What a find. Great selection, prices and service. Top notch ingredients, fabulous selection and combos. Highly recommended, 5+ Stars.

Great coffee but the service sucks. Been there a few times now and nothing has changed, so I'm done.

Wow! I love this place! Just had their amazing nachos with smoked gouda and Pico DE Gallo sauce, the picnic board with local cheeses and charcuterie. .. mmmmm and a wondertful Dageraad Blonde beer. read more

I went past Red Beard on the bus and decided to walk back to it later because it looked so interesting and I'm always on the hunt for the best cafe/restaurants. The staff was awesome and knowledgeable; They recommended the Vegendary sandwich, which was very delicious. I would have liked it if a side was included, especially for lunch, without having to pay extra as their prices are a bit high. Their cold brew was bold and dark but not bitter. Before I left I also got a bag of their coffee beans (which I've been enjoying every morning) and an exceptional house made bagel. If only I could buy a dozen of those! read more

Red Beard Cafe - Vegendary sandwich and cold brew - Cafes Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

See all

I did a quick search for the best espresso in Kamloops and this was one of the top four. However, it was the first of three I visited that day, and the coffee was clearly a cut above the other two. It was smooth without being watery, and the extraction was neither sour nor burnt. All in all a pleasant experience -- great tasting espresso, affordable, easy & free parking right on its lot, with friendly and prompt service. The other patrons were also friendly, and there was plenty of room, inside and out. The only knock is that it's a little rough in terms of cleanliness. No, it wasn't bad, not too untypical most coffeehouses in British Columbia, but an improvement in that department would have brought it 5 stars. I'd say the short trip across the river from right downtown is absolutely worth it. read more

Just received a nice note from them apologizing for the hours of business discrepancy. They have straightened out that problem and have put in a kitchen to make nice goodies. I hear they also are putting in beer taps etc. we will most certainly be visiting next trip to Kamloops!! read more

Hey Yelp! Red Beard doesn't show up on a search for coffee! Why not? Seriously the only place on the north shore to get a decent coffee.

very underrated cafe, might just be my favorite in kamloops. cool atmosphere, amazing coffee and food. great place to have wine and a cheese board with friends. read more

Awesome food! I loved the pulled pork sandwich they were fast and efficient and was worth every penny

Beer and coffee a unique mix for sure. Great selection of craft beers and a good location on the North Shore. Didn't stay for the picnic board but maybe next time read more

Everything is simple but crafted with attention to detail. Really liked the atmosphere and quality of food. I only had breakfast but want to have dinner here someday. read more

This was my first time coming here while living in Kamloops for the past 13 years! I tried their mocha in the 16oz size. Having tried pretty much every mocha in the book, this was easily one of the best. Perfect ratios with the perfect frothy texture. Topped off with the cutest foam art swan !! Will defs be dropping by again. read more

Loved this place!!! Great coffee, and modern atmosphere, good wireless. There was a bit of a lineup when I walked in, but thats always a good sign. The bespectacled man at the counter was friendly, and informed me they have almond milk!!! Nice patio, great place. Definitely coming back! read more

Great little cafe, gourmet food, and many coffee choices. One of my favorite places to refer visiting friends to.

Fantastic Beer menu. I love seeing new and interesting beers coming in weekly. Always on top of getting some interesting beer in. I would recommend it to the IPA nut or just someone new to the Micro beer scene. Food is okay but getting better. Great location in the summer. Getting thirsty just writing about it... read more

Fantastic gourmet menu, great craft beer selection, pleasant attentive staff all enjoyed in the dog friendly patio. A visit here while in Kamloops should not be missed. read more

Amazing!! The north shores hidden gem. If you want to go out for great homemade food this is the place. In love with the picnic board!!

So many good things to say, where to begin. The staff are beyond great. The menu is small but there is something for everyone; from game to vegetarian to classics like club sandwich and grilled cheese, elevated to a whole new level. Blueberry balsamic ketchup - what!?! And then there are the taps. Can't decide? Ask if they will pull 2 eight ounce glasses instead of 1 sixteen ounce. This spot is a DON'T MISS!!! read more

Great place for a awesome craft beer, very friendly staff !

Food was good, beer selection excellent. Saturday night was not super busy, but service was a bit inattentive. Dog friendly patio is a plus for us as new puppy owners, (but something to be aware of if you are not a dog fan). Food also not very "kid friendly". Overall a decent choice in the area, would go back again. read more

Red Beard seems to have really hit their stride, YAY! I hadn't been in for quite some time but when I stopped by yesterday it was really happening. Lots of interesting beers (and ciders) on tap. Nice additions to the menu - I had the Delhi Chaat and it was excellent. I see myself riding over the bridge more often in the near future. read more

I really want to love Red Beard, I really do. They try super hard. They have an outstanding selection of brews and ciders and I'm always happy with what is on tap. The food is a little pricey for what you get, and their plating could use some coaching. Their social media presence is weak, and when it is there, it is often fraught with errors and a lack of a professional touch. I'm going to keep coming here, because I love this style of cafe, and want to see places like this thrive in Kamloops. But I want to see them step up their game a bit more. I know they can do better. read more

Kamloops' only coffee shop that turns into a bar. They also have great sandwhiches and delicious beer choices.

This is a great restaurant. The menu is creatively and thoughtfully put together. We had the chicken club and pork chutney flatbread. The chicken club is probably as close to a standard as they have and deservedly so. A delicious combination of soft tasty roll, chicken, bacon, chipotle mayo and cheddar cheese. The flatbread was a great combination of savory and sweet. Add to this a very good variety of beers on tap and it's hard to beat. The prices are reasonable too. read more

Really love the atmosphere here and their menu is amazing! Love that they often take risks with their menu. Offers a lovely patio on which you can enjoy a great selection of craft beers! read more

Coffee roasted on site, scaa quality, similar to madcap, counter culture, etc. Very good cafe menu, beer selection, cider selection. Equally good at coffee as they are at being a gastro pub, similar to down house in Houston, but with houndstooth (atx) or once over (atx) quality coffee. read more

Had the breakfast sandwich today. Very greasy and salty. Coffee was mediocre. Just ordered a dark roast, maybe their specialty coffees are better. Won't make a special trip back there. read more

By far they have the best craft beer selection in kamloops. The service is always solid. The food is great and interesting.

I went there the other day while on holiday in Kamloops. It was seriously the worst place I've ever gone too. The coffee was seriously bad, the sandwiches tasted like what comes out of my mouth when I'm about to puke. The staff was so rude. read more

This cafe is one of the best in Kamloops. They have the best coffee, by far, and I highly recommend trying their mochas. The food is also great, and the craft beer they have on tap is sensational. All in all just a unique place with a great atmosphere-- just too bad it's located on tranquille. (Kind of a sketchy area) read more

I love the atmosphere, location and especially the lovely staff at RedBeard. I hope and am sure it will continue to thrive. The only reason I am posting a rather poor rating is because every time I come in to eat, the food is almost delicious, but seems to be overly-fatty and often feels as though it just misses the mark of the superior quality high-level cafe food I know they are aiming for. The food is nicely flavored as it is, so the extra oils/fats are truly unnecessary and only serve to detract. Also some of the pairings of the mains with their sides just miss the mark as well, often feeling redundant (ex: heavy with heavy). I had the mushroom stew today, it could have been amazing had it not been so rich and the pairing with yam-chips was odd (and I don't mean in a 'surprisingly good way'). I hope the good people of RedBeard see this and can use my review and criticism to help them achieve the quality that I know they can. It is a tad pricy as well, but that's okay because I come only once in a while as a treat. read more
