Loved it! - Edit
Great little eclectic feeling cafe. It's run by a 3 generation family. Grandma, daughter and granddaughter. They are very sweet and their food is delicious. I got a tomato vegetable soup, bagel sandwich and a creamsicle float. It was all very yummy! Duncan garage is a nice kinda veg place across the street. But this place is fully vegan and they run their business with so much love. Def going back as much as possible!

Best vegan cinnamon buns!! - Edit
We visited june 2017 and had the best vegan cinnamon buns we've ever tasted! The iced caramel macchiato was also very very good! Its a small family vegan bakery and is definitely worth a visit
Pros: Very friendly staff, Incredible food, Good atmosphere
Cons: Some items had dairy milk, vegan options available

Tasty! - Edit
Cafe La Vie is a very welcome new addition to the growing vegan scene in Duncan. The mother-daughter owners of this place make almost everything from scratch from fresh natural ingredients, and they really know what they're doing in the kitchen! The meals are satisfying and hearty with rich, complex flavours. They offer a nice selection of creative wraps, sandwiches and soups, daily specials, and homemade baked goods. I ordered the chickpea "egg" salad sandwich which is made with their homemade vegan mayo, with the delightfully unexpected addition of dried cranberries. My partner had a bean chili wrap and, though he's a man of few words, I can tell he appreciated how fresh and natural the food was while still being full of flavour and satisfying. The strawberry-pear crumble that we shared for dessert was a real treat and came with yummy whipped coconut cream. We had a nice chat with the super-friendly owners and as we talked they let us try samples of their bbq jackfruit, their peanut sauce, and their crunchy-chewy vegan bacon. We can't wait to go back for more, and we highly recommend this place for vegans and nonvegans alike!
Pros: Excellent, creative, home-made food, Great location in Duncan's quaint historic downtow, Very friendly and welcoming owners and pleasant at
Cons: Hopefully in the future they'll be open for dinner
