Inside WISK, Canada’s very first 100% keto cafe
What’s up new year’s resolution-makers, we’ve got great news! Keto just got a whole lot easier to eat-o. WISK, Canada’s very first low-carb, 100% keto cafe is now open, and ready for business.
Everything at WISK is sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, wheat-free and is only 5 net carbs or less. This sounds insanely restrictive, and we’ll be honest, we were pretty skeptical. A life without garlic bread or pasta or cake hardly sounds like a life well-lived, but these guys came through and we’re mighty impressed.
Health nuts can curb their cravings with one of their dairy-heavy paninis like The Bees Cheese, a three cheese blend with tomatoes and basil. Or, dive into the TK Rancher, a burger stand-in with beef, house-made ketchup, red peppers and red onion.

Paninis were the last thing we thought we’d see listed on the lunch board of a keto joint, but in addition to mid-day favourites like flavourful soups and their signature Leanbacks, paninis make up a large part of the menu.
If you’re like us and had absolutely no idea what a Leanback was before WISK, it’s best compared to a donut or a cream puff. The idea is that this “fat bomb” will basically curb your sugar cravings while eating keto. These Timbit-sized desserts range from sweet to sweeter and are packed with chocolate and custard.
WISK in Inglewood is open from 11 AM – 8 PM, Tuesday to Sunday every week. If you’re not on the keto wagon, it’s still worth checking it out, even if it is just to see the black magic that is the “healthy eclair” up close and personal.
