I love Copper Branch's vegan pizza because it's thin-crust, has a good amount of actual fresh vegetables on it, and a lot of their pizzas are made using cauliflower crust (hence gluten-free). I tried the Trippy Truffle (cauliflower crust pizza with garlic aioli, roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, baby arugula, and portobello mushrooms, topped with a drizzle of truffle oil) - and it was amazing! If all pizzas were like this (thin crust, vegan, with cauliflower crust, great veggie toppings), I'd be eating pizza more often. read more

I stopped into Copper Branch while staying nearby for business. I'm familiar with the brand having ordered takeout from other locations throughout Canada. The storefront is in a underground food court in Torontos' financial district. It's quite clean, small, but efficient. I ordered the 3 piece vegan wings (everything here is plant based FYI) and an Asian Fusion bowl. The employee taking my order was very friendly and quick. Got my number to wait for and within 5 minutes I was on my way. Good service. However my first thing I tried after I got back to my hotel I ate the wings. Holy sodium. Almost like eating straight salt. The wings were way too salty even before dipping them in the Frank's wing sauce. Almost inedible salty for me. Minus two stars for that. The Asian Fusion bowl wasn't as salty, but still pretty strong bit of sodium. The veggies were tasty, my protein choice which was tempeh which was cooked and seasoned well. Overall not bad, but maybe let natural flavors come out in the food instead of turning towards tons of salt. read more

I got the tumeric golden latte and a Southwest wrap. My sister got a hot chocolate and waffles. I loved my food and she thought hers were just okay so I'm averaging out a 5 & 3 for a rating of 4. We are vegans from the United States and we both did not like the hot chocolate. There was definitely no sugar in it. My sister added in two packets and then was able to drink it. Do Canadians just not have a lot of sugar in their hot chocolates? She said the waffles were dry and tasted like fast food, just okay. I, on the other hand, really enjoyed my order. The Southwest wrap was tasty but the one con was that it was pretty oily. The turmeric golden latte was really good too. For some reason, I thought it was going to be gross and taste really strongly of turmeric, but that wasn't the case at all. I only ordered it because I had just gotten a sore throat and had a runny nose and I knew the turmeric would help. I tasted the turmeric but it wasn't overwhelming and gross and I tasted some cinnamon and it was honestly pretty good. I personally would definitely go back but considering my sister's order was meh, I would be careful with what I order. It sounds like some menu items are better than others. read more

Copper Branch - Golden Turmeric Latte - Vegan Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Known as the new "healthy" place in town, I had to try this place out! Got their most famous Aztec with salad greens and konyaku noodles, topped with teriyaki shiitake. I had asked for the vegan sour cream on the side, yet found a healthy dollop when I opened my box... I personally found the flavours of the bowl to be quite flat. The highlight was definitely the guacamole and shiitake mushrooms - not entirely sure if the mushrooms were dehydrated, but the shredded texture closely resembled pulled chicken. The bowl also felt fairly heavy; it didn't feel all that light nor healthy at all. My colleague gave similar comments, claiming that the protein was the only bit that was flavourful. Given the variety in the financial district, it'll be a while before I give this place another try. read more

I had not brown bagged that day and it so happened that I was extremely late for lunch. So around 3pm I venture out and within a short walking distance from my office I see this plant based takeout place in The Path. I see the picture of the Shitake Burger and my stomach growled. For about $11 including taxes I get a brown bag and rush back to the office. First impressions - did not look anywhere close to the picture in the store which luckily I had clicked. Aside from not looking as advertised I began to chow down. As you might relate to this - when you are starving anything you eat seems delicious; however it this case it was the opposite the burger missed the mark. My assumption was that there were pieces of fresh mushrooms, this tasted as soy mushroom processed pieces that I have tasted at Asian restaurants. This seemed run of the mill rather than the uniqueness I was hoping for. The toppings bothered me as well as it was too unflavoured. The over done bread/bun that didn't look like the picture wasn't helpful either. read more

