Blown away! - Edit
Jules and team killed it. I found them randomly searching on the web and looked for a place to hangout all day, have breakfast and lunch. OMG. I tried a bit of all four of their breakfast dishes and they were spot on regarding flavor and taste. Presentation was awesome. Great vibe, coffee and food. Their breakfast oatmeal cookie is great too. I have food coma now. Definitely my favorite chill spot in Calgary to hang, eat and work from!
Read moreBuckwheat pancakes with the basil berry compote was SO FLAVORFUL.
Fried Seitan and waffles! WHATTTTT. Better Benny was excellent on the english muffin.
Highly highly recommend.
Pros: Food, Presentation, Vibe
Cons: Not oil fee

Sounds like a perfect day at The Dandelion. Thanks for sharing, rajbbhatt.

New favourite restaurant in YYC - Edit
My mother and I went here and sat at the tables outside and it was lovely! We split the zoodle bowl and the veggie burger and could not say enough good things about the food and the staff. Definitely recommend both those dishes. We definitely plan on going back!

The BEST vegan food in Calgary - Edit
Amazing vegan take on eggs benedict. Sooo delicious! This is a tiny space with a small staff that makes everything to order so don't be in a rush to get in and out. Apparently they are going to start offering a dinner menu soon to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. Great food, good people, neat space, go support them!

Exceptional food and atmosphere - Edit
One of Calgary’s must visits if you’re a vegan or not! Three of us split the Bucky Cakes and the Better Benny. Portions were filling but not too much so, and sitting on the benches in the sunshine only added to the experience. The coffee was also fantastic; try adding hazelnut milk!
Read morePros: Unparalleled quality
Cons: Long wait

Small menu (& portions!) - Edit
Limited menu and the meals we chose were ok but not great. For the price the portion sizes were small (with the exception of getting a whole half an avocado with the salad Bowl)

What a breakfast!! - Edit
The breakfast menu may be small but it’s more than enough to choose from! My kids had the Bucky Cakes and cleared their plates and were full which never happens! I thought it wasn’t going to be enough (I eat large portions!) but it is really filling and satisfying, the chef here took his time and is a perfectionist, a big high five to him. My kids couldn’t stop watching him make the food in front of them, really inspiring for them . Must try the coffee and get a large because not only is it tasty but it’s free refills! You must go here if you visit Calgary, worth the drive.
Read morePros: Great Vegan options, Free purified water, Cool atmosphere and outside seating

unexpected - Edit
i tried the dandelion while in calgary last september the food was unexpectedly delicious, i ordered the ramsay bowl and the chiktan and waffles and was very pleased. the shop is very small and has limited seating and i couldn’t get the fried food smell off my clothes for awhile. they also don’t carry to go bowls so bring your own.

Travelling vegan - Edit
I was recently visiting Calgary and needed a place to grab a quick lunch so I went on happy cow and found this little place. Amazing staff and delicious food. I had some baked goods as well. The one con that really isn’t a con is that I wanted my dish to go and they don’t do any take out containers. It’s apart of their waste reduce initiative, which I think is amazing. They put my food in a wrap and suggested I bring my own containers next time. Just giving people a heads up to take your own containers. But overall a very, very good place.
Read morePros: Good location, easy to find , Fun staff , Yummy quick food
Cons: Bring reusable containers

Good vegan food in Ramsay - Edit
We finally ate at this vegan cafe in our neighbourhood today. My husband had the butter. He really liked it, especially the potato wedges and their sauce, and, unbelievably to me, the mashed plantain that was the “bun.”
Read moreI had the Chick’n Caesar wrap and it was really good. Nice texture, quite filling (perfect for lunch—not TOO much food), and with a side of fruit.
I recommend the dandelion and am thrilled to have a totally vegan place in our neighbourhood!
Pros: All vegan, Breakfast and lunch options all day
Cons: Service a little slow
