Pure Kitchen Elgin

Delicious wholesome spot! A great casual spot for gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan food. I chose the awesome burger and cheesecake, both were delicious and super pleased with the allergen free options. A little on the pricey side especially with modifications, but still super enjoyable! There was only 1 server helping the whole floor, but she was very warm and attentive.

For brunch today I enjoyed the Snooze Loaded Potato Pillows and holy cow, these potatoes are FIRE. They're crunchy on the outside and silky in the middle. All the flavors they managed to pack into the hearty bowl worked so well together and I left satisfied. I typically leave brunch feeling over-full but it was the perfect amount of food. Also the chai here is soooooooo gooood I considered getting another cup. Everything was yummers 10/10! Awesome service too. Thanks a lot :)

I heard good things about this restaurant and I had vegetarian options so I thought I would check it out. Overall, it was decent, but the service was a bit lacking. I had the ignite bimbap bowl, I enjoyed it. I found the kimchi quite nice. But I would’ve liked some more tofu. It may be a bit more variety in the bowl. My partner had the Tempeh sandwich and thought it was OK but nothing special. I would attribute the slow service to them probably being quite busy, but would recommend they have more servers. A decent option for vegetarians and vegans.

I had a great experience with their service! I arrived 10 minutes early to pick up my order, and they brought it out to me within just a couple of minutes. The place has a lovely atmosphere, and the food was absolutely delicious!

This vegetarian restaurant is fantastic! The food is delicious and prepared relatively quickly, and the staff are polite and provide excellent service. Although it's a bit on the pricey side, the high-quality ingredients make it worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner here. Even if you're not vegetarian, I highly recommend giving it a try—you’ll love the food, especially the crunch wrap. Awesome place!

Was craving a healthy and yummy lunch and they delivered. The server was great as well. Just wished the patio had a plant or something for a nicer ambience.

Had a great time at Pure Kitchen Elgin for lunch today. The staff were amazing and the food was even better, for a great price. The cauliflower wings are a must!

First time trying this place. Heard a lot about it so I was ready for anything. I ordered a juice, the cauliflower wings and the noodle bowl. Service was great. Our server was very nice and always checked in on us during lunch. Atmosphere - well the place is a bit blah inside with very little decor but the outside patio would have been a great option if the afternoon sun had subsided a bit more. After 2 pm the patio is in shade so I would suggest outside if the weather is nice. Food. Well the juice I ordered was amazing. But pretty hefty for $12 for a medium glass… but I felt it was worth it. The cauliflower wings were really good, but after about 7-8, all you can taste is the cauliflower, even with all the sauces offered (we got them on the side), so share plate for sure. Would not want to eat those all myself The noodle bowl was not great. Completely inundated with peanuts and peanut sauce. The rice noodles ended up mushy and the only solid component in the dish was the kale…. which given its texture did not go with this “Asian” dish. And the tofu was not grilled enough and was also mushy. I should have stuck something more traditional. But I should have known better. Like ordering pad Thai in a bar… nope. My friend ordered a bean burger and that was delish. Bun was grilled so nicely and the fries were amazing. Should have gone burger. I’m willing to try again, but something chose something else.

Nothing really to write home about, but it's a good place with vegan options and it's got a decent atmosphere.

This Pure Kitchen location on Elgin Street was their second location (they have 5 altogether now). It opened in June 2016 where Maxwell's Bistro and Club used to be. It's fairly big inside, with a mix of tables (some round, some rectangular), booths and bar seating. The front windows open completely, and in the summer months they open it up, so you can sit inside, but still get some fresh air. Admittedly, I've only ever gotten takeout here. They have a fridge where you can grab stuff to go. They also have a freezer where you can grab frozen stuff to cook at home. It's a vegetarian restaurant. They have mostly wraps, sandwiches and salads. They have lots of cold pressed juices as well. All their menu items have inspirational names like Transformed, Energized, Renewed, etc. I've had most of their wraps, sandwiches and juices and everything is good (except for one juice that had parsley in it, which I thought it was gross, but everything else has been good). Some items are sometimes too salty for my tastes, but sometimes not. I guess it depends on who's making it, lol. My favourite salad is the Transformed Kale Caesar salad. My favourite wrap is the Blissful Burrito. My favourite juice is the Electrify (beet, pineapple, cucumber, apple, lemon and ginger). I love that after eating their food I feel full, but not bloated and gross, lol. Definitely recommend for vegetarian food. It's a bit pricey though. Expect to pay $15+ for a salad/wrap and a 16 oz juice is $10+. Street parking only.

