Komorebi Cafe and Healing Art Studio - Kelowna, British Columbia

The atmosphere is unmatched--so peaceful, full of impressively sprawling plants, musical instruments, and even a cute reading room with kids activities and books.

All the staff have been so kind and knowledgeable and pay close attention to preparing the matcha to the very best of their abilities.

If you want a fast to-go drink, don't come--it is intentionally slower paced, and you can't rush the quality. Also have fun snacks and merchandise you can buy along with your drink. A bit on the pricier end but worth it for sure.

A bit dangerous this place is so close to where I live though!

Kudos to the owner/manager for creating such a warm and beautiful environment. The space is small, but the back room is even more charming than the front. It has a cozy feel and a few items for kids. I especially appreciated the little details for little people, like a kid-sized chair, toys and books and a stool. It’s always nice to see places that make an effort to include families.
The aesthetic is very Japanese, filled with handcrafted decorations and small items for sale that add to the overall charm.
Ordering drinks can feel a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with the options. Since everything is prepared by hand by one person, the wait is a bit longer than you might expect. I don’t remember exactly what I had, but it tasted like matcha, which I probably wouldn’t miss lol
Still, I’ll return because I really loved the vibe.

So happy this lovely cafe opened in my neighbourhood in Kelowna! I've tried a few different drinks from their extensive menu and enjoyed all of them. I'd say it's even better than some matcha cafes I've been to in Vancouver! The owner and staff are very friendly and patient too. I love everything about the space, and look forward to my next visit!

It’s hard to express how beautiful this little spot is. Easily my new favourite spot in Kelowna, and I will return every time I visit.

You are enveloped in a space that seems like a little garden with pothos profusely growing everywhere. In fact, the whole vibe to me is a feeling of growth with little bits of greenery propagating everywhere.

There is a reading room that is pure magic. One could get lost with a book. It’s not a place like Starbucks to just come with your laptop and spend the day, nothing so uncouth. It’s intentional and introspective, respectful and quiet.. more meditative.

Our matcha was prepared with care and mastery. It was a thing of beauty and was so delicious. We all enjoyed baked goods.. and they were delicious.

The owner has created a place of beauty, and has so beautifully curated this space. she is so kind. A place to support with a weekly matcha and cookie.

Best place EVER!! I never really do reviews on places unless they’re absolutely amazing and I have to say that this place blew me away. Had amazing matcha. Best I’ve ever had and I am a huge matcha person. The service was amazing. Will definitely become regulars

We loved visiting Komorebi Cafe! Women-run and the first Japanese cafe in the area. The matcha was so good — as soon as we left, I already was wanting to go back for another.

The cafe itself is very cozy, decorated with plants. The owner was warm and welcoming and her concept of community is something we need more of.

What a gorgeous little oasis right downtown. The owner is so welcoming and passionate about her craft, and she happily explained the menu (and they have gluten free treats from Big Fat Lion!)
I ordered the Komorebi matcha latte and will absolutely be coming back to try the others - easily the best matcha I’ve ever had.

Komorebi is such a hidden gem. It’s Kelowna’s first authentic Japanese café and they’ve absolutely nailed it. I had the strawberry matcha and honestly, it was the best matcha I’ve ever had. So smooth, not too sweet, and just really well balanced. The space itself is beautiful and calming, you can tell a lot of care went into every detail. I’ll definitely be back to try more. Posting a photo because it looked just as good as it tasted.
