Another great little Rastafari/Vegan place to support. Let's help keep these small businesses open!! I ordered 2 fresh juices, and ask that he make what he had at the moment, and 2 vegan patties for the children. One has to prod the owner a bit as to what he has fresh, but it will eventually be made clear :) Wrong address yelp. The correct info is: 1652 Eglinton Ave W; 416-901-8223

I have been eating Simply Protein bars for a few years and their shakes daily now for about 6…read moremonths. I have food allergies and many food sensitivities due to an immune disorder so this product has been a god-send. Healthy, loaded with protein, great tasting especially the chocolate shake. Customer service is not so good. A crazy thing happened with delivery of an order I purchased directly from the Simply Protein website for 6 cartons of shakes (24 drinks). 2 boxes arrived. One was fine and had 3 cartons in it. However I opened the other box to find no shakes and 4 bricks inside! Maybe a test box that made it through the warehouse undetected? They are a special kind of bricks and were serial numbered. It's a mystery. I took photos and sent them to Simply Protein. They were quick to apologize for the issue. However they offered no goodwill at all. All they offered was to send me the 3 cartons (which I had already paid for). No free products. No coupons. No gift card or credit towards future purchases. I drink one Simply Protein shake per day. I purchase them from a few different stores as well as SP's website. That's about $100/month of this product I purchase. Super disappointed in their customer service.

I saw these guys in Vancouver at the Veg Fest 2014 giving samples of their Cherry protein bar which…read moretasted absolutely amazing. Not like those gross protein bars that you get at gyms and shops, this is actually something that you could eat as a dessert if you wanted to. Bonus points that it is both vegan and gluten free. The ladies at the booth were super awesome and helpful and the prices are very decent. Highly recommended if you're not into protein bars but which that you could be.

An all vegan marketplace? Yes, please!!…read more Coven will fully open in June but they were showing of their stuff at Hamilton Veggie Food Fest. Coven sells other company's products such as Main Vegan Deli nut cheese from London, Firebat Cofffee, and Beyond Meat burgers. Coven also makes their own food such as vegan ham, cinnamon rolls, focaccia, potato salad, spinach artichoke dip, butter tarts, jalapeno corn bread, and more. The cinnamon roll is yeasty and delicious and warms up nicely in the microwave. The ham dinner was excellent. It came with three thick slices of mock meat with an excellent texture and fatty spots smothered in a delicious sauce. The roasted carrots and potato salad were also very good - everything cooked perfectly. The dinner roll was spot on - fluffy and soft but heavy for it's size. I would definitely get that again. In fact, I was so impressed that I would eat anything Coven makes. The sample of Main Vegan Deli cheese were awesome and I know Beyond Burgers are delicious! Can't wait to visit the brick and mortar spot when they open.

It's nice to be able to shop organic and natural products without breaking the bank!

I remember it being at least 2-3Xs the size of this current store which is maybe 250sq'! Perimeter of store has baker shelves with product that were quite empty. Store is open to the public and an employee runs it while he does accounting on the computer. Minus stars 'cause it is NOT much cheaper than the grocery store. 300g bag of cookies were $4.99, 250g container of Lemon/Cocoa/Ginger Snaps were $4.49. Across the street, at Costco, a 500g container was $6.79. So Costco was cheaper than the actual outlet. No bread in sight. They only sold cookies, seeds, grains, gluten free flour, & other assorted baking ingredients. Parking lot is closed off, you hafta use the intercom, but I didn't bother. It was easier to just park on the side of the road.

I was stopped at the light on my bike in the middle of the left turn lane on Harbord and the truck actually went halfway into the oncoming lane to swerve onto Christie Street at full speed, passing within two feet of me. Perhaps the bread inside that truck was amazingly delicious, but I don't imagine customers can be in such a rush to get it that they would like to see cyclists and pedestrians endangered by untrained and dangerous drivers. I was able to get a photo of the truck as it sped the other way down Bloor a few minutes later.

Last Sunday, when I was at Lakeview Farmers' Market, Natalie gave me the tipoff that there was…read morekombucha. Two words: woo hoo! I was late to kombucha program. I had learned about it in March 2020 at a virtual event held by Yelp Iowa City. It didn't make sense how such a tea lover had never had fermented tea. After that event, I bought a bottle at a cool grocery store in Maple and have not stopped consuming it since. I found Cathy's Kombucha and she was the nicest person. I sampled every kombucha that she made available that day. Unfortunately, she didn't have the blackcurrant kombucha available for sampling, but it didn't matter. I loved everything that I sampled, from the CBD, to Vinnie's Choice that she named after her dad. I knew that I'd love the blackcurrant, mainly because I love everything blackcurrant. I ended up buying a large bottle. She does have a loyalty rewards program. If you buy twelve single bottles, your next one is free. She told me that she makes her kombucha using an ancient recipe. Both the mother culture (SCOBY) and brewing method come from a monastery in Quebec. Wow! I tend to drink less sugary drinks these days. Although sugar is needed to make kombucha, there is little sugar in the final product. The SCOBY feeds off sugar, so it's pretty much gone by the time the kombucha is done. Cathy is located in Oakville. I am glad that there are many options getting more kombucha, including at a bunch of local grocery stores. I have since run out of it (two days of enjoyment), so I need to either return to the market or check out her store. The blackcurrant kombucha was so delicious! I took Cathy's suggestion of adding berries to my kombucha. It tasted so fancy! There were so many gems found at this market. Cathy's Kombucha was one of them. (297)

I was grateful enough to meet Cathy herself at the Lakeview Market in Port Credit. I was excited to…read morediscover that Cathy's Kombucha is located quite close to me in Oakville. They make their Kombucha the Monastery way - who knew there was rich history behind this beverage? I'm very into gut healing and if it tastes good in tandem, sign me up! I was able to have a taste of all her flavour offerings: - Raspberry - Boysenberry - Mango - Ginger Peach - Vinnie's Choice (named after her dad!) - Premium plus with CBD - Lemon Ginger I decided to bring a 6 pack home of my favourites: Ginger Peach, Mango and Vinnie's Choice. it was $25 for the pack. I also picked up a larger bottle of the Premium Plus which was $20. Will certainly checkout her storefront as soon as I run out of my Kombucha!
