OK service and Food and a bit pricey

A celebration event and family surprised us to this previously untried restaurant. Of the two staff on duty none of them acknowledged our presence even though they were few feeta away from and us and were not attending a customer. Took a good while to make us sit in a half empty restaurant.
The food came pretty quickly and service was just OK after that. The interior is nice.

The coffee we started was very weak and lukewarm warm. We asked for a refill and the refill was the same as well.

Hollandaise Benny was good, the Just egg perhaps cooked from the frozen ready was good. The Impossible/Beyond Sausage was good. The Hollandaise sauce was well made. Disappointed with the home fries quantity - very few.

The Chik’n Burger made from Oyster Mushroom was very good. Crunchy outside and shredded mushroom to give a chicken texture. Just too greasy for us. Again the fries very few - the plate looks empty and not filling for us. IMO not good enough value for almost $25 all in.

The Chik’n and Waffles, same Chik’n as the burger good. The 3 piece (?) waffles were great. The fries still less, however there some salad as well.

Good restaurant, OK service. Food is OK, a bit pricey for what we got.

Cons: Pricey , Service was meh

Nice experience

First of all, this restaurant has a built in service charge and higher prices because they claim to pay a living wage to their employees. You can tip but it’s not expected. So don’t be put off by the ‘higher’ prices on the menu.

The food was good- not great. I’m a bit wary of nice vegan restaurants that use products like Beyond Meat or Impossible meat. It shows lack of creativity and inability to create unique meat substitutes that I can’t make at home. I had an Alfredo pasta with beyond meat sausage. It was ok, I could have made the same at home. Wife had a mushroom truffle pizza which was delicious. Appetizer was baked nachos which was quite good.

Decor is nice. Location is great and I really like that the business pays a living wage and there is no expectation of a tip. I’ll try again but will avoid the dishes that look like I can make at home

Pros: Business pays employees living wage, Nice decor, Spacious

Cons: The meat substitutes are boring

Food was mediocre

We enjoyed the nacho appetizer that we shared. It is a very large portion and could be enough for four to share. However, both of our meals were less than enticing.

I took one bite of the Mac and Cheese and could not take another one. My husband ordered the mushroom risotto and ate about half. He didn’t even want to take the rest home. We asked about the soup of the day and we’re told it’s too hot outside so no one would be ordering it, but my husband’s meal was served so hot he could barely eat it.

The staff did not once ask us how our meals were. Most restaurants, if they see you are not eating will ask if there is a problem. Some will even offer to bring you something else. It seemed like we were deliberately being ignored and the takeaway is that neither of us enjoyed the food and the service was truly lacking.

It is also expensive, especially because of the integrated tips. I do not recommend and we will certainly not return.

Pros: It’s in a nice area of Oakville

Cons: Service, Food, Expensive

Cute place with lots of items made from scratch

Really enjoyed this all-vegan find in Oakville! The aesthetic was nice and overall it had a great atmosphere. Lots of fun options to choose from! Portion sizes are great, too.

Would definitely go back again😄

Loved the vibe. The food was delicious. Menu is huge! Great music, nice people, pretty place. Like the commitment to community and dedication to staff making a living wage. Will visit again (hopefully soon)!

Pretty good

Update: Tried this restaurant several times since our first visit. It’s close to where my parents live so I’d really like to like it. However their savoury food is always meh. Tried the butter tofu which had good flavour but the rice wasn’t cooked and it only came with 5 pieces of tofu. Definitely don’t order through DoorDash either. Food is always cold.

We do really like their cake though and have ordered a couple times for big family birthdays. It’s super expensive but very delicious. You can definitely order down a size. A cake that’s advertised for 6-8 people will easily feed 10


We went for brunch and got take out for later. My husband got the eggs Benedict and I got pancakes. Pancakes are definitely of the “healthy” variety and not my fav. My husband liked his. got the Alfredo and the Mac n cheese to go. Both were pretty good. I’d like to try their desserts but not sure I’d get these meals again.

Great find in Oakville

Really nice restaurant with a good menu. I’d definitely go back. Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the food was a bit too oily for my taste. The soup came with fried bread and the salad (green goddess) had a really oily dressing. In hindsight I should have asked for the dressing on the side. But overall a great place with friendly serving staff and a nice vibe.

Pros: Great menu - lots of choice , Nice ambience, Soup was awesome

Cons: Bit too much dressing on the salad for my liking., Only one waiting staff over a busy lunch time

Big disappointment

I was really hyped aboyt the place since I saw good reviews. But in turns out to be really bad. The food was bad, I called risoto (very salty) and nachos (fine). The hibiscus lemonade was sour and the dream something was just like water with a bit of mango and coconut flavor. And I got charged for almost like 100 bucks.