I came to Pure Kitchen Elgin for lunch a while ago. I like the restaurant's setup and the service was good. In terms of food, I tried their Belle Poutine with Cashew and the Detox drink. The poutine was good and had a rich mushroom flavour and the drink tasted very healthy and I'd give it 8.8/10

it's very rare for me to give a 5-star rating. We enjoyed the food here allot more than any other Pure Kitchen or any other vegetarian restaurant. Service is fast and friendly, the food is also fresh and very tasty. If you like vegetarian food I highly recommend this restaurant.

I was hesitant to go to this restaurant in the winter, given that on my visits there last winter the restaurant proved to be very cold, especially at the street-front but even at the back. This visit proved more comfortable temperature-wise, but the restaurant was quiet with the front door opening only a few times. My friend and I each had the Awesome burger with fries. We both really enjoyed the burger but each of us agreed that the patty itself was overwhelmed by the bun and toppings. The fries were overly plentiful, too many too eat, and came with a wonderful, spicy ketchup on the side. I felt bloated afterwards, eating most of the too many fries. In hindsight, fries and salad half and half would have made a lot more sense, if they offer that. The waitress was my real problem. She was not terribly friendly and was rather curt, offering no food or drink suggestions or advice. Maybe she was just having a bad day. But don't take it out on your customers. She did ask if we wanted anything else to go with our meals. I asked for mayonnaise and added "if you have that here" to which she said yes and brought a side of "mayo". At bill time, I was very surprised to see a charge of $1 for a side of veganaise. First of all, did we get veganaise or did we get mayo? And why on earth would a restaurant charge for this fairly standard condiment? Very disappointing in terms of communications and billing. When I commented about the $1 charge, the waitress simply walked away, never to explain, thank us, or to be seen again.

A staple for Ottawa (and visiting) vegans. Their 'Transformed Kale Caesar' is a must try. Staff is always wonderful and friendly. Recently tried the weekend brunch and it was outstanding! Highly recommend if you're looking for a vegan brunch.

This place is an absolute must if you're in the Ottawa area. The food is superb and the prices are what's expected for a nice vegetarian spot. The service and atmosphere is lovely as well.

Came back-- this time with friends-- and I got new food. It was very good! The soup I got was a red lentil Dahl and it had sooooo much flavour. The wrap was great as well, however I couldn't really taste the falafel. This is just personal preference, but I prefer my wraps to be warm and mine was not. My friends all enjoyed their food, except we all came to the agreement that the food was quite pricey. A few of my friends got smoothies and said they were overpriced too. All in all, good food, good experience, but over-priced and relatively slow service.

My niece brought me here on my visit to Ottawa. I love all the vegan and gluten free options!! Service was slow but our server was very sweet and helpful. We ordered the cauliflower starter with both flavours. Buffalo was on the sour and spicy side and the other was a sweeter Asian flavour. I got the burger with cheese on a gf bun and a side of vegan poutine. The meal was huge!! I could have eaten either the burger or poutine only as my meal. The burger came with 2 patties which was not mentioned on the description. I would order it without a bun next time. The poutine was delicious. I wasn't sure how the cashew cheese would taste in it but it was excellent! My niece had the artisanal wrap which also was huge!! I wanted to have that but it only comes on a gluten wrap. She enjoyed it. She got half fries half salad on the side but couldn't finish as the portions were huge. Nice place, good food, lots of options for me:)

Pre-ordered as an excuse to get a bike ride in. When we got there dinner was ready and waiting. Perfect timing! We both ordered The Warrior. The brocollii was perfection with a slight char,, and the falafal was fresh and tasty. (Too often falafal is dried out, Pure's was perfect.) Everything in the dish was delicious. I liked the sauerkraut, but hubs found it too sour, so we were split on that. There is lots of outdoor seating nearby as well as their sidewalk patio. Good service, good food.

