A look at why Dandelion is Calgary’s fave vegan spot


Vegan pals! How are ya? We hope you’re good, but we’re pretty sure you’re gonna be doing better after you see these pics of Dandelion. Calgary’s newest vegan cafe is seriously killing it, and we’ve got tons of proof to offer you.

The space is cute as heck. With bright pops of yellow, live plants, and a lot of natural light, it’s pretty hard to feel down in this place. Think wholesome, golden retriever puppy vibes.

As far as the menu goes, it’s pretty hard to go wrong here. However, if we have to pick faves, we’re pretty into their Chik-Tan Waffles. It doesn’t get much better than crispy southern seitan with gravy & maple syrup, does it? On the other hand, their Buckin’ Pancakes (gluten-free buckwheat pancakes with bananas, coconut whip cream, spiced pecans & date caramel) are pretty wicked too.


If you’re going for a heavier meal, we have to recommend the No Rules Burger. With a house-made lentil and quinoa patty and fresh veggies stacked between smashed plantain buns with cashew tzatziki, it’s dang tasty. Dive into those double-fried potatoes and lemon garlic aioli and feel your taste buds ascend to heaven.
