Vanessa Mills wants people to know she makes vegan food that doesn't suck. It's her passion and her lifestyle, and no surprise here, it's also the tagline of her business, Chomp Vegan Eatery in East Vancouver.
The 32-year-old life-loving, highly-principled restaurateur recently relocated her fully vegan and gluten-free digs from Port Moody to Fraser Street in November 2014, and partnered with Cera Rivers' Fairy Cakes, a nut-free, vegan specialty bakery cupcake shop.
So, what can vegans eat? "I get that question all the time," confesses Vanessa. "I can eat anything, really. It's not difficult or boring like people think. I create imaginative, original and a wide-range of flavourful dishes. I wanted to share that with people, provide options, and make it convenient for people to access. That's really the inspiration behind Chomp."
A popular Mount Pleasant takeout counter, Chomp has gained recognition across Vancouver for its creative and delicious (and nut-free, gluten-free and vegan) takes on traditional faves like sliders, lettuce wraps, pizza and sushi. Really pressed for time? Sign up for Chomp’s meal delivery service; you’ll get five different vegan meals delivered twice per week, prepared according to your dietary needs and tastes.
While Chomp offers a menu with many interesting vegan options such as a sweet potato pesto wrap, sliders and poutine, the real star of the show here is the selection of cupcakes. These sweet treats alone are well worth a visit. While the space is very small, it's well laid out and you shouldn't have to wait long for your meal. Grab a gluten-free cupcake for dessert, and you’ll have the perfect dining experience.
