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!

SO many delicious options!!…read more Besides the great fresh Seafood on ice, they also have cooked items, and delicious "pizza by the Slice"...and some other delectable "Oven to Plate" dishes!! And if you phone ahead, they will make you a "Fish and Chip" plateful to die for!! Most Sea Food or Fish places in the interior don't understand what "FRESH" Seafood means... you can usually smell the fish before you see it...Most is OLD... flash frozen...

Won't even provide a pair of disposable gloves when asked to attend to a nasty cut. Shameful.read more

i'm *really* surprised by that first review!! i'm not "dark skinned" (i hope that's not…read moreoffensive!!) so i can't comment on the racial profiling... BUT!! this store is my most favourite place to shop in vernon! the first tuesday of each month is 10% off. every first tuesday, i pack along all my bins and four pre-schoolers. the staff is always patient and very helpful and the owner almost always offers my kids a special treat from the bins. they let me bring my bins!! if you're "earth friendly", this is a huge perk. i just bring my bins to the spice counter and they write the tare (the weight) on the bottom, then i fill up my bins! it's a great service, is great for the environment, and a great time saver, as i don't have a million bags sitting in my pantry or freezer! when we go through the till, they chat with my kids, share recipes with me, and quite often carry my bags out to my van for me! this is one store that really makes me proud to shop locally! i would recommend it to ANYONE, and very often, i do!! try it out! such a great store!!
