This is one of my go to spots in Edmonton. I have brought friends from out of town to eat here and they cannot wait to ever come back. The atmosphere is positive and upbeat. The café is very modern and cozy. Everything on the menu is delicious. I love coming here for breakfast. I always try something different whenever I come here. I do have a weakness for the Lemongrass Minty Vermicelli Bowl. I would highly recommend this café!! read more

The Moth Cafe - Banana Cream Pie - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I have taken some of my family and friends here 4 times now. The food is usually very good, service has always been very slow and not being checked up on but that has been looked past. However today, I took my vegetarian friend for her birthday and was super disappointed with the service and the lack of interest in redeeming the situation. First, two of us ordered 16 oz of kombucha but were brought 8 oz, which then no one made a fuss about but told them, and 15 minutes later were brought another 2 8 oz and told they were added to the bill, in which we did not want anymore at that point. Then, we asked for nachos to start, and we're brought with the whole meal. 2 friends ordered Benny's, one was fine and the other jackfruit patty was so greasy it turned to liquid in your mouth and wasn't even eaten. We told the front of service on paying the bill as we weren't checked on, to which she just said "oh sorry we'll let the chef know." No offer to get it off of the bill or anything on the house. I felt like there was multiple problems with the whole experience, which is sad because I've never posted a negative review but the fact no one tried to better our service was disappointing in the industry. Decent food usually, but the service aspect needs a lot of work. read more

I liked the Moth Cafe. After seeing tons of instagram photos I thought, wow, this place looks super cute, and I went to check it out. I knew they were pretty health conscious, but it wasn't until I looked at the menu I realized they were completely vegan! They have a bunch of options in regards to raw and GF diets as well. The menu is quite large, most of the dishes being plant-based or tofu-based. The food here reminded me a lot of cafe mosaics but a lot less heavy; you get a lot of food when you order but things aren't strong, overpowering, or overly filling. Think lots of veggies and whole foods, which is I guess what they were going for! Each menu item has a list at the top so you can see what ingredients are included so if you're like me and you hate onions you can avoid those dishes! Super handy. I ordered a tofu sandwich and it was really good. The mustard on it was super delicious, and it came on bread with a bunch of veg. It didn't come with a side but it was quite filling as I only was able to finish half, had to take the rest home with me. Service was good, overall pretty quick. I was impressed with the size of the place; it's in a very odd area on Jasper Avenue but the interior is beautiful and it has very open windows that let lots of light in. The prices are decent for food, but the drinks can get quite expensive depending on what you order. They have a lot of selection, as mentioned above, and there's something for everyone here. Pastries, teas, sandwiches, pasta, the list goes on and on. Good stuff, and I enjoyed my visit. It's nice to have another vegan place in the city, and even though it's not my favourite, I definitely wouldn't have an issue going back. read more

We wanted to check out this place for a while but on weekends it's busy and lineup is long. Weekday is preferred. Ordered chai pancake (excellent) and potato curry pot pie (amazing!) must try here. The decor is very classy and cozy and I love the natural light. Our server was great and the food came in 5 minutes. Overall great experience! read more

The Moth Cafe - Breakfast burrito - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Really enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere here. My friend ordered the laksa, while I tried the miso soup. Both were very delicious and could easily convert me into being a vegetarian! We also ordered some lattes to try, yes they are a little pricey but I think it was still worth the price. The menu was a bit daunting having so many pages, but we soon realized it was about 10 pages of nutritional and health benefits. The food is near the back of the menu! Overall would definitely come back once in a while for a healthy treat, budget permitting. It can get a little chilly during the winter as the space is pretty open. read more

This sister restaurant to Cafe Mosaic is so dang lovely. The space is warm, and let's be real, hip AF. The patio would be a very nice time in the summer! My mum and I shared the raw nachos and couldn't shut up about how tasty they were. We also had the tomato soup and the chicken burger. Jackfruit turned into a crispy burger? Great idea y'all. The dill pickles on top? PERFECTION. The parking lot is full of potholes and usually full of people so drive slow and maybe prepare to wait for your tasty eats. read more

