Out of town: West

We’ve mentioned Rise Above Bakery (11 Summer St. St. Catharines) a few times, but this is BIG NEWS! They now have a take-out bakery with such crazy-cool delights like, Pie in a Jar, Gateaux Fauxmage (Cherry Cheesecake,) Cinnamon Buns Croissants and of course... donuts! - $5.00

Sometimes Veggies get bummed when they go to a Omni restaurant and have to spend time scanning the menu... at Pan Cafe (120 St.Paul Street, St.Catharines) there are flags for vegan, lactose-free and gluten-free next to each item! Vegans can endulge in items like Eggs Bryan: “No eggs here! Spiced tofu, fresh tomatoes stacked on toast and covered in a savoury avocado hollandaise sauce, served with mixed greens”

Out of town: East

Sound overwhelming? Well, “book a tour with a registered holistic nutritionist who can help you navigate our aisles while addressing your individual needs.”

Tips from the Street!

Though they have been around for a while now, thought I would let you guys know about Hotel Gelato (532 Eglington Ave. W). In addition to carrying lots of desserts from Sweets from the Earth and LPK'S Culinary Groove , they always have a vegan chocolate gelato, and also I have tried their hazelnut gelato. I believe their fruit-based gelatos/sorbettos are also vegan (but who wants those when there's chocolate and hazelnut!) They also have vegan food on their regular menus.
