I prefer something healthy for breakfast. It was a 15 minute walk from the hotel I was staying at, but I thought it was perfect for my lack of exercise. The cheerful staff greets me inside the store and is very friendly. The staff kindly gave advice on the menu. I chose an Avocado Wrap and a Green Colada. Green Colada was a very refreshing smoothie, Cleanser & Immune Booster drink and the Avocado Wrap was mashed chickpea and avocado, baby spinach, chili flakes, spinach tortilla wrap, lightly seasoned and easy to eat. My breakfast was just green,, loll Looks like my day will be happy! Thanks! I will come again

Ordered a soup and a wrap through UberEats and specifically requested cutlery for the soup since I’m visiting from out of town and staying at a hotel. Figured they’d give me a spoon regardless, but thought it would be good to request it just in case.Boy was I wrong!! Did not receive any cutlery with order. Not really sure how you miss that considering you literally need a spoon to eat the soup that was in your order.Whether the food is good or not, mistakes like this lead to such a terrible customer experience.

Ordered and paid $20 for a make your own salad. Portion is scarce- base had about 7 pieces of chopped up kale. The “Roasted chicken breast” was similar to mcdonalds chicken nuggets/rubbery chicken, had next to no chicken flavour, the biggest turn off. Very disappointed and will not return :(

Finally remembered to drop in at lunch to try this place out, was not disappointed! Always a huge soft spot for anyplace that has loads of Vegetarian options. Very friendly staff, helpful with my ordering experience when I told them it was my first time there. I opted for the straight up Bangkok Bowl with no extras just to taste the meals true foundation. This was a great choice, the mix of fresh veggies (Romaine, Cucumber, Peppers, Cabbage, shred Carrot) and Brown Rice was very appetizing. Could not get enough of the delicious Peanut dressing, what a perfect complement, could likely drink half a litre if challenged to do so. There were Chickpeas for protein but next time I will likely add Tofu because (my only minor complaint) was that the serving size wasn't large enough for my constant hunger! Sat at the high top table facing outside to eat my food. There was a little plant that was dead AF next to me, made me wonder why it wasn't thrown out or better taken care of. I'm excited to go back and try another bowl, I'm thinking I'll go for the Green Curry.

Neat concept but a bit standard. Wish bowls were warm/hot. Not a lot of seating. More options at lower cost would be a lot betterVegetarian options: Lots of options!Dietary restrictions: Good options, protein powder availableParking: Big city parkingKid-friendliness: Not a great place for kids, more for a quiet biteWheelchair accessibility: Mist chairs should have no issue, but I didn't see low table space for chairs

I randomly found this place while looking for healthy lunch and I gotta say this is my new favorite healthy place in Downtown. The food is fresh and tastes great, the staff are so friendly, and the vibe is nice. I’ll definitely come back soon!P.S: Seems like if you become a member,they give you points for discounts on your next orders!

First time trying WELA using my Plant Curious book! Had the Roasted Beet & Feta Bowl and the Shroomami Bowl. They were both delicious! In particular, I loved the creamy sesame dressing and sautéed mushrooms in the latter. We ate the bowls during brunch and found the portions to be fair. There is limited seating against 2 counters for 8 (but more likely a comfortable 6 with the stools being so close together). Best for take out, which I imagine they are. Service was very friendly and helpful, especially being first time customers. They have pre-set bowls and wraps, and you can also build your own! We just wish they had some complimentary water to drink, as they only have beverages in their fridge available for purchase. However, would be happy to return in the future!

I didn't know they had other locations downtown. I usually eat at Lonsdale Quay. I love the food, services, and vibes here. This location has more meat selection, so I ended up trying the Larb bowl with steak, which is so good after the staff recommended it to me. Their Yuzu lemonade is also tasty, and I like it a lot.

Delicious and healthy meals. Sometimes bowl and salad places still have greasy or overly sweet items but these bowls feels flavorful and nutritious. We also had a smoothie and chia pudding on another visit which was also delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant and we appreciate all the vegan options available.Dietary restrictions: Vegan

Tried this place twice but disappointed each time. Overpriced for the quality and volume of food. They give you disposable bowl/cutlery even if you eat there, and their forks won’t even pierce the tomatoes in your salad!

Disgusting! I came in here and asked if I could use the washroom and they refused because I was not a customer. Now I will never give them any business, and will boycott!!!!!
