10-year downtown Kelowna coffee shop, Bliss Bakery, closes due to economic pressures and challenging environment.

Bliss Bakery, a downtown Kelowna coffee shop, is set to close after 10 years.

The coffee shop is located at the corner of Ellis Street and Cawston Avenue and will be shutting its doors soon.
