I stopped into this market with a friend on a whim because we were in the neighborhood and I will definitely come back. I love the look of the place although it looks like they are still stocking up on merchandise for the shelves. The layout is a little different and a tad bit confusing but hopefully they will work it out in due time. We headed back to the food counter and I chose the vegan burger and curry lentil soup and my friend had the egg salad and bacon sandwich (she added avocado) and chips. I would have loved to have a vegan cheese and mayo option for the burger and would love to see some baked potato wedges or some type of French fries.
The food arrived in a timely fashion but the burger was in plastic container which was kind of odd. Maybe butcher paper or something else would be better. The burger was a thing of beauty and the only thing I changed was I had raw onions instead of the cooked ones put on mine. The taste was pretty good but the burger itself needed seasoning and if vegan mayo isn't available maybe a special sauce would be cool. The curry lentil soup was sooooo stinking good. Yum. Yum. Yum!! My friend said her sandwich was really good and thoroughly enjoyed it. We sat at the bar area and the woman working behind the bar was so nice and even let us sample some kombucha that I would definitely purchase next time I go. It was fizzier than usual, more like a soda almost. The name escapes me right now. She asked us our thoughts on the food and I shared about ways to improve the vegan burger and she genuinely received the feedback. She pointed out the owner at the front and as a woman of color, I was thrilled to see the owner is a man of color. Some may not understand that but it's nice to see.
On our way out, the owner asked us how everything was and he sensed my hesitation about the vegan burger and asked me about it. I shared my thoughts and he too, accepted the feedback graciously and was thankful it.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that they do have vegan dessert options but the woman who makes them was on maternity leave at the time of my visit so when I go back I hope I can get to try it. The ice cream from Two Scoops is all dairy but hopefully one day they'll have a non-dairy item.
This place has some improvements to make but with an owner who seems to be willing to receive constructive criticism, they can be made.
That is all!