We went to Copper Branch at Heartland for a casual Sunday brunch and ordered the spicy buffalo wings with garlic aioli and hot sauce and the carrot keftedes also with garlic aioli. The buffalo wings were the star of our meal! We were surprised by how meaty and juicy the wings were! They came with a handle which made dipping a breeze. On their own, the wings tasted mainly salty and grilled, not spicy as their name suggests. The garlic sauce provided the real flavour and it was a perfect creamy, garlicky blanket for those wings. I just wish the serving size had been larger. The hot sauce just added more salt, so I don't recommend it. In the end, the wings were tasty but 6 wings cost us 16$+ tax and I think that's way too steep for an appetizer-sized dish. And to top it off, Copper Branch charged me extra for a second, teeny dipping sauce! The carrot keftedes were baked balls of carrot, garlic, turmeric, fennel seeds, onion, fresh mint, organic chickpea flour, organic cornmeal, organic sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, organic corn flour and spices. The balls sounded nice on the menu, but they were just not that interesting IRL. Mild in flavor and soft in texture, I won't be ordering this dish again. Our friends were kind enough to let us sample their fries. Nicely seasoned and baked, the fries were not as crispy as I usually like, but they still tasted delicious and we still ate a lot of them! Try the hot almond chai latte. It was the right balance of creamy, sweet and nutty. So good! Let me know what you think about the wings! read more

Copper Branch breakfast options are great! I was so impressed by the gluten-free blueberry waffles (topped with maple butter? and blueberry compote), it was so thick and chewy. However, don't let it sit around for too long since once cooled the texture becomes quite dry and tastes a bit like cardboard. The quinoa breakfast bowl was also quite good. It was topped with big chunks of fresh fruit, so healthy and delicious! Also, the secret to making delicious breakfast quinoa may be to add some maple syrup. They are a plant-based eatery, so vegans and vegetarians rejoice! Portion sizes are very reasonable and prices are low. You can also order from them using the Feedback App in efforts to reduce food waste. For sure will be back :) read more

Vegan options in downtown Toronto, while definitely available, are not as enticing or plentiful as some of the legit neighborhoods. I was looking for a quick cheapish lunch before heading back to Pearson, so I wanted something relatively close to Union Station. Copper Branch had a decent looking menu (sandwiches, burgers, some salads, etc.) and price seemed reasonable enough. It was a bit challenging to find at first, but only because it didn't occur to me it would be in the underground shopping area of the building (didn't get much into that whole experience when I was in Toronto). So Copper Branch is part of a food court type area, but definitely not your normal food court fare (at least, not what you see in the States.) My partner and I decided on the TLT sandwich, some fries, and a small order of the wings. While none of the food really wowed me, it definitely served its purpose and was tasty nonetheless. The wings were made from the standard drumsticks you can find at many Asian grocery stores (or restaurants, for that matter). They were dressed up in buffalo sauce, but a pretty mild one (if you ask me). The aioli dressing they came with was good, but could have been better if it was more ranch-oriented. The TLT was a bit odd; more random veggies in it than I would expect. It wasn't bad per se, but not what you'd expect for that description. Fries were straightforward, though I would say the portion was generous for the price. So while I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, I'd definitely consider it an option if I needed something quick downtown. read more

As a vegan, I want to like this place so much, and we need places like this so bad in the financial district, but I can't, I can't go to Copper Branch any more. After about the 5th attempt, and trying something different every time, I gave a breakfast item a go, the South West Wrap Scramble. It's as if whoever made it threw everything on a crumpled wrap and used their fists to roll it up. The ends weren't closed in the least, so the excessive liquid poured on the paper wrap, down my fingers and my arms, and food just kept falling out. Taste wise, I'd give it a 7/10, so not great but not terrible, but it might have been the "best" tasting thing I've had there. This place is so convenient for me, and exactly the type of food I need, but I won't be returning. read more

Its my first time trying out this place, it's always crowded and I thought to myself, i should give it a try. I just had the General Copper bowl, on eats week by ritual because I will never pay this amount at a place Ive never tried, for a meal with no meat. I ended up not finishing the bowl and I eat anything, and devour all my food. Quality of each content in the bowl tastes awful and together ugh. The sauce is good, so they could have used more of that to mask the taste of the ugh. Quantity was too little as well. I get that this place is for vegans, and maybe thats why i (non vegan) hated it, but come on! Anyways, this just shows why ill never be vegan. That was just unnecessarily bad. I give it 2 stars and not 1 because I'm not vegan and benefit of the doubt and all that. read more

