Soft-Serves en Boon Burger Cafe — Reseña de louisg (8 abr 2023)

I decided to visit another restaurant this Easter weekend to use another 2 coupons from Toronto’s First Ever Plant-Based Deals Book (https://instagram.com/thisisplantcurious?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=). Today, I went to Boon Burger Café. My brother and I ordered a couple Greek Burgers and got a couple complimentary soft serves (thanks to the first coupon; the Greek Burgers were just reviewed).

The soft-serves (ice cream) were definitely plant-based / vegan. I confirmed this with one of the ladies there. Only one flavour, vanilla, was available, but they’re working on getting a second flavour soon. No offence to the restaurant, but the ice cream was plain. It didn’t really stand out for me.

The soft-serve was quite cold. My brother and I both felt brain freezes coming on and we weren’t eating them quickly.

I liked that we had received real cutlery with our meal. #noplastic here! This was refreshing to see.

There’s been a recent change in ownership at this restaurant. It’s decided to offer vegetarian options (☹️) but according to a lady I spoke to there, the default is vegan unless the customer asks for the vegetarian option (regarding cheese only, I think). This seems to contradict what’s written in the menu. Vegan guest beware!

Regardless of this decision, I hope the restaurant succeeds / survives as it does offer good tasting vegan foods. Hopefully its dairy cheese just stays in the fridge and doesn’t find its way into customers’ orders. The aforementioned lady came over to our table to check to see if everything was ok; this never occurs in a casual restaurant like this. I appreciated this effort.

I’d return to support the vegan side of the menu.
