• Great new cosy location!

This Copper Branch place is pretty new, so I had to plan my visit there to have a look at the neighbourhood and the place itself. First of all, the interior design is marvellous - very spacious, lots of light, stylish, cosy, clean, and speaks "Copper Branch" to me. So far it seems to be even better than the Bishop location. I came during busy lunch time, yet I still had a place to seat. The staff were friendly, even after my French failed me. (Yes, I try my best.) As for food, I have pretty much tried everything on the menu before. I may be biased, but I like a lot of stuff that this fast casual restaurant has to offer since it is vegan and healthy. (Nothing on the menu is fried, even the poutine.) This time, I got Aztec bowl with quinoa and shiitake teriyaki with a bottle of fresh juice for dine-in. The portion was big (really filling). Aztec bowl is a good dish by itself because it has many interesting ingredients like guac and vegan sour cream, salsa, chips, two types of beans, sweet potato and so on. Shiitake teriyaki was flavourful and is my favourite protein at Copper Branch after smoked tempeh because of its texture. The juice was good too. Later I spent my afternoon studying for my exams in the cafe. They have wi-fi and cosy atmosphere, so why not. Overall, I was very satisfied with my trip to the new "branch", and I would definitely visit this location more since I find the entire Mont-Royal area pleasant for walking.
