9 of us were at U WLoo and it was lunch time. Somebody suggested pizza and I was OK, but one of the locals suggested CP. it was Monday of the Labour Day weekend and lucky for us they were open. The place was busy considering the whole downtown Kitchener looked deserted. The orders once placed on the counter we got them very quickly - almost like a quick serve restaurant which was very surprising.
We ordered quite a few stuff and we tried to mixup a few so that we could taste as much as possible. I personally ordered a Big Bang with Soup (the board said "Tomato and a few other things", so glad that this a Vegan friendly restaurant) and Chai Shake. The Chai Shake was 4.5/5. The subtle balanced taste of Chai and Bananas. We are not tea drinkers and this was perfect for me us. Not too sweet and too almond milk taste. Wish it was nice and cold, it was at best room temperature. The Bung Bang Tofu nicely crusted and seasoned. The toppings not so much. The Dill Aioli was weak and hot sauce as good as not there. The Soup was again room temperature which was a big downer for us. The taste was spicy - perhaps a lot of black peppers. It would have been perfect it was hot. 3.5/5 for the entire meal. The sandwich- 5/5. The kale slaw seemed a better option as I peaked at other orders.
Tasted quite a few other things, like the Angry Vegan - nothing angry about it. The Taco Salad fairly good. The Mango Creamsicle was OK (Too little mangoes in the smoothie). The Reuben Soho with Tempeh was OK. The Tempeh, again not one of our favourites and perhaps that played a role.
All in all a good restaurant and so glad that such an option exists in Kitchener. read more
