HOT VEGAN 🔥🔥🔥 - Edit
Stopped in June 2023 and asked for Dairy Coffee. Nope. Asked for honey. Nope. Broadfork is now 100% Vegan. I am a vegan of my word. As such, I have fully reinstated my 5-Star rating and endorsement of this beautofu food outlet. Long live Broadfork! Congrats!

NOT VEGAN
I used to eat here regularly, however, on a tip from a friend, I went in and confirmed this restaurant does in fact sell animal products (cow's milk). When I went to ask if true, my inquiry was met with the typical excuse: "We have to, it's like a gateway to bring people in." Typical speil. Nobody is going to walk out of the vegan cafe because they wanted anti-vegan food! What's that logic? However, there are plenty of vegans, myself included, that will walk out of a business that sells animal products.
When a non-vegan customer comes into the cafe and orders coffee, don't even ask, just give them plant-milk, if they complain and spit it out, (they won't) offer a refund or a different type of milk. Or maybe explain what the vegan sign outside actually means if they are confused.
Much better than lying to your vegan customers calling your business vegan and promoting it as such.
Please re-categorize as "vegetarian." And allow them to discover that it will cost them more money/business to sell animal abuse products than to boycott them. And please don't call your business vegan, when your business is not.
When anti-envrionment, cow-death-milk is off the menu, I will adjust my rating and review.

Great lunch spot - Edit
I love their veggie kick bowl! It’s got a great balance of umami and spice. My partner has tried their kimcheese in the past but prefers the artichoke melt and also likes their desserts. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu.
Read moreEdit: If you’re looking for a wrap, I recommend the spicy hummus wrap with tempeh. IMO the veggie kick is better as a bowl.

MUST TRY!! - Edit
I loved this place so much, the freshness in the food was incredible, the only downside had been that they were out of some ingredients and took longer than usual to bring out the food.

Best food hands down - Edit
Healthy, and exceptionally delicious, bowls - both the peanut bowl and the avocado tofu. Kim cheese and mushroom melt sandwich are to die for when you crave something slightly greasier. The lentil soup is good, but they recently got a tomato soup that was exceptional alongside one of their sourdough sandwiches.
Read moreThe flu buster is my go to drink in winter, and every one of their smoothies is amazing. They usually carry Nanaimo bars, and their chocolate cupcake is excellent.

Cute place - Edit
Open for indoor and outdoor seating. Very friendly staff and very fresh and delicious sandwiches. I added tofu to my artichoke melt and I chose the green salad with it. Big portion. The green tea kombucha from the tap was a little bit overripe for my taste. The outdoor seating was not very inviting. They had a nice little artist exhibit inside and I totally loved it.

Tasty food with a bit of an old school vegan hippie vibe to the menu. If you’re in the mood for dessert, try the Nanaimo bar...SO good! Great place to sit with a coffee, juice, or beer and get some homework done.

Great people great food! We were in the neighborhood and decided to stop by. - Edit
Great people and great food! We loved it. The person at the counter who took our order was friendly and even got me the email of the place they get their yummy hot sauce from. Hubs tried a habenaro cider which he loved. Food was fresh and beautiful. Defiantly will stop again. Only off thing was the gluten free brownie was a little dry, but the taste was great and we ate it right up!

Good casual cafe - Edit
Stopped in at 6pm on a Wed and lots of open tables available. Found street parking (free after 6pm) on 11th (a block away).
Read moreEnjoyed delicious grilled artichoke sandwich on sourdough bread and it came with a bowl of soup. I had the lentil soup which was delicious. My spouse had a salad (not enough dressing so it was too dry) and spicy cheddar broccoli soup, but he found the soup too salty for his healthy palate.
Pleasant cafe atmosphere with lots of windows to view street activity. Free WiFi.
Pros: All vegan menu , Desserts, Muffins, cookies, lattes, teas, Good sandwiches and soups
Cons: A little expensive (About $30 for 2 people), Street parking could be limited, Service could be slow if they are busy

Sad breakfast. - Edit
I came in hopes of some good vegan food. I was met with disappointment when they only serve a breakfast portion of the menu before ten. This left me ordering avocado toast. Which was literally half an avocado spread on bread. I could have made it better my self at home.
Read moreThey got 3 stars Because the juice is okay. I did a make your own got carrot ginger and kale. And it's pretty good.

Cons: horrible breakfast menu.
