Vegan Dine-In
Our restaurant offers a complete plant-based dining experience with hot buffet options and made-to-order meals. The menu features globally inspired dishes using organic ingredients, with careful attention to balanced nutrition through the six fundamental flavors. Diners enjoy our sustainably sourced reclaimed wood furniture and inclusive atmosphere that accommodates various dietary needs.
Climate-Positive Coffee
We serve Victoria's first Certified Climate-Positive Coffee through our partnership with Climate Wave Coffee. This specialty coffee service goes beyond carbon neutrality by actively capturing 300 grams of greenhouse gases per cup through direct climate action at origin. Our coffee production also conserves approximately 100 liters of fresh water per cup, supporting indigenous communities in coffee-growing regions.
Artisan Gelato
Our handcrafted gelato collection features plant-based milk alternatives including coconut, almond, and oat milk. We use organic agave syrup as a low-glycemic sweetener to create creamy frozen desserts with unique flavor combinations. The menu includes both classic and innovative options like Moose Tracks, Tiger Tail, and seasonal specialty flavors made with fresh local ingredients.
Plant-Based Products
Our on-site production facility creates artisan vegan foods including organic tofu, tempeh, kombucha, and amasake. We use traditional preparation methods with local and organic ingredients to make products suitable for home cooking. These items are available in our restaurant fridge and through retail distribution in local grocery stores across Canada.
Recipe Development
We develop and share plant-based recipes featuring our products, with detailed instructions for home preparation. Our recipe collection includes international dishes that showcase the versatility of plant-based ingredients. Each recipe emphasizes nutritional balance and traditional cooking techniques while providing practical meal solutions for various dietary requirements.

Bit expensive for the buffet, but their vegan shakes/smoothies are fully customizable for no extra money and very competitively priced, great price on the coffee and their desserts are very nice. My favourite is the berry vegan cheesecake. Better then a dairy cheesecake. Decadent but leaves you feeling sated without being bloated or heavy like with most dairy cheesecakes.

I had the buffet, fresh juice and borscht soup. Everything was good, priced reasonably, lots of options to choose from. My friend had a Noodle bowl he said it was good. I will come back for sure.

Just came in for the first time, I'm gluten-free and the staff is so helpful and gave amazing suggestions, I had the quinoa tabouli salad with falafels and tzatziki is amazing! My partner has the soysage roll and the jalapeno Popper pizza and said both were incredible. Then we split a Maui wowie cookies and that was the best cookie I've ever had! Definitely coming back!

This place has amazing vegan food for cheap! The assortment is amazing! Their praline brownies are some of the best I've ever had and I very much love their falafels. Seeing as it is a buffet style restaurant, some dishes are better than others and I have had some instances of food being cold (potato wedges in particular). Other than that, this place is a must for any vegans in Victoria!

Lovely wholesome buffet spread that you can pick and mix, and pay by the weight. Soup we had was a little under seasoned that day.
