Cool Vegetarian Spot, Great Food

by jmosbff

I've been to the Quiet Storm a handful of times, and was really happy with my visit today. They were serving Sunday brunch. My boyfriend and I both ordered the pear-pecan stuffed french toast. The food was DELICIOUS and came with a side of the BEST fruit bowl you'll find in the city. All the brunches were $10 with bottomless coffee tea or pop. The coffee was great! Service is just so-so, but the food makes up for it. They have a good drink menu too with coffee drinks, vegan milkshakes, and other frozen drinks. Also a small bakery area that usually has an assortment of vegan and non-vegan cookies, cupcakes, brownies and other baked goods. I would give them 5 stars but the service is not great, as I said.

• Pros: great vegetarian and vegan food, specialty coffee drinks, desserts
• Cons: unattentive servers

Avoid the Storm

by orangewestfall

Visiting from out of town, I was looking forward to vegan eating at the Quiet Storm and took two non-vegetarians to lunch with me. I was very disappointed in the food. The salsa was really strange, unlike any I've ever had, and not in a good way. The hummus tasted as though the cook had never made hummus before--pretty much like mashed chick peas. It was acceptable, but nothing more. My seitan sandwich was uninspired and so salty that I could eat only a small portion of it. Certainly not a good advertisement for vegetarianism. I ate at the East End Food Co-op the next day, and wished I had never found The Quiet Storm.

Fine food, a**holes serving it.

by ks9

The food is good but too bad the staff are complete a**holes. Rude, mean, not kid friendly (as the toys and kid's books would lead you to believe). Obviously these people don't know how to keep customers. They won't be around much longer.

• Pros: ...
• Cons: Complete a**holes.
