Café Mange is an absolute gem! I brought my mother here today for her Birthday. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is both funky and inviting with warm lighting, creative décor, and a vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff is absolutely amazing, friendly and informed. It feels like the kind of place where you can relax, laugh with friends, and truly enjoy good food without pretense. Their Black Bean Burger is nothing short of incredible it was perfectly seasoned, hearty, and full of flavor, with just the right balance of texture. It’s easily one of the best vegan burgers my mother ever had. And then there’s the Lucian Burger! Bursting with bold flavors and unique flair, it’s a one-of-a-kind creation that makes you want to come back just for that alone.

I love Pamela’s food! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious & nutrient rich…a flavour burst in every bite! Her desserts are spectacular, you’d never know there isn’t any sugar in them. I always feel uplifted when I come in the door. Excellent quality, excellent customer service!

Come to Cafe Caye if you want some tasty health food from anywhere in the world. Chef Pam serves up culinary treats from SE Asia, the Caribbean, England, and more. She keeps it on rotation, so you never know what goodies she'll cook up the next visit. We ordered a lentil patty ($5) and bowl of pad Thai ($15). Both tasted phenomenal. Ordered a cookie to go, and she gave us a free extra cookie + hot chocolate to go. The restaurant's atmosphere is serene. You can people watch from a stool at the front window, have a more relaxed meal on the couches, or a traditional sit down at the tables. She's also got some local cookbooks, jams and trinkets for sale. Chef Pam is a gem. Come for the food, stay for the stories, leave feeling lovely!

I'm so happy that I discovered this restaurant when Googling vegan options in Yarmouth! Upon entering, we were greeted so warmly by the owner/chef and her husband. The cafe is cute and inviting inside with beautiful wall art and shelves of plant-based products. Now for the food.... OMG, I can't even explain how amazing it is! For lunch, we had the Lucian Sizzle Burger and the Zesty Chick'n Burger. I don't know what magic Pamela wields in that kitchen, but this was the BEST vegan beef we've ever had. I swear it's better than regular ground beef! The chick'n sandwich was also yummy! The food was so good that we went back for dinner the same day. We stopped by about an hour before after walking down Main Street to say we'd be back for dinner, and even though the vegan oxtail wasn't available that day, Pamela said she would make it for us since we were coming back for a second meal, and because my outfit matched their wall. So we had the jerk chick'n and the vegan oxtail for dinner. Are you kidding me??? More alchemy! She built oxtail out of plant-based ingredients and it was not only visually impressive, but also delicious! The jerk chick'n was fabulous, too - amazing texture, good spice, and also incredible flavor. We were so full but got cookies to go for later - oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip (and they threw in a freebie). Of course they were also yummy! Cafe Caye Mange is truly a gem, and I hope that everyone will try it whether they are vegan, vegetarian, or meat eaters. You won't be disappointed!
