendly

Cecil Ramirez

Nice place great service good food

Ryin Whynot

Breakfast is a win!

Steve Ash

Cosy place for breakfast

Matt Burns

Beautiful restaurant, pity the food and service don’t match. Food, coffee and smoothie were all sub-par, more cafeteria like than a cafe. With such lovely decor and a top notch location, the place has oodles of potential. Honestly very disappointing

Julie Gaal

Owner is not particularly friendly ...However love her employees. Very friendly

roy funk

Like my sunflower and service was courteous

Sam Mooney

The scramblette was very tasty. Fast, friendly service and everyone was kind to the energetic toddler in our party.

Lucy Andrews Koropchuk

Nice breakfast. Pleasant waitress. Pity so quiet!

Stuart Henderson

Anne Benn

Very reasonable $$. Tasty lunch. My teen's choice. Quick service.

Andy C

Really nice service and good breakfast. Overall a great restaurant.

Tyra Middleton

Wish there was more options for Vegans... But they do have milk alternatives so we were able to get a smoothie, oatmeal and a coffee. Very friendly service and delicious food. Definitely going back.

R. T.

Went for breakfast on a Farmer's Market Day with 4 persons where we sat on the outside patio. We all ordered one of their breakfast specials which tasted great including their homemade hashbrowns. Carol was our waitress who offered efficient service and had a great sense of humour. BTW, they never take down their hiring sign because it's difficult to find dedicated servers like Carol. Definitely recommend this place for good food and service!

N

Great looking restaurant; disappointing breakfast menu! Mostly wraps that are pre-made. Can’t add eggs, bacon or toast sides because it’s all pre-made. Very limited. Unfortunately they forgot to turn their espresso machine on. Half an hour wait to get a coffee. We easily found better options in town that are more organized.

Ross Axworthy

Very good location for a casual meal. The baked goods are outstanding. Friendly and attentive staff

Shea-Lynn Barclay

Went here for a takeout breakfest, and they make a GREAT breakfest burrito.

Leon Bulmer

Excellent Mexican breakfast

Austin M

Great place to sit outside and have a meal. Primetime location downtown Penticton and beautiful patio. The coffee is very good and the servers are very nice. It was super busy so a bit slow but that's par for the course. Food was very good as well. During the market Saturday it will be packed so maybe tough to get a spot outside on the patio. Will be back again!

Connor Rowe

Extremely poor customer service. Was treated poorly by a witch of a lady with longer gray hair, and witnessed acts of profiling, sexism, and just plain disrespect toward a potential employee. Me, nor anyone I befriend, will ever stop at this poor excuse for a café ever again. The art was pretty cool though, props to the artists.

Mary Elliott

i worked there for one day. the owner is self serving and speaks to her staff in a very degrading way in front of customers. she should not be in the service industry.

Catherine Carlson

Walked in there this morning and was pleasantly welcomed by the waitress. The cafe is cozy with character and the staff were very friendly.. the coffee was great and the food was even better.. overall a must visit when in Penticton

Kalysha Wilson

I food was great and the staff wasn't bad either

Natalie Bader

Yummy food and coffee, friendly and efficient service.

Okanagan Recruiting

Great breakfast and incredible bakery items. I always stop in when travelling thru Penticton. Staff always professional and enthusiastic.

Ryan Taylor

Apperantly breakfast ends at noon, doesnt say that on their website that i can see. Should be posted.

Conrad Reichel

Great cappuccino thank you

Kris Carriere

Relaxed cafe, delicious sandwiches and burgers, friendly and welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend

Emelia Perry

HORRIBLE service!!! I just walked in and asked if they could clean a table outside for us and two of the servers looked at me in disgust because they felt "overwhelmed" I said nevermind and walked out. I will NOT return. This is not the first time having horrible service at this establishment.

Not the best Eggs Benedict, but cinnamon bread French toast and waffles were good. All day breakfast.

Yvette Rasmussen

Well so far 35 minutes finally got coffee after asking three, yes three times. Never did get menus had to scrounge from another table and ask to please place our order. No cream with coffee, tables arriving later got food now 59?minutes in and wondering if food order has even been placed. Second try, really wanted these guys on the website but may have to have food packed to go. Sorry guys, no matter how good the food may be bad experience. Oh - food just dropped. Looks ok.
