Copper Branch in Waterloo

Vegetarian options: chocolate smoothie, added avocado Food

Cant speak to the service or atmosphere, because Ive only ordered in, but the food is delicious. One of my favourite spots in KW, and Im an omnivore! I rarely bother to write reviews, but this place deserves it.

The shiitake teriyaki burger was amazing, will be coming back for more. Vegetarian options: They have vegan versions available for most things (if not all, I haven t checked) on the menu Food : 5/5 |

Great place with interesting menu for vegan items and drinks. Vegetarian options: Everything is vegetarian. Food : 4/5 |

Vegan delight. A must go.

Yummy vegan food and very affordable which was a bonus!

Food was very good. I had one issue when I went to pick up but the person who served me dealt promptly with it.

Great vegan restaurant. Eco friendly in many aspects other than foods themselves too. Food

Delicious

Food is amazing!

As always going for the vegan options, and here everything is vegan Visiting the city and staying close by, which is why I have visited a few times by now. For now I have only tasted the Super Food Bowl, but just because it is sooo good You order from at electronic station, which is nice and easy. Can definitely recommend this place. However the table coating is sticky because it s worn or cleaned with something that destroys the coating. And the decor is , well I ve seen better. So I ll sit outside. On that note it is the street is very noisy.

Not only did they forget my cinnamon bun in my order. My tacos which cost $17 barely had any chicken strips (they were tiny 2-3 cubes hidden under a bunch of sauce and majority of it was coleslaw). Also my smoked tempeh sandwich had none of the supposed provolone cheese. Even the pumpkin spiced latte was lacking any sweetness. I paid over $50 for this. My meal was mediocre. Its very expensive too. The food wasnt as nice as the photos. Dont know if I would order again....

I like this restaurant because it has mostly vegan options and an abundance of vegetables, however why do you not have your nutrition info properly displayed? On your website it doesn t include all menu items and is from Jan 2022.

Great spot for both healthy and delicious food. All plant based and we have never been disappointed. Some favourites include the General Copper Bowl, Cobb Salad, if you want to indulge the poutine and cheesecake are amazing.

The best. We will be back

Healthy, good flavour and decently priced.

Love it ! Go back often ! Love the general copper bowl with quinoa !

First time eating here and it was enjoyable. Portion size good. I left full and couldnt finish my last few bites. Definitely be back.

Amazing. Loved the staff. Menu is beautiful.

Quality is definitely slipping. The food and service used to be incredible, but the last two times I ve eaten in and ordered delivery it has been disappointing. I ordered the Asian Fusion bowl and a zucchini brownie yesterday. The quinoa was overdone and almost mushy, along with the chickpeas. Nobody wants mush in a bowl of raw or fresh veggies. Also the shiitake teriyaki I added as an extra usually has a specific texture, and it was not the same, again too soft/mushy. The zucchini brownie which used to be very moist and delicious was dry. Hopefully this was just an anomaly and they stick to the old quality standards and details for food prep. Also disappointing that they have taken the konjac noodles base off their menu (they were amazing with the General Copper Bowl).

Best vegan nachos in town! Great service, lovely staff, and always clean :)

Thank you! Everything was perfect!

Parking: Uptown waterloo parking. Its free for 2 hrs during working hrs. Food

The service and the atmosphere was great, really relaxing and welcoming. The food however was really salty. We didnt even finish the food and just left. We had the Copper Bowl and the Sweet Potato fries.

Ordered a catered lunch for 20+ students based on positive recommendations - Copper Branch didn t not disappoint!! Service was prompt, organized, and friendly. The food was delicious and carefully prepared, delivered with care and kindness. Highly recommend.

Everything on the menu looked tempting. What we ordered was great

Great spot. You dont need to be a vegetarian or vegan to love this place.

Accessible menu, amazing food, and the tables are typically always clean! Plus the food is served in an aesthetically pleasing way. Staff are kind, and I love that I can either whip out my laptop to study or bring a friend here for a sit down meal. Perfect causal/formal balance. Thanks!!