Cons: Expensive, Mediocre food, There is services fee + tips

The in-laws loved it

Visited here after my husband’s parents reserved us a table. All we could say was, ‘WOW!’ My meat-eating in-laws we’re blown away and vowed to make it a regular spot to go to. It was wildly delicious, and we sampled what felt like half the menu (but that was certainly not, as they have a HUGE offering)! Of course, everything was incredible, loaded with all kinds of unique ingredients and dishes that you don’t find often… even the classic burger and wrap were done in a way that had a funky, community signature style to it. You can tell a lot of thought and skill goes into building each menu item, and you can guarantee it’ll be high-quality, top tier. Funky spot, easy to fall in love with, regardless of dietary needs or interests!

Pros: Funky, Huge menu, unique twists on dishes , Big time flavour, not your average vegan joint

Cons: Bit pricey

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Best mac'n'cheese EVER but their Butter Tofu steals the show!!! Give it at 15 outta 10 stars...what a find this restaurant is. Taste incredible, got take out and even then, presentation outstanding and portion sizes over the top...got 2 meals outta 1 .... Cant wait to try other menu options. Oakville 45 min driver me but totally worth it.

Pros: incredible taste, extensive menu

Cons: one staff member a little surly , pricing seemed a trifle high but portion size exed

It’s just ok

I was pretty excited to try this place based on their Instagram photos and the rave reviews. The staff was lovely and the restaurant had a great atmosphere but I found the food to be just ok. Perhaps I had my expectations too high but I was not really blown away by anything; it was all fine but not anything memorable or great. We tried the butter tofu, chick’n Caesar wrap followed by the death by chocolate cake and rolo cake. I was truly looking forward to the cakes (love a good cake!) but they fell in to the same trap that I find most restaurant/ bakery vegan cakes do: sickeningly sweet!
I would love to give them more stars especially for a full vegan restaurant but I think there is better out there.

Pros: Fully vegan , Great atmosphere , Friendly staff

Cons: Expensive , Food was mediocre, Desserts too sweet

Unbelievable!

Everything was spectacular about my visit - the ambiance, the menu variety, the staff/service, and the FOOD - all I can say is WOW and I'll be back soon with all my vegan and non-vegan friends. This place will convert them :)

Pros: Menu is lengthy with lots of options, Serving sizes won't leave you hungry, Friendly and knowledgeable staff

Lovely Place

I am in love with this restaurant and would be a big time regular if I lived closer. The food is some of the freshest I’ve ever had. Interesting dishes you can’t find at other vegan places, the owner is incredible and so accommodating, friendly, had great stories about her travels and made suggestions on what to try in which we tried everything. Staff is super sweet as well. Atmosphere is very cool and clean. Cheesecake was so good I stuffed down 3 pieces. I can’t recommend this place enough!!!!

Best vegan spot ever

I went with 5 other vegans and we all loved the food and the wonderful staff.

We shared the lentil pancake, buffalo cauliflower and parsnip soup as appetizers; then people individually ordered tofu curry, veggie chicken wrap, Mac and cheese, crab cake sandwich, and another dish that I can’t remember — and everyone happily devoured their food!

For me, I accidentally forgot to order dressing on the side, and was given a whole new macro salad with tempeh, free of charge — they even deconstructed it for me so I could construct it myself with the perfect ratios.

The server also taught us how to take the best food pics for Instagram, and took a several excellent group photos of us at the end.

It was my birthday so they sang happy birthday and gave me a free chocolate heart (it was so decadent!)

Community restaurant is a wonderful place! Definitely coming back 💖🙏☺️

Dishes look good but are salt havens

We visited this restaurant because of its prominent social media and how good all the dishes were. We ordered 6 dishes off the menu for sharing and found that all of the dishes we ordered were heavy on salt and lacking taste aside from that. My friend who ordered the green gnocchi was feeling awful afterwards.

I gave two stars because at least the place is Instagram worthy. The service was extremely slow... even for the pandemic. Other restaurants are much quicker in all areas.

Pros: aesthetic dishes, nice vibe

Cons: service speed, salty dishes, flavour

Tasty but overpriced

I ordered the Caesar salad. It was very good but $14 is a lot to pay for a salad. I would like to visit this restaurant regularly but I can’t afford it.

Pros: Delicious

Cons: Expensive
