Bakeries

Vernon has some great bakeries. Getting there early is usually the norm, as they do sell out quickly. Many of the local coffee shops and cafés make their own baked goods as well.

Bonsai Bagels

Bonsai Bagels is the Okanagan's only Montreal-style bagel shop. Specializing in traditional crunchy and chewy bread rings, it is also a fiercely independent and funky coffee shop owned and operated by a Vernon local.

COBS Bakery

Located on Anderson Way, just off 27th Street, COBS Bread bakers are up early making bread from scratch. Their bread has no added sugar, colour or preservatives and is made from 100% whole grain flour. At the end of each day, all their leftover bread is donated to local charities.
