Stopped by for a quick lunch here with the BVF due solely to proximity to where we were caught up on that trip. We had both tried and and reasonably enjoyed the other location, so it was considered a safe stop.
I'm afraid I need to concur with some of the other reviewers and give this place the 2 star "meh" it deserves.
Although I liked the look and feel of the place, the music was too loud - not at all conducive to conversation. Service was friendly and efficient.
The problem was with the food. Essentially this was old-school taste challenged vegan fare - large clumps of grainy chewy stuff surround by veggies that needed to have been cooked more in some cases and less in others. The tofu balls and quinoa special was a nice portion for lunch but was downright unpleasant. The quinoa was ok, albeit bland, but the tofu balls were best left off the menu. Had some of the BVFs (Best Vegan Friend) salad which was pretty good but the tempeh wrap may as well have been chunks of newspaper.
Honestly, I cannot understand how this one gets it so wrong and the one in Mile End gets in right... I actually double checked to make sure they were the same owners. Maybe it was just a bad day, but I won't be hurrying to go back anytime soon.
