Craft Cafe - New Westminster

Stayed in New West for only one night but went there twice. Loved that they had more than one treat for vegans and had a few cafe type meal options. Great selection of fancy chocolates, coffee and teas for purchase. Staff were great too.

It's great to see a small restaurant offering vegan food and drinks!

Update: Since my initial review, they now provide to-go containers with separate trays, eliminating the problem of soggy sandwiches. I usually don't order coffee, but on the rare occasions that I do, I simply ask for drip coffee. It is disappointing that they charge extra for non-dairy milk, so I usually opt to skip it. One time, when I requested coffee later in the afternoon, they were out of drip coffee and offered to make me an Americano instead. While I appreciated the alternative offer, I found it odd that a cafe would run out of drip coffee. I've never worked in a cafe before, so perhaps there is a reason behind it.

The tuna salad sandwich with chickpeas at this restaurant is delicious! However, when I got my sandwich to go, they put the salad in the same container, causing the bread to become soggy from the balsamic vinegar. I asked for chips on the side, which solved the problem. Since writing my initial review, they now provide to-go containers with separate compartments, so no more soggy sandwiches! I usually don't order coffee, but when I do, I ask for coffee without any milk. They charge extra for non-dairy milk, which is understandable but disappointing for me.

I was only in New Westminster for one night, but I ended up eating at this restaurant twice because I loved it so much. I appreciated that they had a variety of delicious options for vegans, as well as a diverse cafe-style menu. They also had a wide selection of high-quality chocolate, coffee, and tea available for purchase. The staff was also fantastic.
