Sprout Bread

As a local, this is a must-visit place on your visit to Kelowna. The atmosphere is lovely and their patio is quaint on a sunny day. Great coffee and even better sourdough and pastries. All-time favorite is their table loaf (I use this for sandwiches) and their cheddar green onion scones. Today, we met friends here for brunch. I was blown away by the oatmeal with rhubarb compote. We also ordered the butcher sand which and soup. I recommend the butcher, among all sandwiches! As for parking: there is paid street parking and a paid lot next to the bakery.

Seemed to be very popular even when there were wildfires clogging up the air. The staff were friendly. There is plenty of seats. Real airy and nice touch that they have an open kitchen that you can peer into from sitting above them. Their food and coffee options were tasty.

My favorite brunch spot in Kelowna. I love the rustic atmosphere and the quality of everything is top notch. The coffee here was delicious! We got a cappuccino and an iced latte. The crispy potatoes are a must-try. We ordered it with a side of cheese custard - yum! For sandwiches, we got the Montreal Smoked Meat & The Ploughman. Loved the Ploughman, it was sweet and savory. The smoked meat sandwich we found a little dry. Be careful with the toast, it scratched the roof of mouth a bit 😂 We tried a friends’ Salted Rye Cookie and it was so fudgey and decadent. A must-visit spot.

My friend and I walked to this location hoping to get some coffee and bread for our lunch today. Some reviews said that the sandwiches were lots of bread but not much meat or innards so we decided to take the bread home instead. We walked in and enjoyed the atmosphere inside. It looked like a great place to do some work or have a meeting. In fact, I did spot a group of people upstairs having a business meeting! They even have a kids table with small chairs up front for the kiddos. Something that confused us a tad was that there is another coffee shop beside this place that also serves coffee… so there’s two coffee shops side by side… why? We don’t know. It’s called sprout x slowside. After some inspection, it looked like slowside had some automatic pour over machines while sprout had espresso machines for the coffee. My friend said that most people don’t really know much about pour over coffee or order it for that matter. Most people get lattes and stuff from coffee shops… and if they do order pour overs, they want a barista to do it, not a machine. Where is the personality of the coffee if it is done by a machine! And those machines are expensive! Servers were often walking back and forth between shops which seemed a bit strange and unorganized. Also it looked like both shops had different baked goods at their counters. Also they had 2 coffee grinders. Are they grinding two different types of beans? Anyways, we ordered a flat white, a cappuccino and a rye bread from the lady at the till. She was very friendly and was quick to serve us! We got our bread from the counter and waited for our coffee to go. We waited for quite a while for the coffee .. maybe around 8 mins. It’s a good thing that there were lots of things to look at in the shop like plants, coffee beans, the bakers in the back who knead the dough. I would say that they are on the ‘slowside’ (pun intended) when it comes to making coffee. Eventually we did get our coffee and it tasted pretty good! I had the flat white and it wasn’t too bitter and it was definitely a smooth beverage. When we got to our air bnb we were excited to try the bread!! We got out the 2 serrated knives in the kitchen and one of the knives could not cut it so we had to try the other knife. It took a lot of patience and some strength to really cut this bread as the crust is really thicc! We had to really let the blade go back and forth quite a few times to cut some slices. Sadly my friend didn’t have the best of luck and cut it unevenly and could not toast it well on the frying pan for his open face sandwich. All in all though, the bread was delicious. The inside is moist and complex in flavour and the crust isn’t too hard to bite as it has a good chew.. after a while though, my jaw was a bit sore from the workout. UPDATE: It has been a few hours after eating the bread and drinking the coffee and we both have noticed that we are a bit gassy!! Is it from this place? It’s still a mystery.. Now would I would go back to this place for coffee and/or baked goods? Heck yes! I would even enjoy studying or reading here!

Sprout is a really cool coffee shop and bakery in a great location. The coffee is fantastic and prices are very fair. The sandwich I had there (The Butcher) was honestly one of the best I’ve had in my life. I could eat one every day if I could. The atmosphere is also great - there is a ton of space and it makes a great place to go and work for a few hours.