My and my friends decided to check out the new Vegan/Vegetarian restaurant in town. First of all, really hip vibe. Great place to meet to chit chat and feel like you are as cool as the people on friends. Also a great place to take your angsty teenager to calm them down. They have a lot of interesting cocktails, medicinal teas, tea lattes and gin and tonics. I ordered the Juniper Rose Gin and Tonic. It came beautifully presented, but I have to say that it was a little underwhelming. For the price I paid I wouldn't order that again. I ordered the lentil walnut pate with a baguette for us to start, and a lemongrass minty vermicelli bowl for a main. My one friend ordered the pulled jackfruit enchilada, while the other ordered the laska soup. For sure my favourite was the lentil walnut pate...rich and nutty it tasted comforting on the cold spring day. My lemongrass minty vermicelli bowl was good, but again was advertised as spicy and I felt that it was a bit underwhelming. Both my friends liked their dishes but were not wowed by them. I would definitely come her again to try a tea latte and maybe a brunch but I can't say I was blown away by the food. read more

PLEASE take warm clothes and a winter coat. The people and food are always great but leaving the door open to the patio in such a small restaurant, in October, in Edmonton, was a Birthday spoiler for the six of us. At least warn people on your website if you are doing that and refuse to close it....we all dressed up for an important Birthday and quite frankly, we weren't dressed for it. I counted so many uncomfortable diners. I feel like I am being the person I dislike on Yelp with focussing on the negative, but it was a big negative. What a shame. read more

The decor may be lovely- but the service and food are so bad!! My friend & myself had the samosas- they were so dry! And my friend found a hair in hers - GROSS! I had the falafel bowl - falafel was hard & dry! Tasted and looked like a week old. I almost broke my tooth on it- that's how hard it was. I could only finish- half of one of 3 I got. When the bill came I asked if some of it could be taken off- the server proceeded to explain that he spoke to the kitchen and that was just as they came- I asked to speak to a manager & apparently this establishment doesn't have one! It is clearly run by people who do not know anything about customer service! Definitely a NO FROM ME!! Do not bother with this place if you are looking for top notch food or service! DISGUSTED!! read more

