| - Vegan for 10 years, I was excited about the opening of hot beans-especialy in kensington market since i am often there. I was so disappointed. The food leaves such a heavy feeling in my stomach. The only item that I could literally stomach is the jackfruit pulled tacos. The seitan burrito.. yikes. The pieces of seitan were HUGE, dry, and really not very chewable. My children will eat just about anything vegan, and after one bite, they refused any more. The bean burrito, same thing-left a really heavy feeling. The coconut lime doughnut that so many rave about. Well, it was just a cakey (not light), dense piece of dough that sit in my belly. I even asked a friend to go and buy one just so make sure it isn't just me. Maybe it's because I prefer healthier foods, and don't use salt in my cooking, but I can't eat here anymore.
Also, the service was really inexcusable. The only time I've ever been treated nicely and spoken to while there, was by an employee-not one of the rude owners. When I was asking a question to one of them once, she even said she would 'pass the message on to the owners.' I pointedly asked her, 'aren't you one of the owners?' she had the audacity to say 'i meant the others.' Right. This is what happens when young suburban types come downtown, with their ___ is right mentality. No thanks
