| - First of all, don't make the clumsy mistake of promising to meet up at a Copper Branch and mess up the location. There are quite a few in Montreal (my friend and I didn't know that) so we almost star-crossed. Proceeding
Copper branch is your fast-food vegan place. My friend ordered a mushroom burger and matcha latte (she is not vegetarian nor vegan), and I ordered a cheesecake (I'm vegetarian but I try my best to have vegan food when possible). My friend freaking loved her burger AND her drink, and was constantly intrigued by what's in the food because it's SO good! It was her first vegan meal, so she was evidently very excited. I tried her burger too and indeed it was good, especially the sauce! I'd recommend that burger (though I don't remember the exact name of it). The cheesecake was great too by the way, but it was served in the fridge next to the counter, which was a little disappointing. But that's because I expected this place to be less "fast-food-like". I was not used to having vegan fast food.
Speaking of which, my friend and I thought vegan fast food was a great thing to have. It's convenient for eat-ins and take-outs, and pretty fast and serving good, vegan food. The prices were not so high either. I would totally come grab a bite when I'm hungry at university (Concordia), I could walk there and also take a short walk break because it's not SUPER nearby.
CONS: The cashier couldn't speak English. I can speak a little French, enough to sort of communicate (and I'm also a master of body language), so it was okay, but I didn't expect that happening at all. The table was also really dirty, it wasn't cleaned before us. I had to get a napkin to clean it up myself. I don't really mind that personally, but some of you might've minded that. But again, y'know, it's a fast food place.
Copper Branch is a great place to grab a vegan bite, I really like the idea of it and I will definitely visit again!