This review is based on my first experience only. The staff: definitely could have been more friendly. Maybe they had a really busy lunch service. Will forgive the slight attitude I received on this take out order. Food I tried the Mushroom Galaxy Burger - oven roasted portobello mushroom, eggplant, caramelized onions, Swiss style 'cheese', lettuce and aioli. It was DELICIOUS. Very flavourful and well seasoned. The soft sesame bun was super fresh. For me a sign of good vegan/vegetarian food is that you don't miss the meat. This burger makes you forget that it's vegan. Cost/Value My only gripe is, the cost. Like all vegan food, it's rather expensive. This small burger alone would definitely not be filling without a side. The burger is $10 after tax. That being said, I'm excited to go back and try everything else on the menu! read more

I have tried many vegetarian burgers at most restaurants and can count the good ones on a single hand :) This is one of them! I ordered Spicy Bean Burger and it was simply incredible! Despite being at peak hour and fairly busy, the service time was minimal. Am certainly planning to try other items on the menu. read more

I'm not vegan/vegetarian at all, but I enjoy eating meatless meals from time to time. I had the aztec bowl with the smoked tofu cubes and I was surprised just how much I enjoyed my bowl. The corn chips gave the overall box a nice crunch. The tofu cubes on the other hand were a little tough to chew. Even though I consider the price a little expensive for fast food lunch, I'm glad they at least stuff the box to the brim. Will defintely come back to try their other offerings. read more

I'm literally writing this as I finish my burger from Copper Branch. I rarely do this, usually, I need a lot of time to digest the place before I decide to write an informed review. I have to sadly give this place a 3.5 star, and I'll explain why I took off 0.5 stars. This is a 100% plant-based restaurant. It's located in Commerce Court so you get the hustle bustle of the financial district crew. You can see them preparing meals even though no one is there. With that said, there was no wait when I went. I decided to try their crab cake burger, I originally was thinking of a power bowl but their crab cake burger is limited. And I'm intrigued to have crab cakes that aren't crab. The burger was delicious and decent sized. Honestly, you can't even tell it's not real crab. It of course does not have the strong seafood taste but it tastes pretty close to a crab cake. The bun also tastes amazing. Unfortunately, there was no alfafa sprouts in my burger (per advertised) so that was a huge disappointment..I really like alfafa sprouts so I wasn't pleased to not see it in the burger. Yes, the burger still tasted amazing without the sprouts but it is a no-no to not include a key ingredient in the burger if your menu lists out. Despite that, I am still curious to try their other options here, so I am willing to give it a second chance. read more

I just love this place. Every time I go to there (Stranherd location) they never fail to provide great customer service and awesome vegan food. They have so many different options and all are different and great in their own way. It's not a repetitive taste like so many other vegan restaurants, each item is its own. The TBLT is a fav in our house, the cinnamon buns are a big hit! Everything is awesome! See you soon! read more

Eww. I got the quinoa breakfast bowl, and it is literally hunks of dry quinoa, huge soggy chunks of overripe banana, and hot pineapple with coconut on top. And I gave them about $6 for this gunk... Inedible and disappointing. read more

This is my go-to spot when I'm in the area for great tasting vegan food! a must try even for the non vegans!

I would recommend trying anything with the shitake mushrooms in it - they are very tasty. However, I find Copper Branch to be a bit overpriced when compared to other options in the area (the bowls here are ~$3 more than most alternatives and are also smaller). The burgers are also a bit overpriced, but do you really have another option when it comes to plant based food in the PATH? Otherwise, I think the food can hit you quite hard and you can feel a bit bloated and lethargic after eating here. I gave Copper Branch a try when I first started eating vegetables during the work week. My first order from Copper Branch was a portobello mushroom burger ($9.75); this turned me away from Copper Branch for quite a while. I took a bite into it and my tongue was burnt - it also was not that tasty. Two weeks later, I got tired of ordering the exact same thing from Kupfert & Kim every day. I gave Copper Branch another try - I got the shitake teriyaki burger ($9.75). Now, this is a fairly overpriced burger, just like the first - but this one actually tasted really good. From there on out, I actually frequented Copper Branch - I got either the general copper bowl ($14.25) or the shitake teriyaki burger ($9.75). Some times I order it with extra shitake, but I feel like it's just a bit too much at times. I don't know why, but after I eat at Copper Branch, I often feel a bit bloated and lethargic - the food is tasty though! read more

