• Chaibaba - Our tour’s hidden treasure! Often, we have to coax people out of this loose leaf tea house, as the aroma, ambiance, and tranquility captivate them! A place you won’t soon forget and will likely revisit! Just like us :)
• Sprout Bread - Sprout is a local family-owned and operated Artisan Bakery. Located in the historic and lively Cultural District in Kelowna.

Owners Pete and Ava opened the doors in August 2018, and three weeks later, they were married and welcomed friends and family to celebrate in the newly completed bakery space. From there, there was no turning back! Sprout quickly became a community hub that brought people together, centered around one thing – good food and coffee.

They offer a wide variety of food and baked goods! Sprout aims to highlight the incredible natural abundance of the Okanagan while collaborating with farmers and suppliers to bring local flavors to the community.

All of the breads are made with certified organic flour. Among other health benefits, organic farming practices require thoughtful crop rotation and ensure greater biodiversity for the land.

When guests visit, they love watching the bakers at work, the welcoming atmosphere, and, of course, the exceptional food and coffee!
