The boys and I have been here twice already! This is a great place for cherry picking and a picnic…read morelunch since there are a lot of shaded areas around the orchard. Nevertheless, it is still a good idea to wear a hat and sunscreen. There are also ladders available for picking the fruit from the top of the tree, but please do so at your own risk (the ground is a bit uneven)! Cherry picking season runs from the first week of July to the first week of August, depending on the growing season. This summer, the Stellas were being sold at $2.25 per pound and the Rainers were $3.75 (cash only!). The other varieties they sell include Satin, Lapin, Early Yellow, Skeena, Stardust, Crystaline, and Staccato.

On our second visit to this u-pick cherry orchard, we took a break for a picnic lunch under a huge…read moremaple tree in the backyard. I can't exactly explain why picking big, ripe, juicy cherries is fun, but marvelling at the bunches of fruit hanging on the trees is an experience in itself. Savouring the sweet cherries later is pure enjoyment.

Paynter Fruit Market is a market and u-pick farm in West Kelowna BC…read more The farm offers guided tours of the orchard, which is quite nice!! We did our own picking of fruits, which were peaches and golden plums. Flowers, pumpkins and pears can also be picked up. The market itself has a full variety of BC fruits and vegetables, along with products made locally. Paynter's market is one of MANY orchards, farms and markets in the Okanagan valley which sells produce!! The ambiance is very nice and warm. It's nice to go to an orchard and pick your own fruits and vegetables, which can of course be eaten fresh, but used for other prepared dishes and preserves. Service at Paynter's is very professional and friendly, and very knowledgeable of local produce and items.

I love getting all my staples here, coffee, bread, veg, cream, eggs etc…read more My kid loves getting icecream and rolling down the grass in the back, nice way to spend some time with a coffee.

Having a bit of experience with this establishment in another town, I was delighted to find out…read morethat there was one in kelowna. Some of my coworkers and I like to eat healthy once in a while. This place has all the good stuff to buy on the market, and of course the ready made goodness. I chose the lunch special again and it was even better than the last one I had. The service was awesome and fast. The price was good as it is not any more expansive than buying some fast food. This is definitely a place I will return to.

Always pleased with the quality of the produce and the selection of healthy and delicious choices…read more Competitively priced is a bonus as I love the stores and the staff that are always friendly and helpful.

Been coming here since 2014, love this cute family run place…read more The service is good, food is fresh and always consistently made well. This place was very nicely designed and looks nice inside and out. It is always clean and well kept. I love the Vegetable samosas, Coconut curry lentil soup and Aloo Gobi. To make these dishes vegan just ask for no butter on the naan. The only things are I wish they had brown basmati rice and whole wheat naan. Can't wait to try the Vegetable and Channa masalas. My fiancé loves the Hillcrest breakfast special, samosas and their Egg salad sandwich, my cousin really likes their Sunny tuna melt. My dad from Vancouver LOVED their samosas so much that he wanted to order 10 to take back home. He said the Hillcrest samosas were better than the samosas he's had at many different places in Surrey and Vancouver. They make really great drinks too and I appreciate that they have almond milk as well. Also, when their satin cherries are in season - they are the best I've had so far in Kelowna. Beautiful deep red colour, juicy, very sweet, not too soft. And nice size too! Sooo good!

This was our second time coming here…read more Food was still extremely slow coming out. Also, the portions were small for the price. Hubby's eggs bene were acceptable, but I ordered a breakfast sandwich without egg and it didn't come with anything else described on the menu. Basically all I received was two thin slices of back bacon on a bun with mayo; none of the veg or cheese as advertised. Not a great choice.
