Serves meat, vegan options available. Could get vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free sandwiches, salads or wraps. Free Wi-Fi. Relocated from 435 King St. Reported closed August 2023.
Cafe Loka is a super cute little cafe in downtown Fredericton. I tend to go more in the summer for the patio and the fact that’s it’s not on the main walking drag so you likely will drive there. I’ve tried a few main dishes and they are always delicious. The breakfast tofu scramble is AMAZING and their desserts are out of this world. Love this space so much, just wish they stayed open a little later and open on Sundays. But no complaints what so ever!
Cafe Loka has always been a forerunner when it comes to healthy and speciality cuisine in Fredericton. Ever since it opened, they've offered vegan, gluten-free and clean-eating options to their patrons.
The location is intimate, and decorated in a way that is very welcoming to the hippie in me. Warm colors, chalkboard menus, and pour-your-own water!
There are only about 5 tables inside- but it's never been too packed when I go. I always find a place to sit.
It unfortunately is not wheelchair accessible- but I'm pretty sure that the staff here would carry you into the restaurant if you asked nicely.
One of the things that sets Cafe Loca apart from other places like it is the incredibly friendly staff.
They can make recommendations, and are always very accommodating when you explain your food allergies or preferences. When it came to recommending a dessert- the chef happily asked if I was vegan or gluten free. When I told him I was vegan he said "Gotta be the black bean brownie, then."
Boy was he right. That was the best vegan brownie I have ever had. HIGHLY recommend.
I also had some hummus and pita that was GREAT.
The person I went with ordered a meal with sausage and informed me that the sausage was some of the best he'd had.
We sat outside, and the chef brought the food right to our table, though we would've been happy to get it ourselves from him inside.
One major negative at this location is the parking. You have to be very cautious when you park your car in this area, because they're boot-happy and quick to tow. That's the only negative I can think of. The prices are great, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the food is great.
Probably the nicest people I've ever interacted with work at Cafe Loka. Since I'm vegan and allergic to gluten and soy, I assumed I wasn't going to be able to get anything. The waiter was really nice, and ended up putting together this crazy good meal I wasn't expecting at all.
I went here for a meeting and I was looking for a place to replace Cedar Tree in my weekly breakfast excursions. I think I may have found it! I got the Vegan Your Morning, an interesting take on the tofu scramble with toast. The toast was amazing? Like I have never mentioned toast in a review before it was that good. The tofu scramble was different than I expected, but good! I also had a soy latte. The coffee wasn't as strong as I like it, but definitely delicious!
