    While walking around downtown, my mom and I were craving a small sweet afternoon pick-me-up (as one usually does) and Vegan Pudding fit the bill! We actually walked right by it the first time because of how subtle its window is! It is just a window with a small menu - no sitting or walk-in shop. As someone who is dairy-sensitive, I'm always appreciative of the dairy-free dessert spots. They offer an interesting array of puddings and will add vegan whipped cream for free by request. I got the Earl Grey Tea pudding and it was really delicious. My only qualm with this spot is that the portions are crazy small. You'll be done in just a few spoonfuls. I think it'd be great if they could offer a larger size. They sell them at various local shops too.

    This place caught my eye as I was stopping by to pick up something from Ca Phe. I got the black sesame pudding with black sesame sauce and it was the perfect balance of flavors. Will definitely be back to try some of their other flavors!

    The pudding texture was surprisingly sublime without using egg and cream. With my Asian blood, my favourites are definitely the sesame and hojicha flavours.

    The street front!

    It's the #Vibe. Very friendly & quick service. We got the crème brûlée w/ coconut whip cream and it was superb. Didn't taste like normal crème brûlée but was still very good. Everything here is vegan and gluten free, hard to find this with amazing quality. Highly recommend if you want a quick sweet treat.

    I heard about this place via Yelp and I made it my mission to try it. Being that there is no Uber in Vancouver, I made the long walk to find this place. I walked past it because I didn't realize it was just a stand. Honestly, all I needs to be is stand. I was promptly greeted and given the opportunity to try many flavors. There are soy and soy free options. I settled with the matcha tea. Since I was walking back to the hotel, I was given an ice pack which is nice. Overall, the pudding was flavorful and unique. I was I had bought some additional flavors, but oh well. I'm happy I gave it a try. I'm hoping something like this opens by me soon!

    The matcha + black sesame sauce!

    A little window in downtown is where I was taken to as someone thought it would be a good idea to have a treat before an upcoming bad movie, so being a little lost as to where this location is, we eventually found it nicely tucked into a building, no walking space.. this is a window.. that is all it is with two friendly Japanese, and a display case showing 3 flavours! Hard choices, so much to choose... oh.. hmmm what should we have, well on this day all that was there was a double chocolate (nope...), Earl Grey with lemon sauce (maybe...) and Matcha with black sesame sauce (maybe as well.... ), decisions, decisions... we eventually went with the green, I think it's the Asian in us that went to that default, and the pleasant gentleman (which was probably the owner) took it out of the display case and helped us by opening it up, and instead of just opening the sauce, he went for the tube that fills the little sauce portions up, and poured it for us, to limit waste (kudos to you!). The size of these little morsels of sweeteness are about the size of a JELL-O pudding cup (now don't go thinking of Bill Cosby's sweet voice now) these will not haunt you too much, but they may torment you on coming back like the ghost of Christmas past. What was my experience, while practically standing in the cold in front of a filming crew wanting to know what it tasted like.... it was surprisingly smooth, and I had to wonder if I was lucky with the first bite as usually something that is sweet, you would get some sugar type residue, if not some crystalization, but my tongue was pressing along the walls of my mouth, and nothing but pure bliss, disappearing like air after having each little bite. I really wasn't expecting this, no lingering heavy over-sweet effects, just a light treat where I was thinking... maybe I should have another, yet why mess with diminishing returns... and just remember, how odd as this may sound, they are gluten free, and organic... somehow you can hashtag each of these words and the flock of people who are going healthy should be shacked up right in front of here. Whatever sweets they are using... it must be laced with something that resembles a drug, cause I have to say this is good... so now when to have the next flavours?? There's a board that says buy 4 get 1 free.. bring your friends and stand along the curb with your pudding in hand, cause maybe if you don't leave far enough you may order another. I thought they were pounding their own chest when I saw the sandwich board say "Truly Incredible Pudding"... I'm willing to vouch for that!

    Earl grey pudding and chocolate pudding
    Yuri Y.

    If I was vegan I'd be giving this place a 5 for sure but because I'm not, I still prefer the more unhealthy non-vegan version of a pudding :-P I had the earl grey pudding and chocolate pudding, both with the coconut whipped cream. The whipped cream was legit and super tasty. I was impressed. Really curious about the creme brûlée. Also stoked to show this place to all my vegan friends.

    Matcha Pudding!
    Alden S.

    Another one of those hidden gems where you probably would miss it if you weren't actively looking for it. It is pretty much a stand. I tried the matcha pudding with coconut whipped cream. It was so delicious and creamy. Loved the texture. The only reason why I gave this four stars was because i had wanted to get some the other day (yesterday) but no one was present to take my order. I noticed there were other customers wanting to order too. We waited 10 or so minutes but to no avail. Anyway, I am glad I came back and gave it a chance. The food and service is good (when someone is actually there to take your order). ;) Will definitely be coming back!

    creme brûlée pudding
    Emily S.

