Feedback
The woman who runs the restaurant is incredibly friendly. While it's not a vegan restaurant, she can adapt almost everything for vegan diets. She even recommended another vegan spot that she loves! This might just become one of my new favorite places.
This charming little café is a hidden gem. The owner, Karen, is a vegan and incredibly friendly, often creating off-menu options for customers who ask. The staff is very enthusiastic about dogs—there are nearly as many furry friends as there are people! The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is delicious, and it really doesn’t get better than this!
This is the best café in Waterloo, offering a wide variety of delicious vegan options and being very accommodating when it comes to substitutions. While it may not be fully vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of plant-based meals to choose from that are truly tasty. One suggestion for improvement would be to consider cooking mushrooms in oil instead of butter. However, this is just a minor critique for an otherwise veg-friendly spot. This update is based on a previous review from January 23, 2021.
The staff is knowledgeable and can easily veganize most items on the menu. The service is quick, and the food is delicious.
