Terry Bedwell is a long-time vendor of luscious baked goods at Cranbrook’s farmers market—her raspberry-white-chocolate scones are her signature. In January 2017 she acquired the lease for True Root Café in Cranbrook’s Best Western Hotel. The restaurant opens from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. every day and welcomes Cranbrook residents as well as travellers. The menu offers lots of delicious variety including bacon-onion-and-cheese biscuits, banana-chocolate-chip muffins, savoury quesadillas, overflowing omelettes, creative sandwiches and wraps and homemade soups. True Root also does lunchtime catering on request.
