The Workshop Vegetarian Café

I have never tried a vegetarian onigiri before and it was delicious! Thanks for catering Granted's team event! We ate and left no crumbs

Used to eat here for lunch all the time. Lots of healthy and tasty options and really great staff.

This is one of my go to places on the north shore for great tasting healthy food. The food is organic and prepared in house. Even the ramen "noods" are made on premise. Yes, it costs a bit more but delicious food, high quality, and great service should. Worth every penny. We spent about $40.lunch for 2.

I had a great first experience! The cafe looks amazing and there’s so many local/small business products to support. The team is beyond friendly and kind! Way to go! Coming back whenever I’m in North Van! I also got to sample the new ramen noodles and it was so tasty!

I didn’t think I would like a vegan ramen but the broth is pretty full bodied. Also when you throw on the eggs it feels very satisfying. Get their extra spicy you can handle it!

Holy smokes, I can't believe they've been around since 2016 and it's taking me this long to write a review. We're a huge fan of a number of their products including their house-made kimchee (best in town - our entire family, my mom, aunt all agree) and baked goods but really wanted to shut out for their Spicy Tan Tan frozen soup/broth product. So tasty. Realllllly convenient as you can buy a whole bunch at at time and leave them in your freezer for those days you don't feel like cooking.

Get their ramen noodles, add some bokchoy, julienned carrots and green onions, and voila, you've got fantastic quick dinner with just enough spicyness (though my son likes to add some chili oil - he's a crazy one). Tasty and fast. You can't beat it.

I don’t know about their food but their cargo van cut me off yesterday. It almost got me into an accident.

A charming place with fresh ingredients on salads or soups (ramen-style).
Noodles were cooked aldente and the sauces were tasty!
The team was welcoming and very curteous and prepared our dishes diligently

We do recommend for a vegan lunch!

One of my fave places to eat in North Van. Vegetarian and vegan menu and take home grocery and prepped meals. Delish!

Best Raman spot in North Vancouver, easily. Fantastic brothes. Wife had a warm Acai bowl which was a different take on your typical cold acai bowls; was more like a granola, which was fantastic.

They have a great selection of other dishes as well

Noodle dishes are not served until after 11: 00 so take note as the store itself opens at 8: 00.

After the New Year holidays, this place increased ramen price from $16 to $19. Price range was already high to begin with before this increase. Definitely no longer worthwhile for the average consumer: (

That’s awesome. What a fun experience. Good food nice service good ambiance for a healthy meal.

This is THE only go to place for tasty ramen noodles on the North Shore. You can’t go wrong eating yummy organic ramen at reasonable prices. I always have the spicy tan tan ramen. It’s served either cold or ho in their signature creamy organic butternut squash broth & rayu chilli oil. It definitely warms the soul on a cold winter day. We also had the shoyu ramen in mushroom broth with truffle-shallot oil. It was a treat to try their handcrafted vegan steam bun. Delish.

They are an ideal eatery for vegetarians and vegans. They also offer frozen vegan ramen noodles at various food places such as IGA, Meridian Farm Market & Stongs. Check their website for various locations. Unfortunately, they are only open for lunch on weekdays from 11 am to 6 pm Mon to Friday. If you enjoy eating healthy and organic food, you can’t go wrong here. They’re located off Marine Drive and Pemberton in North Vancouver.

This cafe is so awesome for you vegans and vegetarians who don’t want to compromise the taste of food and what also feels like quite wholesome ingredients being used.

We ordered the tan yam noodles, shoyu and a few cookies. The noodles were house made from whole wheat, and pretty decent. I’d say the highlight to their ramen was the broth. The shoyu broth had a very strong mushroom flavour with a touch of truffle, while the tantan was a lighter brother and spicier. The portion size was also a good amount to make you full. My only complaint is I felt they could’ve loaded it with more toppings, because each dish in itself Id already $15 and if you want to add protein (tofu or egg), it’s an additional $3, which Id pretty steep.

As for the cookies, they were mainly vegan and a very subtle sweet. It’s not a cheat day cookie, but more if you just want something slightly sweet to take the craving away.

