Best place for a nice and quiet lunch in Kelowna. Kate and Jeremy are the sweetest and most caring owners I have met. I’ve been countless times and each is just as great as the last! I look forward to coming back!

Stopped in for coffee while passing through on a road trip. Jeremy was very accommodating and kind to our large group despite showing up near closing. He even gave us recommendations for some places to visit while in town. Thank you for your hospitality!

Sandwiches are delicious, but I really love the Korean dishes. The Korean BBQ Wrap and BiBimBap are amazing! So good I brought my family (6 of us) for lunch one day. Everything was amazing and everyone loved their orders. The star is the Beef dip - it's the best beef dip ever! Hosts treated us to some pulled pork fries which was also delicious and an amazing gesture.

We had lunch here for the first time because my fil always talks about this place and we absolutely loved it! I got a bulgogi bibimbap and my husband got a beef dip, both dishes were delicious! Their fries are so good! We were also able to meet the owners Katy and Jeremy, a lovely Korean couple that made us feel very welcomed and gave us the best service. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Brown Bag and we will definitely be back! Happy that we found another great spot in Kelowna 💜

This place is so delicious! We had the beef dip, Bulgogi wrap, grill cheese and Bi bam bop (I don’t know the spelling) and pulled pork in fries and everything was absolutely delicious! Even the fries were freshly made! Price points are great and the owners are very friendly and kind. Definitely recommend!

Far and beyond my favourite place to go for lunch. I love the pulled pork special on Wednesdays! They have a variety of food to choose from. Jeremy and Kate are super friendly, and I have never had a bad experience coming here. I highly recommend Brown Bag for either take-out or dine in!

Great little place does breakfast and lunch everything freshly made. Wednesdays are pulled pork special and so good! Way better then fast food! Great prices for what you get. Owner was super nice and you can tell hes passionate about his food. Support small local places like this, and check it out! Diner style atmosphere,great food 5 stars! Ill definitely come back. Vegetarian options: Menus can be flexible to accommodate your dietary needs to extend but easily make vegetarian food. Parking: Parking right infront but has free parking lot available. Kid-friendliness: Easy foods to please any kid. Wheelchair accessibility: Chairs and table movable for comfortable seating to accommodate wheelchair. 1st floor no stairs. Parking infront of restaurants.

$0.99 service fee discreetly added to place a pickup order?!?! Are you kidding me... for what? Absolute cash grab and crazy to think I just owe you guys a dollar for doing absolutely nothing. Expecting your customers to pay for your online ordering service is ludicrous. You are fortunate I didnt catch this after I ordered and paid. Would be absolutely furious

I recently moved to Kelowna from New Zealand. I have no idea where to go to eat in this town. On my very first day working in one of the Landmark buildings, I meandered into Brown Bag and bought a sandwich for lunch. Ever since then, Ive been going once or twice a week, and never had a disappointing experience. Everything Ive tried has been delicious, homecooked, made and served with care and love. Such wonderful service, friendly owner/operator, and just a lovely genuine place to pop by for lunch. They also have some of the best prices in the area for a quick bite. I would recommend them to anyone! I also highly suggest popping in on Wednesdays to try out the daily special - its always something not on the usual menu and its always something delicious!

After hearing my coworker rave about this place for months, I finally was able to go. I ordered the Korean BBQ beef wrap, with borscht on the side. The wrap had an ideal amount of delicious beef and lots of fresh, crisp veggies too. Beets and tops filled the borscht, making it hearty and filling. This meal was fantastic and I will definitely be coming back again!

The Korean food seems to be good quality and its their speciality. They have a lot of Western items though too, and I think their menu is too big to manage properly. The owners seem great but the waitress obviously doesnt want to be there, so double-check what she brings to your table.

If you have a similar sense of entitlement as Nadia below, this place isnt for you. However if you are looking for a fresh sandwich & soup, or a burger & fries for lunch, then this is your place. Owners are ESL, but are very friendly. The menu is exactly as one would expect from a place called Brown Bag Bistro. I work near Landmark and go here once a week.

This might be my new favorite place in the area. Came in here 15 minutes before they were set to close and the gentleman was very happy to have us. Very friendly atmosphere and delicious food. We had the chicken chow mein with spring rolls (chow mein was packed with veggies and chicken) and the club wrap with fries (all very fresh and yummy)! Will definitely go here again. Too bad theyre not open later.
