Got the jackfruit nachos w/ vegan queso and a cup of tomato soup w/ half vegan grilled cheese. Everything was delicious. I was apprehensive about the vegan queso, but it is so delicious. The nacho portion was huge. Easily a sharable entree for 2 people. The cup of soup and half grilled cheese makes a great meal for 1 person if you’re not super hungry. Staff was friendly and helpful. I like the vibe of the place too. It’s refreshing to visit a place that has so many options for vegans and omnis.

Got a vegan red curry macaroni and cheese here for a lunch out with my mother. I really like their attentiveness to cleanliness here with their menus and tables. I enjoyed the red curry Mac and cheese enough and would like to come back and try out some other vegan dishes.

We checked out the new Beer Vault at Venti’s Cafe. The art deco-inspired lighting highlights a cozy place for a beer or two. There are a few appetizers that one can order unique to the vault. But the full Venti’s menu is available as well.

Another stop on my taco journey and they did not disappoint. I got the vegan jackfruit tacos and omg, yum! They had a kick but it was a good hurt that cleared up my sinuses. I saw a flyer that there’s a taco crawl in early May that I wish I was in town for, so check that out if you’re local. Service was excellent, tacos were bomb, and I liked the vibe. I’ll definitely be back.

Thai Peanut bowl and a Moroccan salad. So delicious! Love eating here because my meals always taste really good but I also feel good after eating them. Such a great balance of savory and healthy!

I ordered a tomato basil soup and half grilled cheese sandwhich. Overall, it was good. Soup was chucky but tasted good. Grilled cheese was excellent. It was clean and friendly staff. Lots of tables, and they have outdoor covered tables, too.

First time enjoying their spicy taters and farmer’s burger. Delicious, plentiful offering, loaded with juicy meat and flavourful filling. Dining here was especially nice as it was a slow afternoon and the dining room was either crowded nor noisy. (Their dining room was also quite spacious and comfortable.)
