The Bayside Cafe

My wife's Birthday dinner was here. She's a vegan. Her parents joined us and are very traditional carnivores with a sceptical view on vegan food. To their surprise they found the meal very appetizing and cleaned their plates. The burgers we absolutely delicious, esp the ones with the pho bacun and cheeese. Curly fries are the bomb. The plate of Nachos went down without hestitation, the cheese on it was considered to be 'very good' for not being 'real' cheese. The service was prompt and courteous. I would absolutely return in the future.

My husband and I have been here about a dozen times and it's been amazing every time. We typically get burgers, wings, and drinks, and it feels like the closest thing to a casual burger joint for meat eaters. Everything we've tried on the menu has been good, the service has always been fast with the food coming out super fresh and hot, and the price is what you'd expect for vegan specialty items. We take non-vegans here as often as we can, and so far everyone has loved it. The decor itself is kitschy and weird and perfect. This isn't the place for fancy, organic vegan food; it's where you go to feel like you're at your local (delicious) burger joint.

The staff are all so friendly. The food is always amazing! I have meat eaters in my life who love the wings here and say they are the best imitation wings they have ever had. I love the new location, so much more space for events! The pulled porkless sandwich and curly fries are my go to but everything else I have tried has always been great!

Disclaimer: I’m not vegan. But this place is. Service was very good! The food however looked like I could buy it in any frozen food section at the grocery store. The pretzels and curly fries weren’t half bad! No tea no shade, however if you’re wondering, this place Is 100% vegan the signage just doesn’t show you.

I think the first highlight of this place is that they honored the restaurant before and built upon it. Not only is that a great business practice, but it's also sustainable and very on brand! The vibe was genuine and my daughter and I LOVED the music they had playing. There's information for community events at the entrance. We were greeted with kindness and took our seats, they provided my daughter with coloring crayons and a cute menu to color! The food was RIDICULOUSLY delicious and flavorful. The staff was knowledgeable about my daughter's condition and explained any potential food cross contamination. My daughter has not stopped talking about going back!
