Food was great. Gluten free options for the celiacs in the family were sufficient. We made a reservation for 10 people and were told we had to take 4:30 or wait till 8. We came at 4:30 and stayed till about 6. There was still lots of empty spaces to accommodate us. The good news is we could enjoy happy hour specials.

Came here for brunch shortly after they opened at 10 am on a Saturday. Had their Tan Tan Ramen (non-spicy version). It was tasty! The gluten-free version comes with rice noodles instead of the regular homemade noodles. The butternut squash broth was tasty! It was definitely on the thinner, lighter side, and not as rich as your traditional ramen broth (which we expected). The kale and nut medley were good textural additions! They also sell a variety of plant-based treats at the front counter, and refrigerated and pantry items. I picked up a rice crispy treat to-go. Staff bring you the food, but diners clear their own table. Friendly service and there is lots of street parking in the area! I came to use my Plant Curious coupon, but also knew of the café previously having purchased their mochi cake mix (by The Plant Based Workshop) at an event last year. I don't live in the area, but would recommend and would be happy to return again!

St Andrews charges $4.25 for a cookie and $4.75 for a Nanaimo bar. The price of the Nanaimo Bar might ‘just’ pass mustard since it’s gluten free apparently, but $4.25 for a cookie is just wrong. No wonder they don’t post prices. I think these guys are charging what the people who visit this place from other communities can afford, not what their local customers who live in a 1 block radius can afford, and/or what’s reasonable or needed for the cafe to make a decent income. Be fair and follow your morale compass guys. The rest will follow. If you want to cater to what those with higher incomes can afford, maybe give the locals a discount card upon showing the address on their license as compensation for your more wealthy “out-of-community” customers taking up the parking spots on our street. This might also preempt the locals asking for parking restrictions from council. Or maybe a local thanks for your support day for locals who live on the same street.
