Crisp cold weather, twinkling lights, and festive spirit are all here in Kamloops, so that must mean the holidays are coming. Cozy up in a local cafe and sip on a seasonal coffee; from holiday-inspired items to wintry favourites that have a little extra spice to warm you up on a chilly day.
Caffe Motivo
Located in the heart of downtown, the bright and airy Caffe Motivo brings a European flavour to Kamloops with baked goods and sandwiches to fill you up. Leave room for a seasonal Eggnog Latte or Peppermint Mocha for a festive start to your day (or afternoon).
Red Beard Cafe
Head to the North Shore of Kamloops for a visit to the funky Red Beard Cafe, where you’ll find inventive festive beverages that are guaranteed to warm you up. Add some kick to your coffee with a Fireball Mocha or Espresso Vodka Vanilla Chai for a spicy start to the season.
Reservoir Coffee
Warm-up in this cool cafe near Thompson Rivers University, where you’ll find handmade tables and funky light fixtures. Choose from a seasonal flavoured latte featuring cinnamon, peppermint, gingerbread, or chocolate mint, or try one of the Eggnog Lattes, Eggnog Chai Tea Lattes, Peppermint Mochas, and Candy Cane White Hot Chocolates.
Amplified Cafe
Borrow a book from the Kamloops library (next door) and cozy up with locally sourced seasonal drinks. Amplified Cafe serves up Eggnog Lattes that use special eggnog from local dairy producer Blackwell Dairy. You’ll also find complex holiday drinks such as the Candy Cane Mocha, which combines chocolate, peppermint, and single-origin espresso with steamed milk, to create a festive flavour.
5Bean Brewbar & Cafe
Home to two locations, Columbia Place Shopping Centre and Tranquille Road, 5Bean Brewbar & Cafe is the perfect place to refuel in between shopping for the holidays. Enjoy a well-deserved sit-down and sip on a warming Eggnog Latte or Peppermint Mocha to get back in the festive spirit.
