“Such a cute spot for brunch! Lovely food and presentation. I started with a tequila Caesar and it was so good! I opted for the mushroom and loved it. The crispy oyster mushrooms were so tasty and I loved the sauces. Pricier than expected ($23) but the flavors were on point.“
“Love this place! If you weren't aware, ahead of time, that it was vegan, you'd never know. Just letting you non-vegans know this, so you're not scared away. :-)I had a latte and the soup/sourdough special. OMG, the bread was amazing! I was savoring the taste an hour later. Soup and latte were excellent, too.I don't know the name of the music, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I have one complaint, it's that it feels, as mentioned by a previous reviewer, a little like an office lunch room. It is not the most welcoming environment. That said, though, I will definitely be back. So nice to have a complete vegan coffee shop.“
“Delicious vegan treats!My boyfriend and I ordered the banana bread, which was delicious and affordable priced. It is made with olive oil and vegan butter. You really can’t taste the difference from non vegan pastries. Only $4 too for a big and moist slice. He also had the mocha which he enjoyed. So many delicious pastries - savoury and non-savoury. Cake options too.Love the airy space (even though it was a bit small) and alternative milk options. It was calm and relaxing to sit there and enjoy the treats.Erin was super friendly when I introduced myself as a fan, having followed her Instagram and been anticipating trying her bakery. She kindly gave us 2 free pieces of spanakopita to try, fresh from the oven.I will definitely be back and will tell my plant-based and non-plant-based friends about this cafe!“
“What a great little place with vibrant decor and friendly staff. The Cafe de olla was delish. We also ordered the huevos divorciado and the pizole soup. I found the soup a bit of a small portion but both dishes were very tasty. I bought some blackberry tamales to go and had them later that day. They were ???“
“One of the best vegan restaurants in town. The Arburger is hands down tastiest vegetarian burger I’ve ever had. Will definitely be ordering that again if it shows up elsewhere. The deep fried Halloumi is a veggie version of fish n chips, and it was good but it didn’t quite get there… The poutine was very nice, and the ketchup seemed homemade and also very nice according to my boyfriend who is a ketchup freak… They have a back patio, very comfortable space with those tower heaters on. Overall it’s worth trying and may change your views on veganism.“
“I've been here at least half a dozen times and enjoy it every time. I'm not a vegan but really enjoy their food! My favorites are the khoe bowl, shroom bao, and the don't miss the mango dessert! Definitely recommend for vegans or not vegans.“
“As a lactose intolerant human, this place is a dream come true! Safe for the stomach! Ordered the pepperoni with hot honey and it was very good. Sauce is not too acidic. Vegan cheese and pepperoni are great alternatives. Only thing I wish is that the crust was a bit more crispy, but that’s more of a personal preference.“
“Definitely Do Chay! This was my third time here and I will return again and again. The vegetarian cuisine is shockingly delicious and will have your most devout meat eaters worshipping plants. The food is not only delicious but beautiful and thoughtful. The owners and service team are always warm and welcoming - this is a Vancouver gem. Top marks for: Truffle Dumplings (I want to swim in the sauce) and Black Garlic Eggplant.“
“I recently returned to visit this location and everything is as great as I remembered. Come back several times to try out different dishes. Bring your friends and try their food too:) everything is delicious!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan, and the meat lovers won’t miss it!“
“I picked up a kimchi grilled cheese and carrot ginger soup lunch and both were delicious. The fridge section of salads and sandwiches looks good, I will have to try some more. They have a selection of ramen and other lunch dishes (all vegetarian) and hot drinks. My only negative was all the windows and doors were open and it was 5 degrees. The chairs were a little cold on the bum.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options. It is a vegetarian restaurant after all.Parking: Sometimes hard to find a parking spot nearby.“
“Level V is partnered with and shares a cafe space with Whisk Matcha, and from the perspective of a customer visiting the cafe, they basically function as one business since you order everything from the same counter. I have left a detailed review of the whole cafe on the location entry for Whisk, so here I'll just go over what the bakery offers. I am working my way through their offerings and think I've tried a pretty representative sample of what they serve, but there's always a wide selection available at the cafe and they're always whipping up new things, so I think I'd have to be eating their stuff every day if I really wanted to be able to try everything!I think that the objective best thing you can get here are either cookies OR come after they open and try a bun. Any bun. They are always fresh in the morning, and the slightly sweet yeast dough is so soft and tender. They rotate through various sweet and savoury fillings. The ube mochi bun that I think is fixed in the rotation is very good; one of my favourite seasonal offerings was the salted "yolk" bun, where the vegan salted yolk filling was actually made from squash. I like that they have some veganized versions of common Asian pastries that usually contain meat so that I can try these flavours. Most of the meat substitutes are not processed imitation products but creative culinary replacements. Even if you eat meat, if you have an open mind, I would still recommend these savoury buns if you want to try something different.The cookies are similarly very soft, not too sweet. These hold up their