Our first proper vegan meal visiting the lovely city of Kelowna, BC for the VegFest Kelowna event the next day. It was our pleasure to meet so many amazing people at their weekly meetup (every Saturday after 5pm .. attendees receive 20% off food items). Most everyone at that meetup were dedicated VegFest volunteers, giving of their time and energy to contribute to making the event a great success. We are admittedly, but lowly groupies .. just following and attending the event at all three of their showings in the BC area this year (Nanaimo, Victoria (which I still have to post pictures of ...) and now Kelowna (which I'll also have to post pictures of lol) The dishes we had at Naked Cafe were spectacular, and I don't use that word lightly, with an incredible amount of flavor and depth in in every bite! They also have an incredible variety of items, brunch, dinner, lattes, adult beverages, pizza, and so much more! Whenever you make it out to Kelowna, the Naked Cafe needs to be on your list of top places to visit. read more

Ordered through Door Dash and my hedgehog coffee was half spilled and the drink tab was flipped up. There was no seal or stopper provided to ensure that my drink was not tampered with. Nalu bowls were much smaller than several years ago. Requested quinoa instead of brown rice for one and request was never acknowledged. Fortunately the food still tasted good. read more

This is my second time coming here. Very good affordable vegan food. Great for a healthy lunch. The featured poutine today had fried avocado, cabbage and other things on it. Gravy and cheese tasted so good and even better then non vegan poutines. The walburger made of beets and walnuts is a great burger substitute. The flavor and texture work and you don't feel bad eating it. The sweet chili seitan had really crispy chunks that fooled me as chicken. I sauce on it was a good balance of spicy and sweet. We went with a big group of around 12 and they were able to fit us. The wait staff is very nice. Though it took awhile for them to being out plates for the apps. I will def come again when I am in the area! read more

Simple and delicious. The tofu pieces were crispy on the outside but so soft on the inside. The veggies and quinoa were cooked perfectly. read more

Naked Cafe - Buddha bowl - Cafes Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

We ordered takeout. Despite some of the names of the dishes, the entire restaurant is plant-based, yippee!! We ordered a side of Mac and cheese, beet/walnut burger (with poutine!), cauliflower tacos, beyond burger, and two cupcakes (which was too much food for two people, but who knew?). The poutine was excellent and a relief that the gravy is plant based, great flavor! Burgers were also really good, and the seasoned fries are excellent. Cauliflower tacos were probably my favorite, I loved the buffalo/vinegar hit of the sauce and pickled onions. I was really, really hoping for a nice creamy cashew Mac and cheese, but either they forgot the creamy part or that's how it is. Mine was dry, with a nice topping of cashews and cashew-based cheese on top, but no actual sauce. I'm kind of relieve I only ordered a side, instead of a larger portion. Overall we really enjoyed it - recommend for anyone eating plant-based, or omnivore - I think there's something for everyone. read more

I came really, really close to stripping out of my clothes, getting naked, and turning vegetarian. That's how good it was. An absolute gem, Naked Cafe is one of the best vegetarian/vegan restaurants I've ever been to in my life. And I'm a meat eater! During a weekend trip to Sparkling Hill Resort, I decided by total chance to pick some place to eat in Kelowna before heading to the Resort. By a pure roll of dice and by the grace of the gods, I was led by Google Maps to this casual, clean, and comfortable place of purveyance. And boy was I lucky. Even if you're a meat eater, you'll find something you like at Naked Cafe, guaranteed. It's clean, reasonably priced, efficiently staffed, and the food was delicious and presented well. I opted for the Buffalo Chickpea Caesar for $13.00 which was beautifully presented, filled my tummy, and was as good as it looked. My special homie ended up getting one of the burgers (the name of which escapes me at this time) and subbed the side of fries for a poutine which was heavenlyyyyyy and so worth. The patty itself on the burger was thick, juicy, tasty, and didn't taste like it wasn't meat at all. I was very surprised! Loved the black-coloured bun, super unique. The menu had so many interesting things that I wanted to try them all, but didn't have the stomach for more. In total, we spent about $30.00, which we could have easily spent at any other restaurant so for the price and quality of food I give this place a 5/5! I'll definitely be coming back to Naked Cafe if I'm ever in the Kelowna area. A must try in the city - I don't know why it's not more popular! I'm so glad I found it. Can't wait to get Naked again soon! read more

