Cruda Cafe - EAST TORONTO

The staff was unfriendly and unwelcoming. I may consider giving this restaurant another chance in the future, but my first visit left me with a negative impression. The woman at the front counter (possibly the owner) seemed to be discouraging potential customers.

I was excited to try out this restaurant. It is completely vegan and offers raw dishes, which is great. Located in the basement of the St. Lawrence market, it has a cozy atmosphere with a few plastic tables and chairs in front. I tried the enchilada wrap, which was large and tasty, but a bit bland in the end. We also had a couple of desserts, one of which was good, but we were not informed that the other one contained figs. Not everyone eats figs, especially vegans, so it would have been helpful to know beforehand. While the prices are on the higher side, the food does seem to be healthy.

Months later, we found ourselves at Lawerence Market and the only vegan option available was Cruda Café. Unfortunately, we were once again greeted by the same unfriendly lady. During my meal, I found a hair in my food, which was off-putting. Despite avoiding the part with the hair, I discovered another hair in a raw cracker and on my fork. I requested a refund and left, questioning the hygiene standards in the kitchen. Overall, I will not be returning to this café.

We found this jewel on our trip to St. Lawrence Market. My daughter had the Wild Mushroom Burger... And I had the Enchilada Wrap... DELICIOUS!! We also had the Dessert Pumpkin Pie and the Coconut Balls... YUMMY!! The Green Inner and Clean I drank a... fabulous lunch. Make sure to check this place!! Total vegan and totally fresh!!!

Lived in the suburbs all my life in Scarborough and finally went to the St.Lawrence Market for the first time. As a vegetarian i was not impressed with the market, i guess i was expecting far more veggies and fruit. but 95% of the market...is meat, fish and cheese. We were about to leave and find somewhere to eat on Front when at the last moment we came across Cruda Cafe. i was thrilled to find great healthy food!!! i ordered the raw Wild Mushroom Burger. it was delicious. i would recommend swinging by for a healthy lunch when in the area.
