The pastries are fresh and DELICIOUS, and very unique. You can't get a lot of the stuff they offer anywhere else in Kelowna. I recommend trying a NY croissant roll, a sorbet macaroon and a tub of gelato, my absolute fav is the honey lavender one. Pricey but worth every dollar

On the pricey side, but worth every dollar…read more While in Kelowna, we went to this location and the other, and tried a variety of pastries and chocolates. Although the macarons were good, the best I've had were at Bon Macaron Patisserie in Vancouver. However, the other sweets were outstanding. I highly recommend the Moulin Rouge (flourless mousse cake) any of the chocolates that include caramel, and the cherry ganache (candy). They also had mille-feuille, which is made of thin layers of pastry with pastry cream in between. It blew my mind. Service was okay. The young women who worked in both places were super busy and a bit impatient. As far ambiance goes, everything was bright white and clean. Expect a line.

Best Bakery I have been to in Kelowna…read more First off, the staff. The staff is exceptional. So friendly, make you feel like they appreciate your business, make suggestions as to what to have. They all make is a delightful experience. The baking.... yum. We were doing some house renovations nearby so literally went here every day for ten days. I would pop in to Starbucks for my coffee and then get a treat here. Everything we had was delicious - the peanut butter cup (yum), cherry almond bar, peanut butter cookie....... tonight it is Saskatoon Berry pie. Also bought a few loaves of Sourdough. A really wonderful bakery and if you are in the neighbourhood, and even if you are not, it is worth the trip.

And when I pay for said cake, I don't expect to be asked for a tip on your point of sale terminal. You hand me a cake, I pay for cake, I bring cake home. Period. Everything at this bakery is expensive compared to other bakeries. And you can't tell me you make everything yourself...a lot of it are things you bring in from outside.

While visiting Kelowna, I went to my regular spot. This time, I ordered the Pumpkin and Matcha…read moreLatte to enjoy in the café, along with a Maple Pecan Cube Croissant and an apple to take out. The pumpkin cake featured dark chocolate, a sable base, pumpkin pie custard, and passionfruit cheesecake. The pumpkin pie custard resembled the filling of a pumpkin pie and was covered by pumpkin-shaped chocolate. The passionfruit cheesecake layer was not very dominant, allowing for a well-balanced combination with the pumpkin pie custard. The sable base complemented the dessert perfectly. The apple dessert featured apple-lime compote, yuzu mousse, a white chocolate shell, and a sbrisolona cookie base. The apple-lime compote was tangy, but it blended well with the yuzu mousse, making it seriously delicious. I usually can't handle tangy desserts, but I enjoyed this one; it was that good. The sbrisolona cookie included almonds (or possibly other nuts), which added a great flavor as well. The maple pecan cube croissant was very delicious, too. A notable point was the filling; the maple flavor was delightful, leaning slightly on the sweeter side but still so good. The maple drizzle with pecans on top of the cube croissant made it even more delicious. I highly recommend this item! Without visiting Karat, my trip to Kelowna wouldn't be complete. I can't wait to visit this bakery-café to try different items.

Staff going by don't acknowledge the waiting customer. When you place your order they don't give options. Today I ordered two ham & cheese on Focaccia To go! I thought there was a special as the sign said two for $10.50 and they were small. I ordered two from the staff member who had appeared after a few minutes. No questions, she just grabbed two went into the back. Not sure why. Came back with two sandwiches each on a plate in their own paper bag! Rang then up on their fancy card machine and walked away! The amount was $21.00. Another staff member came. I asked the staff member about the sign that said two for $10.50. Was told that was for the small sandwiches which were half the large ones and I got the large ones. End of conversation. No option to get what I wanted. We drove home. Put the paper plates on a dinner plate and sat down to eat. Nice poration of ham & cheese! No lettuce, mustard or cucumber. The bottom half of my sandwich was so soggy I had to throw it out. The focaccia seems like day old. The food has not on average been bakery/cafe quality and lackadaisical service model doesn't encourage me to go back!

I regretted tipping. Lesson learned - never tip before completing a meal and having the full experience. We waited about 20 mins for coffee. When we followed up, she said "it's coming"; and went about standing there doing nothing. This is insane. Food wasn't great but at least the bread and veggies were fresh. Coffee sucked. Sadly, we threw it away. It felt like the leftover at the end of a brewing pot when we paid for and expected a luscious latte. Not going back. Not a nice vibe. Sad.
