Polene Bakery & Bistro

Great sandwiches; definitely recommended!

However, since they make such good bread, I couldn't help but wonder what a sandwich with their bread (instead of meat) as the star would taste like.

Easily the best sandwiches in Kelowna!

Hands down the best sandwiches in Kelowna. The portion sizes are very big and the sandwiches are packed with delicious fresh ingredients. We felt like the prices were very fair for what you get.

It is a tiny place with no seating so don’t expect to come for a sit down meal. Parking is also a bit difficult but there’s some free street parking nearby.

We highly recommend coming here! Definitely better value than some other similar sandwich shops in town.

Finally got to try Polene out and it’s sooo worth it. The staff is super friendly and the sandwiches are next level. I had the Italian and I’ll honestly say it’s the closest thing I’ve had to All’Antico Vinaio since coming back from Florence.

Store is small only reason for 4/5. the food was delicious and staff were very polite. Beef chimichurri was tasty. The beef sandwich is described as brisket but is actually corned beef.

They make hands down the best rye bread here! It’s so tasty and reminds me of home. Their rye bread is truly fantastic, and the staff are always super nice and helpful. I’m so happy I found this place!

We tried the sandwiches here from an instagram recommendation and wow!!! What great flavor and value. All the ingredients were top quality. Fresh meats, veg and cheese piled on soft yet crispy focaccia bread. I had the Nonna which was the perfect balance of savory, sweet and spicy. Just what you want in an Italian sandwich. I can’t think of a place where I’ve had better. If you haven’t, please give this place a try.
