Kelowna Foodie Recap | Love Letter Edition

📍 Diner Deluxe - The Shore Brunch with a view of Gyro Beach Park Fried Chicken & Waffle 🍗🧇 – "I’m obsessed." Perfectly crispy, well-seasoned chicken (not greasy!) Waffle is soft yet chewy, with a hint of jalapeño (unexpectedly delicious) Eggs? Also great. French Toast? Meh. Skip it. 📍 Sandrine French Pastry & Chocolate 🥐 The best croissants in Kelowna. Flaky, buttery, just like back home Baker clearly loves their craft – every croissant is a masterpiece 📍 Benny’s Coffee ☕ "The vibes > the coffee." Views = 10/10 Coffee = Just okay 📍 OEB Breakfast 🚫 "White people brunch at its finest." Too sweet, too basic – all looks, no flavor 📍 O-Lake 🍠 "The best taro paste I’ve had in Kelowna!" Real taro flavor, not too sweet Pineapple bun = nostalgic, old-school bakery taste For Kelowna? A miracle. 📍 Kororo Ramen 🍜 "Probably Kelowna’s best ramen… but not my style." Good quality, just not my preferred broth type Karaage (Japanese fried chicken) = better than most 📍 Ellis Market (Japanese Bakery) 🍵 "Hidden gem alert!" Matcha mochi & tiramisu = heavenly HUGE portions, super rich Puffs? A bit sweet, but first bite = mind-blowing (After eating my friend’s Lotus Basque cheesecake, this didn’t seem as magical… but still top-tier for Kelowna.) 📍 Macao Imperial Tea 🥭 Mango Pomelo Sago Slush – "I’m addicted." The best thing I drank in Kelowna Refreshing, fruity, perfect texture The drink that made me fall in love with mango pomelo sago (but only in slush form!) Final Thoughts ✅ Must-Go: Diner Deluxe (fried chicken waffle), Sandrine (croissants), Ellis Market (Japanese bakery), Macao (mango slush) ❌ Skip: OEB (overrated), Benny’s (just okay coffee) #KelownaEats #BrunchLover #HiddenGems
