This place has home cooked food and many vegan, GF or allergy friendly options. It has a cool vibe to it, with local art on the walls (that is for sale). It can get busy at lunch, so arrive early. I don't think it's open for supper just FYI!

Everything Else
Schubert Drive has a paved walking trail that goes from just below our house on the water, all the way to the Overlander bridge to downtown. I often go for runs from our home to downtown (6.5kms each way) as it is a flat, beautiful path along the river!

Arts & Culture
The Kamloops Art Gallery has an amazing gift shop with items from a lot of local artists. It is also one of my go-to places to find gifts. Their stuff is very unique and you can find something in any budget. The Art Gallery itself is also a cool activity to do, and as it's attached to the library, it is also great for families!
