Not Safe for Vegans!!! - Edit
Ordered an Indian Thali here and asked if it was vegan. She assured me it was. Then after our meal, which included a yogurt dish, i asked what she made the yogurt from and she said DAIRY!
Read moreDon't risk it. They clearly either don't know what vegan means or, more likely, don't care.
Pros: Tasty food
Cons: Lies about what is vegan, Only safe for milk drinkers

What a selection! - Edit
There is no lack of selection at Sweet Cherubim. I’m talking menu for days, hot case, cold case, dessert case, made-to-order. It doesn’t stop. The only regret you’ll have is how long it takes you to decide what to order!

great lunch spot! - Edit
I always get the veggie thali plate - never disappoints! You get to pick 2 curries, it comes with rice, chapati and salad with housemade dressing🌱 I also love the desserts like the pecan raspberry clusters 😍 a lot of raw options as well.

Go for the desserts instead - Edit
Queue the world smallest curry portions EVER. Lukewarm, not spicy and again...why is it so small for the price?
Read moreThe lasagna cheese was like eating and chewing plastic, had to stab it and some shards flew off - maybe it's been out for way too long...hmmm.
The chocolate fudge cake and chocolate brownie was fine, better than the mains for sure.
the "restaurant" is a part of the Sweet Cherubim store, we had a "pie" from there and it was good, nice and fresh.
Pros: Vegan
Cons: Food looks like they have been out since morning., Small portions of curry.

Lots of options - Edit
This place has lots of options for vegan baked goods. I love the raspberry “turtles”. The meals are good as well - didn’t blow me away, but still tasty. I do wonder a bit how long the food sits for and how fresh it is- seems like a large volume is always sitting there.

Great Indian vibe - Edit
This place is awesome, great nourishing food, without a hipster price tag.
Read moreI had beetroot and quinoa salad which were fresh and refreshing. The Lentil Pakora was a bit too dry though. There are great take away options, beautiful desserts and teas too.

Treasure Trove of Vegan Sweets - Edit
Man. Three, or was it four cases of bars, raw ball, brownies, cookies, etc and damn near everyone was labeled vegan (+ an ingredient list).I got the following: lemon anise and walnut cookie (huge), coconut rocha (chocolate covered haystack of coconut), shortbread sandwich with chocolate filling, and a ooey-gooey raspberry date bell shaped thing. All are good. The cookie was a little dry. Totalling $9CAD.
Read moreThe rest of the store is a natural food store with all the things you would expect, plus a great dried herb selection.
Staff was nice.
Pros: variety

Yummy Samosas :p - Edit
Out of all the samosas, the chickpea is my favourite ( a little spicy) and I can't find any place that makes better samosas yet. I recommend the Spinach/Feta samosa if you are vegetarian or non veggie.
Read moreAlso, I personally think the best pakoras they have are the zucchini ones as well. The other ones taste a bit bland and the texture is odd. Just warning others that if you decide to warm the pakoras, expect for a LONG wait time.
I have tried other things on their menu as well, but didn't really like any of them. The veggie burger tasted a bit burnt and I didn't like the buns at all. The salads are not fresh when I'm there (unless told by a friend of mine who used to work there at the time). The dhals and curries are okay, but I've had better and more fresh and hot.
Like another reviewer has stated, the desserts in the case are questionable. I walk by here a lot and they look like the same desserts from the day before. I've tried a lot of them and didn't like any of them personally. cookies were a little stale.
The location is great, seating inside and nice seating outside,hard to miss, and has a nice attached health food store. Worth checking out. :)
Pros: good samosas and pakoras, Location is great, Huge selection
Cons: Slow service, wait time to get food, Desserts and baked goods, Not very fresh food

Worth the stop when in Vancouver! - Edit
In Vancouver for a few days and am checking out some of the local places with Vegan food. Sweet Cherubim is about 10 minutes drive from downtown. Great variety of baked goods, including cookies, pies, muffins all of which are vegan. Also has a hot bar with Indian-influenced dishes and a coffee bar. The place is attached to a health food store which is also stocked with mostly vegan food.

What an assortment! - Edit
Entering the restaurant is overwhelming!
Read moreI am sure they offer more than 80 different meals and cakes. From burger, sandwiches, soups, cake, cookies to smoothies and juices. And everything is vegan! Well, about 95% is vegan, the rest may be vegetarian or you can choose between vegan or vegetarian.
Some meals are expensive, though. For example a small piece of cake. But therefore they offer at least 10 different exotic vegan cakes. Cookies and puddings not included.
Summing up, check it out. You won't regret it ;)
5 of 5
Pros: The assortment!, Taste, Friendly staff
Cons: Sometimes the prices

Oh sorry, I forgot two things. The have daily offers/discounts. E.g. the vegan burger + juice of your choice for free. And after or before eating you can just go into the organic grocery store next to the restaurant. Very nice.

Good Spot - Edit
Lots of tasty (Indian-ish) items. Tons of dessert/baked goodies, too. Natural foods store adjoining, and with the Co-Op and Eternal Abundance shops in next block, this is veggie mecca!

Best Place For Vegan Desserts - Edit
I've been going here since around 1990. It has always been a great place to go shopping. I love the atmosphere; it's a real hub of activity; always busy. The prices have gone way up over the years, but... so have prices everywhere else. I will say that they have the most creative, tasty, and exciting desserts. They even had raw selections long before the recent raw trend. The restaurant has a LOT of vegan choices. I never bothered to count, but it must be 98% vegan. Note: cookies, samosas, etc. in restaurant have more tax than the same sold on the store side. It's just a wonderful place and I imagine they will still be here long after the current health/vegan/raw/etc. trend has dissipated. Go pig out on desserts here!
Read morePros: Great desserts, Cookies, bread, etc. made by them, Leader in the Veg community
Cons: Druggies, bums, etc. around, Well used toilets, Uuug, the city is so filthy!!
