I'm really happy I got to meet Sivon - owner and master barista/chef at Cold Pressery. Sivon, if you're reading this, sorry for the late review!
The place is awesomely friendly and hip in all the good ways possible. None of that pretentious hipster vibe - just friendly vibes from the happy couple who own the place. Their main selling points are the vegan options for drink and food.
Their drinks are tasty and the food is awesome - especially for a non-vegan, I was skeptical. The bean options do well and they fill you up with awesome nutrients. As a dietitian, I can say that most Canadians should have more non-animal proteins to help decrease saturated fat intake and to increase the fibre that we consume.
As for the fruity options and the caffeinated beverages, they don't sweeten their drinks that much and you can always customize the amount of sugar. Obviously they and I would recommend having less sugar just to ensure you really get the taste of everything that goes into the drink. It also helps to decrease sugar intake which is already prevalent in nearly everything that we eat and is processed.
The venue is a little hard to find but use the pics that are found here! Otherwise, the inside looks awesome and has a bunch of electrical plugs for students and others just wanting to get some work done while sipping on nice drink.
I'll be back!
