The Best Brunch and Breakfast Spots in Kelowna, British Columbia

Known around town as the only place with a duck fat fryer, there’s more to KRAFTY than just this specialty. They are a farm-to-table restaurant that focuses on local and sustainable produce. Some of the standout dishes on their weekend brunch menu include all of the eggs benedict varieties and the “Southern Playalistic”: cheddar pancake, buttermilk fried chicken, coleslaw and hot sauce.

They call themselves the best restaurant on the water in Kelowna, and OAK + CRU may be correct. Their breakfast menu is one of the most extensive. Some unique offerings include their homemade banana bread with candied cinnamon cashews, caramelized stone fruit, and orange zest. On the savory side, OAK + CRU also serves a “19th Century Skillet,” with chorizo, potatoes, peppers, onions, tomatoes, cheese, eggs, avocado crème fraîche, and fruit.

Established in 1991 by a brother-sister duo and located in a prime position in downtown Kelowna, Bohemian Cafe does catering around the Okanagan Valley, but it’s their breakfast spread that keeps customers returning.

Their most famous dish is the blueberry oatmeal buttermilk pancakes, which come with fresh berries, maple syrup, and icing sugar.

Serving the only Cuban cuisine in the Okanagan, Soul De Cuba is a must-visit café to try something different for breakfast.

There’s also the El Cubanito foot-long sub, with bacon, eggs, tomato, cheese, and mayonnaise.

Located at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel, Gulfstream is a great breakfast spot in Kelowna when going to or from the airport.