Decided to try this cute vegetarian spot on a Thursday night with my friend for dinner and really enjoyed it! We came at a peak time (around 7PM) so the restaurant was completely full but we were lucky to be able to snag the last table without any wait which was a score. The restaurant itself is really cute and even though it's rather small, they've made great use of the space and have a lot of tables. To start, we got the Radical Cauliflower Wings (with korean bbq sauce) to share and it was amazing! The sauce was delicious and it was the perfect size to share for two people. For our mains, I ordered the Fantastic bowl (swapped out the tofu with falafel), and my friend ordered the Liberty Buffalo Cauliflower wrap and we were both really happy with our choices. The prices are a little on the steep end for the portion size that you get, but I'd definitely come back here again!

Great food, list the place and must go for vegan options. I highly recommend this place and the staff are very hospitable.

The Liberty Buffalo Cauliflower Wrap is loaded with all the Buffalo flavoured deliciousness!!! Fried cauliflower, buffalo sauce, ranch, pickles, tomatoes, carrots, greens, all combined to create this amazingly delicious wrap, with an option of fries or salad as the perfect side. This buffalo cauliflower tastes JUST LIKE chicken, if not better! I don't know how they do it, but it's as though you're munching on a real buffalo chicken wrap :3 I'm a meat eater myself, but must I say that this vegan wrap is just so dang delicious and I tell you, even the biggest meat eaters are going to love this wrap!

The menu is quite inventive, although the names of the dishes are eye roll inducing. The food was very tasty. The experience was let down by the slow service and aloof staff

I went here for a dinner with a few friends. The restaurant was really busy as usual but we made a reservation so we didn't have to wait. Highly recommend making reservations for dinner time. Alcohol prices are similar to most place and they don't have a huge selection but have a little of everything. We ordered the dumplings and cauliflower wings as an appetizer. The wings were really good!!!!! Perfectly cooked and highly recommend getting these. We got both Korean bbq and buffalo flavoured and personally I liked the Korean bbq one better but they were both great. I got the fantastic bowl which was a lot like pad Thai and it was delicious. I had enough for 2 meals as I was pretty full after the wings Our server was really nice, and super helpful in terms of suggesting beers and food. Overall it was a really positive experience.

The dumplings and pierogies did quite well in emulating their respective form. The dynamite sauce starts off weird, but immediately settles into a low toned vinegar sauce. He filling is dead on for any Asian meat filling. The dumpling outside could have been crispier for my taste, but there is a little crisp on the edges. The perogies also had a great filling. The dill sour cream was creamy and refreshing. The coconut bacon on top added a great texture. The blt could have been way better. The smoked tempeh was a great bacon substitute. The iceberg lettuce they used had no real crunch and ended up becoming a pile of slop by the end. The bread was limp and ended up mildly soggy by the end of the meal. It's not the worst sandwich, but it's into good either. Its cool that Ottawa has their own veg/vegan restaurant, but it could use some serious improvement to quality of their preparation in food. Most of the menu seems to be a big hit or miss.

Definitely, the place to be for the breakfast - especially if you are vegan. Interestingly, in our 2.5 days stay in Ottawa, this was the only restaurant that we had a great experience with, in Ottawa, - even after checking out many highly rated restaurants (on Google and Yelp). Food: We went for an Espresso and a Golden Milk to start with. Espresso - I must say was heavenly. One of the best I had till date. Golden milk was quite homely and very well made. For the breakfast, we went for Almond Butter Banana Toast and Cheerful BLT. Almond Butter Banana Toast was great in taste - the only problem, the almond butter was very sticky. But I liked the overall feel of the toast. We even replicated it at home the next weekend. Cheerful BLT was quite amazing, They did try to replicate the meat, probably even in terms of smell, which wasn't necessary. But having said that, the sandwich was still very good in taste. I loved the bread that they used. Ambiance: There is a huge variety of seating available - high chairs, table-chairs, booths etc. The best seats would be the street facing - the ones at the end where they remove the glass to not just give the street view but also a street feel. Plenty of space inside. We actually preferred the table in the front section of the restaurant which had natural sunlight coming in - the one with the street feel were all occupied. There are booths and a few tables inside as well but that is all artificial light - not something we have in mind for a breakfast. Staff: The lady attending us- Katelyn - was good and friendly. The service was good and decently fast. Overall, would definitely recommend this place for breakfast. We were just minutes early from their lunch service to start but would definitely come back for that next time we are in Ottawa.

A great vegan restaurant in Ottawa. I've been coming here every day of my trip and I'm trying to try as many things on the menu as I can! Staff is super friendly. Always seated and served promptly. Great ambiance and free WiFi! It's always busy (not so much that it's a long wait or slow service, but just a comment on how popular the food is! Glad to see so many people embracing the plant-based lifestyle. Will continue to come here whenever I'm in Ottawa.