Lastly, they have a shop that sells a handful of their products in frozen form to take home and make, which I thought was best. Picked up some soy protein and hot and sour soup for myself to try.

Overall, if you’re looking for a good asian-ish vegan place that uses wholesome ingredients, you gotta check this place out. It’s great!

Love this place! They have hot chocolate that is vegan friendly so anyone who don't consume dairy can enjoy it. Also the dressing for the rice bowl is amazingly good.

Great tasting menu options and very quick turn around time once ordered. My go to is the Hoto Udon bowl with rice noodles to keep it gluten free and it’s delicious! Staff are always friendly, highly recommend.

Their avocado toast is incredible, vegan ramen is delicious and hot drinks are perfect. We love Workshop — always awesome service, yum food and a great experience. You can get their bowls at Nesters North Van now too!

It was a great experience eating there. Staff is super friendly, the food is one of the best we ever tried in Canada. A lot of homemade products. Big ️ for the Kombucha and Mushrooms ramen. Thank you!

I found The Workshop on Door Dash, and let me tell you iIm glad I did. The Organic Spicy Tan Tan Raman (v) was so delicious, I will definitely making my way over to the restaurant to try more dishes!

Had the Nama Shoyu Ramen w/egg. Broth was very flavorful and the noodles were good too. Enjoyed the meal! The service was really friendly and I will be back for sure.

This place is my go to, it's seriously dope.go try it, you won't be disappointed.

I just wish they were open on weekends again, or maybe later in the evening.

Absolutely delicious vegetarian ramen - i had the Spicy Tan Tan and was thoroughly impressed. So much flavour. Great and friendly service even during the busy lunch rush. Highly recommend

Had the take out teriyaki burger and it was delicious! Was not expecting Japanese style vegetarian menu. Will definitely be back to try more.

I always enjoy my meal. Good service. Love all the vegan treats. Spicy tan tan is a all time favourite.

Love the Tan Tan Ramen. A delicious and cozy meal on a rainy day. Service is always great and frozen section is awesome!

Yummy food. Enjoyed every time we go there and eat; and at home with their frozen line which we declined to carry in our store.

Very clean place and really good food. I had the truffle mushroom Ramen and 2 pieces of avocado toast. It was delicious

This place has hands down THE best vegetarian food in Vancouver ⁣⁣
⁣
Picture 1: Their avocado toast on natural yeast bread with cherry tomatoes, chilli flakes & herb oil. This is to die for! ⁣
Picture 2: Their organic spicy tan tan ramen, which features a creamy butternut squash broth with housemade noodles, nut medley, rayu chilli oil. So tasty! ⁣
⁣
Also, their matcha latte was incredible ⁣

I had the ramen. It was good but not $25 good. Super expensive for some birth with noodles and a tiny bit of tofu.

Loved the shop! Everyone in the shop speak fluent English! All the menus are printed in well written English.

Oh my! If could have the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen everyday, I would! Noodles are made in house and squash broth/but medley is so hearty. Lots of vegan baked goods as well which are amazing (chocolate croissants, cinnamon buns), not to mention the many flavours of mochi!

Serves some of my favourite food! Love the atmosphere and staff.the food is always 5/5 and lots of vegan options!

Amazing experience. Staff are super friendly and everything is made in house. If you have allergies they will make something for you!

A great change from the over rated coffee chains. Vegan and gluten free meal options made with love!

I’ve wanted to try this place for some time.
We were very disappointed.
For $16 for a noodle dish, it best be outstanding.
It wasn’t even close. The spicy tan tan wasn’t even close to spicy. The noodles were over cooked and no real substance to the meal, even with smoked tofu added. The tofu was cut way to small.
So $54 for 2 bowls and 2 drinks was about $24 to much.
Not sure how much repeat business they get, but after this we will not be back.

My 2cts.

