Kingston's only fully vegan option - Edit
Menu is fully vegan, so choices are easy. Good variety for a fast food type restaurant. Generous portion, but a bit expensive.

I Love their Avocado Toast! - Edit
Has actual variety of vegan options; a business is not accessible if Power Wheelchair users cannot enter it, easily or at all. It is possible for CB to be accessible.
Read morePros: An actual vegan eats place, Variety/good selection of vegan options, Avocado Toast is my go-to favorite!
Cons: Not (Wheelchair) Accessble, Not Zero-Entry/No Ramp, Entrance has a Curb/Lip in front of it

LOVE This Restaurant! - Edit
I've been eating at this restaurant since it first opened and I've never been disappointed! I've tried their burgers, their wraps, their bowls and their sides and have enjoyed every single one of them! The worst part of eating here is having to decide! Since this is the ONLY all vegan restaurant in this area, I am used to only having one or two items to choose from at other restaurants (if that!). It's always such a treat and a joy to eat here.
Read moreRecently I tried their pizza which I believe is being offered on a trial basis in just a few Copper Branch locations. I love pizza and eat it weekly. The Copper Branch pizza was the best pizza I have ever eaten. The toppings were delicious and the vegan cheese they used is incredible. I do hope that this trial period was successful and they decide to offer pizza in all of their locations!
Pros: All vegan, Gluten free options, Fantastic selection
Cons: Seating area isn't huge

Delicious, creative food - Edit
I am already planning on going back. There is a huge menu of all vegan options with sandwiches, wraps, bowls, smoothies and more. There are even several poutine dishes. The bagels used for the breakfast sandwiches are gluten free and taste great. You can get canned drinks like kombucha as well which are nice and cold. The staff were very kind and friendly, and the restaurant is a pleasant space to be in.

Just another 5 star review... - Edit
What can I say, how amazing is it to walk into a restaurant and know that you can order anything on the menu? A bit pricey, but to me the price is more then commensurate with the available choices and knowledge that the company prioritizes the use of organic and sustainable ingredients wherever possible. Dine in ambience isn't the best, but I highly recommend a bike ride to sit at a patio table in the warmer months and to take in downtown k-town while enjoying some delicious vegan meals!

Great Spot in Downtown Kingston - Edit
I was super excited to find out there was a fully vegan resturant in Kingston when I went vegan, let alone downtown. The food is great, and there's lots of variety on the menu. However, the variety can be confusing, and overwhemling at first, so I'd recommend looking at the menu online first, espicealy if you're bringing non-vegan friends. My go-to is a mini asian style power bowl with mixed lettuce, and smoked tofu. I'm just in love with the tofu.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Calming atmosphere, Fast takeout
Cons: Small text on menu, Tricky parking

Fully vegan cafeteria style - Edit
Copper Branch is a fantastic place, and one of the only places in town where vegans can order ANYTHING off the menu without substitution. I’m a big fan of their bowls, and typically add tempeh or the mushroom option. The smoothies are also quite tasty and there is an option to add vegan protein. Lots of gluten free options as well which is lovely to see :)
Read morePros: Delivers & does takeout, Completely vegan, Many gluten free options
Cons: Take out can take a while

Always stellar - Edit
Every time I’m on a trip I find myself at one of these restaurants and they never disappoint. They’re a tad on the expensive side - but for healthy plant-based fast food - you can’t do much better.

Not bad - Edit
The staff was friendly and the food options were plentiful. I ordered the black bean burger which was good however my daughter got the chocolate blueberry waffles. They came out so hard that she couldn’t cut them with a knife. We would try it again though. Maybe something else would be better.

Very tasty, great spot, lots to choose from - Edit
I got the General copper bowl. It was a take on the classic General Tao chicken. It was so good and I will definitely be going back again for it. I will however, ask for more of the shiitake mushroom pieces (chicken substitute) as I found there to not be very many. My buddy got the Oven baked nachos and he loved them. A little pricey for the portion sizing. A little more of the good stuff maybe and a little less rice? Great service and a very clean and air conditioned dining area.

Incredibly Delicious - Edit
Was on my way from Ottawa to Toronto returning from a wedding with my girlfriend. We had the spicy black bean burger, a poutine and she had a bowl, I can't remember what kind. The food was amazing, it was my second time at a copper branch and the staff here were amazing. I highly recommend it for vegans and pre vegans.

Copper branch makes being vegan so much easier in Kingston. Their menu has so many options and haven’t had a bad meal yet. Chicken wings are my favourite matched with their garlic aïoli.

Can't Go Wrong - Edit
I have come to LOVE Copper Branch. They have such a large menu that it never feels repetitive and since everything is vegan it's always nice to be able to have anything on the menu. I have to highlight their Shiitake Mushroom-based "meats" are INCREDIBLE. Highly recommend getting any of their burgers that boast the Shiitake meat, or any of their Bowls. Although a little pricey, the Bowls last me 2 meals and the quality of food is worth it for me. The people who work here seem to always be in a cheery mood and the ambiance is very welcoming.

Hybrid healthy-comfort food - Edit
This chain place doesn't cut corners, in their interiors or ingredients. Everything we tried was fine, but a bit less than great. I tried the poutine, but the foundational fries were oven-baked and a bit on the flaccid side. The gravy had a nice herbed mushroom flavor, and the cheese was a bit hard to discern. I recommend the small, as the large was too much. The hot wings were okay, but I'd prefer a Buffalo wing sauce to the Sriracha flavor. The coffee was good! and comes with a little square of chocolate, which is nice. I appreciate that they try to find non-GMO ingredients, and seem to balance a focus both on animals and the environment.