Overall it was a great experience. We went for an afternoon snack. My goal was to convince non-vegans that vegan food is amazing. It was a success. We got the Buffalo Cauliflower Wings and Perogies and shared it. The ranch sauce and the dill sauces that come with these items are so tasty. It compliments the dishes extremely well. Service was very helpful and hospitable. We had some allegies to navigate and the waitress knee her stuff. Great vibes and atmosphere. Comfy booths. I'd like to go back and try more items.

This is a pretty great little vegetarian/vegan place about a 15-20 minute walk from downtown Ottawa. They have a mix of juices, smoothies, sandwiches, bowls, and salads on offer. Cute fresh decor and friendly welcoming service. I had a glass of green juice and a chipotle carrot soup that had a nice kick to it, great on a rainy November night. I also had the walnut mushroom burger, great flavour and texture but just a little too salty for my taste. Great place to grab a casual healthy meal at a reasonable price.

After hearing great reviews about this place, I wanted to try it. I am not a vegetarian so I was skeptical at first but I do enjoy vegan food once in a while. This place does get busy. I went at around 6 p.m. and it was already pack with a few seats left. I ordered take-out to eat back at the hotel which was nearby. I opted with the Dreamer Burger ($17) - it includes a mushroom walnut patty, coconut bacon, pickled jalapeños, cashew cheese, fried onions and bbq mango sauce. It comes with a side and I opted for fries. The burger was done in about 10 minutes and off I went. The burger was really good. The fried onions, jalapeños and the coconut bacon really stood out in terms of taste. I didn't really taste mushroom walnut patty but it had a good texture - like real meat. I also didn't really taste the BBQ mango sauce, but it didn't bother me that much. If you are looking for a spicy and crispy tasting burger (sans meat) this is the one to go for. The fries were good as well. The ketchup was homemade and tasted very natural. They also offer Kombucha on tap in the morning, which I didn't get to try but it sounds VERY intriguing. Other people who stopped by this place ordered their shakes and juices. I would def. come back and try their other burgers/wraps when I come back to Ottawa.

The service was really impressive, they were so lovely. Pure Kitchen has a system in place where they have on of your party's contact information therefore if there was an outbreak then we'd be contacted. I ordered the Walnut Mushroom Burger with a side of salad and it was super filling, I highly recommend & for what you're receiving I don't think the price was unreasonable at all ! Thank you so much :)

Cute decor, great food and juices, not too expensive, perfect for a weekend lunch with friends! Enjoyed it very much. PS: the staff wear tshirts with rly cute puns that made me happy

Had a great visit here with family visiting from out of town in spring of 2019 and would definitely go back. Don't let construction in the neighbourhood hold you back. The staff are super-professional, and the food is very flavourful and is served quickly. There is something for everyone on the lunch menu. Also a favourite spot for a great espresso or a vegan smoothie after sports!

Had an unbelievable lunch here today! Came in around 12 on a Thursday. When you walk in, to the left is the dining room & to the right is the bar/take out/window counter. I chose to sit at the bar as hardly anybody was in the room and I wanted to get some work done (free wifi!). I was greeted quick and had consistently great service throughout the entire lunch. For a drink I ordered the blueberry/banana/nut butter smoothie and was pleased with the taste - a little runny for my liking but still refreshing and clean tasting - nothing but the basics which I can appreciate. For my meal - forgot the name - but it was cauliflower rolled in buffalo sauce and I subbed the tortilla for a leafy green wrap. I got a combo of fries/salad as my side. Even the fries & dressing on the salad were BOMB. Clearly this place pays attention to every detail on the plate. I'm not vegetarian nor vegan, but I'd choose this place time & time again if I lived in the area.

