We all left there satisfied and happy with the dishes we chose. For dessert we shared the almond butter cups which were melt in your mouth goodness! Highly recommend this spot if you want a vegan, comfort food meal!

The juice I ordered contained beet, apple, celery, and carrot, which was freshly squeezed upon me placing my order. The juices are expensive, but not unreasonable for freshly squeezed juice.

I had the veggie deluxe sandwich, chocolite smoothie, and a double chocolate cupcake. I wasn't a huge fan of the feta for the sandwich, as it was just marinated tofu, but the baguette, roasted veg and sauce was delicous. Our server was friendly. Cons to Wild Leek: They have a very small menu, I would love to see them expand more main options.

My Breakfast Bowl seitan bacon, roasted potatoes, sautéed mushrooms onions, kale, toasted sesame seeds, dragon sauce) was oh, so satisfying as a savory breakfast feast. The kale was tender and clearly steamed with care. I'm usually not one to seek out meat-type vegan replacement foods but I can tell you, I'm a fan of the seitan bacon! It was chewy and flavourful and there were 3 big hunks of the stuff. The potato-mushroom-onion fried hash under the kale was decadent. I slathered it with the piquant dragon sauce. My partner's Daily Benny chef's selection of seasonal vegetables on toasted english muffin, eggy patty, house made hollandaise sauce served with roasted potatoes or salad) was ridiculously good and mimicked a traditional eggs benny, without the fatty, meaty, creamy caloric bomb that comes with an egg-based version. The muffin was the white and chewy-puffy type you can really sink your teeth into. The season veg on top was very lighlly wilted small leaf spinach, and added flavour texture and a great fresh colour. The Hollandaise ish) sauce had an excellent flavour and creamy smooth texture. Her side of roasted potato was perfectly cooked and crying out for a traditional shot of ketchup! Coffee was hot and black and water refills were delivered with a smile and a friendly little chat about hiking at Polly's Cove. Prices are excellent for this quality of food $13 and $13.50). Can't wait for Installment #3!

I wouldn't recommend dining in with a group, but it's a great place to grab a quick treat.
