Restaurant Review: Kindfood Bakery & Cafe

I can’t say enough incredible things about Kindfood. Not only does this bakery/cafe offer some of the BEST vegan fare you’ll find in Ontario (and probably all of Canada…), but the owners, Kelly Childs & Erin Weatherbie are both so committed to the preservation and protection of the environment through a plant based diet it’s unreal. Their commitment is contagious! Every single time I go into Kindfood it’s busy, with elderly gentlemen enjoying some curried lentil soup or mothers with their children begging for a delicious cupcake, the Kindfood appeal is totally universal.

So back to the food. Kindfood only uses the best organic ingredients, and has numerous gluten free options. My personal favourite is the kind sandwich, with fresh organic avocado and tomato, usually served with vegan mayo (I always substitute the mayo for some mustard), served on fresh multi-seed bread. My boyfriend Sebastian, the ultimate burger connoisseur, raved about the Kind Burger, made of grilled tempeh topped with Daiya plant based ‘cheese’.

And the baked goods… you can’t talk about Kindfood without mentioning their vast array of mouthwatering baked goods. All totally gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and refined sugar free, their cookies, cupcakes and brownies are ridiculous. I actually can’t put into words how great these treats are. You’ll just have to experience the kindfood cupcake rush yourself.

So all in all, this place is out of this world, vegan or not, check it out. The staff is warm and you can just feel the love put into the food.
