9 Best Vegan Restaurants in Stratford

“Can’t say enough good things about The Common from great evenings out with friends to a recent private Christmas party held there. The service is friendly and fast, the food and selections are incredible, the atmosphere is so great! Chef/Owner Tim always there to chat. Restaurant manager Cassandre is exceptional. Very highly recommend!“

“Each time we go to Stratford, we try to eat in this restaurant. The food is outstanding. The owner went above and beyond to meet our needs and even ran after us when my husband left his cell on the table.“

“I recently visited The Ashborne Cafe and it was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. Nestled right in the heart of Stratford, this café is truly a hidden gem that delivers on every level—atmosphere, service, and of course, incredible food and drinks.

The moment I walked in, I was struck by how beautiful and thoughtfully designed the space is. It has a modern yet cozy feel, with lots of natural light that creates a warm and inviting ambiance. It’s the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or even just enjoy a quiet coffee on your own. The attention to detail in the decor really elevates the whole experience and makes it feel special.

The menu is just as impressive as the setting. Everything is clearly crafted with care, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The café is especially known for its delicious brunch options, baked goods, and unique coffee creations, including standout drinks like lattes and cortados . I tried a couple of their items and was genuinely blown away—the flavors were fresh, balanced, and beautifully presented. It’s also amazing to see how many healthy, gluten-free, and plant-based options they offer, making it easy for everyone to find something they love .

What truly sets this place apart, though, is the service. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for every guest. Their passion and positivity really shine through and add to the overall charm of the café.

Another thing I appreciated is the overall vibe—it’s lively without being overwhelming, making it a perfect spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee or settling in for a longer visit. It’s easy to see why this place has earned such high ratings and glowing reviews from visitors .

Overall, The Ashborne Cafe is a must-visit if you’re in Stratford. It combines amazing food, excellent coffee, a beautiful atmosphere, and top-notch service into one unforgettable experience. I can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be coming back again soon!“

“Excellent place to chill for an over nite stay in Stratford !“

“Great food! Amazing service and wonderful suggestions.“

“Great food, very respectful staff. I like being here for dinner sometime. Highly recommended. The only negative is the lighting, sitting directly under the lights it's so bright, feels like sitting in an interrogation room. Lights need to be dimmed or even better change them all together to softer lighting. Thanks.“

“Delicious food, made by wonderful people. A Stratford favourite!“