The Copper Branch restaurant in/near Oshawa is fantastic. This satellite food-court type of location is not that great. Staff aren't knowledgeable about their own food and five hours after eating there, the roof of my mouth is still feeling scalded from the boiling-hot, steaming water-logged mushroom in the Galaxy Burger. Hey, guys- if you are going to rush the cooking of the burger and not cool down the massive mushroom so it doesn't scald your customers at least warn me not to bite into this like a normal burger. Ouch! read more

First time trying vegan food and probably my last. It's an acquired taste and not for everyone. I had the mushroom galaxy burger and the Aztec bowl. Honestly nothing special more on the bland side. As for the mushroom burger the cheese tasted different more like goat cheese. Again, I'm sure it's good for vegan lovers- just not for me. read more

We've been loving our trips to Copper Branch. The food is truly delicious whether you're veg, just want to be "a little more vegan" or are a regular meat eater.

I was going to give this less than 5 stars because of the pricing, but had to ultimately go with 5 because the food was very good. I got the Southwest Wrap and the Buffalo Wings. They were both excellent. Truly. The issue is the pricing. The Southwest Wrap was priced correctly ($7.65). The Buffalo Wings, on the other hand, were ridiculous. These are normal-sized buffalo wings. Three for $8.45 and six for $15.95. That's over $2.50 per wing. Insanity. I paid once for the curiosity and loved them, but there is a 0% chance that I would order them again at that price. So, to the owners... Great job on the food! Keep it up. Also, great job on SOME of the pricing! But if you want people coming back, I would reevaluate some of those price tags. read more

Spicy black bean burger here is phenomenal. The fake chicken wings are also great, poutine is worth it especially if you add extra toppings.

Food was average. I paid more than avg $$ and what I got was bowl full of quinoa and barely any zucchini. Eggplant and broccoli were no where to be found. The rest, it was a generous portion no complaints. It did taste good. But for I paid I expect slightly more zucchini. All over disappointed. Oh I still remember the avocado toast that I bough for breakfast was falling all over the place read more

I got the new deluxe copper burger when they had them on promo for the week they released ($3.99 vs. $10 approx.), and it was to die for!

The only downside is the price they usually are, but it's a price I'd be willing to pay to have another for sure! read more

I've been eating here for a while now and it can be a bit hit and miss in terms of taste and/or portion size. The food is usually good but I do feel it's a bit pricy - especially as there aren't many vegetarian places to eat down town read more

First time being here. I got the Mushroom galaxy burger and a Chico salad. Loved the whole meal. The zucchini on the burger was cooked to perfection, loved the vegan Swiss cheese and aioli together. The salad had mung beans and barley mixed in for an amazing texture and came with a sweet balsamic dressing. Like people have said it's not cheap (16.50 for burger and salad) but the food certainly did not disappoint. Will come back to try more. read more

I had the shitaki teriyaki burger and a side of poutine. The burger was amazing, great texture and not dry at all. If I had just gotten the burger, this review would be 5/5. However, I'm giving this place 3/5 because the poutine was very dry, it could have had much more sauce. Also, the only condiments offered once you got your food were hot sauce, salt, and pepper. The hot sauce was not spicy at all. Also important to note: this place is fast food and located in the CIBC centre in a food court. The diverse menu made it seem like it was a sit down place. Hard to find if you've never been before. read more

Friendly service. Everybody was so helpful with the huge menu and all the choices! The recommended the shiitake teriake sandwhich and it was really good.

Copper Branch has some of the best vegetarian options I have ever encountered. Not only were they able to accommodate my dietary restrictions, they also packed a flavorful punch to my taste buds! My husband and I chose to share a medley of food and were not disappointed.

In addition, the staff was incredible and gave us plenty of recommendations! Some of the nicest people I've ever met! I will definitely be adding Copper Branch to my regular rotation of lunch spots! read more
