KaSpace is so disorientingly exhilarating. When you first enter, it's easy to mistake it for a…read morehigh-end boutique (with its beauty products on display) or posh spa (with its soothing music and a fragrant smell that lingers in the air). It's only when you see the menu board and coffee / baked goods bar that you get confirmation that, yes, this is the right place and yes, they do serve food. Once we got our bearings, we zeroed in on our meal and got: - Kevin's Breakfast: If it's named after the owner (who makes it himself), you've got to try it. This was scrambled eggs, tempeh bacon, hashbrown and salad served in what can be described as a high-end tupperware container. Well executed standard breakfast fare. - Ackee Brunch: Loved this. Jamaican scrambled ackee with peppers, plantains, hashbrown and salad, we were warned by Kevin that it could be spicy. It was, but in the best way - flavourful, tasty, a good kick to the tastebuds. - Carrot Cake: This might possibly be my most favourite carrot cake in the city. I don't know how else to describe it but to say it tasted like Christmas. - Banana Bread: OMG so good! The banana bread itself was moist, but it's the coconut (?) cream cheese icing that put it over the top. - Lychee Cactus Pear juice: Refreshing, not overly sweet, strong lychee flavour. Kevin and Iyana are so welcoming, creating a space that makes you feel calm and open. Sounds a bit dramatic, yes. And the more cynical side in me might say KaSpace is pretentious and overpriced. But you know what? That's its beauty and power: it fills you with such a positive vibe that you can't help but enjoy yourself while you're there. Part tummy-filler, part experience-maker, definitely recommend paying KaSpace a visit.

Made with love, these vegan and vegetarian dishes hit the spot and warm the soul. Even the customers are friendly and welcoming! There is a cozy seating area in the basement that holds about 6 people. Go early if you want a seat. I'm sure their takeout is just as tasty! I know I'll be back. So, I'll see you there. :)

We got the Chanterelle fried rice, the mapo tofu and the mushroom and choysum dumplings. The fried rice was good, had a light flavour and a lot of egg (beware vegans). The mushrooms added a nice texture to the dish. The mapo tofu was my favourite dish - the rich sauce had a nutty flavour, and a complex spice to it. Paired with rice it was incredible. I wasn't sure what to expect from vegetable dumplings but I was pleasantly surprised as well - the veggies inside had a nice crunch to it, and while it didn't have a strong flavour, paired with the vinegar on the side it was pretty good. Overall the food is good, albeit rather expensive for vegetarian - the chanterelle fried rice was $18, and the portion wasn't even particularly large. Despite it, the mapo tofu really was spectacular so I still would recommend and come back to try some other dishes.

I feel that the price point is actually very reasonable given the portions and quality of ingredients. A disclaimer that I've only tried their noodle dishes and not the sushi (I do like my seafood haha), but these are fantastic - rich in flavour without being overwhelmed with salt and sugar (the typical fallbacks for vegan food). Highly recommend the truffle fried rice and the Singapore noodles! The fact that the food seems to be relatively healthy (at least psychologically...) is of course a plus as well. The interior is fairly upscale, the dim lighting and elegant decor contributing to a muted but lovely ambiance. I do love a place that allows you to have a conversation at normal volumes! Service is always excellent without fail, the staff is helpful but not overbearing. A must for anyone who's vegan, vegan-curious, or simply searching for some great food in beautiful surroundings!

It has a clean, almost cafeteria feel which doesn't do a lot for the experience but at least provides confidence in the food quality.

They advertise "Wheatless and Meatless" so as well a gluten free baked goods they offer many alternatives to popular brunch staples like bacon and eggs. I had the Breakfast Bowl, a beautiful medley of guacamole, pico de gallo, sweet potato, roasted mushroom, organic kale, black beans and tofu eggs. It was delicious. Have to admit, not exactly sunny side up eggs over a couple of slices of bacon, but it did taste great and I actually felt good afterwards. My daughter had the avocado toast which was served on a seed and oat toast. Spectacular dish, really tasty and gorgeous! I'm a black tea drinker and an added bonus is that they serve one of the best I've had (other than in my own kitchen). Will definitely be back, and they cater so next time you need to serve a lot of vegetarian celiacs you'll know who to call!