I had a great Buddha Bowl - fresh ingredients, perfect quantity. The place is great and the food delicious, I had a muffin as well - gluten free. Very good choice.:)

Unbelievably tasty food! OMG! This is the BEST vegetarian eatery I've visited besides Acorn! The handmade udon and ramen noodles are to die for! Three little embellishments on each plate make the food as attractive visually as it is gastronomically! My food had crunchy, fine hair like red vegetable decoration that looked like saffron, but was red! The Japanese influence on the food is what makes it take delightful. The prices range from $12 to $16 making it accessable to the majority! I am thrilled to find a huge selection of gluten free, vegan baked goodies on offer too!?

Spicy tan tan ramen. Delicious. We all need our veggies. Happy to have them on the shore. Convenient street parking. Clean. Fast service to table. Good variety on the menu

This Spicy Tan Tan ramen at this café is definitely one of the best vegetarian ramen I've ever had and possibly the best one in Vancouver as well! The service was quick and the staff was friendly and super humble (when I complemented them on their ramen being probably the best in town, they started chatting about other good ramen places I should try)! The rest of the menu seemed pretty interesting too! Will definitely be back

Don't tell my wife I went here without her, she's the vegan not me. I guess we could say I was scouting the location to be sure the quality was right. The Buddha bowl and miso gravy was amazing and the espresso is perfect. WE will be going back here together for sure.

Excellent ramen, excellent service clean and relaxed vibe! Would rather go here than danbo or other more popular ramen places in Vancouver as there is more accessible parking and full vegetarian menu options.

I'm all for vegetarian food, so I appreciate that this cafe caters to that. However, $16 for some noodles and onions in basic broth? No thank you. I will stick to Buddha-Full, - at least they offer more ingredients and are organic.

We recently had a catered company lunch through The Workshop. The food was good. It was what was expected, coming from a non vegetarian. The ironic part I found with this restaurant is their company promise. They claim to support sustainability, fair trade and eco friendly policies yet the food that was delivered were all in single use plastic containers. I think if the restaurant truly believes in being eco friendly they should consider alternate solutions for their take out option.

I love this place. I normally order tan tan ramen with egg. Cold day is warm one, hot day is cold one both are delicious! I tried nama shouyu but I prefer tan tan. Its so creamy and filling my stomach well. Their barking things are great too. Service is always nice n friendly. One of my go to place:)

I tried them for the first time and it was really good. My only reason for not giving a five star rating is because If I'm eating a vegetarian meal I would expect to have a bit more vegetables. Otherwise I would definitely go back.

Completely vegetarian cafe. Have many verity of Ramen and savory dishes. We got spicy tam tam ramen and pizza toast. Amazing test. This cafe is located in north Vancouver, near stanley park.

Amazing local vegetarian fare. Small grocery area and fresh baked goods. Beautiful soups. Must-know for vegetarians, vegan and conscious eaters.

Great restaurant with amazing food. I had the Nama Shoyu Ramen which was great and everybody else I was with equally enjoyed their meals.

We were so lucky to have visited this place by chance on our trip up from the US. Delicious product and friendly service, in a great space with lots of on street parking. The croissant was the best I've had in a good long time. Delicious!

This place is a wonderful addition to the neighbourhood! The Workshop has excellent service and food. I love the spicy tan tan ramen and rice noodles with cashew sauce. The ginger turmeric and yuzu lattes are very tasty.

My absolute fave vegan ramen place of all times. Tan tan ramen is the go to when in doubt, no regrets. I'll need to expand my tastebuds and try something else on the menu hahaha.

Also bakery wise: can't go wrong with either matcha or Yuzu mochi cakes (get both to go) ️️️️

It was nice, but the selection could be larger as well as the portions. I am 50 kg and I could have had 2 Portions with would have costed $ 25+ for a simple lunch

I’ve been here quite a few times now and every time it’s the same great service, quality and flavours.
Staff is always humble, friendly, and accommodating.
Food is always fresh and tasty! The organic ingredients make the flavours just radiate.
The atmosphere is relaxed and the ample natural light makes this place super chill and comforting.
I highly recommend this cafe to anyone.

Nama Shoyu Ramen is a must try & the Pizza Toast. Even if you not vegetarian, this is a place that will change your Ramen experience. Highly recommend!