Just east of the downtown core, amidst the revitalization of the Quarters, a new plant-based cafe has opened up in the space formerly occupied by Trang Tien. The Moth Cafe is the little sister to vegan and vegetarian restaurant Cafe Mosaics, but The Moth differs with it's focus on plant-based food and drink and healing elixirs made with nutritious raw ingredients. Walking through the arched doorway into The Moth, the space is bright and inviting with accents of exposed brick and greenery. Any remnants of the family-run Vietnamese restaurant are gone and replaced with a beautifully tiled counter space, marble-top furniture, and a cozy lounge area complete with seating suspended from the ceiling. I have stopped by The Moth on two occasions now, the first of which was for lunch on a weekday. My fiance and I were pleasantly surprised by how busy the cafe was, given that they had only opened their doors a few days prior, but that's always a good sign. The menu can appear overwhelmingly long, but three quarters of the pages were dedicated to teas, elixirs, and other blended drinks. We chose to start with some smaller bites and ended up with a main dish to share. We started with the Gluten-free Jackfruit Crabcakes ($12) which arrived as a plate of four with a light citrus cream for dipping. One of the things I truly admire about vegan cuisine is the use of a variety of different ingredients for texture, and the jackfruit really worked for this dish. While the texture differed from a traditional crab cake, the ingredients held together nicely and gently flaked apart with each bite. The cakes were flavourful on their own with their crispy exterior and kick of heat, but the citrus cream gave it that extra little zing. The name makes this dish sound less appealing, but the Moth Banh Mi ($10) was a truly delicious homage to the traditional Vietnamese sub. Sandwiched within the crispy baguette was a delicious vegan mutton made primarily of soy protein and mushrooms. The texture of the mutton really did mimic that of meat and there was so much umami in each bite. The mutton also packed a generous amount of heat, which was balanced by the the lentil paste, pickled carrots and cucumber. I loved The Moth's banh mi, and would almost pick it over my usual banh mi. The menu featured two noodle soups, so as a self proclaimed noodle soup lover it wouldn't be right if I didn't give them a try. We chose the Banana Blossom Shiitake Miso ($15) noodle soup, which came topped with meaty shiitake mushroom slices, chives, sliced banana blossom and silken tofu. We were surprised at just how large the portion was - it was quite the substantial meal for one person. After the first few bites of the noodles it became evident to us that our bowl probably wasn't prepared properly. The clear broth had a predominant lemongrass flavour, overpowering any trace of miso, and all the rice noodles in the bowl were broken into short 1 inch pieces. I was fairly certain no miso had been added to the broth, and the bowl was pretty difficult to eat using the chopsticks provided. We looked around the restaurant at others who had ordered the same bowl and their noodles were long and easy to pick up, leading us to our conclusion. The noodle soup wasn't bad, but had the preparation been executed properly I'm sure I would have enjoyed it much more. On our second visit to The Moth we found ourselves seated for breakfast shortly after the cafe opened. We were the first customers for the day, but soon after the room started to fill up even on one of the coldest mornings this winter. I wanted something hearty to kick off my day so I ordered the Moth Breakfast Bowl ($15). The colourful breakfast bowl was filled with roasted vegetables (eggplant, mushroom, peppers, brussel sprouts, asparagus), fresh cherry tomatoes, soy-based sausage, and an egg-like crumble. On it's own the bowl was comforting, but the cashew sauce on the side really brought the dish together. Think of it as vegan hollandaise and you'll understand why I poured it all over the contents of my bowl. My fiance opted for the Gluten-free Chai Pancakes with Cinnamon Banana ($15) and extra blueberries. The portion of fluffy pancakes was more than generous and sweetened perfectly with the side syrup and bananas. He did find the whipped 'cream' to be a bit too sweet for his liking, making the bites with all the components together a bit too rich. The Moth Cafe is a great addition to the Quarters and will hopefully appeal to the diverse residents that the community currently serves. The prices are affordable and the space has a relaxing vibe, which makes it a perfect setting for a coffee or bite to eat at any time of day. Gordon and I were actually quite surprised at how long we were satiated after each visit, and we really didn't miss the meat at either meal. Both of my visits have been pleasant and have left me excited to return again in the future. read more

My friends and I came here for brunch on a Sunday. I recommend that you show up a few minutes before 10am (when they open) as it gets extremely busy. The space is inviting and eclectic. There is a lot of natural light, openness, and space that sets you up for a relaxing experience. Also, it is kid/baby friendly. We all ordered a variety of things on the menu. Speaking of the menu - it is crazy full of different kind of drinks, tonics, alcohol, coffee - you name it, they probably have it. It is actually a little overwhelming but I decided to settle on the bullet proof coffee which is coconut oil in an americano and a side of almond milk. It was yummy. My friend and I decided to share a couple of random dishes. The first were their vegan crab cakes and they were delicious and had a bit of kick to them. The coconut dip that went with them was awesome and a nice touch. The second item we shared were the chai pancakes with a side of cream. I would order the whipped cream on the side as it is sweet and you can add as much to your pancake as you like. I really enjoyed these! They were fluffy and full of flavour. Our server was friendly but not very present. It could be because it was busy. She forgot one of my friend's coffee and they made my other friend's chai latte with coconut milk and not soy that she requested. She wasn't very happy as they did not let her know to give her the option of changing her order. And when we asked for two plates to share our meals, she gave us small dessert plates. It was challenging eating a pancake that takes up the whole plate but we made due. All in all, I enjoyed the food and the ambiance and base my 4 star review on that but probably would give 3 stars for service. read more

