Great healthy vegan options! - Edit
It's so refreshing to find a place that has tempeh and seitan on the menu! We went on a Sunday morning, just after they opened, and were the first ones there...but the place got busy fast! The service was amazing, and the food was delicious! So many great options made it hard to choose not I ended up getting a flaxseed waffle with a side of tempeh, and the latte of the day (Biscoff cookie). They are also very community-driven.... host vegan meeting-ups, have a kids' corner, etc.

Great Brunch Buffet - Edit
January 1st was an awesome all you can eat New Years vegan buffet. All you could want in a brunch buffet, from pancakes to just eggs, baked beans to potatoes, vegan sausage plus croissants, fruit, granola and yogurt. Good quality food, not greasy like some buffets, and premium coffee to boot.
Read moreWe got there about 10:30 am, by 11:00 the restaurant was full.
What a great idea, soon to be regular, every last Sunday of the month . It was great to see families with young children, the future of veganism!
Kudos to the staff and owners at Naked Cafe for a successful event!
Last four photos are from previous visit.

Oh my! - Edit
Fantastic bowls! What’s amazing is that we ordered 4 different styles and each was equally delicious: Holiday Bowl (thanksgiving), Pad Thai, Buffalo Chickpea Caesar, and Sweet Chili Seitan. We also ordered poutine and the fried pickles YUM

lovely staff, fun atmosphere - Edit
I find the quality of the food to be more of a diner level, than say, Stillfood Bistro, which I consider much fresher / higher quality ingredients for about the same price per dish. This definitely has more of a greasy spoon vibe to me. That said, the staff are the most friendly in town, and the food is really good!
Read moreWe often order the market poutine and the pad Thai and split them, which are delicious, however pad thai is quite oily, and poutine is quite salty. A nice treat if you're splurging / not eating healthy. Their gia bonita and sweet chili seitan are also delicious, but use quite a bit of oil in the sauces too. The Nalu is probably the healthiest, and very good! I found the caesar salad to not be a very big portion size for a main. Not a fan of their burgers.
In the winter I love ordering their soup and sourdough, best price in Kelowna for a vegan soup that's quite filling and every soup I've tried is delicious.
Their lattes are really great too! I've often got the hedgehog latte, and the pink tea latte. Both are delicious, decadent with the coconut whipped cream on top and quite sweet, but you can modify them for less sweetness.

So many great Vegan options ! - Edit
We drove to Kelowna for a Vegan birthday dinner. Such a treat to have 3 pages of Vegan food options!!
Read moreWe went with the recommendations of our server and had an outstanding meal. We tried 2 different bowls and the carrot cake( best carrot cake I’ve ever had!)
The Green Flag bowl had an adzuki bean tempeh . It was good but different. The Gia Bonita hit my Mexican taste craving.
They also offered me a free hot drink on the house for my birthday. Unexpected and very nice of them . I had a decaf oat milk vanilla latte. Have to say they have really really good Expresso too!
We will definitely be making the drive again to try other options!!

The cutest and tastiest vegan diner - Edit
I ate here twice in less than 24 hours because they have so many options (and they are all so good!) - the BLTA is fantastic, the pesto pasta rules as well. The diner itself is also beyond cute. Will be visiting each time I’m in Kelowna!

What’s not to love here??? - Edit
I recently moved to West Kelowna and discovered this gem of vegan restaurant right across the bridge. It was hard to choose from the wide choices but today, we chose the Rise n’ shine hash and the Pad thaï. Both were delicious 😋. We will definitely be back here regularly and try everything else on the menu.
Read morePros: Fresh and delicious food, Nice food presentation , Great vibe/open concept dining

Back at the Cafe enjoying eating the fabulous Nalu Bowl with seitan bites; oh soooo good. I didn’t get our server’s name but she was super welcoming, friendly and efficient. Hat’s off to Naked Cafe once again.

I had a really good “BIG” breakfast this morning at Naked Café. Again, good food, good service and good vibe. Word of advice, bring your appetite for the Tempeh Bacon Benny, it’s big and very filling.

The coffee shop location - Edit
I really wanted to like this place. I was happy to see they had a small offering of their menu at the coffee shop location since their main restaurant is being reno’d.
Read moreTo be fair, I didn’t eat the pizza toastie right away, tried to eat it at the beach about 15 mins away. Also I don’t like yvves pepperoni.
Excellent concept, lacks the taste of what it should be. Even after I picked the pepperoni off, that’s all I could taste. Also their grill needs to be fixed. Lacking the grilled marks.
Anyways, tried it, won’t be back.
Pros: The name, Service , Price
Cons: Pretty much everything , Not a lot of choices
