The staff had that just-saw-an-alien look when I asked about vegan options. One tofu breakfast sandwich but no pastries. Sandwich was alright, mostly just taste the toast, not a lot done to the tofu.

Trendy describes the decor and atmosphere which consists of walls and furniture painted in chic black and white designs. At the cash register in full display you have a glorious selection of pastries. Today's varieties consisted of 6 different flavours, 4 clearly marked Vegan!!! However, I opted out of a sugar breakfast and went straight to the toasts offerings. They have your traditional jams and cream cheeses, but also peanut butter, maple syrups and the classic avocado toast. Ordering the avocado toast I did ask if it had an egg just in case, and while it doesn't the cashier was quick to say they add butter but are more than happy to make it vegan by omitting. Unprompted which I appreciated, and was proudly told they can make many of their offering vegans if asked. Overall a pleasant experience and will be making my way back. Prices were fair. Portions were generous and most importantly staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

I chose to add portobello mushrooms and tomato to mine. They also have oat and almond milk for coffee, and for lunch, they offer grain bowls.

If you order hot beverages, make sure to request them extra hot, as they can be served lukewarm otherwise.
