| - Cosmic Treats is a fun new addition to Kensington Market, with a retro diner feel and familiar comfort food menu options.
DECOR: Minimal, but it's still new.. White walls, orange seating and orange lamps, and some outerspace posters. Could use a bit more funk but that's just me. Loved that there was an outdoor patio which will be great in the summer, especially since they serve homemade ice cream.
STAFF: Friendly and knowledgable. Food came quickly.
FOOD: I loved that this menu isn't your average seeds 'n lettuce vegan menu, and it doesn't shy away from using gluten. There are salads and fresh dishes of course, but there's alot of familiar classics which will certainly appeal to those non-vegs like myself.
1) Cheese poppers: Daiya (brand of vegan cheese) in a panko crust. Gooey and sinful and MMM.
2) Root vegetable fries with aioli: Can't ever go wrong here. Generous serving size and the aioli had a great level of spice.
3) Sausage & pepper sandwich: The italian sausage was tofurky (i'm pretty sure) and it was smothered in sauteed onions and a delicious marina sauce. It was incredibly filling and I barely registered that I was eating tofu.
4) Tofu barbecued in sweet chili heat Doritos: I don't know how else to describe this other than "hallelujah, i have found a tofu dish that actually has personality".
5) Cupcake sundae: Vanilla soft serve in between a chocolate cupcake, with our choice of sprinkles, marshmalllows, and chocolate topping. The softserve was a little too soft for the cupcake, I'd pick a different flavour next time. But the cupcake was rich and the ice cream itself was sweet and refreshing. We sampled a few of the other flavours too, and they had a really good consistency thanks to their cashew base.
OVERALL: I really enjoyed everything I tried at Cosmic Treats and I'm definitely going to return with non-vegan friends because this menu of comfort foods, milkshakes, and ice cream is sure to appeal to anyone.
