Sprout is a local family owned, & operated, Artisan Bakery. Situated inside the historic, & vibrant, Cultural District in Kelowna. Owners Pete & Ava opened the doors in August of 2018, three weeks later they were married & welcomed friends & family to celebrate in the newly finished bakery space. From there, there was no turning back! Sprout quickly grew into a community hub that brought people together ¢tered around one thing – good food & coffee. They offer a wide variety of food & baked goods! Sprout aims to showcase the incredible natural abundance of the Okanagan. While working with farmers & suppliers to bring local flavours to the community. All of the breads are made with certified organic flour. Among other health benefits, organic farming practises require thoughtful crop rotation and ensure greater bio-diversity for the land. When my guests visit they love being able to watch the bakers at work, the welcoming atmosphere, & of course the outstanding food & coffee!
