The most cosy restaurant in town - Edit
What an awesome restaurant from the inside. A lot of plants (not all of them to eat), bright colors and super friendly staff. We had crab cakes with a coconut cream and it was awesome, nice texture and great flavors. Also we had the Bagel with cream cheese and it was delicious. As a dessert we chose the Raspberry Cheese Cake and it was also great in taste. Maybe a little bit to much citrus in it.
Read moreThe best is that almost the half of the menu is Gluten Free.
Pros: All Vegan , A lot is Gluten Free , Cosy restaurant

My go-to Vegan Heaven - Edit
This is without question, my favorite vegan restaurant that I've ever been to by-far. From the moment you walk in the door, your eyes are drawn to all of the beautiful decor & plants. A wonderful layout with enough room for a party, a humble outdoor patio and even a slightly more private, elevated table that overlooks the restaurant.
Read moreThe service is usually really sweet and humble as well, making sure you have what you need, but also giving you so much breathing room to just take everything in & digest it all. (Pun intended)
The food is absolutely delicious. Always cooked to perfection. The drink menu is extensive and there is something for everyone on it. Their dessert menu is simply scrumptious, and they also have a lovely little selection of house made items packaged and ready to go for you to enjoy at home.
The owners and those who work there put all of their love into providing delicious and nourishing food & drinks, and it really shows.
The music there isn't obnoxious like some places, it's usually indie-esque.
And finally, their restrooms are always clean and stocked.
All of these reasons are why I continue to choose The Moth and I'm sure I could think of a million more little details, but by now I hope you'll consider this humble cafe without hesitation!

Gin and Spaghetti - Edit
I've found this to be an okay place to go. Their spaghetti is really good and the gin is lovely. The rest is ok, but I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here. I have never had a terrible experience here, and they are one of the few that offer raw options. Every time we have had a dessert here, it's been stale, so we stay away from them.
Read moreThe space itself is nice and open and sunny. It's a pleasant space to hang out in. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, though.
Pros: Pleasant environment, Vegan alcoholic choices

More help needed - Edit
Have eaten at the Moth a number of times since they opened. It is great to have plant based food. However, whenever we have been at the restaurant, the service has been poor. This last occasion was particularly bad. There appeared to be two people working and the restaurant was packed. We did not get our food at the same time and spent what seemed like hours waiting for it to come.
Read morePros: Good food with varied menu, Pleasant atmosphere
Cons: Need to get organized about the required staff, Need to have one desert that is nut free

Incredible dining experience - Edit
Absolutely blown away by this incredible place. Not only a beautiful space to be in, put together with such care and funk - the food was out of this world. Plant based at its finest with incredible attention to flavour and quality. It was so so hard to chose but basically you can’t go wrong. So yum!!! The gin tonics are divine in themselves, then when the food comes it’s just 😍😍😍😍!!! Go go go and you will be changed by the greatness!!

Service can make it or break it. - Edit
The interior is cute and the menu is large, my food was too greasy for my liking - not to say other dishes may have been better? I’ve only been once, The service is what got me down, my waitress was neglectful and wasn’t helpful with my questions. She brought my food and I never saw her again till I went to the till to pay, even tho there were only two other tables at the time.

Simply amazing spaghetti - Edit
Very nice restaurant with cool decorations. The ambience is very good and the service was on point. We had a "chicken" pot pie as an appetizer and it was good. Maybe with a homemade sauce it would of been better than good. For our main meal, we had a raw bagel and a home made spaghetti. Both were very good, but the spaghetti was something next level. Amazing portion, very good tofu meatballs and amazing hot sauce that came with it. It also had avocado toast and they accompanied the spaghetti very well. For dessert we had a berry cheesecake and a carrot cake. Both priced at 10$, we were a bit hesitant but THEY ARE WORTH IT ! Simply amazing, every bite was a little trip to heaven. Extremely tasteful and nothing compares. We even asked for the cheesecake recipe but our server said that it was a founder secret. Would go back again anytime to try out different stuff on the menu. 10/10
Read morePros: Next level cheesecake., Amazing spaghetti
Cons: No sauce with the "Chicken" pot pie

Best spaghetti in town! - Edit
The Moth is a wonderful establishment and I can't believe I hadn't been before. The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious. I had the moth spaghetti, and pumpkin pie to go-- which was an amazing treat later!

There is some parking at the restaurant, but if it's run short there is city parking along the street near it that I found pretty empty when I went by.

Very yummy - Edit
I had the purple taro risotto with salted caramelized shiitake and the hibiscus ginger kombucha, my first time ever trying kombucha, and OH MY both were so amazing! I went with a friend who required gluten free menu options and she actually recommended this place for its celiac-friendly menu, but it’s all plant-based food (including a few raw options if I remember). Service was exceptional, we were chatting so much we felt bad turning the server away so often but she checked in regularly to get our orders in and she was very kind. Awesome place!
Read morePros: Plant based, Outdoor patio seating available, Gluten free options too