Lovely ambience and excellent food.. service was lovely too

Delicious and original food

Yummy vegan spot! The Edison electric smoothie is the best! Its like beautiful mix of chai tea, hemp seeds, almond milk, and a variety of fruits. You can add vegan protein powder too! The sweet potatoes cubes are also so so so good! Well seasoned and super filling. Definitely a go to spot for me, you really need to stop by and try it out!

Best vegan restaurant in uptown. Love the spicy black bean burger and Asian fusion bowl.

The food looked so good that we forgot to take pictures of it! We got the General Copper Bowl and the chili - absolutely amazing! Tasted really fresh and wasn t too expensive because the portions were above average. Service was also quick. Highly recommend.

As a non-vegan who was looking for healthier food options, I really enjoyed this place!

Not a fan of the General Tao Bowl.

Enjoyed my family-brunch very much!! Vegetarian options: I have some extremely vegan family, and everyone enjoyed the meal tons Food : 4/5 |

The one girl who works there (I didn t get her name) was super attentive and knowledgeable about the vegan food they re serving and her favourite dishes. She was very helpful helping me decide what I wanted

Excellent vegan food, great taste, and good sized portions.Lovely hosts.

this place is the best! i love everything ive tried! Kid-friendliness: comfortable for kids and good kid options!

Surprised by how good this was! Expected overpriced bowl of rice like Chopped Leaf but this was full of flavour and variety. Nice spot, too.

It is always really nice for us to go to a vegan place with tasty dishes, which gives us a pice of mind as our little boy is allergic to eggs. The staff went above and beyond to help us with our selection and to accomodate our request to our kids.

Very disappointed. I paid extra to switch my brown rice for lettuce and literally received 3 leaves of lettuce hidden at the bottom. Not an exaggeration. For $20 dollars. I should have gone somewhere else.

A go when it town, never disappointed always great food

Amazing! I got the poutine and it was delicious. A great portion at a pretty reasonable price. My friend got the bao buns and they were also really good! Nice sit down area and helpful staff to answer all the questions asked. Will return!

Vegetarian options: Delicious and several options Dietary restrictions: Veg/vegan food in abundance. Very fresh Food : 5/5 |

Food

Not actually vegan. I have a severe egg allergy, ordered a breakfast sandwich and had a severe allergic reaction after just 2 bites.

The best vegan spot to go to! I love their burgers so much because theyre actually really filling.

I ve only ordered online but as a vegan I d say their food is 10/10

Decent spot for vegan food for the price/quality. We got the Quinoa Chilli (quite hearty!) and the General Tao Bao buns (flavourful toppings but buns felt dry). Definitely want to try Copper Brnach again sometime! Vegetarian options: All food is vegan / vegetarian Parking: Uptown Waterloo has plenty of parking options both free and paid, especially in the evening. Might not find something right next to the restaurant though.

Ordered the copper bowl and mushroom soup. Both revolting. What a waste of perfectly good veggies and $30

The food was excellent. And our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely go there for the mock wings and burger.

Food: The quality and taste of the food does not warrant the price at all. Overpriced freezer food with no flavour. Got a bagel sandwich and it was try, flavourless, and basically burnt. All for the low low price or $13. You re better off going to the Starbucks across the street. No wonder the place was empty when I went in, should ve been my first clue. Service: The service was okay. The workers are nice but disappear to the back most of the time. Also, I don t know why they insist on sweeping dirt in your direction when there s only 2 customers in the store. I get keeping the place clean, but can they not sweep in areas where there s no one seated and wait till the customer has left. Sweeping under my table while im eating feels like you want me to leave.

Celiac vegan heaven. I have been vegan for years and often feel like my cooking is better than spending money at a vegan restaurant (in the US, but still), and this place is the exception! I ordered the TBLT and nachos and both were fantastic! I couldnt be happier with the food and service.

I felt like I have found a milestones it was a totally different experience there and love the food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I ate 2 copper bowls in buy 1 get 1 free offer... 2 bowls in just 18 bucks... N the lady there was friendly enough to let me do some substitutions so that I can get my 2 different bowls of choices...

The best salads ever!

Excellent and fast service, friendly staff. Good food.

Great variety of vagan food.

Was honestly prepared to be disappointed but it was actually p good

Im not a vegan but my daughter made us come here for dinner. It was great!

