A must try! - Edit
The food here is so fresh and delicious! Whether you feel like having soup with rice, a sandwich, a breakfast plate, pizza or just coffee, Wild Oat is the perfect place. A lot of their stuff is vegan and they can often veganize what's not.

Yummy! - Edit
Went for breakfast and they had vegan substitution options. Said there would be avocado in place of eggs but there wasn’t, no worries it was still very yummy! Pretty good prices and I know they have a bakery on the other side with many options. Servers weren’t wearing masks (which made me uneasy, but isn’t required anymore) and the space is small but quaint.

Excellent food and well priced - Edit
You can have something made fresh to order on the café side, or in the bakery they have a little buffet area where you pay by size if you want something hearty like lasagna or chili. Their crepes are seriously my favourite in the whole city. They make a mean latte. In the bakery side you can also buy jams, hummus, and a few frozen things like quiches and pot pies. I love this place!
Read morePros: The entire menu is either vegan or vegetarian.
Cons: Small seating area

Cozy spot, awesome food - Edit
I really like this little cafe/bakery. The food is fast and delicious and the staff are really friendly. They have some great vegan soups and sandwiches, I love the sweet potato hashbrowns for breakfast, and I never leave without getting one of the vegan baked goods.

Lots of Vegan Soup Options - Edit
There is a cafe side and a take out side. On the take out side there is lots of different soups, bread and baked goods. I had red lentil Dahl with a roll which was really delicious. I also got the walnut chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and ginger cookies both were really good. This is a great budget friendly spot for lunch.

Great place for brunch! - Edit
The Wild Oat is a casual, busy vegetarian place with meals to order, ready-made items (like muffins) and a mini-grocery section (with kale chips, vegan apple pie, etc). It has a bit of hippie feel, but is still pretty mainstream. I'd definitely go back for brunch or lunch.
Read morePros: good prices, vegan muffins!
Cons: so busy you might not get a seat

Lots of great raw options - Edit
The raw pizza is fantastic, as is the raw pie (raspberry is the best). The raw pie is best when it's a teeny bit frozen though, so take it home instead of eating it there! Raw truffles are amazing too.
Read moreLots of other great food when I'm not on a raw food kick:) Toasted sandwiches are great, baked goods, and it's great to have the japanese breakfast as a unique brunch option (so hard to find vegan breakfasts at a restaurant!)
Pros: Excellent food, Great raw options, Funky atmosphere
Cons: Sometimes very busy, Sometimes noisy

A Great Bakery - Edit
Try their scones! Their pies rock! The check out staff in the bakery could be faster, but the baked goods are worth it.
Read moreThey always have raw selections.
Coffee and sandwiches are good too.
Pros: organic, tasty, healthy, pies rock!, great staff

GREAT! - Edit
Ok, so I definitely agree the Wild Oat has had its moments with not-so-great service in the past- I've been going there for years, every few weeks. However, I dropped in early last spring, probably in March for breakfast on a Saturday morning and it was packed! But the staff was so jovial and friendly. There was great music and everyone was dancing, and it didn't take that long for our order. Our coffees came right away and were really good and the breakfast was fast and delicious. Since then I've been going back every weekend and sometimes pop in on weekdays and it's great. The baked goods are really delicious!
Read morePros: excellent food, fun atmosphere, various options, well-priced baked goods
Cons: a tiny bit pricy for non-baked goods, can sometimes be a long wait, sometimes hard to find a table

Healthy Equals Bland at Wild Oat - Edit
I can't get excited about this place which does 'healthy' well, but fails in making it 'taste' good.
Read moreTwo years living in the Glebe, and I basically avoid the Oat for tastier options at bakeries in Centre Town... and mostly food at home (healthy, but tastier).
Pros: healthy, good ingredients
Cons: taste, dry and bland
