Vegan food truck, WHAT?!…read more "Do what you love" Jen, the owner lives up to that! Her passion are in her burritos, music, traveling, and loving life positively. I had her amazing gypsy burrito with chipotle field roast sausage. My non-vegan friend copied me, she was really impressed and declared, "I'd go vegan!" Hehe in a perfect world :). The food is wholesome and hearty. Vegan food is delicious! Give her a try and follow her on FB, if you have FB. I do not, but my non-vegan friend does! Jen will post her summer schedule, that way you can find her. :)

I decided to give it a go since I was trying to take break from the usual summer fare of burgers and other BBQ goods. There was a small line but it moved quickly. I ordered the black bean mini without the tortilla shell. The food came in a reasonable amount of time, the amount of time where you know they have spent some time preparing fresh food. The food ingredients looked fresh and crisp (not wilted). It the beans would have been extra great if they were seasoned. I felt that there could have been more herbs and spices added. Thank goodness there was a table with condiments such as hot sauce. I poured that hot sauce all over! Overall a good food truck to try when you want to detox from the usual food truck fare of greasy food and fried *insert whatever food is popular to fry* Expect basic simple flavours.

I chose an Iced Matcha Latte, Berry Bar, and West Coast Benedict, and my boyfriend got a Dirty Chai Latte, Maple Nut Bar, and Breakfast Wrap. The interior had plenty of seating, and mostly signage as decor. My Iced Matcha Latte was a bit watered down, but the flavor was decent. The West Coast Benedict was tasty and very filling, with perfectly poached eggs. The salmon was a little on the salty side, but overall I enjoyed it. The Berry Bar was probably my favorite part of the meal - great flavor, ideal level of sweetness! I tried a bite of the Maple Nut Bar, and that was fantastic, too. Would return to try more items!

Pomme worker(s) don't wear masks, act evasive and act untoward when confronted…read more I was in the Pomme store in Nanaimo at 7:30 PM on March 3rd, 2021. I grabbed a few things quickly and checked out. When checking out I noticed the cashier was wearing one of those small plastic chin strap guards. It doesn't even cover the nose, and is far from the mouth anyways. It's worthless as a mask. I said what "I think what you are wearing is useless as a mask". The cashier heel turned, "Well, I have my reasons for wearing it" and acted like I was untoward and none of my business. I've been wearing masks for everyone for the last year, to help reduce COVID infections and recent infections have a circuit breaker in April 2021 in BC. Because of this, I think not wearing a mask is not a cool move. Also, I would like to know before shopping if a store workers ignore health guidelines. Store was almost empty besides the cashier, so the cashier was a manager or well seen by the management.
