Why would a vegan cafe use disposable cutlery and crockery?

This place is frustrating because it could be so great! The selection of drinks is great, the staff are friendly, the location is excellent and they are entirely vegan - but balance this against their over-reliance on disposable tableware and a dip in quality on some of their food items. We ordered two smoothies, two cakes and a hot samosa. The smoothies were served in plastic containers and the food in styrofoam take-out boxes, even though we sat inside the cafe.

I really love the effort Buddha-Full is going to, we need more vegan options in North Vancouver and they offer a great menu, have lovely staff and a great location - I just think they should reconsider their use of disposable products and perhaps improve the cafe itself to encourage more people to eat in.

Pros: Smoothies, Staff, Location

Cons: Disposable products, Tired decor

Smoothies, Tonics & Raw Desserts

This is a counter service smoothie bar / cafe. I had an amazing vegan gluten-free raw tiramisu bar from this place. I want to have it everytime I go by. The smoothies and tonics are good too. I had a nice warm rishi mushroom drink and a banana coco smoothie. They use hemp hearts for vegan protein and the staff are really really friendly.

Pros: Raw Tiramisu, Super friendly staff, Health tonics

Cons: Everything served in to-go boxes

Amazing cookies

Ordered a smoothie and shared 3 cookies - pumpkin spice, birthday cake flavour & cinnamon bun flavour. The cinnamon bun cookie was INCREDIBLE. I don't usually leave reviews but I couldn't not it was so good 🤤 Smoothie was also huge for the price. Highly recommend!!

Great cafe

Healthy vibe with juices, smoothies, raw food, fresh bowls, refined sugar-free desserts and gluten-free baked goods. Open air seating.

Great Food

Great food but sometimes inconsistent. But easily the best wraps you will find anywhere. Seating can be difficult and always frustrating seeing employees taking up the minimal amount of space available working on laptop, etc. Otherwise, this is bar non one of our go-to vegan spots on the North Shore

Pros: Great sauces, Great wraps, Ummm… the cinnamon rolls!

Cons: Seating bleak, Parking “okay”, Cinnamon roles sell out fast

Tasty wraps & sweets

We stopped in for lunch and it was pretty tasty! I enjoyed the wrap I ordered, the salad was ok. But honestly the best things here are the yummy baked goods! We will be back for more of them ☺️

Cons: Expensive , Small space

Amazing baked goods!

I only got 2 of the cookies but they were good enough to warrant a review. One was chocolate and one was lemon and they both had an awesome center filling that blew me away.

I wish had more of an appetite because all their stuff looks good so I’ll definitely be back to sample other stuff asap!

Pros: Lots of options, Lovely staff, Great vibe

SO GOOD! We will be back!

The Bohemian Soul had the perfect combination! The right amount of sauce, bright flavor, not over-powered by rice, and wonderful raw vegetables! The Berry Bliss bowl was also amazing! I loved it! My FAVORITE thing -- "Heart Beet." Beets, Strawberries, Raspberries, and Pineapple! It was so delicious! I will find a way to come back to Vancouver for this perfect combination of health!

Lovely place!

Delicious bowls, wraps and smoothies (which are huge!). They also have some sweets and cookies, but I was all full after a bowl and a smoothie.

Fresh and tasty

I had the fiesta wrap recently and really enjoyed it. It was tasty and filling. The side salad was just ok. I had the Pumpkin Latte as well and it was underwhelming as there really was no pumpkin flavour. I say that as a real pumpkin user and an avoider of the overly sweet Starbucks style versions. Price is a bit on the high side and service is pretty slow.

Pros: Vegan, Nice atmosphere, Friendly service

Cons: Expensive, Slow

Decent

This very busy cafe has some decent stuff on the menu and in house Kombucha which may be the best thing there. I usually have a panini melt - I forget what they call it - which is just ok - not amazing at all. It comes with a salad that has a mediocre dressing...
You could take 1/3 off their prices and it would still be expensive. If it was as delicious as some of the other vegan places in Vancouver, then maybe the price would be worth it. They need to up their game... the wave of amazing vegan restaurants in Vancouver is here!

Pros: All Vegan, One of a few Vegan spots on North Shore

Cons: Way too expensive for what it is.

Absolutely delicious!!

Stopped here one day for lunch while working. Was very impressed! I had to apologize to my coworker because I wanted to lick out the container holding the miso sauce! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 also tried the Buddha Buzz smoothie and it was really good and perfect for a warm day. Highly recommend!

Pros: Lots of smoothie options, Lots of vegan options

Delicious!

I had the chia energy cup, it was amazing!! 10/10, I also had a bowl with added tempeh and it too was delicious! My husband had juice and enjoyed it, but the first 3 items he ordered off their menu they didn’t have so he was disappointed.

Pros: Delicious , Plant based 👍, Friendly service

Cons: Expensive , Don’t stock all menu items, A little skimpy on the added tempeh