freshness better throughout the day so you don't have to come right at opening to enjoy them at their peak (the buns are also great at any time of day, but I do notice a difference between when they're just a few hours out of the oven vs later in the afternoon). They have staple flavours and rotating seasonals which are all interesting flavours (the staple matcha mochi cookie is heavenly).They have a few twice-baked croissants: matcha and almond. If you like really buttery, gooey croissants, these might not be for you, because they're a little crunchier than typical croissants and don't have that buttery sheen. I personally don't miss the butteriness and prefer this version, which doesn't leave me feeling like my face is oily after eating it. They're almost closer to a bread dough than pastry. The matcha version has a powerful dusting of matcha and a delicious matcha custard inside.They sell whole cakes, which can be preordered from their website or grabbed as a walk-in (they have a few available for walk-ins every day), and usually there will be something available by the slice. I tried a slice of pistachio cake and really enjoyed the moist crumb and smooth "buttercream" frosting. The cake was a little dense but I didn't mind it at all. I definitely want to try more of their cake after trying this one.They have various other desserts that come and go: lots of cupcakes in fun flavours, macarons, sometimes vegan cheesecake, sometimes bars, sometimes tiramisu. I haven't been disappointed with anything so far. Some are gluten-free. The desserts don't always taste exactly like their non-vegan or non-GF counterparts, but are always delicious in their own way.“
“I've lived in the neighborhood for 8 years now and I am sad I haven't shopped here until now! Surprisingly low prices on unique items, all the produce looks delectable and health-forward products. Reminds me of August market, rip, but with a much wider selection.“
“This was not just the best vegan meal we've ever had, it was one of the best restaurant meals my wife and I have ever eaten at all. The gnocchi was absolutely perfect. I wouldn't have changed a thing, not even to swap the vegan cheese for dairy cheese (and that's not something I ever thought I would say). My wife felt the same way about her burger. Our home city is a pretty good place for vegan dining and we've never had anything as good as this there.Dietary restrictions: Everything on the menu is completely vegan.“
“I moved to Vancouver last June, and can safely say this has been my favourite restaurant experience so far. The service was fantastic, everything arrived to our table in a timely manner & the food was nothing short of excellent. Me and my girlfriend still smile about our experience here! Cannot wait to come back, highly recommend the Baklava & Gelato for dessert!Dietary restrictions: Entirely Vegan!“
“Vegetarian options: It's a vegetarian restaurant with a good number of vegan options. All done in the style of Chinese Buddhist Vegetarian/Vegan foods. Many vegetarian dishes are also vegan n plenty of Chinese/Asian places will call something vegetarian when it's vegan as well. It's a good idea to clarify the difference if one is a strict vegan.Parking: To get neighbourhood free parking, it is necessary to park a few blocks away. Not a issue for me or most people I'm with.Wheelchair accessibility: The only issue is that the front door doesn't have an automatic door opener otherwise it's all good ???“
“Great pizza. I'm picky about what pizza I eat because most pizza comes with pork on it, and I don't eat pork. The staff here reassured me that they don't serve pork at this restaurant. So I got the chicken and mushroom pizza and the pepperoni and cheese made with beef pepperoni. Both were delicious, and I enjoyed both slices. This is a great place to grab some pizza if your in the area.Dietary restrictions: If you don't eat pork, this is the best place to buy pizza.“
“Everything was really great! Poutine and chick'un strips were amazing and I would go back for those anytime I wanted some. Pocket samosas were excellent as well. Service was super friendly and we had a nice chat with them. Highly recommend to anyone vegan or not.“
“They don't speak English very well here, it's best to order by number. My go-to order is always the spicy noodle soup, the number 4 Bahmi and fresh veggie roll. These are absolutely delicious and a must try! The spicy noodle soup is very flavorful, and not too spicy. The number 4 Sandwich is delicious, I normally ask for more mayo. And the fresh veggie salad rolls is one of the best, they put some crunchy things inside and it's just so refreshing. I highly recommend these!“
“Yummy vegan puddings as advertised. Not too sweet and the texture is reminiscent of Flanby (a French childhood dessert at the canteen haha)! I had the soy chocolate and I really enjoyed the pudding itself more than the sauce on top. Lovely service and lots of options! Wish the portion was a tiny bit larger!“
“Food: All very clean, but lacked the depth of flavour of Indian food I am used to. But many options and I enjoyed the clean eating!Seating: chairs and tables comfortably sizedOutlet: unfortunately didn’t look for properly, but i didn’t see any by the red tables“
“I felt this is the best authentic Rajasthani food you can eat in Canada and infact I didn’t come across this type of food in most of usa either (I only lived and travelled in 18 major cities). The food quality is amazing. The portions are great and price is on higher end but definitely worth the food. Don’t shy away to ask more on the options they have. Place is bit small but serves the purpose and can be reserved ahead. They explain the food and how to eat if you are new to cuisine. Definitely a great place to hit the food in Vancouver BC.“
