Wonderful vegan menu - Edit
Came here in the morning, and just for breakfast they had a lot of vegan options. I ended up having scrambled tofu (the dish was called Vegan Goodness) which was divine.

Big portions, fresh fruit - Edit
Always love going to this place! It’s a little shop tucked away in the mall, but once you find it you’ll have a wide range of breakfast options that are vegan or can be made vegan. #Veganuary

Absolutely worth it for vegan breakfast - Edit
This place has an amazing selection of savory vegan breakfasts, and waffles, pancakes, and crepes if you would like a sweet option. Portions are generous and delicious. The owner is a gem and makes the experience.
Read moreIt's located in the food court at the corner of Dundas and McCaul, so make sure you go into the shopping centre, no outside entrance.

Great place for vegan waffles, pancakes, crepes and French toast. Also other vegan bits like tofu eggs beni. Located inside a food hall, order your food and sit anywhere. Amazing!

Lovely vegan brunch! - Edit
Wish I could give 5 stars! So many yummy options, I could hardly choose. I ended up getting the vegan tofu beni. The tomatoey tofu was so savoury and delicious! Loved all the sliced fruits and the option to add fresh minced garlic to my fries.
Read moreI met the sweet lady everyone here keeps mentioning. She really makes you feel taken care of, and simply radiates enthusiasm. I couldn’t help but leave with a smile on my face!
I’ll be back for the crepes 😊
Pros: Lots of vegan options including desserts, Wholesome food, Friendliest service ever!
Cons: Grungy food court atmosphere

Lovely food and even lovelier people - Edit
I wish I was allowed to rate this place 5 stars. The food was fantastic and the little lovely lady that helped us just made the whole experience.
Read moreIf I was to nitpick on one thing it’d be that the bread used for the French toast didn’t work very well but the pancakes were out of this world.

Moreish brunch - Edit
Loved the huge vegan menu, all the vegan baked goods, and the incredible service from this non-pretentious food court joint. The staff remembered my name when I came back for another coffee. Will definitely be back!

Great food for a great price! - Edit
Food was not only delicious, but very affordable😄You get an entire plate of food that can be made vegan, vegetarian or meat/eggs. I ordered the Vegan Supreme breakfast plate. It had pancakes, pesto tofu, roasted veggies, salad, garlic fries and assorted fruit! We were both incredibly satisfied with the entire experience. The staff was lovely and the service was fast.
Read moreThe stand is located inside of a mall, so we had to search for it, however it was right inside the front door😄

A hidden gem - Edit
We stumbled across Karine’s in our travels around the city. It’s in a basement food hall for OCAD. The owner is a delightful woman who clearly takes great pride in her dishes. Both of our dishes came with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.

Great! - Edit
The owner is so friendly and and enthusiastic! Lots of vegan options, but I chose tofu bennie on her recommendation. It was very good, but I think I would have preferred one of the other options now that I see the pics. What I had was delicious and presented beautifully, but I’d like to go back to try some of the other dishes that might be more filling for me.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options , Decent portions, Friendly staff
Cons: Can be expensive depending what you get , In a food court (maybe not best atmosphere), They use paper plates/ plastic cutlery

We didn't get to try the food - Edit
They open at 9am. We didn't get to try the food, because the whole food hall was closed down and only Karine's and McDonald has open, so we didn't want to sit there. Not a very nice place to eat, it was very dark and not very cozy.
Read moreCons: Creepy food hall, Everything else was closed

Hidden Gem - Edit
This place is a hidden gem, quite literally. I had a difficult time finding it and walked past the building twice. It’s located inside a building in their food court.
Read moreThe service was very friendly and very quick. The food was good but I found it expensive for what I received. Would definitely recommend as there was many vegan options and all around it was a good experience.
Pros: Friendly Service, Fast , Many vegan options
Cons: Hard to find , Not fully vegan , Expensive

Excellent breakfasts! - Edit
The pesto tofu vegan benny was awesome! Very filling. Plate came with a variety of fresh fruit and homemade fries. The tofu benny was not a typical Benedict, but came with a tomato sauce - which was quite tasty! My only complaint is the benny was cold, but that may be how it usually is served at this place. Great service though!
Read moreThe restaurant is actually inside a complex across from the OCAD where there is a food court. Seating is in the food court.
Pros: Lots of options, Fresh , Healthy

I love this spot - Edit
If HappyCow let me give this place 5 stars, I would!! Their vegan brunches are a great blend of sweet and savoury foods and I never feel like I'm missing out on anything for ordering vegan. My favourite is their vegan supreme with tofu pesto!! Also, their service is always great and they are always friendly and helpful despite being a busy spot!!

a great breakfast that happens to be in a food court - Edit
I enjoyed the food greatly, and like how most things some with fruit. I ordered the vegan French toast and was surprised by the way it looked, but it was very good and the fruit was super fresh. The people are nice and the service is fast. It is kinda hidden because it’s in a sorta food court, but I think it’s worth it. Especially great for eating with non vegans.
Read morePros: Has entire vegan menu, Friendly people , Good tasting food
Cons: It’s in a food court, Kinda hard to find at first

Awesome Vegan Breakfast! - Edit
4 stars because HappyCow doesn’t allow 5 for non-fully-vegan places. Waffles one day, back for pancakes the next - both fabulous!