Came here for lunch on a weekday with a few people and we all had pretty great meals. I ordered the Divine Dumplings to share and though they were crispy and delicious, I wish the portion size was larger to get more bang for your buck. For a vegetarian dumpling filled with shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and scallions, I was impressed with how tasty it was, especially with the dynamite sauce. For my main, I got the Cheerful BLT in a collard greens wrap instead of a ciabatta bun. They don't advertise that they do this substitution, but I highly recommend giving it a try if you're watching your carb intake. The tempeh bacon doesn't taste like bacon but is smokey and flavorful, and the addition of avocado and garlic aioli makes a perfect vegetarian sandwich. The kale Caesar salad I got with the BLT was so much better than the one I had at the other location. I honestly think they must've forgotten the dressing on the other salad I got because this one was creamier and a lot more flavorful. I still don't think it's right to call coconut bacon bacon, but that's coming from a meat eater. Don't expect it to taste like a Caesar salad, but it is good. The service was good but slower than we would've liked, and I wish we had gotten our bills at the same time as placing our order. If you have a time restraint, I'd recommend doing so, as this place can get really packed with all the businessmen and women in the area looking to have a healthier lunch.

My girlfriend is a big fan of the BLT here, so we decided to go for dinner so I could try! We ordered the queso to split. It was pretty tasty! I had the Butter "Chicken" bowl. It was alright, though it didn't have much flavor. This definitely isn't the spot to come if you're craving some filling, flavorful, greasy vegetarian/vegan food, and is definitely centered around healthy eating. All their food was an attempt to make it not only vegan, but just overall better for you. I probably won't order the same thing again, and will follow my girlfriend's lead and get the BLT, which was delicious. Service was fast and super friendly. We sat at the window at a little table. The restaurant is very light and minimalist which is a nice change from the dark atmospheres of most restaurants. Overall it was a nice experience, even if the food ended up being kinda meh.

I must vouch for their incredible kale Caesar salad! The dressing is so creamy and garlicky and gets soaked up so well by the kale! The crispy chips and the coconut crisps elevate this salad to level perfect. Their sweet potato burger is, at first glance, petite. However, it's quite dense and delightful, and I love that the bun has a hint of sweetness to it. Coming here in the summer is a treat--you can sit at the front bench table and people watch!

We had 3 meals here while staying in Ottawa because it's so good and has great food options. I love all the different elixirs and drinks that they have, like the tummy tonic or the bullet coffee. The cauliflower appetizer was the best we've ever had! The broccoli and tofu appetizers were amazing, too. The bowl that comes with rice noodles, peanut sauce and a generous serving of tofu was sooo good! Hubby had the burger and loved it. Great desserts, too!

Our family visited Ottawa for Canada Day, Pure Kitchen was near to our hotel and we were thankful to have found it. We went for breakfast on 1 day and lunch on another. The Ciabatta sandwich with tempeh was fantastic and everyone loved their smoothies. The vegan breakfast was ok; well presented but it would have been nice to have another option besides scrambled tofu and the sautéed kale was cold. We would have tried a muffin that day but it was herb and not what our daughter was looking for. They have a coffee bar and the coffee was great. When we went back for lunch we also tried the cauliflower bites and a gyoza that were delicious and a salad/noodle bowl that was good. We also reordered the ciabatta sandwich. Now I get that Canada Day was their busiest day but when you're returning for a specific item and it's so different it's disappointing, it had wilted salad shreds and burnt tempeh... it was very different from the previous one we had loaded with fresh greens and nicely crisped tempeh so I'm not sure how it's normally supposed to be. Regardless, I would absolutely go here again if in the area. We enjoyed our time there. Five stars down to 4 for inconsistency.

This is a great and interesting restaurant if you're vegan or vegetarian (which I am not). I had the peanut sauce dumpling and cauliflower wings and they were overall pretty good choices. Also, they sell alcohol! Why else would one eat healthy if not to leave space to indulge? The ambiance and service were good. I would come back for casual dinner with friends.

Out of curiosity, my friends and I tried this place (disclaimer: none of us are Vegetarian/Vegan)! What we got: - Glow pressed juice: very fresh, tasted healthy, and was not overly sweet/bitter. - Lavish loaded avocado: the coconut bacon pieces really made this delicious! It had a lot of flavor and it's a perfect way to get your dose of healthy fats! - Radical cauliflower wings: this would be perfect if there was less sauce, and it was less salty. But the Korean bbq sauce was VERY tasty. - Sweet-heart baked potato: nice mix of flavors, it also had coconut bacon, and I opted to try the cashew cheese which was delicious! - Happy Burger: Unfortunately the burger lacked flavor; the patty in the elevated burger had much more flavor. - Elevated Burger: Slightly better than the happy burger. I think I may try the bowls next time, but the burgers were underwhelming. Overall I preferred the appetizers more than the mains. If the mains had more flavor they would be a lot better. Environment is very clean and modern and quite packed on a weekday evening!

