| - The first vegan restaurant I've ever been to and I'm happy to say it won't be the last.
Stopped by to grab a quick bite to satisfy my belly before a late dinner that night, so I only tried a few items on the menu.
Soup of the day - Black Bean Soup (3/5): Typical black bean soup with tomatoes, corn, onions and a variety of spices. Nothing out of the ordinary but the "small soup" I ordered was generously sized and satisfied my hunger until dinner.
Apple Walnut Muffin (4.5/5): Fellow Yelpers recommended the muffin, so I had to try this. It is made of organic ingredients and sweetened with cane sugar. The muffin top was rightly crunchy and the bottom was soft and moist as it should be. If there were a gluten free option available I'd give it a perfect rating.
Carrot & Ginger Vegetable Juice (3/5): Awkward combination of sourness and over-sweetness. The idea of carrot and ginger sounds great, but the actual juice was way too sweet and simultaneously too sour for my liking. However if your saliva glands like a challenge, you may end up liking this drink.
They also serve salad, sandwiches and cupcakes which I didn't try this time, however you should note there are no gluten free options available for the sandwich bread.
Going to the rest room is an interesting experience. You will need walk through the kitchen and then downstairs to find the single stall bathroom. This was the first time I've had to walk through a kitchen to get to a bathroom, but I'm happy to see their kitchen meeting Toronto's cleanliness standards.
Overall, this is a cool joint with bar stool seating. It's located in one of the corner streets of Kensington, which provides for an interesting view. The staff are friendly. I would come back.