    Really inventive and enjoyable take on pudding. I just wish their creme brûlée was a larger size for the price.

    Black sesame pudding and crème brûlée!
    Nina B.

    Delicious pudding! Sweet owner! Vegan vegan vegan! What else do you need to know? Ok, it is a tiny window walk up place, so you cannot sit down, but you can eat and walk or you can buy the powders to make pudding at home.

    Small size.  No sauce.  THIS IS A MISTAKE GET THE SAUCE.
    Danielle L.

    As a somewhat recent convert to the dairy free, gluten free, refined sugar free lifestyle (funny how the declining frequency of my Yelp reviews has coincided with this lifestyle change), I find it hard to find treats that I can eat. I was skeptical, but Vegan Pudding Company has won me over - so much so that I find myself looking for excuses to meet people downtown so I can stop by and have a treat here! The pudding is made from kombucha squash and coconut milk, so most of the flavours (with the exception of the strawberry) have a sort of dark yellowy colour to them that some will find off-putting. It's also white-sugar free. There are a variety of base flavours, from earl grey and chocolate to vanilla, matcha and black sesame. The pudding itself is almost custard like, smooth, and a teeny bit gelatinous. If you order a medium-and-up, the puddings come with paired sauces. This is a mistake I made the first time: I ordered a small coffee pudding, assuming it came with the double-chocolate sauce - it didn't. While the pudding was OK on its own, the sauce makes it reaalllly decadent, so order up: get the medium! My favourite flavour combinations so far are the coffee with double chocolate sauce and the early grey with a lemon-caramel sauce. So, so, yummy. This place is just a little hole in the wall that you can walk up to on Richards Street. I was delighted to find out that you can also buy their products at Greens in Kits, and also at Pomme, in the West End, so not to worry if you can't get to their stand, or if you want to stock up to have some treats on hand at home. A nice environmental note: the containers the puddings come in are fully compostable. So really, what's to feel guilty about?! Healthy (ish), OK for the environment (ish)...yup, I'm a fan.

    An entire establishment committed to making the best vegan pudding!!! Right next door to indigo cafe, this little gem has a variety of flavors, we tried the black sesame and matcha. Don't forget to add the coconut whip cream, this little dessert is indulgent and creamy without using dairy (hooray)! It's a pick up counter and there are rotating flavors daily. I wish I ordered all of the flavors, they even have pint vegan ice creams available. Everyone needs to try this now, it is absolutely worth the trip!

Ok ok, what's better than driving to Canada to eat vegan food, I'll tell you .. driving to Canada to eat vegan food while meeting new vegan friends! We decided to meet up at Mila Plant-Based, 100% vegan restaurant in the downtown area sort of right in-between Downtown Eastside, Science World, and Gastown. The restaurant has a lovely, quaint ambiance, feels very welcoming upon entering. The bathroom was .. well, posh! I don't normally make a point to comment on bathroom decor, while average in size, I felt like I was being upgraded to First Class lol. Ok, moving right along .. lol They have two menus, a Weekend Brunch Menu and, for all other hours, a Lunch/Dinner Menu, ..we ordered from the Weekend Brunch Menu. I had the Bibimbap Bowl - rice bowl with Yo Egg, mushroom bacon, kimchi, tempura yam, cucumber, carrot, gochujang sauce. This bowl had many layers of unique flavors all married perfectly in every exquisite bite, I say this very sincerely! My wife ordered the Pina Colada Pancakes - pancakes, toasted coconut syrup, cashews, cocktail cherries, rum-candied pineapple, mint. Each bite easily lived up to the the decadence displayed in the included image. We absolutely have to find our way back to Mila to try their Lunch/Dinner menu as it includes some amazing sounding options such as, Feta Stuffed Date - date, feta, pistachio, olive oil, maldon salt, ABURI LOX OSHI - carrot lox, aburi sauce, shiso, serrano, 6 pieces, Tuna Crispy Rice - watermelon akami tuna, sushi rice, lime kewpie mayo, green onion, sesame seeds, 3 pieces, and much more. We had quite a few options to choose from regarding where to meet for brunch, with every option sounding wonderful in their own way. Ultimately, we decided on Mila because of their unique, fresh and inspiring sounding dishes and yeah, they did not disappoint. Thanks so much for dropping by and reading this review. Do yourself a favor and extend the same courtesy to Mila by ... dropping by .. and enjoying some amazing tasty food.