So delicious! I had the poutine with cashew cheese and mushroom gravy and it is literally the best poutine i have ever had in my life! I also had the carrot and cauliflower soup which is so thick and flavorful I wanted to eat it over and over! If you have a choice of side salad, get the kale caesar!

My friends and I checked out this place tonight. I'm giving it four stars for innovation and service. I have to say, the place really hits you over the head with their self-righteous and meatless propaganda, but the food is decent. I spent $35 after tip and tax and enjoyed a cocktail, appetizer, and dessert. I wasn't grabbed by anything on the menu to start, so I ordered a cocktail (Spiced Coconut) and the Korean BBQ Cauliflower "wings". Unfortunately, the cocktail tasted like soap (even though it was made with cinnamon, coconut milk, spiced rum) and after 3 sips I sent it back. Our server was courteous about the whole thing and replaced it with a deliciously zingy Dark & Stormy. The food came in short order and was delicious. I devoured my Korean BBQ cauliflower and was even hesitant about sharing it! Everyone liked their plates. One comment was that the tacos were not enough for a meal, though. They came with two smallish tacos and tonight's stuffing was a choice between buffalo cauliflower and Korean BBQ Cauliflower. My friend opted for the latter and was very satisfied. My two other friends shared the vegan lasagna and the falafel wrap. The vegan lasagna, IMHO, looked terrible and disappointing if you were hoping it would be like real lasagna. It was slathered in a balsamic reduction and served with layers of cashew "cheese". However, my friends devoured it - even eagerly dipping fries that came with other dishes into the muddy sauce. They also were fans of their falafel wrap, which is a generous portion. I noticed one of the other Yelp reviews decried the generosity of the portions, but I feel I have to set the record straight: the wraps are a very generous size, cut in half and served with fries. The bowls come in two sizes and the small is quite filling, according to my last friend who had the warrior bowl with chickpeas and sundry. Our server was quick on the dessert draw, cheerfully explaining and re-explaining the menu to 5 women who had all come from a long day at work. I opted for the chocolate almond tartlet (which was perfect and gooey and delicious), my friends opted each for the chocolate cake (3 out of five for tasting undercooked), raspberry tart (5/5 -it was amazingly chocolatey! I'm getting THAT next time!), the homemade peanut butter cup (3/5 but tiny and perfect if you don't want to commit to a whole dessert) and the caramel cashew "cheesecake" (2/5 just not delicious enough). Halfway through our meal we were informed that the server system had gone down, so bills were written out long-hand (much love for our server who had to deal with seat changes, splitzies, and other annoying things). All through this ordeal, the staff maintained a pleasant air of composure, efficiency and were very apologetic. One last thing I will say is that the restaurant is really noisy. The reverb in the main part of the restaurant was particularly awful. I couldn't hear my friend across the table for much of the time and I constantly asked her to repeat herself. THere are some nice, intimate seats near the open windows that might be less cacophonous. All this to say, I enjoyed what I ate and I'd probably be back. Given that the Table and Green door have been the benchmarks for vegetarian and vegan cuisine in ottawa for so long this place adds some much needed style.

Excellent place that looses a start for 2 reasons. They should make their own almond milk and not but a box version with oils and additives. And secondly, the opening time is strange along with any other Ottawa restaurant who opens at 11:30 for lunch. We walked in at 11, no chance to eat, took a walk and returned, where it was almost packed at 11:35... Seriously. Too close to lunch. Otherwise, fun food options. Especially the burgers. I'm not a tofu fan, so it is nice to see this place work magic with other things go than tofu...

Morning breakfast at the bar. My husband had the breakfast burrito bowl and I had the blt - both delicious! Burrito bowl FILLING ++ and the BLT sandwich very tasty!! Will return when in town again :)

Came in for a snack and to sit and do some work. Had the portobello mushroom tacos which were so delicious! Then a latte and chocolate and beet power balls. They source their coffee from Little Victories and it's very good! Amazingly friendly service, nice atmosphere and love the local sourcing of ingredients and concept!

Great place to grab food that is healthy, fresh and oh so lovely! After a long-awaited wait, i finally tried pure kitchen and it was an overall great experience. I ate the fantastic which is a hot bowl menu item which includes peanut sauce, ginger lime tofu, broccoli, red peppers, kale, scallions, cilantro, roasted peanuts, rice noodles. It was a great overall dish but I found the peanut sauce to be a tad too rich and creamy. Definitely not a detractor from the dish though, just preference. My friend had the falafel which she loved. I am eager to try their smoothies and breaky! Will definitely be back!

