Mondays Plant Cafe

As soon as myself and my partner stepped in the door we were bombarded with an overwhelming amount of questions, even before we arrived at the desk. We tried to overlook this as we were hungry and had driven 35mins to get there. (I feel there was a lack of professionalism and more a vibe of, we just walked in to someone's house.) Attempted to look at the menu behind the front desk but questions kept coming and so politely asked if we could sit with the 1 menu in the Cafe to decide our meals. By the the time we had got down the stairs and to a table we'd been followed and asked 3 times if we wanted a drink, before we'd even chosen a table to sit at. There are 4 tables in the Cafe to eat at and put very close together. We chose a fair distance from some people already seated, so we sat at the 4 person table and a remark was made by the host, that it is ok to have this table right now but if 4 people were to arrive "we'll have to talk"! Once we were seated at our table, she returned after only a minute left alone, to ask yet again, if we wanted drinks... after stating water is fine for now. No gluten free bread options - Was pushed towards sourdough bread instead, though I'd already stated several times I wanted gluten free. And she then proceeded to push some more... and asked if I knew what sourdough bread was! As someone who's made sourdough bread from scratch many times and made it gluten free. . This is quite condescending to say to anyone. I find as a vegan Cafe you should be ready for all types of special dietary requirements. As half the menu is on toast I'd at least expect the option for gluten free bread. Especially considering most if not all desserts are gluten free. By this point we were so discouraged we decided to leave and go down the road to a different vegan restaurant that turned out to be the best decision we had made. As a business woman myself I would kindly advise to rethink your approach on customer service and how you interact with customers. A warm friendly greeting is enough. The music was also a little too loud for the tightness of space. This experience could have been so much better but we just couldn't stand another minute. Edit: As you can see the owner doesn't have a professional response to give about how they treat people. Just some hippy answer 🤣 We are extremely happy we walked out yes and voted with our money else where. But we wrote here to advise that Mondays Cafe really is just that.. ... 🌧 A better name would have been Calgarys Fakery at its Finest. Peace and love 🌈

This is probably one of the most delicious vegan places I’ve ever been to. The decor inside is so cute and the staff are so friendly. Food is delicious!! Some of my favs: turmeric latte (divine!), chocolate chip cookie (gf), peanut butter chocolate bar, pad Thai, and the sushi. Everything is delicious and I love that they have sustainable packaging, bamboo cutlery, and they accept my reusable mug! Awesome! Also many gluten free options! Love this cafe, I come twice a week!