Naked Cafe is an absolute treasure. When I posted online that I was in Kelowna I had multiple vegan friends tell me that I had to try it. One friend claimed that they make the best friends she's ever had. I decided to go with a cheeseburger with a side of regular fries. If you can do a vegan version of the classics well, everything else is easy. This burger uses a Beyond Meat patty which is already a good sign. Oh my gosh though! If I lived in Kelowna, I'd be here every day. The burger was juicy and well-seasoned and the fries absolutely lived up to the hype. They are thin and crispy; definitely some of the best fast-food fries I've ever had. My non-vegetarian family all enjoyed their meals, even my dad who struggles with the idea that you can have a meal without meat. The atmosphere of Naked Cafe is a great compliment to their food. Understated, simple decor and a bright, clean space. I'm already dreaming about my next visit. read more

Absolutely loved loved the food! The restaurant has such a nice vibe, the service is great. Do try the Nula Bowl! read more

Ordered the breakfast sandwich and veggie breakfast. Both were delicious! I think the breakfast sandwich could have had some of the eh'gg on it too for some different texture! But the cheddar cheeze was also really good! Excellent vegan place. Will try to come back for a dinner meal! My only reservations were the cost, above average prices but worth it for an occasional treat. read more

A *must* for vegans! We got the Buddha Bowl w buffalo tricken and the Sunflower Alfredo w salt & pepper tricken. Both were impressive, nourishing, and filling portions. This place is a delight. The culture and vibe is top notch. read more

delicious plant based food with a variety of choices. Breakfast lunch and dinner. Friendly staff and a laid back vibe. My fave dishes are the Pad Thai and the Nalu Bowl. If you like vegan food give it a go you won't be disappointed. read more

After my visit to the kangaroo farm, I wanted something to eat near downtown so we could walk around the water afterwards and my family wanted something healthy so we decided to stop here. I'm straight up a carnivore. I love meat and always will. I usually never go to a vegan or vegetarian restaurant because you know, there is no meat. But this place really blew me away with not just the service but the spectacular food. After my meal, I had to reassess since I found myself liking cauliflower. No one likes cauliflower, it's broccoli's unwanted cousin. Below are the items we tried: CHILI CHIKIN $10 (BEST CAULIFLOWER EVER--HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) beer-battered cauliflower florets & cucumber tossed in sweet chili sauce on a bed of creamy coconut rice. garnished with green onion & sesame. HULA BURGER $13 (Not bad for a fake burger) beefy veggie patty brushed with organic sesame teriyaki sauce, melted Daiya mozzarella. pea shoots, grilled pineapple & organic mixed greens BUDDHA BOWL $13 (family loved it) quinoa topped with cajun-fried tomato, zucchini, mushrooms & non¬-gmo organic tofu. drizzled with a tangy creamy sesame sauce & sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds YAM FRIES $6 (BEST SWEET POTATO FRIES I'VE EVER HAD) with spicy mayo If I ever find myself in Kelowna again, I will 100% stop by here again. read more

Very tasty and simple. The bowls are less filling than the burgers. We had the basic cheese burger and the one with the hoisin sauce, very tasty. The seasoned fries are delicious and they give a lot of ketchup ! We also tried the poutine, it was good but maybe not worth the extra 4$. But I still was very impressed by the taste of the gravy ! The chikin bowl was tasty, you have to know it's pretty sweet I will definitely go back read more

I had the Nalu Bowl - Kale, brown coconut rice, beet hummus, avocado, pea shoots, naked vinaigrette, toasted quinoa and chia seeds. It was tasty, and very reasonably priced at $12. However I would have preferred to pay $14/$15 for a larger portion size. Maybe offer two different sizes? Either way the bowl was delicious, the service (what little you need) was tolerable. read more

Naked cafe is one of my highlights in food experience while visiting Kelowna. It's a short walk from the waterfront . The good is great and the staff are super kind. Treat yourself to a great experience! read more

Always a pleasure here! They always make my food perfect and the staff are so friendly. 10/10

Possibly one of the most interesting restaurants that I have come across in Kelowna. This is all vegan restaurant and although I am not vegan, I do enjoy eating here and yes, the portions are really filling! I have tried their Nalu Bowl which is extremely delicious - warm brown rice, sprouts, avocado, beet hummus with seeds and kale + naked vinaigrette. I have also tried their Mozza Mushroom Burger with fries. It was soooo good and the fries are are extremely delicious and crunchy. Love that little sprinkle of whatever they put on the fries. Such an adorable restaurant. It gets really busy around lunch so it's better to go early for an early lunch or much later to avoid the crowd! Presentation of the food is nice too and great customer service. read more

Naked Cafe - That's a bowl. I forgot the name. Kind of salty but ok the rest was great. Small yam portion for 7 bucks - Cafes Near Me - Kelowna, British Columbia