Finally got to try this vegan restaurant! This is a pretty restaurant!! The decor and vibe is really nice. They have a pretty intense menu for drinks which include speciality lattes and tonics. I didn't try any so can't comment on those - but FYI $7-8 a drink. Their food menu isn't as large - my friends and I ordered the Jack fruit crab cakes to share, they were sooo good! I'd recommend them. Just wish there was more! And for mains we tried the Lemon grass vermicelli Bowl and moth spaghetti. Both were really good! The meat alternatives in the dishes were really well done. I'd return and order my vermicelli bowl again! My friend really enjoyed the spaghetti. For dessert we tried the blueberry cheesecake- made with cashew cream. Suprisingly very good! All the dishes were recommended by our waitress. Overall, a great addition to the vegan scene! I Would return. read more

Even though it's located off a busy main street, the cafe has plenty of free parking in front - always a plus in my books :) The exterior and the interior of this cafe is beautiful - love love love. I love all the decorations with the wood interior and tons of green plants. Definitely a cute place for a girls get together brunch, or a date. There are a few tables and chairs outside too if you want to catch some sunlight on the patio. We visited for brunch on a Sunday, and it was still quite roomy when we arrived around 10am. Seated right away, the server explained the menu to us - drinks and food, but they also have an appendix with extra add-ins for both your food and drinks for $2. Interesting concept. I was sold by the look of the chai banana pancakes at the table next to ours, and my friend got the pasta with vegan meatballs. Both dishes looked amazing, and were quite large portions. My pancakes were actually really really big - if you weren't super duper hungry, you could probably share this between two people! In my opinion, my dish was made by the coconut whip served on the side - this stuff is SO GOOD! I opted to add blueberries to my dish for an extra cost, but you can also add extra bananas or chocolate chips. Next time, I would ask for less bananas and substitute it for more blueberries or whatever other fruits they have available. The pasta was good with a good kick of spiciness, and I can't believe those meatballs are vegan.. amazing! Avocado toast on the side of the pasta dish was also so so good. The seasoning on top of the avocados gave it an extra oomph to the basic avocado toast. The only reason I took off a star was that our food took FOREVER to come out. I asked for my bananas to be cooked extra, which I thought was why the dish took so long (like 30min+) but when it came out, I had to send it back anyway because the bananas were still raw. The service was amazing and very friendly though; I wonder if the kitchen is understaffed? Unsure of the reason for slow food prep times. We also tried the beverages here - I got the matcha maca moringa and my friend got a coffee. My drink was very so much matcha-y, so if you don't like the strong flavour with a bit of bitterness from matcha, I would reconsider gritting this beverage. Lucky for me, I love matcha and I'm not a big into sweet drinks, so this was perfect for me :) I loved the extra deco on top of the drink; so pretty! I'd love to visit this place again as their menu is quite extensive, and would totally recommend people give this cafe a try, even if it's just for a drink. Hopefully they work on the service times and they can be a solid 5/5 soon. read more

The Moth Cafe - RAW Lasagna & Moth Spaghetti. Would absolutely suggest trying these two dishes! - Vegan Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Hit & miss experience for me. I came here with a group of girlfriends for a birthday brunch. Luckily one of my friends got there early to secure a table (necessary during the weekends since it gets very busy). To drink, I ordered a chai latte but instead of coconut milk (default) I wanted soy milk. I asked the server if they could someone make the chai with a more intense flavour. She played around on the ipad (where orders are taken) and said I could adjust the spiciness or sweetness. We decided together that both should be adjusted to increase the intensity of flavour. Well the drink came out after our food arrived and the barista, who dropped it off, indicated brusquely my order of a coconut chai latte. Not soy. I had to holler at her before she hurried away that i had ordered it with soy milk, to which she replied, you wanted it more sweet so I made it with coconut milk. So much for letting your customer know this major change. I was too annoyed to argue and took a sip. The chai was just disgustingly sweet and not spicy at all. It was disappointing and expensive and I finished drinking it just because it was so expensive, and not because I actually enjoyed it. As for food, my friend and I ordered to share the crab cakes and chai pancakes. Loved the crab cakes, made with jackfruit. I would totally order them again. As for the chai pancakes, they were just okay in my opinion. Ask for the coconut whipped cream on the side because it is pretty sweet. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the dishes they ordered. I didn't get a chance to try any of their desserts but I did eye that they carry the same delicious chocolate cake that Cafe Mosaics has so now I know where to pick up a slice that's closer to home. read more

