Awesome food! - Edit
I tried the planter salad, Caesar salad, Mexi bowl, pasta and meatballs, and falafels. For dessert we got brownies and cookies. All of the food was very tasty!! I especially liked the meatballs in the pasta because they were homemade from lentils and to die for!!
Read morePros: Lots of free parking , Delicious food, Beautiful interior

Really Tasty Food - Edit
I have been here a couple of times. The food is always great and the staff kind and thoughtful! It is too bad they don't have higher visibility, because I think that that would really help business! They do have a weird "Drink your beer out of a can to keep gluten out of the dishwasher" policy, which is weird!

Good vibe for a lunch out - Edit
Nice decoration and good vibes. Liked the peanut sauce bowl, but soup taste and burger can be improved. Lentil based patty was squishy, soup of the day was a bit too spicy and salty.

"Vegan junk food" - Edit
Great brunch options on Sunday. It really mimicked a typical greasy brush but all vegan made with better ingredients. Sounds weird but I just wish they had more veggies with the main dish. However, still absolutely delicious!
Read morePros: All vegan, Good dessert options
Cons: Only brunch on Sundays, Have shorter hours

Great for a first-time vegan diner - Edit
I have been vegan for two years now, but I had a friend from Vancouver visiting who had never been to a vegan restaurant. He ordered the burger and I ordered the lentil meatball sandwich - both were fantastic, as were the spicy fries. Definitely will be back.

Great place to go in HAMILTON - Edit
It’s wonderful as a GF Vegan to know there is a safe place to go that is 100% vegan and 0 GF which is tough to navigate in the world of eating away from home.
Read morePros: 100% GF 100%Vegan, Great friendly staff, nice ambiance , Food is well thought out
Cons: Some dishes lack flavour, Find baked goods generally undercooked

From Standard to Amazing! - Edit
I've gotten pretty much everything Planted offers on their delivery menu after ordering from them so many times, and I can say they're a really solid pick. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert all have some great options! Their salads are more like a meal than a side-dish, and the ingredients are super fresh every time. I love the sweet potato street tacos and the Mediterranean bowl, and the banana split is the perfect size to share on a date ;)
Read moreThat said, only two complaints: 1. their coffee is absolute garbage, I'm not exaggerating. It's the worst coffee I've had in my entire life. 2. Whatever they do to add structure to their waffles (likely lemon juice or apple cider vinegar), they're adding too much of it. The waffles always taste a little sour no matter which variety they have (even though they're not BAD, there's much better ways to make a fluffy waffle that they should try out.)
Pros: Great variety, Fair price, Good serving size
Cons: Horrible coffee, Questionable waffles

Delicious meals - Edit
I ate there for dinner recently and had a great experience. The cashew "Mac n cheese" was superb. They make a great buffalo sauce to go with it. Lots of options in terms of salads, bowls, and hot meals.

dissapointing - Edit
I bought what I was told was a chocolate pumpkin loaf to go, but it turned out to be molasses. The flavour was very bitter and overpowering, and I generally enjoy molasses in baked treats. The texture was not bad for gluten free baking, but I was really disappointed by the taste.

Amazing!! - Edit
Went there for the first time with my daughter this past Saturday. We both had the Cashew Mac and for dessert we had the Banana Split and the Brownie Sundae. Everything was super tasty and we couldn't resist taking home a box of desserts from the assortment they have on display at the counter :) Very friendly service. Love this place. We will definitely go again!
