Stopped here for lunch last week. Very bright a colourful shop. Staff are friendly. Had the protein pancakes with a hot chocolate. I couldn’t believe how quickly my pancakes arrived (3-4 mins) and they weren’t your bog standard. They almost looked too pretty to eat (almost). They were very firm and didn’t fall apart when cut into. They were covered with strawberries and nuts and had cashew butter and syrup to pour on top. It was delicious. All the flavours worked so well together. One of the best pancakes I’ve had in a long time. The hot chocolate wasn’t quite on the same level. It was nice but maybe a little rich. Their sweet treats were very tempting so I went for the bounty cheesecake which is vegan and gluten free, I believe, and I also went for the jammie dodger brownie which was recommended by the member of staff. I had the cheesecake first which was tasty. However, I wouldn’t say it tasted anything like a bounty, apart from the coconut. The texture is different from your traditional cheesecake (not nearly as soft) but still nice. I asked about the base of the cheesecake and she didn’t seem too sure what ingredients were in it. The jammie dodger brownie was a great recommendation as it tasted amazing! There was a slight crisp on the outside but the inside was soft and gooey and wasn’t too sweet. Overall, I love how this cafe/restaurant is trying to be different with your favourite meals/snacks but with healthier ingredients. I’ve actually had ideas of having my own shop like this.
I was not initially super impressed with the menu options but the Canadian Protein Pancakes did not disappoint. You could really taste the banana sweetness in the pancakes which contrasted the salty bacon. Sweet and savory explosion! Even asked for more maple syrup on the side since I am a Canadian after all, and they happily served us more. Perfect portion for the price!
Fantastic vegan waffle!! Came to do a bit of writing before a visit to the botanic gardens. Thought I might regret opting for a sweet brunch but the Plant Based & Jelly waffle lets you control how much of the maple syrup, cashew cream and jam go into it. These elements are arranged in containers on your plate for you to spread and pour yourself - ingenious + very delicious. 10/10 would recommend! Staff are friendly & it was quiet when I went on a Monday morning.