I was thinking about trying The Moth Cafe when I was visiting Edmonton last time but I didn't have a chance.

Sometimes it is so incredibly hard to write a review for a restaurant you love but could not frequently afford. While visiting family and friends in Edmonton, I rented an Airbnb that, happy coincidence, was less than a block away from The Moth! As a 95% or so vegan living in BC, I didn't expect such a fantastic vegan cafe while back in my home province. I have to say this right up front: best vegan brownie I have ever tasted in my life and maybe even the best brownie I have ever tasted in my life. Absolutely incredible. I could go there just to brownies and be blissed out. I tried various things on their menu over the couple of days I was in town and all tasted quite good though I found the portions small for the price. A sandwich and a drink will run you around $20. One of the veggie pies is just under $10 but hardly satisfying unless you eat fairly light... 2 would make a better meal, but then your overall cost goes up again. I treated myself to some kombucha, which I enjoyed very much. Their presentation was excellent, the place is avsolutely beautiful, and I highly highly recommend The Moth if you are vegan in Edmonton. read more

Okay, here it is. One thing I have to give them is that they are very consistent in their plate. The first 7 time I went, I had the bahn mí and every time it was delicious and affordable. ($10) My last visit, I went for some variety. And of course it was a dish that seemed like a good bargain. The spaghetti, meatball and avocado toast. Can't go wrong with so much stuff in my plate and boy was I right!! Nicely done, especially the chilli flake on the avocados. On the flip side, drinks are not affordable. I can't seem to see the value in a $12 5 sip cocktail. But then again they have some Dieu Du Ciel. Can't complain. Here's to hoping they won't increase they price like buddy cafe mosaics. read more

I absolutely adore the aesthetic of The Moth. Hard to get to and find parking sometimes, but worth it. It's very warm and inviting. I've been a couple times and tried to order different dishes. The Breakfast Bowl and Chai Pancakes are both quite flavourful and filling. Their take on green onion "cake" was delicious and I will always go back for the raw key lime cheesecake and coconut chai energia. I will say that the prices for drinks are quite steep. I understand the need to cover costs of the milk, but 7.50 for a latte is quite steep. I also find charging for to go boxes odd as it means you have to pay not to waste food. My only other comment is that there are very few filling options that are friendly to people with nut allergies. read more

The food was great but I won't go again. we had to order online off the menu (they had to bring a paper menu over anyways for us to scan) and it took 7 mins to get through that. My girlfriends and I ordered at the same time and I had to ask where my chai was, it arrived 20 mins after order was placed and my friends were almost done their drinks. Water glass was filled once and I couldn't get the water girl's attention. I also ordered a meal to go and the online ordering would not allow it to be a second transaction so it looked like I ordered double pancakes on my bill, so I had to tell staff to disregard the extra drink and pancake order. I get they may be trying to keep their staff safe but in actuality if they had just taken a verbal meal order it would have been punctual and accurate. After you are done your meal you have to sort your dishes into bins, and I touched someone else's dirty dishes...I went here for my birthday and to get a break from my being busy at home (as I hardly go out during the pandemic) and this is not the place to relax. I had to orchestrate my own service. It Felt like they were going to ask me to wash dishes too. I won't go back. read more

Let's get something straight- I am not a vegan. I love a good steak. The Moth along with other vegan restaurants in Edmonton have proved to me that vegan food is delicious. My friend and I both ordered the crab cake Benny with spicy hash, which is actually not crab but jackfruit but resembles the shape and texture of crab. It doesn't taste like crab (a win in my books) and was super flavourful all around. Every bit of this meal was really good. Service was good, interior is clean and bright and earthy.. I just loved it all. 5 stars because I have no complaints and 100% recommend them and will be back. read more

Big fan of this place. Sometimes super busy, but the food is always tasty and I appreciate their mission!

