Why milk? - Edit
I’m glad that Happy Cow has this properly listed as a vegetarian and not vegan establishment. The business promotes itself as “vegan” on its own signage and there was a sticker on their register that read, hypocritically, “post milk generation.” I say hypocritically since they strangely offer cow’s milk “just for coffee” as their employee told me. That makes no sense whatsoever for a business that is otherwise all vegan. The food was very good and the the baked goods were also great. I just wish they would lose the gross milk or change their own messaging to use “plant-based” and not vegan.
Read morePros: Great breakfast options, Great selection of baked goods
Cons: They serve cow’s milk.

Great Food, Excellent Cupcakes!! - Edit
I love dining at this place. Parking isn't easy to find but it is well worth the wait. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic. I seem to be completely incapable of leaving the store without at least three cupcakes! They've even made tempeh taste delicious (try the TLT)! I wish they'd run a cooking class for the cupcakes, I could eat them all day!
Read morePros: Cupcakes, Their support for a local animal sanctuary, Great vibe

Not worth the hype - Edit
The food was okay but not worth the hype all around. The deserts and the drinks were particularly bad. We ordered the below:

Mcmuffin - Very good
Brownie - Nahhh tastes like piece of mud
Orange cupcake - Good
Mocha - Noo, it was better a latte nor a mocha but something in between
Hot Chocolate - Strict No (kids review)
Pros: Food Options
Cons: Ambience, Food Quality, Price

Cold nachos? - Edit
I know we vegans don’t have much in the way of cheese to melt but cold nachos? These had all the making of a very yum dish (disclaimer: the coconut taste is pretty pronounced) but they were cold! Would still recommend but be warned

Everything is vegan! - Edit
Lovey chai latte (the default is soy milk). Loved the Benco bowl - warm and nourishing. Loaded banana bread was a good mix of sweet and savoury.

Delicious baked goods! - Edit
The bakery goods were really good! We tried the cinnabuns, brownie and coconut-lime cupcake - they were super yum! However, the coffee wasn't the best and the pumpkin sausage roll and lentil sausage rolls could be better.
Read morePros: Lots of vegan options, Super interesting cupcake flavours, Not sickly sweet, so didn't feel yuck afterwards
Cons: Not the best coffee , Average "sausage" rolls

Sometimes I come in just for the sausage rolls! They have some really good specials. When they have the bbq Mac and cheese wrap we have to buy two so hubs can take it to work the next day for lunch. Highly recommend this place!
Read morePros: Everything Vegan , Fun specials , They offer catering for their cakes. I love them

The belco bowl has my heart - Edit
I love everything about sweet bones. It was my first introduction to how good vegan food could be back when I was only vegetarian, and really helped with the transition to veganism!