Edit After I got a good meal before, I ordered yesterday a take out and came home to find my food was burned and placed inside my takeout box. Very disappointed. I surely didnt pay for burned side dishes. Very good vegan/vegetarian takeout. Portions are plenty and very tasty. Will definitely order there in the future

My first time there. I had the mini Aztec bowl and it was fantastic. I would definitely visit again

This place is amazing!! Ive never had such a delicious and complete vegetarian meal when eating take out. I recommend the General Copper bowl. It is sooo good and sooo filling!

Food was so yummy and staff was kind and helpful

I had Asian fusion salad . You can see in the picture it has a lot of proteins (edamame, tofu, broccoli, carrots, beetroot) also kimchi that gives it an Asian touch. You can customize it as per your choice, I took brown rice with it. It was so healthy and delicious

Very tasty as always, fast and friendly service, helpful advice from cashier, nice atmosphere.

Delicious vegan menu. Shiitake pulled pork sandwich was mind blowing

I found this place very disappointing. The rise of well made plant based substitutes had my hopes high, but this isnt one of those kinds of places. My partner and I couldnt even finish our foods because they were so bad (tasted neither like a proper substitute nor even good by its own merit). Even the water tasted very off. Wish I could have gotten my money back.

Always kind, & made good.

Okay, I used to not be a fan of Copper Branch. But my husband randomly picked up food from here for me after delivering my son. And needless to say, that is all I request to order now when we do take out. I usually either get the General Copper Bowl (love!) Or the BBQ chicken flatbread (also love, the bread itself is pretty dry and not my fav part but I like the flavour and that it is gluten free so my stomach doesnt feel super heavy after ordering it). And we ALWAYS order their cinnamon buns. Sadly, they sell out pretty regularly with them. So occasionally I get the chocolate zucchini brownie which is incredibly moist and not too heavy and sweet. There cheesecake is pretty good, nothing amazing in my opinion. I do love their food, but my husband does not always enjoy ordering from them as they have left out items or replaced things if they didnt have it when ordering from Ubereats, which can be frustrating.

YUMMY. Expensive but worth it. Brownie us especially good. They discontinued my fav juice tho.

Found this place when we were in Kitchener and googled what vegan food was open at the time and we have been back a couple of times since. As a vegan couple, I cant tell you how awesome it is to have SO many vegan options. Breakfast, dessert, smoothies, dinner food.. will keep coming back for sure!

Healthy. Filling. Delicious. Comfortable.

Great food, friendly staff, and clean.

Food was great tasty and worth the price but I had a rubber band in my bowl, chewed and spat it out kinda ruined it for me

Best delicious vegan food

My boyfriend and I ordered from the Copper Branch for delivery - I had heard so many positive things about this place, but I was disappointed by the food we received. I ordered the Galaxy Mushroom Burger - it was incredibly wet by the time I had unpacked it, the bun was completely soaked through and all the toppings fell out as soon as I picked it up - but it did taste good. My boyfriend ordered the Spicy Tuna Bao Buns, he said they were too small and lacked flavour, which was the same case for the container of oven-baked fries we split. Id be willing to give Copper Branch another chance for in-person dining, but I wont be ordering takeout or delivery from them again.

My fave here is Aztec. One of the many things youll love about Copper Branch is, they dont waste time!

Just perfect

Absolutely perfect food, and no cruelty involved making it Vegetarian options: Yippee Dietary restrictions: Completely vegan, completely delicious

Its vegan but tastes good. Vegetarian options: Its all vegan so its all vegetarian too Dietary restrictions: All vegan

Love the food here!!! It always freakin delicious. Vegetarian options: Great vegan food!! Food : 5/5 |

Bad food, bad service! Chips were soggy and tasteless. The burger was uncooked with absolute no flavour. Staff didn t seem to keen to serve either!

Really enjoyed the flat bread pizza. It was delicious and filling! Wheelchair accessibility: Entrance level with sidewalk and lots of room inside Food : 5/5 |

I ordered chilli quinoa today which was so absurd as of now i am scared of eating chilli quinoa. Keto bun is also a waste of money. Garlic bread and blueberry overnight oats was okay okay.

