Polene Bakery and Bistro was created to serve as a hub for artisan food lovers.
Polene’s specialty is quick grab & go food options - sandwiches, breakfast bagels & muffins.
Same as with our sister…
Best sammies in town. Fresh made sourdough, loaded with the most delicious fillings, and is big enough for 2 meals. You can never go wrong with Polene.

Delicious and arguably the best sandwiches in town! It is a bit on the expensive side vs their in store prices, but good, quality food is hard to come by in this city - I just wish they had a Rutland location too...
The herb mayo is the stuff of legends (on both), the Italian is more meat but a more heavy-handed ham deli sandwich, everything ingredient wise is like it came off the truck this morning from the farm, spectacular food sourcing/storage on their part for sure!
The Chicken BLT is otherworldly and I dream about it on a regular basis, it's so damn good, the bacon and chicken are both super flavorful (the chicken has what feels like a light seasoning?) and the bread is high quality too and good soft (unheated) but if you live close enough or get extremely lucky with driver speed/time of day good as it usually comes, toasted/ran through the oven (only the bread is just fyi).
If you're more than 5-7 minutes drive away, I do *strongly* advise asking in instructions for them to NOT heat/run it through the oven which they default do, as while it adds a bit of flavor profile/texture (I've had it miraculously still warm/not soggy twice ever now), the heat will cause the ingredients to condensate a lot which can lead to a very wet/falling apart sandwich by the time it gets to you.
There's not a lot that can be done about this though due to thermodynamics/time for travel and how many drivers stack orders in this town and I thoroughly appreciate the ability to have these delivered across town vs bussing 35 mins each way.

Always fresh and delicious. Everything is made from scratch with love, and you will NEVER leave hungry. Best bread, best sammies in the Okanagan.

Best sandos in town!! The beef and Beef & Pickles is legendary, and the Italian is also amazing. Can't wait to try more of the menu!

sandwich was too wet. loaded with ingredients which made it filling and I didn't mind the taste, but my bread was soaked and ingredients were leaking out everywhere