Excellent vegan and vegetarian food with something for everyone. Great place to introduce someone to pure plant based foods as everything is fresh and very flavourful. We tried a number of items and were very happy with each one. Top recommendation are the dumplings followed by the cauliflower wings and then you can't go wrong with perogies or any of the wraps and sandwiches/burgers. We tried the tempeh BLT and the cauliflower wrap and both were excellent.

Such a great spot on Elgin! Friendly service, beautiful decor, and wonderful vegan food!! The BBQ cauliflower was phenomenal!!! Juices were great too! Can't wait to go back!

Although the service is slow, and the wait was longer than reported, it was worth the wait. I tried their LIBERTY Buffalo Cauliflower, which was delicious. It had deep fried cauliflower, buffalo sauce, ranch, pickles, tomatoes, carrots, greens in a flour tortilla. It was good. I had it with a side salad and fries. The fries were a bit soggy, and the salad was a vegan Caesar salad. It was fresh and had good flavour. The wrap itself, I felt that the flavours of the vegetables overpowered what I felt they buffalo cauliflower flavour that should have been there, and it was a bit over sauces and messy. I felt for the price it was a bit overpriced by a few dollars. It's nice to have vegetarian options, and I think you pay for that. It's pretty trendy.

Came here for Ottawa's Tulip Festival and I love my meat like a lion loves a nice plump juicy zebra. But alas, my partner likes to eat healthier than I, and so I let her indulge. This place made me consider that with food like this, I wouldn't mind converting having 1 or 2 vegan meals a month...maybe a week. We came on a Saturday night and it was fairly packed. They took down our number and contacted us within a reasonable time frame (their estimates were fairly good). I would say our waittress was a bit slow, but she was on the floor for 12 hours without a break, so I'll give a break on that. Her recommendations were pretty good in regards to the smoothies. We had the Cheer, which I thought was pretty good considering the fact that I dislike the taste of almond milk. The drink was finished quickly. The size was also decent for the price, and made me want to look for a blender so that I could make my own one day. But i'll substitute almond milk with soy :3. For the entrees, we had the Righteous meatball sub and the Dreamer Burger. The Righteous wasn't as juicy as the Dreamer. The portion sizes were quite good. I had high expectations for the coconut bacon, but I quickly learned that coconut's don't taste quite like bacon :| But I did like the patty, it was filling and the fries salted and done perfectly. Service: 4.5/5 Food: 5/5 Price Point: 4.5/5 Overall: 5/5 I'd recommend trying this place at least once if you're in the town. Although I wouldn't have more than 4 people in the party as the table space looked somewhat limited. They can accomodate more, but make your reservations well in advance as the place is quite popular.

Good food. Just not what I expected for the price. It was kind of expensive for what you get, though the food is still great and you should definetly try it. Great atmosphere and service.

The poutine is fantastic :) Whether or not you are a vegetarian or vegan, the food here is fantastic and you will find something that you'll be happy with. GM

Pretty amazing restaurant, perfect for those who want to explore the healthy food craze. Hipster feel with open windows and bar side options - overall amazing atmosphere! Ordered the sweet potato burger - the downside being that the burger was really small. However they give you an option to do half salad and fries which was a great option for those who want a bit of both. Tasty food and service was mediocre, but the overall experience was fantastic. Will visit again !

Had the tomatillos, the cauliflower wrap and the sweet potato burger. All were amazing and fresh and the beer selection was very good too!

Great place. There are two sides, a traditional restaurant side to sit and be served, and a smoothie bar/cafe side for quick grabs and takeout orders. You can eat in at both. The bar is much quieter, and perfect if you're dining alone. All the ingredients are fresh, meticulously prepared and the staff is awesome.

A great vegetarian restaurant with generous servings and filling dishes. We got the Standard Breakfast and Breakfast Wrap. The chickpea filling was great and the wrap had a very savoury and spicy dipping sauce. We also tried the Flow, Surge and Electrify juices which were pretty good.

In my shortish trip I was lucky enough to eat here twice, something I don't usually do. Both meals were very tasty using some ingredients I had never tasted, cashew cheese, coconut bacon and the presentation was great. Staff friendly and helpful. I'd definitely recommend
