Omg

Honestly ate here every day we were in town. It’s such a beautiful time in history where wonderful places like this are opening up on beautiful places on the planet like Ucluelet!

Pros: Best food, Best food, Best food

Small portions

Though the menu is small, each option is delicious in it’s own way. I had a smoothie one day, and I came back for the next for breakfast. I thought the portions were quite small for the price that they were charging, though.
Also, don’t order a smoothie without bringing your own straw. They are very thick smoothies that come served in narrow jars, so it’s hard to drink without a straw. They will charge you $3.75 for one of theirs, or you will have to somehow slurp it without a straw.

Pros: Yummy

Cons: Small portions, No straw options

Thank you so much for your visit. We are glad you enjoyed your food, and being such a new business, am grateful for customer feedback, which is why we have actually changed our traditional brekky bowl. It is true we do not offer single use straws, as we always encourage customer to bring their own to-go mugs, straws etc. to reduce environmental impact. We do give customers a chance to purchase their very own bamboo reusable straw that comes with a carry case and cleaner for $3.50.

Good food, but small portions for the money

This is a very nice restaurant and the ingredients are mostly local and organic, which probably explains the small portions. We had the summo breakfast bowl and the tofu eggs and potatoes were sparse.other than that we really liked the place, and it was nice to have a vegan restaurant in this small town.

Pros: All vegan, Some gluten free options

Hello and thanks for visiting! The brekky bowl is one of my favorite menu items! I love the roasted potatoes and seasonal veggies, beyond meat sausage served with toast and avocado! But it is disheartening to hear customers say the feel some bowls are expensive. Local and organic produce is the biggest challenge in our small restaurant, not to mention our small town. Because we are located at least an hour and half drive from the closest farms... it IS expensive to bring in local, seasonal and fresh produce. Especially because we are one of the only places in town doing it so there is virtually no one else to split the costs with! Often it is sometimes cheaper to purchase things from the local grocery store, than what the restaurant has to pay for wholesale fresh produce! But we hope that customers can really appreciate and understand we source only the highest ingredients and make everything from scratch.

Great spot to start the day or refuel!

What delicious food! Healthy, fresh and great taste! My Omni bf said about his kofta curry “it’s the best plant based curry I have ever had!!!” And he’s had quite a few!! A great find thanks to happy cow 👌🏼

Pros: Fresh and healthy , Lots of options , Great portion size

Cons: Takeaway treats are in plastic containers

Yew! Thanks for stopping in to refuel! Im glad you enjoyed all your treats, the curry is an all time favorite?I also wanted to mention... we DO NOT use plastics!! Our cafe is built on high morals and standards and we pride ourselves in composting, recycling and reducing environmental impact on landfills. The take away containers you see in the fridge (which we no longer display like that) are actually biodegradable corn starch packaging ;)

Super Tasty! Tricky to find.

First off - it is around the back of the building so tricky to find! Everything we have eaten for breakfast there (twice so far on this holiday) was fantastic. My three kids loved the pancakes and the strawberry mojito smoothie was delicious.
