I visited Barrique & Java multiple times. The best thing I tasted here was their Whipped Feta ($12)…read moreand Pink Fiesta ($19). The feta dish is local BC whipped feta with harissa honey and crostinis, it was delicious and made with good quality ingredients. The Pink Fiesta is a featured cocktail made with Empress Rose Gin, Basil, Strawberry Syrup and Lime Juice. I want to point out that our service was quite slow, I'm not sure the root cause but service is definitely lacking. The rest of the food and drinks were had were mediocre and way overpriced. We shared a Charcuterie Board ($32) and felt personally victimized by the Greek Yogurt Pretzels ($9.50 and not shown below). You could get both at Superstore for half the price and it would taste the same. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of merlot, so I wasn't completely in love with my Berry Bliss Sangria ($19). But, my Golden Italian Panini ($18) was decent... however extremely over priced.

There are not many vegetarian options but one can get by with a pasta. They have a good wine selection and some very good wines from a related small production wine maker. The space has a main dining room and a bar. On both occasions we were seated in the bar which I found a bit strange. The lighting is rather on the dark side but not extreme. Everyone was happy with the food.

Great service too and their prices are very reasonable compared to what we have at home for this quality of food. Looking forward to my next trip to the Okanagan!

Thankfully the amazing mango chutney saved the dish with such a powerful tastebud explosion! Our server was very sweet and attentive.

Reading the other reviews, I see I'm not alone in stopping here en route to Penticton (it's a good mid-point for a break). There's a small parking strip on the side of the building. I love supporting smaller shops and cafes, and this particular one is indigenous-owned so it seems extra special! Love the motto, too: "Don't panic..We have bannock!". Cute! The cafe is small but clean, with Indigenous artwork on the walls. Of course we ordered bannock! I ordered a maple one, and my kid ordered a berry one (might've been the Saskatoon berry, I forget). I'll be honest, they were absolutely delicious, and fresh, and fluffy and sweet and glazed, but mine absolutely did NOT have much of a maple taste - like, AT ALL. It was like the glaze on a Krispy Kreme glazed donut. Delicious, yes, and sugary, but not maple-y. My kid's berry one was very subtle in its berry flavor. Again, excellent, but not knock-out berry-y. To me, these treats were similar to donuts without the holes. More like fluffy fritters. Delicious, but not as unique as I thought they'd be. As for the coffees....my maple latte, again, sadly, did not taste at ALL maple-y. But it was an excellent coffee: very smooth and flavorful. You could tell the beans were excellent. There just was no maple taste. But my kid had a berry latte (again, I forget what kind), but this drink was EXCELLENT and it totally DID have a distinct berry flavor to it, and it was wonderful! (We both tried both bannocks and both lattes, and we both agreed on this review). We didn't try the sandwiches but they looked quite good. They also had some cute Kekuli Cafe merch for sale.
