This place is so wholesome! :DThe front-of-house staff are so friendly and kind. I always feel great when I pick up food there :DI really appreciate that the owner does a ton for the community by promoting other wholesome, small businesses.I regularly get frozen foods made by them. They are very tasty and pretty affordable :)They re-added dine-in tables and it's really nice when people are hanging out there. I want to have coffees and chill there in the future :D

We LOVE this place and have been shopping there for years. The Ranch dressing they carry is delicious. Their lunch salads and other things are, too. We buy all of our oat milks (and other things - like the 'bacon') there. Everything's been delicious - and we're picky eaters. (We don't eat a lot of baked goods so can't speak to that.) The staff has ALWAYS been friendly and we fully support their mask policy. It's a local business so that's a big bonus for us as well. Hoping this place is around a long time. Go!

I am GF and wanted to support local / small business for my birthday cake. Had tried LJB at a farmers market previously. I had saw they made a nice cake on their IG so I placed my order referencing that cake and providing a photo as well for colours / general aesthetic. (After having done this I will not place a cake order before I see the cake). They noted that it would not look like the photo I sent, which is totally understandable as I know decorating is difficult but the cake on their IG and website used the same techniques so I was confident the cake I got would at the very least look like the one on their website. I go to pick up the cake and I was disappointed. The icing was flat, almost like it had been done a very long time before pick up and the writing on the cake was very amateur. Whomever decorated this cake did not decorate the ones in the photos on their IG and website or they really did it a way too early that the icing fell. The person at the bakery was also not receptive, explaining that he was not the one to decorate it and really didnt sympathize with my disatisfaction. After cutting into the cake and sharing with my friends, we realized it was not the flavour I ordered.This alarmed me as I have a celiac friend and if they got the order wrong it may contain gluten. I contacted them and they offered a refund. It has been almost 2 weeks and 1 email follow up and still no refund. I wish I could be writing a positive review about a small business but this is very disappointing.

Went for the first time the other day and was very disappointed. The staff is very friendly, and they were wearing a mask and had an air filter going while I was there, which was amazing! However, the food was inedible. We got a blueberry pop tart, a raspberry rhubarb scone, and a blueberry scone. The pop tart was like eating straight sugar. The scones were both far too sugary as well, and extremely dry and hard. We walked to Westboro beach to eat them, and after trying them all we tried to give them to the seagulls, but even the seagulls found them too dry and had to drop the pieces in the water before eating them. I can't say I recommend going unfortunately.

I just had the steak and onion hand patty and it's one of the best things I've ever eaten. It had salty and flaky pastry with a delicious seitan and onion filling. Having been a pie baker, I know pastry very well and this is top notch. Every thing here is amazing. I've never been disappointed.

Ordered a vegan cake for son's 25th birthday. Consensus amongst all who had it was that is was sub par at best. Cake was not moist and very firm, not red Velvet as requested, and tons of sugary white icing, sugary as in texture and sweetness, which supposedly had cream cheese in it, but certainly was not cream cheese icing as requested. The happy birthday cursive writing on top looked like a 5 yr old wrote it. It was rather embarrassing.We felt bad as our son loves red velvet cream cheese vegan cake. So next day, we ended up making our own totally vegan red velvet cake with vegan cream cheese icing from scratch based in an online recipe ...out of this world. Moist, red velvet, thin layer of sweet and tangy cream cheese icing. Never know it was vegan.Sorry, Little Jo Berry's was a total fail, and an expensive one at $76 for 8" round. Half was thrown in the garbage next day. Provided feedback to the store as a reply to email to confirm the order, and they couldn't bother to respond. That speaks volumes.

Great bakery and coffee shop plus they have a great selection of frozen and ready-made meals to take home. I am by no means vegan, but the coffee with the alternative milk was fantastic. The staff were amazingly wonderful and very kind. Highly

We loved our experience at Little Jo Berry's. The drinks and baked goods we bought were delicious and highly recommended to everyone, vegan or not. They also had a great selection of other goods and frozen meals that I would definitely go back to try.

Awesome locally based frozen food, treats and eats. Very few tables but cute and good vibe atmosphere cause the space is on the small side but it still feels well distanced. Fresh food and frozen for take aways. Kinda like if M&M meatshops was a local queer vegan eatery with fresh eats and coffee with a couple tables to sit down at. They do a lot for the community. 10/10
