Kootenay Coffee Works is located out of town, a couple doors down from Mercatos Pizzeria on Arrow Road. Yesterday was the first time I have been inside Kootenay Coffee for lunch, and I was very impressed.  On their website it says that they won a People's Choice award in 2016, so it is about time I visit there.  I had a hot chocolate and a delicious breakfast bagel.  My friend and I found it was a small and very cozy place to have lunch. I could walk around inside with my cane easily. The staff were cheerful, pleasant and offered great customer service. If you are new to the valley, or, if you are like me, and have lived here forever, and just have never checked out Kootnay Coffee Works, stop by and have a treat. You never know. It just might be your new favourite snack stop.
