Feast & Fallow is a fully vegan café in Vancouver serving local coffee, baked goods and pastries, and a weekly all-day brunch. It is a Christian social enterprise whose vision is to reconnect soil, people, food and community, and it holds that a just food system respects the whole circle of production from seed to plate. Around the café it runs workshops on urban agriculture, community gardens, food waste, composting, fermentation, nutrition and food security, takes volunteers, and hosts birthday brunches, poetry nights and private events in its space.
The coffee menu runs from drip, espresso, americano and cortado to flat white, latte, mocha and pour-over, with a seasonal espresso tonic, hojicha, matcha and chai lattes and a short tea list behind them. Oat milk is the default and carries no extra charge. The pastry case holds bagels, cinnamon buns, banana and gingerbread loaves, a rosemary pear scone, apple walnut muffins, croissants and pain au chocolat, rotating with the season. The menu has grilled cheese, kimchi avocado toast, mushroom toast, a breakfast sandwich, soup of the day and a creamy miso mapo udon; brunch adds a carrot lox benny, a tofu scramble and bacon avocado toast and a stack of pancakes.
