I know that confusion happens when someone else with the same name is dining as well, as the cashier mentioned to me when I was ordering... so I wasn't surprised when they gave me the wrong meal. However, since the cashier already noted that there were two "Brian's" dining, she should have made sure that we both got what we ordered, when we ordered it.

So basically, a guy ordered a grain bowl,... more

Amazing groceries, amazing food, amazing setting and amazing staff, what's there not to love about this place? The produce isn't the cheapest on the drive but they try to source locally and it's always super fresh. While I'm not a massive raw fan, I like it occasionally and their portions are the biggest I've seen of any raw restaurant where dishes are usually overpriced and undersized. At EA... more

I've only bought seeds and some great green juice so far but, I already adore this half organic market half restaurant hidden hole along commercial drive and can not wait to return to try food.

100% Organic, Vegan, Raw dishes and cooked dishes and the a Gluten-free menu (they do have some gluten in some baked good that available). This place is a Gem and Alex is too! A great place to relax, enjoy some healthy treats and perhaps make some new friends while waiting. Very casual and friendly atmosphere and also offers organic produce to purchase, baby plants and other grocery items such... more

Love it here, there raw vegan desserts are to die for and there food in general is really good!!

The Zughetti was good. We also had the nori roll and that was interesting. Came here a few weeks back when I was in the middle of doing a cleanse so the type of foods I can eat is very limited. I'm open to trying raw food that's vegan. We ordered a juice and a smoothie and those were well done. The service is a little slow though but understandable, it's made fresh. I say this place is ok, I... more

Nutrient-dense, organic, gluten free, low glycemic, vegan food. I always feel light and satisfied after eating at Eternal Abundance. Plus their small grocery store and organic herb sale during the summer has a surprising amount of variety.

Great chilli! Loved the flavours in it and while it was filling, it did not feel heavy at all.
I also enjoyed the Chai latte, however I wish there was more of a punch to it like Chai usually has.

The green soup was not a success. The flavours were somewhat bland and a bit too earthy.

Happy to have had an organic meal though!
The place itself was a bit too hippie and not as cozy as I was... more

The food is great, atmosphere amazing and it's a great place to socialize with mostly health conscious individuals. It would be nice to have more spice/flavour with some the dishes however overall you can come in here, eat and feel great afterwards. Clean eating on The Drive.

The staff is super friendly & accommodating. They also offer wifi access and they don't mind if you send hours in there... more

Terrible service. I was completely ignored by staff until I stood at the register for minutes. Shouldn't be left feeling guilty for wanting tea, which was $3 for a tiny pot. Disappointed, I really wanted to like this place. Maybe next time, if there is one.

When you have a hangover and have been very bad to your body, eating a meal at this place will cure all of your problems. Even just a smoothie. But get other things as well.

Portion sizes are moderate but pure and healthy food made with love. Walking by you would never know the food was so delicious! It's a popular hippy hangout and there are weird books and board games to play. Not a lot of... more

I really enjoy this place when I'm looking to eat something lighter and healthy out.

The food may not be the most delicious but it certainly isn't unhealthy.

It has an organic grocery store to one side and a small raw and cooked vegetarian food restocafe in the back.

Vegan. Organic. Raw. I know this will either send people stampeding towards or away from it. But let me say this: I have treated the menu as if it were Noah's Arc, that is to say, I've ordered everything on the menu twice. It's awesome.

This is a cafe which caters to vegan/raw food diets, so you know that one friend you have is who is on a cleanse/gluten free/dairy free diet? I have somewhere... more

amazingly alive

Eternal sunshine lit up the hippie comfort atmosphere. sister and i enjoyed fruity green juice and beet burgers. i had mine on onion flat bread and she chose a collard green for bun. she is a regular and feels amazing after green drink....better than coffee jolt for her. i was happy to buy hawaiin volcanic salt and fermented almond butter.... more

I would feel totally comfortable bringing my carnivorous friends to eat here! The raw falafel on zucchini flax tortilla was not quite what I was expecting but it was still overall a fantastic meal for gluten-free vegan! Will be back! Hopefully soon!

Service sucked

Do not go here if you expect any service after your money leaves your hands, Waiter had the entitelement attitude that can turn anyones stomach off the pretty good food.
Not recommended and not going back.

I say this place is must-eat for any foodie, whether you're into raw, vegan, vegetarian, or are an adventurous omnivore. It has it all- cozy, ecclectic atmosphere, gracious staff, GREAT FOOD and convenience: An organic, vegan cafe, and grocery store rolled into one! I had the house salad with tera dressing but substituted kale for the lettuce, and it was amazing! I finished with the mushroom... more

I definitely like the idea of this place. Great option for vegans and lots of fresh ingredients. The only problem is that the food itself was mediocre. I had the sampler and purchased some of the truffles for dessert - total price $26. The garden salad was very basic. The sides, including mexi pâté and mushroom burger had a strange after taste. The only thing I would order again would be the... more

Zuhgetti (zucchini pasta) was amazing and I am so grateful to my friend for having brought me to this wonderful place. Food was extremely good and all ingredients were listed for those really needing to scrutinize their ingredients.
Service was not something you would mark as one of their assets. But I'm all about the food; as long as service is okay, I'm okay.
The food more than made up for... more

my favorite place in vancouver though it's feeling like much too long since i've been! i was lucky to get takeout from here recently thanks to my sister which has reminded me i need to make the journey up the drive soon again! i ADORE the kale caesar salad and could probably eat it every day. and i just recently tried some of the warm dishes - brown rice and/or quinoa with veg and a tangy... more

Much love to Eternal Abundance and all the awesome organic foods!
I've eaten here many many times and always love it! But I just tried the "zughetti" and it blew me away!