I wanted to love this place, I really did. It was on my "to try" list for a very long time. I finally went ... the wait was about 20 minutes or so which I don't mind for good food. The interior is cozy & cute, I love the deco. Upon entering, it took roughly 10 minutes for one of the 3 servers to even make eye contact with myself & my friend. There was more than one opportunity for either of the 3 ladies to give me a quick "I'll be right there". When one server finally came over she was bland & never smiled once. They have some larger tables that can seat quite a few people, and instead of seating us right away next to some people we don't know, we waited 25 minutes ... and then ended up seating us in that spot next to strangers that was empty the whole time. Another 10 minutes went by before we even received water, which I had to ask for. Our server never once asked us if we'd like anything other than water to drink. My friend ordered the curry pot pie which was good but nothing crazy. I had the crab cake benny which was absolutely to die for! Probably the best benny I've ever had. Unfortunately the service was shit. I'm wondering if they were just having an off day because most of the reviews are great. I would have given this 5 stars if it wasn't for the crappy attitude from both servers I dealt with. read more

Today my daughter took me to The Moth Cafe for lunch. The restaurant was bright and open. They had extensive menu with lots of gluten free options.

Moth Spaghetti, Taro Risotto, Pulled Jackfruit Enchilada, Qi | Energy + Protein, Coconut Chai Energia Been "trying" to eat healthier and what better place than a plant based cafe. Naturally got the Moth Spaghetti because it sounded like Mom's Spaghetti. It had wheat spaghetti and sundried tomato sauce, tofu mushroom meatballs, nut cheese, and fresh basil served with avocado garlic toast. This dish carried some heat to it, and tasted pretty good. Mushroom meatballs were tasty as well and gave a good illusion of an actual meat meatball. The spaghetti though, idk, didn't seem like wheat, looked too pale to be a wheat noodle imo haha. But whatever I barely cook. Taro Risotto is an addition to their regular menu because it was penciled on the bottom of the menu. This dish had salted and caramelized shiitake mushrooms. It was tasty as well. Much like most taro dishes you need alot of taro to really get the taste, so a spoonful of risotto here might not give you the flavor you desire but overall really tasty with the mushrooms. Pulled Jackfruit Enchilada had jackfruit based savoury filling wrapped in a baked tortilla and marinated in mole sauce and served with tofu sour cream and leafy green salad. The jackfruit itself gave had a good texture that went well with the rest of the dish, lots of flavors working well here. The drinks here were pretty good as well, didn't try the chai, but the qi energy protein thing I had was served in hot lemon water and fucking kept me up till 1am, idk what's actually in that drink. Located on the east side of Jasper ave, Moth Cafe is a good addition to this area. It actually seems out of place for the area but putting nice establishments in these neighborhoods bring other nice establishments. SimCity logic. Service was good and the interior is very bright and chilled out. It's basically a living representation of an IG photo. Sal says: Just try it (3.5/5) Khadija says: Decent food, good vibe, I'd probably go back for one of their (oh so many, maybe too many??) hot drinks Dan says: atmosphere was great, portions were a good size, some good heat to (jackfruit) dish, but not amazing read more

It's wonderful to see another vegan restaurant in Edmonton. I've visited Moth twice for lunch. Tried the enchilada on my first visit - it was hearty and delicious. The next time I had the lemongrass vermicelli bowl and it was equally as good. I would have given it 5 stars based on the food but the service was a bit hit and miss (especially when it came time to get the bill) and the restaurant was on the loud side. read more
