Vertical Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality

Vertical Café is always a fantastic place to visit! We’ve been coming to Sun Peaks for five years now, spending up to a month/winter up on the hill. We never miss the opportunity to get the best coffee in town (Cherry Hill from Kelowna), awesome options for breakfast for the entire family (veggie lovers or not😊) or the heartiest soup for lunch. The place is cozy inside, but you’ll enjoy it also by staying outside, at one of the colourful tables, sheltered from snow and under a patio heater. The shop decoration is always joyful and welcoming, creating good energy. The music is a bonus, I always start dancing in my ski boots while waiting for a coffee! Rob & Tania, the owners of the place, and their crew are such friendly people, so the vibe is great. Last but not least, in case you celebrate a birthday in Sun Peaks, take a chance and ask them to help you with a fantastic cinnamon buns birthday cake! It’s not officially on the menu, but my daughter was lucky enough to get one for her 7th birthday that we spent on the slopes. It was one of the most memorable birthday cakes of the past years, and we...

We came to Sun Peaks this May to find that our tour guide sent us to a place where hardly any recreational activities were possible because it was Shoulder Season. We were very disappointed and wanted to leave early. To discuss our situation we sat down at the Vertical Café and were asked by the extremely friendly staff where we were coming from and what we were going to do. We told them about our disappointment on the spot, whereupon Rob, the owner of the café, opened up a whole range of possibilities for us as to what else we could do in the surrounding area. The friendliness, courtesy and warmth of the entire team also made a lasting impression on us and is one of our fondest memories of our vacation in Canada.

Of course, I can't forget the food. We went to the Vertical Café every morning and enjoyed our breakfast and the delicious coffee there. I can especially recommend the bagels!

Thanks again to the whole team, you are...

Tucked away in the heart of Sun Peaks, this café is everything you dream of after a morning on the slopes. The moment you walk in, you're wrapped in the kind of cozy, mountain-town charm that instantly makes you feel at home.

The coffee? Easily some of the best I’ve had—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. Their breakfast sandwiches are next-level too: hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you need to fuel up for a day.

But what really sets this place apart is the owner’s hospitality. Not only did he remember my name after just one visit, but he actually called me by name as I was leaving and said have a great day! It’s a small thing, but it made the whole experience feel personal and genuinely welcoming.

This place isn’t just a café—it’s a warm hug in the middle of the mountains....
