Sarcoa: home of Hamilton's worst and most expensive vegan entree?

So I went to Sarcoa with friends and tried the "Veg Bib Lettuce Wraps" which was described as "Pickles Vegetables, Spicy Relish".  When the plate came I was surprised to see that I was paying $14 for 7 pieces of iceberg lettuce, raw julienned red and yellow peppers, some red onion and mango and a little cup of relish, which was not spicy (at all!). 

Here is a horrible photo of it to show the portion size 

Though I was happy to see they had a vegan option I was pretty disappointed by how boring and unsatisfying it was.  I feel like the chef was trying to provide something that would work for all of us with picky diets (raw, vegan, gluten-free, allergen- free) but they seemed to simply forget that people with these diets still like food with flavor and substance! 

Anyway, I had a good time laughing at the balls that Sarcoa has to serve this $14 glorified salad. 

The place is fairly is new so hopefully they can work out kinks like this and come back with something as impressive as their location on the bay-front.

Sestres Coffeeshop, so vegan, so delightful!

Cranberry Swirl, Queen, Triple Pleasure, Coconut Beehive

Try the ALL the pastries. They are cute and fancy and delicious! My favorites so far are the Queen (very decadent) and the Triple Pleasure which is surprisingly light, but everything is very yummy and there is always a great assortment of treats to choose from.

Some of the treats from a ready-made vegan box:
baklava, queens, triple pleasure, strawberry squares (?) and some swirls and walnut bites

Sestres also serves tea, organic coffee and more coffee things. They have soymilk available too.

This place is definitely worth checking out. The owner has all of the vegan goodies lined up on their own shelf in the storefront so it's clear what is vegan. She also has ready made mixed treat boxes to grab and go, and even does catering and will make full sized cakes on request.

 The shop itself is adorable and cheery. It has a couple little tables and is a really nice place to sit with some goodies and a coffee. I'm so happy to have it in Hamilton!
