A little expensive, but the food is delicious! - Edit
It is a small location located near downtown Burlington. You order at the counter and then pick your seat, they will serve you your food.

I need to try the avocado fries (which are baked) next time. They look amazing!
Pros: Comfort Food, Good portion size
Cons: Small location, Can be a tad expensive

Always Great Food - Edit
Been to Lettuce Love twice and have had delicious vegan meals. The drive from Toronto is a bit much so made it our stop after exploration. It's quite cozy with patio seating during the summer.There's a juice bar attached to the restaurant also. They are quite flexible with substitutions.
Read moreStaff are lovely & they've got a rewards programme too. My only con is the portion sizes are small for what it's worth.

Pretty solid options - Edit
I had a Reuben sandwich, the caesar salad and a black bean brownie.
Read moreThe fact everything is vegan and gluten free is just amazing!
The Reuben was stellar, really fantastic. The caesar salad was OK, I didn't think the dressing was very special but it was a good portion and fresh lettuce. The brownie was OK, I would have liked a bit deeper rich chocolate but appreciated it wasn't overly sweet.

Healthy casual plant-based eating - Edit
My experience at this place was overall great. The staff are friendly and the café itself is quite cute. It’s definitely more of a casual lunch place though so don’t expect anything too fancy.
Read moreThe food was generally good, but could use some improvements. I ordered a Power Bowl and while the taste was good, I found that the kale was not chopped thoroughly. I also got a Power Oat Cookie smoothie (made in collaboration with HEAL Wellness just next door) and it tasted great. Though the texture was a bit watery for a smoothie. It was a pretty hot day though so that might’ve affected it.
Ultimately, it’s nice to see an all-vegan restaurant in Burlington that has delicious & nutritious options.

Fresh n tasty - Edit
Nice healthy spot with serving soups, sandwiches, salads, tacos, burritos, breakfast stuff. Yumzone! The Rueben and breakfast sandwiches were delicious as were the sides. The breakfast sandwich was particularly good, excellent flavoring on the tofu “egg”.

I'd Go Again! - Edit
A cute little fast food spot. It's not the most comfortable space for a long lunch, but if you're looking for a quick bite or a casual hangout Lettuce Love is a good option.
Read moreHere, you order at the counter then grab a seat to wait for your food.
Honestly, the server wasn't super friendly during ordering nor bringing out our food. She didn't say a word leaving it at the table.
For food we ordered the Breakfast Sandwich with coleslaw and the Big Veg Burger with wedges.
The food came really quickly! The breakfast sandwich was on the small side, there was loads of delicious red cabbage coleslaw for sides though. Flavour wise, the sandwich was fine. I'm not a huge fan of flaked coconut bacon. That's on me though.
The Big Veg burger had a better flavour and the sauce that came with it was really tasty. It fell apart pretty quickly; nothing a knife and fork couldn't tackle. The side of potato wedges was sizeable and nicely seasoned.
I'd definitely visit again to try out some of the healthy bowls or maybe a breakfast plate.
