| - Came here for a brunch-y thing with friends. I was a little worried that the whole vegan thing wouldn't go over well with my decidedly non-vegan friends, but everyone actually loved it.
Starting off with the ambiance, the vibe is very West coast-rustic-urban with lots of wood finishes, simple tables and chairs, and cool chalkboard walls. The food is served on mini wooden cutting board/peels. The people are friendly and super helpful and knowledgable about the food.
I ordered Hulk's Favourite smoothie and the Rawtella toast with strawberry and banana. The smoothie was a little icy, but otherwise perfect - thick, rich, not too sweet, and with a subtle nutty flavour from the almond milk. It was a bit pricey, being $8 for maybe 14 oz. The Rawtella toast was made with continental pasta dura bread, which had a really great earthy flavour that was well balanced by the sweetness of the Rawtella and fruit. The Rawtella, let me tell you, was FANTASTIC - and quite possibly better than the original Nutella. I only wish that they had applied it with a slightly heavier hand =)
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone and everyone, regardless of whether you're vegan or not, health conscious or not, etc. The prices are on the higher side, but I feel you are paying for a quality product. The food is delicious and it will leave you satisfied, without feeling weighed down. I will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu!
