Gross
July 22, 2014
As a traveler passing through I figured I'd give the spot a try . .. it's seemed to be a cool funky, laid back kinda place but its more disgusting, dirty & gross.
The coffee was good, it was counter service only and I'd already left a tip. The server, counter person. . .didn't even bother to bring the plate...

WARNING: Fibonacci worst coffee shop in Penticton
April 07, 2014The female owner is EXTREMELY rude to patrons, which is why the place is always deserted. The place is also very dirty. Expect to be insulted and demeaned at this coffee shop. My girlfriend and I were the only people in the restaurant, enjoying a coffee, when the owner confronted us with rude and offensive language because we brought a... more

Go somewhere else
March 12, 2014There is a few coffee shop on Main St. ...I don't support Starbuck...and across the street is Fibonacci...well just walk a few blocks up to Belleview or St-Germain....they have better service, and it's wayyyyy much cleaner.

Gone down hill
June 30, 2013This used to be a great place but it is not the same anymore. It feels a little awkward to be in there.

Good Coffee
February 13, 2013The coffee is good. The food is OK, but the service is usually pretty indifferent and slow. The beer on tap is nice, especially for the open mic nights. It's never my first choice to go, it's too grungy.

Excellent
February 04, 2013This place has always been a favorite of mine. Nonetheless that does not leave me with a biased opinion, I have had the beef do air every time since I first went and it has always been delicious as the first time. The beef is cooked to perfection and the pasta salad is made exquisitely. If you come to Penticton... more

One of the best lamb donairs
January 27, 2013Well the website gives you quite a different impression than the actual place. That's all right, if only a sort of surprise. The reviews for the place was mixed here on tripadvisor so I was cautious. But everything turned out to be better than expected food wise. Didn't know what to expect, happy with the choices made. It is dimly... more

Can't they make sure there coffee is hotter
October 01, 2012I like their lamb gyros and the wicked chicken thai soup. They apparently roast their own coffee....but everytime I've been there it's always been lukewarm. It's a young person's 'hangout'....which I sort of like (even though I'm not all that young myself). You hear lots of interesting conversations, though. And they have regular open stages and karaoke's.

Eclectic
August 24, 2012
We happened upon this cafe on what could be one of the busiest Saturdays of the year, the day before Penticton Ironman.
Outside seating area was bustling and inviting, indoors was a bit dimly lit compared to outdoors. Seating areas have a variety of configurations and furniture so something for everyone.
The menu offers smoothies, paninis, wraps, sandwiches and many...

Great atmosphere - inexpensive
August 10, 2012This is a funky cafe with outstanding coffe and a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff are a bit off-beat but that adds to the charm. The patio out front is an excellent place to watch the world go by as you enjoy your morning coffee. I'm gluten free and they accommodated me with a gluten-free crepe wrapped around scrambled eggs... more

Not a good choice
August 05, 2012
Unfriendly and slow service.
I took a breakfast crepe and it wasn't good at all.
Expensive for the quality of the food they try to sell you...
Just try a other place.

Yuck
July 27, 2012Firstly, the service was spotty, with staff who were not particularly friendly or pleasant. Even worse, the coffee cups had brown grime on the inside, which indicated that they may not have been properly washed - ugh! The food itself was quite basic.

Has it all
May 03, 2012I have been to Fibonacci's for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and have never been disappointed! Their Donairs are excellent,and the pasta salad is addictive! When you walk in the door, the beautiful aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans get you salivating. I would say they have the best espresso in town. If you're into teas they have a wonderful assortment... more

OK meeting place
March 19, 2012I think this place has a great idea but they are missing the mark. They need more efficient servers. Ive waited up to a half hour for a cappuccino and a sandwich.

Not in the mood for harassment
February 07, 2012Although the food is good, it seems to take an incredibly long time to receive your food. Not only that, the owner is absolutely the most unprofessional man ever. I have heard from other women as well that he has made uncalled for comments. He is rude and sexist. I would only go in with my boyfriend for a while... more

Actively Entertaining
February 02, 2012Though the owner may come across as "in your face" and "lawless" when it comes to a pretty face, fibonaccis has very much taken an active part in increasing and promoting social interactions for the locals, and has become an active part of the community, a local meeting place of sorts. The food is still the same, a little lackluster... more

Depends who you are
December 16, 2011I have only been at night. The crowd is very young (17-20) seems to be the typical age. They serve booze and allow under age kids in there till 10 or 11??? then it gets rather dead when they leave and you realize you probably shouldn't have been hitting on those girls... but they had some decent beers and didn't... more

Best Place For Coffee, Food and Atmosphere
November 15, 2011I was in Penticton for my Brothers weading and I stopped in to Fibonacci for a cup of coffee. I don't know what all the negative comments are about because I had an amazing experience there. The place was spotless and the staff were so amazing!

Tasty food, interesting atmosphere, big turnoff is uncleanliness
September 06, 2011Stopped for quick bite and coffee at lunch on two separate occasions in the year. Good coffee and tasty bistro type offerings . Prices typical for that kind of fare in town. Atmosphere is fine. Young staff not too concerned about timeliness of service. But it is the lack of cleanliness that is the big turn off. This place would... more

Don't go
June 05, 2011So we read the reviews before going and thought okay maybe people are just being picky or something....OH NO!!! We should have listened! The bathrooms were nasty and wreak of chemical or paint? The food wasn't bad, had some widdled spinach leaves, and not fairly priced for what you get. The WORST part though was while we were in there... more

Not that clean
October 09, 2010It's unnerving to go into a restaurant that is not that clean. This place isn't that bad... but still it was noticeable that it is not as clean as it should be. The owners should really look into this. The bulk of their patrons seem to be students or young people and they may overlook it but it's not fair... more

The BEST coffee ever
September 23, 2010On my 2nd trip to Penticton for the Ironman I tried Fibonacci and WOW! This is the cafe I can't wait to visit again when I return for 2011 Ironman. The aroma and the superb quality of the beans was amazing. In fact, I can't even go back to drinking mediocre Starbucks or other beans. Also, their pastry selection was... more

Not bad but
March 19, 2010Our coffee group checked it out again hoping for a higher standard and we were disappointed unfortunately. Nice atmosphere though with appealing tables and chairs but couches were uncomfortable. Disappointed with the dirty windows, not clean serving carafes at counter which left us wondering what the kitchen was like. Our lattes tasted milky with little coffee flavour. Good location downtown.

I am from Ontario just visiting, and my sister decided to take me here for lunch.
Very good service along with exelent food and a great atmosphere.
Not to many hippies, but lots of good and friendly locals.
Oh yeah, and great coffee!

Too many hippies and it's dirty
October 15, 2009Food is great-but the flis, clean-your-own-table, dreadlocked hippy atmosphere is not worth the visit for the cuisine. Take out is the only option.

Fairly nice resteraunt
July 24, 2009
I don't eat here all that often. When I do, it's often to have one of their donairs (which are quite good).
The food in my experience is fairly good, the waiting times can sometimes be quite sizeable (and occasionally flat out ridiculous).

Smells Delicious
April 07, 2009The coffee was good and the tea was better than most. Most items were organic and fair trade. It was really neat seeing the beans being roasted on site. We were there in the morning and the atmosphere was quiet and calm. It looked like they had a live band the night before and a area that could be curtained... more
