We've known of Helmut's for years, stopping in the Kelowna location to grab stuff on our way back…read moreto the lower mainland. On our way to Tappen with empty stomachs we stopped at their Vernon location for a sandwich. Both craving BLT's the lovely K, thanks to Yelp saw that they had that offering. We pulled in, parked, and entered the store. It's always a treat to go in as the store is well stocked, well lit and always clean. The young man that helped us at the counter was courteous and informed us of the soups that were available that day. Borscht I think might be a staple here, and the other offering was Mulligatawny, which we have made at home. Our soup and sandwiches ordered with the choice of back, or side bacon, we went to the bistro area to await our lunch. Prior to stepping away however our bacon was cut fresh from the side. Who does that? Needless to say our sandwiches and soup were delicious, and from the looks of it we weren't the only ones that have discovered this gem. Another redo while in Kelowna or Vernon? You betcha, and we can't wait!

After lunch we spent about $75 in the deli and had some of the best meats, sausage rolls and pepperoni sticks we've ever had! My only complaint is that they're so far away from where we live! Five BIG stars to Helmut's!

Interesting grocery store in Vernon with nice staff and a good selection of produce and products…read more On a recent trip to Vernon we stopped in at Butcher Boys a few times for groceries. They've got a large store with almost everything you can think of - from fruit and veg to marshmallows, refreshments to seasonal items, candles to couscous! We appreciated how happy the staff were to serve us no matter how large or small our purchase happened to be. Prices are more than you may expect from larger chains(superstore or Walmart for instance) but not super expensive all things considered. Would happily return on our next trip.

I will never go back again and urge people to avoid that business at all costs. Shame on them for having the poorest customer service I have ever experienced in my 42 years on this Earth.

They are all so helpful. Every department has helpful staff. If they don't have an item that you're looking for then they'll special order it in for you. That's Customer Service! I love that they support local farmers. I am still a huge fan of their convenient Grab And Go foods in the front coolers. If you want catering done or organic smoothies, salads, sandwiches, entrees, freshly made drinks, baked goods.... they have a great deli and seating inside and (seasonally) outdoor tables and chairs too. They also have free publications to sit and enjoy with a cup of great brewed organic coffee.

No problem, I picked up a few things to take home with me in the morning...two types of smoked cheddar (2 larger blocks of cheese and 1 small block to enjoy during my travels). At the register I noticed some prepared meats, but I only recognized the "Pepperoni" sticks so I also picked a small package along with my cheese. I was developing a plan...cheese, some pepperoni, maybe a glass of wine...in my hotel...why not, eh? As I sat down in my hotel at the Kelowna Airport, cut up some of the cheese, opened the package of pepperoni...ummm, the cheese was fantastic, but wait...my mouth and throat are burning...what the devil is this? I tried to eat the pepperoni thinking that maybe it was the smoked cheese, but wait...reading the pepperoni package, apparently I missed the "Big red type" stating "FIRE HOT"...holy smokes. Let me say, the smoked cheese was yummy, very tasty. However, my error with choices for the pepperoni were a problem for me. It was so spicy hot that I just couldn't eat it. I'll read the package a little better next time.