“This has been me and my husband's favorite place for about 9 years now. All vegetarian options can be made vegan and the most flavorful, fulfilling and satisfying flavors in a burrito you will ever get. I'm vegetarian leaning towards vegan but my husband is an absolute carnivore and he was the one who showed me this place and now it's our spot. Over the years they have also made the atmosphere more cozy and warm and it's just a cool vibe overall. It's honestly one of the best kept secrets and I really wanna keep it that way. I always get the Blaire Stanley made vegan and my husband gets the Johnny O (make sure to ask for a side of their sauces, the chili oil and Verde sauce are the best IMO ?). I also love that they give you options of tortilla, beans, Lettuce and sauces. i cant say enough good things, I LOVE LOVE LOVE BUDGIES and it will always be my favorite burrito place over all the places. Everyone we bring loves it too vegetarian and meat eaters alike!“
“There are many reasons for chosen a vegan restaurants. Ours was one of health and allergies. We are trying to eat healthy, and the right vegan restaurant can deliver a satisfying meal while allowing us to walk away without digestion discomfort. The Chickpea menu was confusing to begin with, it took us a while to understand how to choose something. I saw pictures of the crispy breaded tofu online and really wanted to order that. But I found out this particular option incorporates garlic. I also saw a platter delivered that looked attractive, but then I came to my senses – we came here because we wanted to eat healthy – and the platter I saw looked piled high with deep fried food! So, at the last minute, I chose what I am supposed to eat, salad with some sort of protein (yes, boring, I know). To go with the salad, I had to choose a Main, but there were only four items of Main without garlic, since I didn't want butternut squash, or eggplant, and some other vegetable, I was left of Calamachick, which thankfully, has a gluten-free batter. My better half chose poached egg on home fries with avocado. My salad bowl was quite huge. The oyster mushrooms were not chewy. To my surprise, I was able to finish the bowl of salad and only left one calamachick – and I didn't feel the bloated fullness that I would normally feel when eating non-vegan food. So, we ordered their secret recipe carrot cake with whipped coconut cream to celebrate. The vegan poached egg was quite amazing. It looked and tasted like a real poached egg with runny yolk. Their menu is extremely creative and full of items I'd like to discover, and much more interesting that another vegan restaurant north of them. Needly to say, WE WVILL BE BACK, but with caution simply because there are so many menu items that are deep fried. If we are really serious about eating healthy, we wouldn't be able to come very often because all of the items that attract me are deep fried!“
“As an animal rights activist, I’m glad to see a restaurant serving all vegan food (AND ORGANIC!) My favourite menu items are the walnut miso roll and house salad with miso ginger dressing. Healthy and delicious! This is also my “go to” place for unique gifts. Check out the selection of dried powdered medicinal plants ethically sourced from around the world… i’ve never seen these items anywhere else before and so love adding them to my smoothies“
“Best vegetarian dim sum in Vancouver on Kingsway! All the food is great and so is the service! I must say that I prefer going on a week day rather than the weekend as there's usually a line up on the weekendVegetarian options: All vegetarian!!!“
“I don’t come here often enough but i really should! Because not only are the smoothies and food on point, the staff always make you feel like you are right at home! Cami and Carly (with the best hair braids) made my day yesterday and I watched them hustle through what seemed like endless smoothie orders. And this morning as I came back to grab a coffee before my hike! I see them back at it again. These girls know how to hustle and still keep a smile on the whole time! Never lose the soul and spirit you both have!! Thanks again for making my day!“
“Food was great! We had the buffalo cauliflower bowl, tofu breakfast wrap, 2 smoothies and all were excellent. The customer service was also great. They were friendly and helpful with choosing what to order. Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Everything is veganDietary restrictions: Vegan friendly“

“I love this place! I love the different pizza options and everything else on the menu. I've tried a few of the different pizzas and on Saturday I tried their buffet for the first time which was great. No complaints about the food or service. I can't recommend this place enough.“
“This is some of the best vegan pizza I’ve ever had. It’s a small, no-frills place but the owner is friendly and helpful. I ordered the Mediterranean and he clearly sautéed (or otherwise cooked) all the veggies after I ordered and it was ready exactly when he predicted. He seems to do magic with the crust—it’s thin but soft and buttery. And the pizza was piled high with toppings. The place seems designed for takeout and pickup, but there are a couple of places to sit inside if you need to, and the tables were clean. I’m only in Vancouver for a week but I hope to make it back to this place to try another pizza before I leave. Would definitely recommend. I spent about $25-30 on a medium pizza and ate 3 meals out of it.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options available for non vegans.Dietary restrictions: Lots of vegan optionsParking: Street parking“
“I go to north van once in a blue moon, but every time I go, Buddha-Full is a must go place for me and my gf! We are both vegan and It's pretty tough now to find vegan + organic + gluten free restaurants. The food and smoothies are delicious!!! It's a little pricy but it's so worth it!!! Keep up the good vibes Buddha-Ful!“
“I've been going here for years, and I hafta say, they make some of the best pizzas in Burnaby. There are many unique flavors, and they do not disappoint. Their prices are INCREDIBLY reasonable, considering the size of the pizzas, and the uprise of inflation.“
