Review: The owner of KNB&C has an amazing story. He was a refugee from Vietnam who almost died, he struggled through further hardship once he got to Canada, and now he along with his family run this successful bakery.
You don't see many customers in here, and might think the place would go under. You would be wrong. KNB&C have contracts with hospitals and prepare massive amounts of healthy baked goods including vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free offerings.
I come here to buy freshly made spelt pie shells for my famous vegan spinach & faux chicken quiche. I also get the vegan danish, yum, and the pecan maple cookies, yum.
I've only tried the entrees once, and it wasn't so memorable. They don't look very appetizing (as another reviewer pointed out), but one of these days I will try again.
Pros: cheap * healthy * family owned
Cons: dirty * * |

Review: They have about 14 vegetarian dishes on hand, and all or almost all of them are vegan. I had the "special" - portions of any three dishes, plus a bowl of soup, for $6 including tax. It is hard to find a cheaper meal in Toronto. It is true that the portions are not large, but if you want more food, it looks like you can get individual portions of any dish for $1.75 for 100g. Or pay another $6 to have the special all over again, and you'll still be doing pretty well.
It's not without its drawbacks, though. The food is kept refrigerated and is microwaved for you upon request - and mine ended up not being heated all the way through. And the dishes seem to be a little heavy on the cheap ingredients: Two of my dishes were supposed to contain "sosoya" (a sort of TVP-like fake meat), but I think there was only about one piece of sosoya between them. But even without the sosoya, the food tasted very good - it was all seasoned and cooked just right.
For dessert, we decided to try some of the pastries. A "blueberry square" (a tart-like thing) seemed to be mostly cornstarch, with very little blueberry at all. The apple square was much better.
Pros: inexpensive * tasty food * vegan desserts
Cons: microwaved * cheap ingredients * |
