The Bench Market is a long-established South Okanagan food destination in Penticton combining a full-service eatery, espresso bar, and artisan grocery under one roof, built around a strong commitment to local sourcing — BC free-run eggs, ethically raised meats, and seasonal produce delivered directly from regional farms. It has been featured in the Vancouver Sun, Washington Post, Food Network, and numerous travel publications, and the Penticton Herald noted it had been 'brewing strong after 15 years.' Touring cyclists can dine in, grab takeaway, or stock up on house-made granolas, artisan goods, and take-and-bake Bench-made meals from the market shelves.
