Smells lovely

Had the pleasure of trying a few items here and I have got to say, it was like eating your granny's cooking & baking 🥰

Pros: Fast service despite being busy

Comprehensive staff

Although the vegan options are few, the staff is very friendly and willing to modify non-vegan menu items. The food is good, not excellent, but reasonably priced. The space is laid back, it’s nice to sit there and have a coffee, no rush or pressure.

Amazing coffee shop!

Some of the best vegan pastries I have ever had! Amazing vegan lunch options as well! They also offer lots of non-dairy milks and they always have vegan baking.

Cute cafe with vegan options

Really good experience overall.
Pretty good amount of vegan options. With vegan cupcakes, cinnamon twist and apple turn over twists. And even a vegan salsa pretzel.
They make everything in house which is also awesome.
Vegan cheese and vegan mayo also available to substitute.

Pros: Vegan options , Friendly/ knowledgeable staff, Clean

This is my favourite place to go for lunch.

I always have the vegetarian sandwich, minus cheese and regular mayo. Delicious!

Pros: Delicious thick-sliced bread., Soups are always gluten-free and mostly vegan., Nice vibe!

Cons: Not a huge variety of choices.

Cupcake & Coffee

Enjoyed a vegan chai-spiced cupcake which was very tasty. They also offered a range of other vegan friendly baked goods such as pretzels, a chocolate cupcake, cinnamon twist, et.al.

I'll have to come back and check for some nice vegan lunch options.

Pros: Wall outlets for plugging in your laptop.

best coffee ever!!!

I am an avid coffee drinker; I like it strong and drink 3-4 cups a day. I got a drip coffee from the Penny today and it is the best coffee I have ever had! AWESOME! Plus they have vegan soup and dessert. It's tough to find decent vegan desserts when travelling outside the major cities.

Pros: The staff are lovely, the Penny supports local charity events, BEST COFFEE EVER

Cons: they don't have a big selection of vegan entrees

Nice place, but not great for vegans

I like this cafe very much. It was full of people, and had a great ambiance. Friendly staff too. But it's not a great place for vegans, or strict vegetarians. First of all, none of the menu items are clearly marked, and it wasn't easy to figure out what I could eat. It was sort of dependent on which staff member you asked. None of the baked goods were marked vegan. I had a good falafel and soup. Nothing to get too excited about, but capable.

Pros: Ambiance

Cons: Nothing marked vegan

A Veggie Gem

The Penny is an unexpected treasure in downtown Lethbridge. I was delighted to discover that many of the dishes on their menu were vegetarian with lots of options to make things vegan. Because the food is made from scratch- the ingredients are simple and the staff are able to tell you what is veggie friendly. Lovely people, great ambiance.

Pros: friendly staff, great ambiance, resonable cost
