Good spot

It was really good. Only two non vegan things on the menu, cheese and sour cream which can both be replaced.

Pros: All vegan , Tasty

Delicious dishes and lots of vegan options!

Solid menu and great flavour all around! Per some previous reviews and from our experience, some items are definitely better than others. Would highly recommend the enchiladas with their vegan cheeze, very delicious and quite a big meal. Tacos can be hit or miss. Went back for the Saturday brunch, food was good and nice portion sizes. Nothing special but nice to have a breakfast vegan option in St. John’s!

Mediocre but glad to find vegan food

The restaurant is vegetarian but most dishes are vegan, and the vegan options are clearly labelled. The Pad Thai was mediocre. It was too sweet and not very flavourful otherwise. There was a meagre amount of tofu and vegetables. Maybe I just didn’t order the right dish - their burritos looked delicious. Regardless, the meal was filling and I was glad to find vegan food in St John’s! Cute exterior decor and cozy ambiance.

Great vegan options

Had the avocado taco which is not a taco at all; more like a burrito. Super yummy

Tasty

A great find! Really tasty vegan food & generous portions. The cinnamon buns are soooo good! One of the few clearly labelled vegan options in St John’s that has late opening hours & friendly staff who want your custom.

Filling Vegan Options

Although not entirely vegan, there are plenty of vegan options or meals that can be modified. I got the enchiladas with vegan cheese and TVP. The portion was large, price was super reasonable and it tasted delicious. I would definitely go back if I was in St. John's!

Pros: Lots of vegan options (including desserts) , Big portions , Great service

My favourite place in St.Johns!!

Cozy restaurant, great eats and lovely staff!!! Everything on the menu is vegetarian but can be made vegan (and is crazy delicious). I have recently moved away but I dream about those tacos every night!!

Pros: Everything can be made vegan, Reasonably priced, Tacos are to die for

Great option downtown

First night in St. John’s and we picked this spot; it did not disappoint. Chose the enchilada, pad Thai and poutine. Enchilada was yummy. Pad Thai is decent (tough to beat authentic Thai restaurants near our home) and the kids loved the poutine. Will definitely be back.

Pros: Lots of options, Great location, Nice atmosphere

Cons: No table service

Solid Vegan food

Had the enchilada- stuffed full of delicious fake ground beef and beans. Enchilada sauce was flavorful, could have been improved by some vegan cheese and sour cream- making it vegan means just forgoing cheese altogether. Green salad was solid. Poutine was not great.

Pros: Everything can be made vegan

Cons: No dairy cheese

Best food I had all week

Having spent a week staying in St John's for work I can hands down say the Enchiladas I had here was the best meal I had & I wish I'd found it sooner. The restaurant had a very relaxed environment, ideal for me as a lone diner.

Pros: Full Veggie/Vegan menu, Very reasonably priced

Delicious vegan options!

Have been told all of their regular items can be made vegan. Have had the burrito a few times and it’s fabulous - so fresh and substantial. Definitely recommend this place. Cool vibe inside. Outdoor seating available.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff , Cool atmosphere

So close to vegan

Why!?! This place has so much potential if they just got rid of the dairy=veal. The food is above average and the place has some fun local art on the walls.

Pros: Willing to convert dishes to vegan, Food was goodish, Loved the local art

Cons: Sells dairy=veal, Don’t think the chef has tried Mexican food

Way better than it used to be

We've been vegan for a long time and for years The Sprout was the only game in town for vegetarian restaurants. The problem with the Sprout was the lack of consistency. Sometimes the food was good, other times it wasn't. Sometimes the staff were kind, efficient, and helpful and other times the service was dreadful.

They have since changed to a take-out restaurant with an eat-in option where you order at the counter and take your food to your seat when the food is ready. They've also introduced the Poyo taco menu to their regular menu (Poyo used to only be available late at night weekends). The tacos are amazing. I'm not a big TVP fan so I always get the tacos with black beans. They are delicious. The service is also better. We avoided the Sprout for a long time but have since become regulars again. The food (specifically, the taco selections) are fantastic and the staff they've hired are a lot better and friendlier. Be aware that they no longer take credit cards. It's debit or cash only (and I think that during their late night service it's cash only).

Pros: delicious tacos, lots of soy free options, some things are vegetarian and not vegan

Cons: no more table service, cash only

Nice little cafe, nothing spectacular

I ate a supper meal here and it was okay. Per reviews, I ordered the Pad Thai and found it was nothing special if you are used to eating Thai food from real Thai restaurants. My mom got the chickpea Curry which was sweet but very good. We also had a vegetable plate starter and were overcharged for it. I would probably visit again, but would definitely check out other spots in St. John's before coming back.

Pros: Vegan options are well marked on menu, lots of variety, good ambiance

Cons: Slow service, accidentally overcharged us

Amazing spot

Vegan or not people will love this place! My husband had "the best Pad Thai he's ever had in his life!" We went for supper and back for lunch the next day and plan on going again for supper tonight. We have tried the Poutine with a twist, the black bean burger, the pad Thai and the taco salad. All delicious! They also carry vegan desserts from Tulip Baroo. All of those are also amazing! The dark chocolate brownie was particularly delicious!

Pros: Amazing food, Great service, Awesome atmosphere

Cons: A but warm in there since it's not well ventilated

Good healthy food

The Sprout is a vegetarian restaurant offering several vegan options (a little bit limited for the brunch but sufficient otherwise). I ate there twice, one for lunch and one for the brunch. For lunch, I chose the poutine with fried tofu. It consisted of rice, potatoes and a good sauce. The portion was nice and it was tasty. For brunch, I had a dish with mushrooms and tofu with toasts. There was only one or two vegan options but they were good. Prices are fair and the staff is friendly. The food is made daily with good produce, making it sometimes long to have your dishes. I also enjoyed the place that is peaceful and pleasant, even if it can be crowded.

Pros: good food, fair prices, pleasant place

Cons: limited vegan options for brunch

Great Little Place

I am vegan and my wife is vegan/gf. This is a little piece of heaven for people worried about eating out and having your dietary requirements met. We couldn't decide on what to have for dessert so we bought it all! Highly recommended.

Pros: Lots of Choices , Great Prices , Friendly Staff
