When @whatacuriousnotion posted that Hearty Hooligan was going to close down, I missioned there the first chance I could! I got this #doublechocolate #cookie and I'm surprised it hasn't been reviewed before! It was good, but kind of dry. I liked it, but i ended up not finishing it. It was a great price at $2. Swipe to see the real gem - the amazing anti-warrior bowl. My absolute favourite item on the menu!

Hearty Hooligan is always doing various fundraisers, which I love. Last week they were making trans flag themed cookies and cupcakes with ALL the money from them going to a trans healthcare program in Hamilton. I was there for a queer trivia night last week, and obviously needed to bring home some of these cupcakes too! As always, the cupcake was moist and soft, not too light and not too dense. They're always friendly with the icing too, which is nice for a sweet tooth. I'm so sad they're closing (or at least changing owners) after October this year. This place has my whole heart. Go support them while you can! 🏳️‍⚧️🌱💛 #vegancupcakes #transrightsarehumanrights #chocolate #cake #fundraiser #supportveganbusiness #supportsmallbusiness

My mum usually makes my birthday cake but this year we decided to go all out and get a cake from Hearty Hooligan (my favourite all vegan and queer woman owned restaurant that pays their staff a living wage.) I knew I wanted the lemon coconut cake but told them to decorate however they wanted, even if it was a big mess. They know that I love pickles, and they went with that. Honestly, this was the most beautiful and perfect-for-me cake I could've imagined! It's a lemon cake with coconut frosting. Four layers of moist but dense delicious cake (just like their cupcakes!) Then the perfect amount of frosting. My mum and I love lemon, so she had made a lemon curd to go with this, but it wasn't needed bc it's so tasty and balanced. This was a 6" cake (though it seemed bigger!) and was $45 before tax, at least according to their order sheet. I cut it like I've seen professionals cut cake (square pieces instead of triangles!) I think it ended up being about 12 pieces. Luckily I have a small family so I got to eat most of it haha. I would easily order this again. The only slight downside is that now the coconutty smell is linked to the visual of pickles in my brain 🤭😅🥒🥒 #veganisnotscary #supportsmallbusiness #veganbirthdaycake #lemoncoconut #picklesareeverything #vegandessert #iwisheverydaywasmybirthday

This guy sadly fell over in the box on my way home, so please excuse his mushed up icing. This was a vanilla cupcake with cookie dough flavoured icing. As always, the cupcake was super dense and moist. The icing was perfectly sweet and just the right amount. I love their cupcakes! They're $3.50 each or a bit less if you buy 6 I think. I usually fill up on their meals but I also live bringing a treat home! #veganisnotscary #vegancupcakes #vegandessert #moist

I had to post this today because tomorrow is the last day for this special and YOU NEED TO GO GET IT! I rushed out to try it yesterday before the reallllly bad snow started (but during the beginning of it bc I knew it was my only chance. It was worth it!!) For those who knew Apiecalypse in Toronto - the sauce on these is the exact sauce they used for their fat mac pizza. The owner shared the recipe with HH's owner for their anniversary pizza pockets this year, and then they used it again for this special. It's literally a big mac on fries. A Beyond patty broken up over fries with melted cheese, shredded lettuce, sesame seeds, the perfect little white onions (just like McD's burgers always had!) and then the perfect amount of the SPOT ON sauce. It's $20 bc the ingredients aren't easy to source but trust me, it's so worth it. I was honestly tempted to order another to eat right after haha. Just FYI, you'll want to dine-in since fries don't travel well at all. They're open 11-9 tomorrow (Monday Feb 17) and I highly recommend you get there! I don't think these will be back nearly as often as I want them to be. Also, HH is just the best place. Great staff, super safe space, accessible washroom. There's loud music so if you're sensitive, bring some earplugs. #veganisnotscary #loadedfries #veganrestaurant #bigmac #onfries #putitinmymouth