I had high hopes. And they were all outta veggie burgers. The 'pulled pork' sammy was ok, but tasted like hashed sweet potatoes in a bun, and I've had way better textures for vegan Cubanos in Vancouver, Victoria, Portland.., I can see what they're trying to do here, give vegan people a comfort food destination, it just isn't, well, great. It's only ok. There are so many great recipes out there...chef, do some research! The service, also meh. Table service would've been so much better. Whenever I'm ordering from a counter and then sitting with a number on my table, it feels like I'm at a low quality cafe, not a proper eatery. Yam fries, cold on arrival. 'Tricken' burger...gross. It tastes like a plain slab of firm tofu. It is 'ok' because the atmosphere and music are awesome. I will give the rest a pass. read more

In my short stay in Kelowna I have to say I found this gem way too late. The food is addictive, from the fries with the amazing seasoning to the salads to the burgers to the cupcakes, well let's just say all the food is fricking yum. What can I say, I wish I could have tried everything more than once. And best of all for me, it's vegan. I don't drink coffee, but my fiancé had a coconut latte and her exact words were "this is the best coffee I've ever had" And I can't mention the seasoning on the fries enough, my mouth is excited just thinking about it. Vegan or not, I believe that there is something for all. Oh and the staff are helpful and lovely, Make this place a regular spot so when I come back it's still here for me. read more

I'm giving this a three star because I've had one very good experience, and one very bad. The first time I was actually quite shocked. The staff seemed bored not only with their job, but with life in general (not a good attitude for a service job), and the server was dressed unprofessionally and well outside the boundaries of what's suitable for a restaurant. The food was mediocre, which wouldn't be so much of a problem if it had come in a reasonable amount of time. Close to an hour for poutine is not reasonable. Maybe the staff was off that day, I don't know. But the second time I ate here it was much better. The vegan burger was delicious, and served in decent time. The unsavory qualities of the staff as listed before were not consistent, and were much more to my liking (professional, kind, clean, happy, etc.). One more thing I'd like to mention is that while the experience was more pleasant the second time around, I'd personally have liked a remodelling of the restaurant itself. There is one row of tables along the wall while the rest of the room is filled with couches. I understand that it's a cafe, but it seems so only in name, as the menu consists primarily of food (just my two cents). I'd recommend you try this place out if you're in the area, particularly if you're vegan/vegetarian. read more

Excellent food and extremely friendly staff. Had the hula burger and kale caesar, which made for a great combination of flavours and textures. Healthy but hearty. I also bought one of the gluten-free muffins to go. To be honest, it wasn't very good (extremely sweet, odd texture, and it quickly fell apart). read more

One of my favourite spots in Kelowna, for sure. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and well portioned. It's a casual restaurant with couches as well so you can easily come in for the complimentary WiFi and have a date with your laptop while enjoying some of their yummy beverage items. I encourage anybody vegan or non vegan to give this place a chance! read more

Can't count how many times as ive eaten here ...is that sad? I think not. Just good food and good service making a repeat customer outta me! Being vegan and trying to eat out can be tough but things are changing in the world and Naked cafe is leading the charge here in Kelowna! Everything they make is great, my personal favorite is the breakfast scramble with drip coffee. The best! All the staff rock and were super helpful to my wife and I when we were seeking info on good spots to eat in town. Hope they're just as helpful when I get my food truck up and running!! ;);) Love this place...10/5! read more

I visited in Feb with some family and would try it again. The staff were super friendly. Although it was busy, our meals came in a timely fashion as well. I ordered the kale cesar. I thought it was amazing and the portions were decent. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the overly drenched hot sauce chickpeas. I think for a first timer, it should specify on the menu different heat level options. The over kill of sauce took away from the other flavours in the bowl. Otherwise, it was still rather good. read more

What an amazing restaurant! Love love the food here and the service was A++. The two young ladies that worked the counter and floor areas were amazing - super helpful and super friendly! The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and inviting. I ordered the veggie sausage scramble for breakfast and it the best veggie scramble ever, in fact the best breakfast I've ever had! I went back the next day and had the pulled Sandy (sandwich - which also happens to be my first name haha) and it also was the best sandwich I've ever had! I ordered the kale ceasar on the side which was an awesome side! I don't know if it was just a special for the day or a usual item, but i had the turmeric chai with vanilla liquor and it was perfect! It's obviously a popular spot - it was busy at breakfast time and lunch time. I can't wait to go to Kelowna again just for this restaurant - for the food and to visit the two awesome young ladies that work there! Note to Naked Cafe owners - please open a location in Vancouver and Hamilton, ON!! read more