The restaurant was decorated nicely, but nothing remarkable so I was surprised by the presentation of the food!

I had the Freaky Greeky with a yam-cassava crust. I chose that since the menu board boasted it's vitamin and mineral content. Sold!!! It had (what I assume was) Daiya Mozzarella and Cashew style feta, black olives, tomatoes, basil and walnuts. I have to say that the walnuts were the most pleasant surprise of the toppings. An added crunch and some true delicious flavor!! The crust, being GF and the specific ingredients, led it to be quite crunchy, but I love crunchy crusts. I hadn't had lunch but a few hours prior so I had half the pizza at dinner, than half before bed after drinks! Yum!!! My husband had the Samsara Sausage pizza. He said it was just okay. He said the sausage tasted like a Light life Hot Dog. Which is obviously NOT what you're going for with sausage. Our friends shared the Buffalo Buddha pizza and gave hubby their last piece. He said that was quite nice and he'd have had that again. They too had the GF Yam-cassava crust. I'd definitely get this pizza again but I would NOT walk here and preferably be in a group for safety.

The Garden Rolls were absolutely the #1 worst ones we've ever eaten! We've had hundreds of fresh rolls at dozens of places and sadly, none were as tasteless as these. They consisted of noodles, a bit of flavorless tofu and cucumber. Fresh rolls MUST have at least one or more of the following: fresh mint, fresh cilantro or fresh Thai Basil. Hestia's had NONE!. To add insult to injury, the watery sauce also had NO flavor. To add more insult, they were baggy and poorly wrapped and the innards kept falling out. Not fun and definitely not good. The king oyster mushrooms were very good, but there was a ton of pink mayo dousing it. I would have preferred the sauce be in a separate bowl so we could choose how much dipping we'd like to do. The saffron tofu bowl was sensational! Perfectly spiced and full of a huge variety of well-cooked veggies plus the saffron rice was good too. No one came during our meal to ask if we needed anything or to ask how our meal was. The customer service is in need of some work.

    Wow! First of all, vegan sushi spots are still an uncommon find so the fact this exists is such a…read moretreat. In the Bay Area we have Shizen/Tane and which I can safely say are still pretty different from Vegan Shoku. (Both are so good!!). Vegan Shoku uses konjac-based sashimi which allows for sashimi and nigiri that looks like its conventional fish counterparts. Today, we ordered 1. Salmon Eggplant This reminded me of nasu dengaku but with a "salmon salad" (think tuna salad) on top of charred eggplant. There was a miso sauce, the same that's used for nasu dengaku dressing the entire thing. The eggplant was creamy but not oil-laden, and the salmon worked nicely with the eggplant and miso dressing. Every bite was perfection. Each bite was garnished with fried carrot strings and beet. Sooooo good! 2. Shoku Roll We figured we should definitely order this since it's the restaurant's namesake. Since it was topped with mango & a popping boba, it had a hint of sweetness which was refreshing. 3. Dynamite Roll Absolutely gorgeous roll that packed as much flavor as it did color. The sweet, savory, creamy and crunchy.... this roll takes you on a journey and more! 4. Teriyaki Beef Roll Don't ask questions, just order this! It's like a beef donburi in roll form. 5. Salmon Nigiri I've never been a fan of seafood so this was a bit of a risky pick. Sure enough, it was too realistic for me so I had to hand it off to my bf to finish. For those who love and miss the taste of salmon, this is a must try! 6. Takoyaki While this looked like takoyaki, it definitely wasn't. They were still tasty but they were more like meatballs than anything. Takoyaki is supposed to have chunks of octopus (which when I make it at home, I use konyaku), shredded cabbage, ginger in a savory pancake-like batter cooked in a ball-shaped cast iron mold, topped with aonori, mayo and brown sauce. The meatballs were in a brown sauce of some kind and were incredibly robust and meaty. They were too meaty for my liking (some mock meats sort of gross me out!) but that's more of a preference thing and doesn't speak to the quality. It was very flavorful, it just wasn't for me. 7. Matcha Ice cream The ice cream looked like it was slice from a cake! Maybe they peeled back the paper carton of the ice cream and cut a slice from that. It looked super surgical and clean, like art! The flavor was super robust and matcha-y. It was not the typical (disappointing) green-colored ice cream that tasted mostly of vanilla and had hints of match. This was the real deal! What a rare find! It extremely pricey but it more than made up for all the times I've ordered green-colored matcha imposter ice creams, so get this if you are a matcha lover! Being how uncommon these types of restaurants are, the server was super patient in answering my questions and was helpful in making suggestions too. If I find myself in BC in the future, you can bet I'll be making another stop in here to try other items on their menu. This was such a treat!!

