👍👍 What a treat! I was in Charlottetown for less than 24 hours and ended up eating here twice in that span. I had arrived late and needed some comfort food on the first go so I asked for the chef's recommendation. He did not disappoint with the pulled mushroom burger. This was one of the best burgers...

    What a treat! I was in Charlottetown for less than 24 hours and ended up eating here twice in that span. I had arrived late and needed some comfort food on the first go so I asked for the chef's recommendation. He did not disappoint with the pulled mushroom burger. This was one of the best burgers I've had. Made with shredded king oyster mushrooms and lots of savory sauce on a fluffy bun, this hit the spot. As I was leaving the next day, I opted to grab a quick bite before heading on the road so I was looking for something a little lighter and went with the Mexican bowl. This bowl was filled to the brim with flavour. I can't state this enough: this is a can't miss spot when in Charlottetown. I had a chat with the folks there and they have been open for less than a year (they opened during a pandemic 😳) and have been doing well since. They work hard and have been getting their products locally so they are super fresh and tasty. They make almost everything in house (except for the vegan cheese) without resorting to frozen or prepackaged food which you can tell as soon as you take your first bite. Do yourself a favour and go enjoy some great food.

    An amazing vegan vegetarian restaurant in Charlotte town PEI with a good selection of food options. Beautiful green and white decor, aesthetically appealing, setting the mood for a good meal. Spoilt for selection as so many delicious choices they offer. When the food arrived we were certainly not disappointed, it was tasty and fulfilling. Good place to try out Plant based food.

    Amazing food! All the dishes were really tasty and the portion size was also good for the price. I had a wonderful experience having lunch with my family here. Recommend their veggie stir fry bowl, tiramisu, penne pasta bowl, vegan poutine, vegan pizza. Appreciate the fact that they have opened such an amazing vegan place at a small city like Charlottetown in PEI. Would really appreciate if you open some of your branches around Atlantic Canada, specifically in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

    It was a special lunch on a special day. The food was great. Very fresh and portions were plentiful. A great value. The staff noticed I had a flower for my partner and did something special for her as well. Took a really good meal and made it great. We will be back for sure.

    Okay…I have been vegan for a little over 2 years now and have been on the hunt ever since for the best vegan burger and I have finally found it! I ordered the “loaded vegan burger” and it was the best one I have ever tasted. I am from NB and have been to Montreal and NS and even the USA last year on vacation and have never tasted something so good as I did today. The flavours, the sauce, the crunch, the bun was amazing and the caramelized onions on top were sooooo good! We also had their spinach artichoke hummus and oh my soul it was so good! So flavourful and creamy! The girl at the cash added some olive oil on top and it was perfection! We are staying here for 2 more days and we will be sure to come back! The owner and staff are so welcoming and amazing customer service! This place will not disappoint wether you are vegan or not!

    This is the best healthy food in Charlottetown hands down! Ate here twice in two days. Had the grain bowl, lentil soup and the loaded veggie burger and ballistic brownie and pizza. All we’re excellent!

    We went to this little shop looking for vegetarian and found it was good, tasty, and fresh. Girl on the counter was very professional and pleasant. If I am back in this town in future, I will sure visit again. We tried fries, cheese rolls, barley soup, and chicken (look alike) sandwich.

    Great food! Lots of options! They're a smaller kitchen, so they got a bit behind on the lunch rush and there wasn't AC. It got quite humid in there, but the staff must've been sweating bullets in that hot kitchen and remained friendly, professional, and hardworking.

  • 5/5 Betty N. 8 months ago on Google
    Very flavorful and tasty food. We ordered ramen (x2), bibimbap, and Mexican bowl and they were all very excellent. They serve eggs. I would definitely come back, although the wait time for food was pretty significant. I see that they have a lot of takeout orders that get prioritized in the same queue as the dine-in orders. Also, there doesn't seem to be any table service, in case that matters to you.

    Clean, delicious, and welcoming! The chef was nice enough to let me try the sauces before I ordered, and even gave us cookies at the end of the night! The menu has lots of great options and is sure to please even non-vegans/vegetarians! We will definitely be back!

    Amazing selection of homemade, vegan food inspired by world cuisine. ORIGINAL recipes, made in house, not some warmed up, commercial items! The best vegan restaurant on PEI, one of the few places to eat at if you want healthy. Environmentally conscious.

    First, as you enter, you notice that the place is welcoming and clean with a very friendly staff. We were there for lunch and we absolutely loved every single thing we ordered. Their Ramen and Bibimbap are delicious, not to mention their mediterranean flatbread and cheese rolls. We also had the best falafel one can ask for, super delicious, crunchy and authentic, Kudos to the chef!

    Really good hot foods- like their vegan poutine, a bit pricey but good for a once in a while treat. I would not recommend the to-go refrigerated things like their salad as it does not taste very good. Staff are very nice though and good to see more vegan/vegetarian options in PEI.

  • 5/5 Sukriti C. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best places for vegetarian and vegan food. The burger was a lot more delicious than expected. That's coming from my non vegan boyfriend. The Ramen was wonderful too. Vegan desserts too. Update: ordered a vegan birthday cake and it was awesome. Looks amazing, tasted even more delicious.

    Fantastic! The best meal I have had at a restaurant in recent memory bar none! The atmosphere is open, fresh, and clean. The service was helpful, professional, and very friendly. The menu was varied, with ample options, and all looked very tasty...a difficult decision. We waited a bit for our meal and that reassured us it was being made for us. The result was a hot, delicious lunch made with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend whether vegan or not!! Will return!

    Amazing food!! So many choices in all types of foods from salads, appetizers, dips, wraps, sandwiches, hot bowls, flatbread and pizzas, pasta/noodles, desserts, smoothies, hot drinks, cold drinks. They have it all! Highly recommend trying it out! It will not disappoint

    While on an east coast cruise we stopped in Charlottetown & I was craving something sweet. We discovered Gaia’s by chance and we’re so pleased. Located on Queen Street the place is really bright & light with a dessert counter in front of the kitchen. We opted for their chocolate cake & a chocolate chip cookie & it was delicious. The perfect vegan snack.

    10/10 recommended the best vegan restaurant in Charlottetown. Beautifully decorated peaceful ambiance. Would visit over and over again.

  • 5/5 Andréane & D. 2 years ago on Google
    We stopped for lunch in this vegetarian restaurant in Charlottetown and the food was great! The location is very good, right in the middle of the town. Most of the menu is vegan or can be made vegan/plant-based. We shared a vegan pizza and poutine it was delicious! They even give us a rice rolls, first time for us, it was also very good. This place opened not so long ago and it’s worth a try even if you are not vegan. There’s so many things and the menu, wish we could taste it all, can’t wait to come back one day! 😍 thanks again!
