If you want an unforgettable throwback experience, Krafty Kitchen 90’s themed hip-hop brunch is your best bet. From their cleverly named dishes to their fluffy pancakes, this is a local favourite for good reason. Located on Lawrence Avenue, this chic restaurant has a long list of innovative American dishes made in-house from a rich blend of locally sourced ingredients. 

Krafty houses a small outdoor patio where you can enjoy your brunch under the warm Okanagan sun. The interior is a combination of sleek furniture and distinctive, on-brand decor designed to reflect their unique cuisine. The hip-hop music in the background will get you singing along – a touch that reinforces this cool ambiance.

Some of our favourite dishes here include Tupac, featuring smoked Kessler ham and eggs, the Will.I.Am – their spin on a vegan hollandaise sauce, and the Pop Lox and Drop it, a delicious salmon breakfast bowl. These dishes are best paired with a well-curated cocktail that is better tasted than spoken of. Ask a local about what the best brunch spot in Kelowna is, and there’s a good chance they say Krafty!

Tucked in the busy surroundings of Highway 97, just four minutes north of the Kelowna Airport, The Jammery’s main location houses a restaurant, a busy production building and a gift shop.
