Some of the best food in New Brunswick! Even better than a lot of things I had in Montreal, I got a soy chai, vegan chocolate banana muffins, and a vegepate vegan sandwich. So. So. So good! I really wasn't expecting much with the whole health food vibes thing, but everything was absolutely incredible! Definitely worth stopping in, especially if your plant based!

These folks know flavour! I ordered a sandwich that was a veggie "spread" with carrots. Well that does not describe this absolutely delicious sandwich. Great place awesome service, lovely tiny Payio and dog friendly. Worth thr 2.5 hours to get here!!

We have a camp on the Maine side of border. I was looking for a place with a fun vibe and delicious, healthy food. This place is all that and more. The falafel sandwich was delicious, and the cappuccino was spot on. So happy to have found this place!

We were on the road looking for a healthy restaurant or cafe to have lunch and a tea/coffee break on our road trip. My husband found this spot and we LOVE it. We’re heading back when we head home too. Their veggie sandwich was incredible and so filling. We bought extra veggie pate and we’re able to make our own sandwiches for days on the road. We also had their cream of vegetable soup and have nothing but amazing things to say again. You can tell they are passionate about their business with the way they prepare their food. The environment is calming too. Would recommend 11/10 and I just have to say it can be discouraging to not be to find healthy dining spots in general while on the road so we will share this little gem with the world!! Thank you and see you likely today again!!

Friendly, great food, warm welcoming atmosphere. Free parking (2hr limit) out front. Home-made date squares are to die for. High-speed internet. Great coffee and amazing chilled chai latte. Gluten-free sandwich etc options. The breakfast sandwich with side salad was awesome. Highly recommend.

I regularly get my latte and cookies from The Lotus. Louise (the owner) is all about respecting the coffee trade workers. She ensures her coffee is bio and of the greatest quality. The Lotus offers vegan food, cookies and a lot more. Their PMS cookies are delicious. The staff is super friendly and easy to talk to. The Lotus is the place to stop in Edmundston for great coffee.

We stopped into this little café on our way through New Brunswick last week. (We backtracked about 10mins on the highway to check it out because the reviews were so good and we were desperate for a quality breakfast). This place does not disappoint! We LOVE going to cafés and this one has some of the best coffee weve ever tasted! Its clear that the people working here love what they do and have a passion for good food and great coffee. If youre anywhere near here, I encourage you to take some time to sit and enjoy the zen atmosphere, and excellent service. I dont have a single complaint. It is worth getting off the highway to check out their adorable little establishment.

Staff are very friendly and chatty with customers fluently in both French and English, they have a wide selection of vegan and gluten-free options (including soy milk in the drinks for those avoiding dairy/lactose or who are vegan), there are meals to go in Mason jars, coffee machine supplies.. there is also a decently large sitting area and small gallery with paintings for sale. Will definitely be visiting again on future road trips! The chai latte, dirty chai and espresso date muffin were delicious! Thanks again :)

If you are going to visit Edmundston the Lotus Bleu is a must! If youre from Edmundston and youve never eaten at Lotus... youre missing out. One of the most interesting spots in town, the food is delicious and the team is always welcoming! We wont even talk about the coffee... without a doubt the best in town. Long live the Lotus!

Nice vibes, friendly service, cool interior. Impressive 11 years of history. The place was already busy when we arrived 10 minutes after the opening and almost full an hour before closing - obviously people like it here. We were lucky to get some seats and enjoy ourselves. Very good coffee, tasty falafel sandwich, yummy pumpkin soup and beetroot salad. Cant say it was a mind-blowing taste experience but still definitely very beautiful food and well deserved 5 stars! And the seating options are versatile - there are all sorts of seats, regular chairs, a cozy sofa, we tried them all Surely recommend to visit this lovely place if youre around the area.
