From there, there was no turning back! Sprout quickly grew into a community hub that brought people together & centered around one thing – good food & coffee. They offer a wide variety of food & baked goods! Sprout aims to showcase the incredible natural abundance of the Okanagan. While working with farmers & suppliers to bring local flavours to the community. All of the breads are made with certified organic flour.
