Remedy Cafe

Just go give it a shot, there’s a grand collection of good eats and vibes. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time there. One of my favorite places to eat and study!

My sister’s Veganism is rubbing off on me… I am starting to fall for Mr. Vegan… His Dashing good looks, those classic traditional styles with a hint modern day chic. And you know he’s totally fit, fine, and healthy… too hard to resist… He’s an acquired taste but if you acquire him he definitely has you hooked. Oh and did I mention he smells divine?
Tuesday night and my sister and I are starving for some wholesome comfort vegan Food. We drove around downtown and everything seems to be closed or closing. Then we thought Remedy! They must be open. We drove over and sure enough the bright open sign was on, thank goodness.
This is not our first visit here, we have been going to Remedy south side for over 10 years so that’s how we know that they must be open in downtown.
You first walk in and you know this place is the happening place. The rainbow of people from all walks of life has made their way over and I’m guessing it’s for the chai or food. Our first reaction was to go to the dessert window and see what treats are displayed. It never fails how good the dessert look and sound, plus there are vegan desserts that look too yummy.
We decided to get food first (our stomachs were crying from neglect). I got the vegan butter chicken with naan and my sister got a vegan dish but I am so sorry I forgot what she had but it looked good (I posted a pic). We also got their famous Chai. I highly recommend dining in because I think the mugs are so much bigger than the «to go» cups.
Our Chai was hot, warm, delicious, and full of crunchy almonds and coconut bits. Oh to die for…
It did not take long for our meals to arrive. My vegan butter chicken smelled so good and the naan was fluffy, light, and easy to eat with my sauce. I know my sister loved hers because I just saw her inhale her meal. By the end of it I was ultimately full that I could not be tempted by dessert.
This place it’s lovely, from the unique staff to the colourful patrons and décor. The food will always be the hearty comfort vegan meal that makes you’re belly sing and the chai is amazing. If you’re passing by grab a dessert it would not disappoint.
This is our go to place, whether it be the south side or the downtown location it never fails to impress.
I will always come back.

I love Remedy!!! So many vegan options, and always packed with people. We came last night (Tuesday) around 6:30 pm and it was full! My friend ordered a vegan chicken Indian wrap and loved it. I’ve tried their vegetable masala dosa before and I highly recommend it!

Interesting cross between a western and non-​western coffee shop. I really liked this place. The chais are much spicier than any western coffee shop, and really good. I had a chili chicken wrap that was crispy on the outside and came with a green sauce with a nice kick to it.
The vibe here is really casual. Might be hard to find a power outlet if you’re looking to use your laptop here — I managed to find one on one of the square tables by the window, but didn’t see many others.
This would definitely be a regular spot for me if I lived here.

As a Pakistani person, I wouldn’t call this authentic. But for what it is, they do a great job. The cappuccino, coffee, ginger chai, samosas, and wraps were yummy and well-​priced. Service is great. There’s a chill atmosphere perfect for lingering and writing reviews (as I’m doing), for catching up with girls, or for having a quick solo meal. There’s a bus stop immediately outside. Service is pretty great. The bathrooms are kind of a mess (you have to get key from front) — the women’s stall is held closed by a piece of duct tape, which is sketch at best.
Note: You have to pick up your drinks at the bar but the food is brought to the table.

This my second time here. It is better than my first time here.
I had the 2 samosa and chai combo for $ 7.50.
The samosas are pretty good, the ‘chai’ is perfect for white people and not objectionable to everyone else. The best that can be expected from a place as ‘hip’ as this.
Also they are open till midnight on a Sunday with free wifi. The perfect place to make a regular hangout in the downtown neighbourhood.
Overall can’t ask for much more.
