The Grand Union Cafe
Hedley, British Columbia
What started as a dream of Terry and Valerie Leonard of creating a space like a “big hug” has become a much sought out, beautifully rustic cafe and art gallery built on a historic corner that was once at the heart of the Okanagan Gold Rush.
A delightful mix of history, warm hospitality, good coffee and food against the backdrop of spectacular nature, this family-run roadside attraction also features eclectic local art and curiosities around every nook and cranny. Rooms for rent on the property mean you can explore this charming small town to your heart’s content.
