Great plant based food all around including the croissant breakfast sandwich and blueberry muffin. Also, I had one of the best London fogs as well here.

Seems like a great place to grab a coffee or pastries, but their breakfast burrito was terrible. Bland tofu scramble with dried out black beans and gross slimy mushrooms. No potatoes or tomatoes as described in the menu.Its great to see all vegan places, but if their food is this bad, it gives meat eaters an excuse to call vegan food bad.

Lovely little spot for vegan fare. The lattes were delicious, and the mocha in particular was a knockout (though the lavender was a close second). The bagel with “lox” is incredible and I will be making the journey back for it in the near future. The chickpea salad wrap had slightly less of a “wow” factor, but was still quite tasty and came with a side of chips. The vegan treats taste like… well, vegan treats. No surprise there.All in all, I’m very glad this spot is serving up innovative vegan dishes in Lakeview. I’ll find an excuse to come back soon!

Fancy Plants is a cute same peaceful little spot for some great vegan eats. Conducive to work, coffee with a friend or a quick lunch/coffee break it's a not -so-hidden gem!Delish food, creative menu for both food and drink and happy vibes from staff and guests! I wish I could lunch here every day! Also super easy to get to on transit routes& on foot/cycle.Vegetarian options: Non dairy milks and cashew cheese -the best!!Delicious veggie lunches& breakfastsDietary restrictions: They had gf baked deliciousness as well!

@lydieats ? Fancy Plants Cafe has all that plus an outdoor patio and free wifi. Great spot to wfh ?‍? Their menu is 100% vegan with lots of pastry options to choose from. I tried the breakfast burrito and it’s massive, stuffed with roasted potatoes, tofu scramble, tomatoes, and black beans. Kinda salty but overall a great choice. Loved the lavender vanilla latte, but they do charge extra for oat milk!? Breakfast Burrito $12? Lavendar Vanilla Latte $6100% vegan cafe! Perhaps because it's spring, I start wandering around looking for cafes with outdoor seating. There is also Wi-Fi here, so it's great to stay at home in the sunshine ? There are a variety of light pastries and meals. The burrito was quite large so I packed half of it. The coffee is delicious and the relaxed atmosphere is satisfying!!

Enjoyed a delicious vegan brunch here. We loved the bagel with cream cheese and lox, and the croissant sandwich was sooo good! Cinnamon buns were also out of this world!

Three of us were extremely sick after eating here. Now, I've heard from others who have had similar issues. Definitely had a weird smell and could use some cleaning.Talked to Kevin Schuder, and he said, "Then don't eat here."

The food was kind of disappointing for the price. We got the breakfast burrito and it was mostly underseasoned tofu with very little of the other fillings. The chips and salsa that came with the burrito were alright. The coffee was good but the chai hot chocolate is so strong on the chai spice and unfortunately made both of us sick. It seems like it's best to stick to the pastries and coffee here

Can't beat a croissant and a latte from here!Breakfast sandwiches are great.Finally got around to trying the lox which were also great but they definitely stacked it too high and it was more of a knife and fork meal than a sandwich.
