I love this place

This is the first vegetarian/vegan friendly cafe I went to. I love how close it is to my house. The food is very good. I love the quiet environment. They have free WiFi. It is a great place to study too.

Pros: I I live nearby, Friendly staff, Nice Atmosphere

Cons: Kinda expensive

Awesome Veg Cafe!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1st and 2nd experiences at Cafe Pyrus! From out of town visiting, this was a pleasant surprise and new addition to the veg scene since we visited KW last.
Delicious vegan treats!
*not completely vegan, cafe does serve organic dairy as an option, but the focus is definitely vegan.

Pros: Vegan treats/baking/menu options, Great vibe

Cons: No Dinner Menu ... yet?!

A must for awesome vegan lunches and great coffee

The Club is outstanding and most everything can be made gluten free if you ask.

Thus far, the best.

Currently, Cafe Pyrus is the best vegetarian and vegan eatery in KW, with hearty and affordable meals.

Their house-made, vegan, peanut butter cookies are a treat and they have an arrangement of vegan cupcakes made by Fairly Frosted Cupcakes that are also worth more than just a ton of calories.

"the angry vegan" is their best sandwich, because you can add this extra old organic cheddar from a Québec cheese vendor - L'ancêtre.

Also, their feature soups are always delectable and the feature sandwiches are so good that I've always devoured them before thinking of sharing a picture of its awesome-ness with you, HappyCow reader. I will try harder for this, in the future.

T'il then - bon app!

Pros: Vegan cupcakes & local cheese, Kombucha on tap - request a glass cup., monthly art exhibits & music shows

Cons: Napkins are served under the food., Sometimes, they have forgotten my pickle

More than acceptable, less than great

My wife and I had dinner here recently on a Sunday evening. For the most part, we enjoyed our dinners, a veggieburger thingie and a vegan-not-really-cheese quesadilla. However, there wasn't anything really special about them. The desserts, a peanut-butter-and-chocolate scone and a chocolate doughnut, were disappointing. The iced coffee and iced chai were really nice.

Overall, I'd say it's a good alternative to scouring the menu at a general restaurant trying to find vegan or vegetarian options, but it's not worth going out of one's way to eat there.

Impressive coffee but food lacking...

On second visit, was much less impressed. Food very average, at best.

Did notget a chance to eat there but stopped in for coffee and a scone and was very impressed. Nice cozy space with delicious coffee. Scone was solid too! Cant wait to try the weekend brunch!

IMO

Went here for the first time and had a chai shake (made w/ almond milk) and a g-f pb cookie. Both were delicious! Can't wait to go back and try some more of their foods. :) Their prices seem pretty reasonably, too.

Pros: Comfy couches, Knitting nights on Thursdays

BEST!

Vegan food is delicious! They knock themselves out to give you exactly what you need. Will go there as often as possible, great food, friendly, helpful staff, and the coffee, it's simply the best! Atmosphere is creative and changing, family with children friendly, old people friendly, relaxed living room/dining room, artwork new and exciting or occasionally not so great, but fun just the same. Highly recommended from a vegetarian of 35+ years.

Best restrant of all time, not just vegan

This restrant is truely amazing, not only is the atmosphere calming and inviting but absolutely everything (and I mean everything) on the menu is amazing. I have never had a bad experience, th staff is always very kind and friendly. And the coffee is amazing! Fresh brewed and organic, not to mention delicious. I reccomend trying the super shake for sure, and the samoa cookie. As for a main meal, take your choice they always have fresh new specials every day and I am never disappointed. Defiantly take the time to visit this place, I promise it won't be your last

Pros: Excellent food, Great service, Organic & vegan

Cons: Adicting

Sweet place to, as the kids say, chill

High ceilings, couches, Valu Village furniture, board games, local art, grassroots event info all over. I immediately took a liking to this place.

My partner and I had the breakfast bake for $8. It came with bread and jam, tofu scramble with daiya cheese, fruit and two small tempeh sticks. Everything was cold. The scramble was much more veggie than tofu. Cheap tho.

I'd still come back if I lived here.

Yum

I have been meaning to try this place out since it opened. I didn't have time to hang out today but the interior is warm and inviting definitely not the sort of place that'll boot you out if you're hanging out with nothing but a cup of coffee.

I got a peppermint tea which was good but HOLY LIFTIN' was it ever hot, the first sip scorched my tongue and it was only suitable to drink after sitting with the top off for a good while.

I ordered "the grill" sandwich which was great and I'll definitely order again.

Pros: healthy food, served fast, staff are smoking hot

Amazing Raw Mocha

Raw mocha may not be an entirely accurate name as the coffee is still from roasted beans and the soy milk (or milk or almond) was still steamed; but the chocolate, oh the chocolate, made from ground cocoa, coconut cream, raw sugar---yummy. it did take forever to make and it wasn't on menu the next time I went; if you go make sure you ask for the RAW mocha, because they have a normal good, but average. Food seems a bit pricey, I have yet to try it.
