Chef Veganessa is so yummy! The food was delicious & super tasty. I went with my 12 year old celiac daughter. She got the pizza & I got the gyro. They were both delicious. I loved the taste of the tzatziki on the gyro, & loved the cheese of the pizza. One of the owner's (the husband of Vanessa) was serving us & he was so sweet & friendly. As for price, it was reasonable. Actually, thinking about it, gluten free food is often at least twice as expensive as other food, & this was by no means twice as expensive. It was as priced as much as any other restaurant would be priced. & don't get me started on the dessert. I have no idea what crazy magic they are using in order to make a vegan gluten free dessert, but they were amazing. We actually picked 3 desserts between the two of us because we couldn't pick. We had the brownie, a cake pop & a smores cookie. They were all delicious. & I am not talking delicious'for' a vegan dessert, I am talking delicious like just as delicious, if not more delicious than what you would get at Rockaberrys (& better priced!). Honestly, I recently tasted a regular gourmet cookie for 5$. It was no better at all than this similarly priced dessert at Veganessa. & it is celiac safe!!! Usually celiac safe stuff is twice the price if not more. I am not vegan or celiac, & was kind of like, oh well I don't want a vegan dessert, but it was honestly amazing. & I took some home to my meat loving husband & kids, who were surprised at how good it was. & the portion sizes are generous for the meals & the desserts. My only'negative' is that it isn't really''kid food'' friendly, in the sense that the food is all'fancy' to a kid. I thought it was awesome, but my kid wanted the''usual'' kid menu item food & thought the pizza was too fancy (So i ate the leftovers happily). But she said the crust was really good compared to other gluten free pizzas. Small little suggestion is to have a small'kid friendly' item on the menu. But for adults, whether you are celiac or vegan or not, this place is amazing. Very happy to have found my new dessert place for my celiac daughter to eat safely!
This place is a 5* gem! One of a kind. I have been ordering from them long before their beautiful Kirkland location. They clearly love what they do! It shows in every bite & with every smile they share with their clients! Thank you for making gluten free a delicacy! 🤌🏼❤?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 - Always a Fantastic Experience at Veganessa
I visit Veganessa often, & every time I'm reminded why it's one of my favourite spots. The staff is absolutely splendid-warm, welcoming, & attentive without ever feeling rushed. The food is consistently extra fresh, full of flavour, & clearly prepared with care. Portions are generous, & the prices are more than fair for the quality you get.
Whether you're vegan, gluten free or just looking for great, fresh food, Veganessa never disappoints. Highly recommend!
Wow! I've been to Veganessa multiple times, & every single visit leaves me obsessed. I'm not even vegan or gluten free, yet I absolutely love it here.
I had a brownie today that was absolutely to die for. The salads are always fresh & make it so easy to grab something delicious on the go. I also love that the menu is always changing, every dish I've tried has been a 10/10. I would share a photo of my food but I've already eaten it all! :)
Gluten free heaven! Veganessa has kept me fed & healthy while pregnant & breastfeeding (& way before!). We pick up food from them regularly & religiously, from the weekly meal prep menu, in store prepped meals & fresh takeout. I am not vegan but the gluten-free/vegan combo perfectly accommodates my dietary restrictions & the food is so flavorful!! From being sick during my pregnancy to exhausted with a newborn, I'm so grateful for my Veganessa meals to make life so much easier!
Les plats sont délicieux!! Le gyros est à essayer absolument. Les employés sont toujours très courtois. Je recommande absolument à tous ceux qui doivent manger sans gluten ❤️
We recently had two events catered by Veganessa & the food was enjoyed by everyone (even those who eat meat & gluten)! The portion sizes of the catering menu were very generous & the presentation of all the food was beautiful! I would highly recommend the Italian "Beetballs", Eggplant Rollatini & the carrot cake. The carrot cake decoration is particularly beautiful. I would definitely recommend having your next event catered from Veganessa even if you are not gluten intolerant or vegan. The food is so delicious.