Never got to try their food, ordered Uber, haven t had breakfast and finally had a break to quickly eat something to find out there was no utensils even though I ve made sure it was indicated in the order. Very upsetting as i wasn t able to eat the food within the 15 minutes of break i had that day and by the time i got home, the food was 4 hours cold. Can t say i can give them any rating as i toss the food. I called the restaurant and because the manager wasn t there they couldn t do anything about it. I honestly wanted a refund for something i paid for but never got to tried but since the manager wasn t there, i wasn t able to get that as well.

Loved the Galaxy mushroom burger, so delicious, one of best vegetable burger I had. But the potato fries werent that good, they tasted blanc. Can expect more mushrooms in the burger for that price. The staff are warm and welcoming, will try black bean burger next time.

Very yummy, quite expensive though

Just eat there. Just do it. You won t regret it.

Nice vegan casual food. I ordered delivery over Uber Eats on Valentines Day and was happy with the taste and condition of my Aztec Bowl.

Lots of options and fantastic quality. It is on the pricey side, but its definitely worth it (especially the smoothies!). Friendly staff and fast service. I highly recommend Copper Branch for vegetarian/ vegan folks :)

I NEVER eat vegan or vegetarian food!! I usually find it bland and not filling. I ordered copper branch for lunch to switch it up because Im bored of the same old greasy food and boy am I ever glad I did!!!! So delicious, budget friendly and SO FILLING! I will be ordering from this place frequently going forward

Healthy never tasted so good... fantastic food!!

I had the keto bowl with side rice roll and a green juice. I was impressed by the selection of keto dishes they offered because not many plant based restaurants carter to the keto diet even tho the diet is popular and even if the restaurant is plant based. Absolutely delicious, flavourful and perfect! The quality of ingredients worth every penny! Happy to see staff following Covid 19 regulation. Overall positive experience and healthy would recommend to anyone visiting uptown Waterloo for lunch.

Very delicious food, and affordable prices. I am in love with all their bowls, tasted their pumpkin soup and had their giant bacon tempeh sandwich. All tastes amazing, even my meat lover hubby loves their food.

This place has amazing food. Definitely try it. Im not vegan but every now and then I will eat it. Try the mushroom burger and sweet potatoes. You will be quite satisfied. The staff is very nice. The only complaint I have is that the washrooms werent clean. During a pandemic thats kind of alarming.

Always amazing food here. There needs to be more restaurants like this in the area: even if you arent vegan you have to admit its awesome to have some healthy fast food. And delicious too. I definitely recommend the Maple Tempeh Sandwich.

This restaurant is absolutely the best! The food is super fresh and extremely tasty and the staff is outstanding and go out of their way to make it the WAY you want it if its not on the menu! Thank goodness we found this place!

As somebody who isn t a huge fan of vegan food this place is amazing, the general Taos has the best meat substitute I have ever eaten and everything was fresh and delicious even with minimal sauce.

Cant go wrong!

Loved the sweet potato cubes generous portion; & the Just Egg Wrap tasty, sauce a bit runny. My husband isnt a Vegan fan; but he enjoyed the corn chowder; & fries, not so find of the chicken fingers. I definitely want to try the GF pumpernickel bagel next time. Look forward to ordering from Copper Branch again soon. Are the GF Bagels homemade?

Today not good service for delivery

Love this place!! Food is amazing.

I found they put too much sauce on their burgers. But the patty had good flavor so next time ill just order no sauce.

so happy to have walked by accidentally. beautiful breakfast sandwich. very nice light bagle. much health.

Tasty, genuine, affordable, good service, different.

Very yummy and filling! I had the Aristotle bowl and it was a good amount of food, I could hardly finish it. I m not a vegan but it was delish

Really good food

Support local business, food is awesome. Its always fresh!!! Great job!

Havent had anything yet that disappointed me, all around excellent food

Got a keto bowl. Didnt like the flavour. Plant-based doesnt have to be bland.

Food was ok but they gave attitude and seemed to not know their own menu

I ve ordered from here a few times and never disappointed. The sweet potato poutine is great and so are the nachos. Great gluten free and vegan options. A must try for vegans and non vegans alike !

I wasnt obsessed with the bowl I ordered but my (meat-eater) roommate was in love with her beat burger and would not stop talking about it all day. Takeout was prepared quickly and there was lots of selection!