I had a Plant…read moreCurious BOGO deal too so I was able to use that for a couple of Oshi sushi orders.  The food wasn't bad but honestly not as good as I had hoped. I think there was a bit too much rice used in the sushi. Smaller amounts of rice would have been preferred. Also, we found that the Salmon Avocado Oshi tasted just like the Tuna Avocado Oshi. Either that, or they gave us two identical sushi orders by mistake instead of 1 Salmon Avocado Oshi and 1 Tuna Avocado Oshi. I was kinda bummed that they didn't have their vegan spam that day. Hoping to go back some other day and try it. If it weren't for the vegan spam though, I probably wouldn't bother coming back to this restaurant again. Pains me to say that as I'm usually a huge supporter of plant based restaurants but...this restaurant was really just OK for me. Not horrible, but aside from wanting to try their vegan spam...the food just wasn't good enough for me to want to come back again.

The venue is nice and big and airy, with the 2 walls of solid windows. Great for people watching. The place is definitely modern and hipster looking. Maybe because it was a slow day, but staff were a bit lacking. Buddy and I walked in there and the place was empty. We looked around for a few minutes and literally nobody showed up. It was only after we had left and taken a few steps before someone suddenly appeared and motioned for us to come back inside. Although my buddy insisted the place sold burgers, something looked off. I also noticed the sign advertising "fysh tacos". The menu also listed a "chick'un burger". Confirmed with the waitress that the place is indeed 100% vegan. Oops. Oh well, we're here. Might as well give them a try. The chick'un burger is actually a slice of mushroom that has been battered and fried like fried chicken. Not sure if this is supposed to be the case, but the mushroom itself was actually quite bitter. Fortunately the batter masked the taste. The fries are pretty decent here. I also tried the Crispy BBQ burger. This thing tastes more like the run of the mill vegan patties out there in supermarkets. I think it was soy/tofu based. Interestling enough, the burgers actually have a Beyond upgrade for an additional fee, so I imagine the standard burger patties are made in house. I guess the place is worth checking out if one is vegan, but for those who aren't, there unfortunately isn't much for us here. I did hear the coffee here is pretty decent though. Maybe I'll give it a try next time.

    As the weather gets warmer, I am craving something fresh and refreshing. After browsing the menu, I…read morewas convinced the mango salad was exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, the menu doesn't have side dishes, so I ended up ordering the lemongrass vermicelli along with a guava juice instead. The guava juice was a bit of a surprise--not quite the freshly made tropical drink I had imagined. It turned out to be the same bottled guava juice you can easily find at the grocery store, just served in a glass and at restaurant prices. Then my lemongrass vermicelli arrived, and the server warned me to be careful because it was very hot. That definitely caught me off guard! When I think of vermicelli bowls, I picture cool noodles, crisp vegetables, fragrant herbs, and a refreshing meal perfect for a sunny day. This version was served piping hot, making it feel more comforting than refreshing. That said, the dish was still packed with flavour. The fragrant lemongrass aroma filled the bowl, the vegetables added plenty of texture, and the savoury components came together nicely. It just wasn't the light, cooling meal I had originally set my heart on when I walked in, dreaming about mango salad on a warm day.

    Chapeau to the folks at Folke! First timers at Folke and we were blown away by not only the…read moreincredible food, but also the wonderful service. A big thank you to Mallory and the kitchen staff! This review is 3 months late, but even a few months later, we remember our meal like it was yesterday and can't wait to return the next time we're in Vancouver. Getting to experience a Michelin Guide-recommended vegan restaurant was one of the highlights of our trip! We had (from the June 2025 menu): the Bread, the Broccolini, the Chickpea Tofu, and the Potato Cavatelli. Not a single crumb, morsel, drizzle of sauce, or even pea was left on the plates! Every bite was so full of flavor and decadent, we were so sad when the meal was over ;) The stand-out though was the Chickpea Tofu, the best tofu we've ever had and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. We also loved sitting at the bar that overlooks the open kitchen. They offer those seats for guests who want a more immersive, interactive dining experience. It was really cool to watch the chefs create each masterpiece. Overall a truly memorable and delicious experience!

    Yum yum YUM!! We are not vegan but we loved every single thing we tried!…read more The bread was phenomenal and perfectly crusted and fluffy. The beet tartare was great with the hazelnuts. Broccoli and zucchini had such amazing sauces on them and OMG spaghettini was phenomenal. MUST order Service was pleasant and quick! They helped with suggestions and I appreciated the explanation when each dish came out. Lovely space inside and had a nice little corner to carry on lovely conversation. Would go back again -- and soon! They change their menu every few weeks.
