Blenz Coffee house, Kelowna
I visited the Blenz coffee house on Bernard Street in Kelowna this past week. I have been to this cafe a few times before and have really liked it. I have found it to be a good alternative to the Starbucks one block up on the same street. Although its a franchise, and I would anyday prefer to visit a locally owend cafe rather than a franchise, I find this particular coffee shop a good choice. Firstly, it is a Canadian company (Go Canuks!), and secondly its new and doesnt have the crazy hype that Starbucks has associated to its name.
So this particular visit, I happened to go there with a baby in a large stroller, and 4 other persons, one of whom was in a wheel chair. Despite our crowd, we found a perfect spot in the coffee shop where we could all sit together and have a pleasant time. There was lots of space for the wheelchair as well as the baby stroller, and we managed to find chairs to pull up to the two leather armchairs.
The only few drawbacks are, this place didnt have a baby change station so I had to get help and change my baby on the sink in the bathroom, not very convenient or hygenic, and secondly the drinks, although very tastely are very pricey, pretty much comparable to Starbucks.
But if you are willing to pay a good price for a drink, dont have a baby to change and are looking for a nice ambience, I would recommend you visit Blenz coffee house.