Its a good plant based and organic menu. Good choices and the portions and prices are not bad either.

so yummy i love the burrito!! highly recommend ordering it with chikn and mozzarella extra charge but so worth it!!!!!

We wanted a healthy meal for our family on a lazy Sunday evening, and took a chance on a restaurant that I hadnt heard of before. There were a number of interesting options, and while I wanted to try the burger options, the Power Bowls were what caught my eye. We ordered the Copper General (for me), the Aristotle, and the Poke (for a picky eight year-old). The freshness and quality of the ingredients was top notch, and after we talked about how good the food was, and after sharing some of each others, we promised that we would return. Now, we arent vegetarians, but the food was incredibly satisfying and the subtle spicing was on point... and the slight heat to the Copper General was perfect. Next time, I am very interested in trying some of the meatless burger options to see if they can do with a burger what they have accomplished with their Power Bowls. Will absolutely be back, and recommend without hesitation... even for carnivores.

Go to veg/vegan restaurant in waterloo. Service is great and usually pretty quick ( sometimes better to order ahead). Food is amazing, doesnt leave you feeling yucky. Matcha latte is superb.

Tasty food at a good price - clean inside and out, friendly and helpful staff, and a diverse menu with options that should (hopefully) satisfy non-vegans and and vegans alike.

Fantastic food, neat ordering system. Great selection!

Customer service is so great, all of the employees are so very friendly and always have such positive attitudes. They re fast paced even during busy periods and even through stressful times their happiness is radiating. Highly recommend the chai almond latte iced.

Best vegan food in the city by far ( Aztec bowl to go)

Best of the best

Aztec bowls forever! The nicest staff & the absolute freshest Vegan food I have ever tasted in my whole entire life. Their shiitake Teriyaki is beyond good & they have great tasting smoothies too with so many ingredients and flavour.

Friendly staff and good food! Tried the Aztec power bowl, the copper deluxe burger with poutine and the cheezecake. We really enjoyed these items and will definitely be coming back to try more menu items.

Staff are very professional and welcoming, delicious menu, amazing ambience! I had the Keto bowl substituted the konjac noodles for a green collard wrap yummy!

Its a unique menu different from freshii. Perhaps more earthy with unique proteins . They have salads and veggie burgers and bagels and soups. Its a broad enough menu for everyone to try something they may like. The place is nice inside as well with casual dining atmosphere. The service was fast and friendly. The only two things I will dock 0.5 a star for is that 1. the prices are a touch on the high side, though I appreciate the quality and fresh nature of the Ingredients. There is nothing frozen on the manu here I would imagine. Its worth the little bit extra. 2. The keto salad tasted very dry and earthy and there were several different ingredients and salads within it. Almost to the point that there were too any different flavors within one salad, and not all of them worked together. The dressing was not the best tasting. Overall i would definitely eat here again and try something different on the menu next time like the Poke Bowl with Salmon alternative as the protein.

Excellent food and good portion size for vegans and vegetarians.

Lunch is very good, and small option is a perfect single serving size. I ordered online pickup, was ready. Id definitely try something else again.

Absolutely delicious!! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff :)

Hands down the BEST vegan chickn wings Ive ever tasted. Highly recommend. Black bean burger was great too.

Fantastic vegan food

The Mrs. said the best food Ive eaten in a restaurant for a long time. Now that we have been eating a plant based diet for over a year its great to discover a place like this.

Good tasting burger, it was just so soft that the patty became mush while I was eating and slipped out. The fries were also soggy.

Power bowl was great!

Great food!

Delicious healthy food in good portions, a bit pricier but not more than youd expect from healthy/specialized diet focused (vegan) restaurant. Nicely plated if you eat in. Properly reviewed vaccination certificate against photo ID.

Reasonable price for quality food. Clearly using fresh vegan ingredients. I got the Tempeh Bacon & Just Egg Bagel - taste satisfaction was quite okay.

I wasnt given sufficient notice

Nice vegetarian cafe...

Amazing food especially for a person like me who do not eat onion and garlic. The 1st star for location, 2nd ambiance, 3rd service, 4th pricing, 5th quality and taste

The flat bread is a huge favorite, thanks!

Good restaurant

Ordered on Uber Eats, so I am unable to comment on the dine-in experience. I ordered a black bean burger and it was incredibly delicious. It was the first vegan burger Ive had and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the topping proportions; everything stayed in its place! I will caveat for first-timers that I would not look at it as a beef burger replacement, but rather as its own meal. I will be back!

Copper branch is my favourite restaurant in town for quick and super healthy meals! I make bowls all the time and they are not nearly as good as Copper Branchs! The food is amazing, the restaurant is cute and the staff are always quick. There are countless great options for vegans and their burgers, bowls and smoothies will never disappoint! P.S. I am not a vegan and this is still my favourite place to stop in once a week!

the food was good! but definitely pricier than a lot of other plant-based places, so not my first choice.

Thank you to the staff at Copper Branch for a wonderful dinner experience that my husband and I had last week for our date night. The food and staff were kind and professional.

CB was sooo amazing. Recommended by a friend she took me there and we mucked a couple of power bowls and shared a poutine. All V and GF. I will definitely be back and will be bringing the crew to dine. Thanks for the cruelty free options and great service!

Very good service, open for dining in during COVID 19, the sandwiches we tried were very good. Shiitake sandwich (5/5) was really good, same as Greek unity wrap (5/5). We didn t like flatbread (2/5) much, the vegan cheese is properly the worst I had (I eat a lot of vegan food), the bread base wasn t good either (I make my own fresh sourdough flatbread at home) tasted a bit stale and texture was off too. Hope they can improve that dish.

Ive been here twice and have been blown away both times. Seriously delicious food, and its all vegan. Im not vegan/vegetarian but am trying to consume less meat and this place helps a lot. Definitely go check it out!

Liked it. Didnt love it. Cauliflower crust was dryyyyy. Like crazy chewy dry, and Ive eaten my fair share of cauliflower crusts. Burger was good but didnt wow me. Wouldnt order it again. Service also took a very long time. Ordered online and granted they were busy, but I watched them make every other order than mine (online and people who just walked in and ordered) even 20 minutes after my pick up time was scheduled. Probably wont return any time soon because of that. Smoothies were top notch though for 9 bucks a piece they should be.

The food is so good! We bad one of the bowls and the bbq flat bread and they were both so satisfying. I dont think that people would know that, that is not meat. It can be a bit pricey but it is a treat for sure! My daughter loved it as well and is excited to try other things from their menu.

The best channa masala this side of the 85!! :) Highly recommended :)

Staff and food was incredible. I loved it there. The portobello mushroom burger is the best burger Ive ever had.

Great menu. Pleasant staff.

Excellent food, friendly staff. Worth every penny.

Online ordering is fast and accurate. Thanks.

Amazing experience, tasty and healthy food. Loved it.

The Copper Branch is perhaps the number one restaurant I would recommend for a plant based meal. Their food never fails to impress, and the service is always excellent. Aside from their main options, the selection of drinks and desserts alone is enough to warrant a visit.

my absolute favourite restaurant!! very clean and very polite staff. can get a little busy on weekends (online order recommended if you re in a hurry) but the food is always worth the wait!!

Good for and nice outdoor dining!

The young man at the counter went above and beyond to be helpful and the food was delicious. And excellent value. Cant wait to try the keto bowl.

Beautiful location! Staff here is so kind and the food is delicious. Portions are great!

Excellent food. Never had this style of bowls before, completions changed my style of eating. Great service, very helpful and super great service. Will go there again for sure! I had the asian fusion power bowl.

A great plant based option

The food was excellent. Went with 2 friends and we all enjoyed a different style of bowl and we all really enjoyed them. Really enjoyed the shitake mushrooms as my protein. Visited the Waterloo location . Also, the chai latte was fantastic and the staff who helped us was very friendly and helpful.

My husband and I live in Hamilton but will make the drive out to Waterloo just to have Copper Branch! The food is fantastic! We always get an order of the wings with garlic aioli, I cant even describe how tasty they are!! Always very clean and kind customer service :) today we tried the tacos on feature and they blew our minds! Worth the 45 min drive every time

Great staff great food