I'm really fond of this place. After my first visit, I would always count down the days until I could visit again. Since I live in Langley, I had to pace myself to a visit once every 2 weeks.
The layout is great, with a lovely organic selection of fruits and vegetables across from the kitchen/counter and adjacent to a cosy seating area. They have the best bananas and tangelos here. I also... more

Don't over think it: get the sampling platter. Also share a lemony-gingery drink with a date. This location is perfect for a certain type of date. You're not impressing anyone with the ambiance. It's about the ethic behind the delicious food. After the meal, my date and I both realized that we didn't know which thing was which on the plate, but we agreed that everything was phenomenal. This is... more

Service is great and the staff are friendly and helpful. They don't have a large selection, but what they have is shoppable and enough. Their food is great and freshly prepared.

Try the Chocolate Chi smoothie! It is amazing!

To the hippies behind Eternal Abundance: I love you. Really, I do.

I've called Commercial Drive my home for a while now, but for the longest time I didn't have the nerve to enter Eternal Abundance. I still can't quite figure out what my problem was. Do I support purveyors of locally-grown, organic produce? Why, yes I do. Am I cool with hippies? Of course -they make the BEST neighbours. Do I... more

I really like this place!! I've only had two meals here, and they've both been rawsome. Hehhe. I am willing to give this place a 5 star review in the future, but I need to check out their menu a little more first. Based on my entire experience, I give this little gem a 4 star (I rarely give out 5s)... for now.

FOOD
Mexican Wrap

I ordered this baby to go, and boy! Was I shocked when I opened... more

I went here with my daughter and we ordered a sampler plate to share(12$); thank goodness we didn't order more. It was awful! The photo in the (dirty, food stained) menu showed a picture of a wonderful mushroom burger, and that was on the sampler plate. We got a square about 1 inch X 1 inch of cold salty something; that was the mushroom burger! the sunflower pate was unrecognizable as were the... more

Warning: $9 cabbage!

I stupidly didn't look at the price when I bought a red cabbage from here. Later that day I found that I had in fact paid $9 for it!

The food at the café is amazing and most of the other stuff didn't seem ridiculously priced but I would advise anyone who isn't a millionaire to check before they buy... more

Food is decent, but service is terrible - I am not going back

I have eaten there a few times. The food is tasty and feels nourishing but portions are on the small side (like in most raw food restaurants), so be prepared to order 1.5-2 dishes per person if you want to be somewhat satiated.
The customer service is very lacking in this place, even though I think the food is quite... more

Consistently HORRIBLE Service

I've just left Eternal Abundance after my fifth attempt at this place - this time without even ordering. I have wanted to like it, I love raw food and the concept and practically live next door. This time the disengaged, aloof and downright ride staff have driven me away for good.

The raw treats are wonderful and I love the fresh produce they have for sale on site!

Amazing Mainly Raw, Vegan & Organic place in Vancouver.
I go there every day to get my juice or smoothie.

I love this place and don't go there enough! The food is fairly priced for what you get and extremely tasty! I have often popped in for lunch, and have always been very happy with what I ordered. My only comments of concern, which is not really a big deal is: don't go here if you are in a rush. They are a bit on the slow side, but hey we all need to take time to practice some mindful eating, so... more

Eternal Abundance updated and rearranged their space with a larger, new display of desserts and some to go items. The layout is much more open... the seating, produce market and food/smoothie bar/cash register is much better defined making the whole experience that much better.

Lots of food options, organic produce and bulk items for purchase. Everything looked fresh and amazing. The hardest... more

great food, delightful staff... cool ambience... wait time for food are long! so if you want to get something to go (it took me 20 min to get a juice to go, and another time they forgot to bring us part of our order), i'd recommend going somewhere else... but if you have time to dine in... this is a fab place to try... more

This place. Is delightful.

I love all the things. Organic. Raw. Or cooked if you fancy. Juices. Desserts. Come on! Stock up on organic produce, nuts, oils, goji berries, salt, shoyu and so on. Like I said, it's delightful.

Take in. Take out. The service isn't as quick as some of us have come to demand in life.... but take a breath. Your food is being made with wholesome ingredients and love... more

Great vegan restaurant/juice bar/grocer on the Drive.

I am a huge fan of their juices, especially when I'm sick ( get the Green Power!)

They have a great food menu of mostly raw but also some cooked foods. My favourite thing is their Grain Bowl. For $13 you get a mess of fresh steamed veg, quinoa or brown rice, and then this amazingtodiefor mushroom sauce on top. I find the serving size to be... more

I have walked by this place on numerous occasions during the year, however, for one reason or another walked by it. This afternoon I was on a new discovery mission and decided to pick the first grocery store/restaurant that I saw on this block. I had to stay on this block in order to eat lunch forcing me to try a new place.

The place is mostly organic and they have a little café that serves... more

I went here for a vegan meetup with Veg Meetup Vancouver. They did a cooked vegan dinner for us and it was pretty good. About half the food was amazing. The other items well there was a raw dressing that was way too mustardy and spicy, and the pumpkin pie was actually fresh pumpkin cooked, but there were giant raw chunks in it still and the gluten free garlic toast was hard as a rock. More like... more

usually I order the zughetti with tomato sauce, which is pretty good. i find the quality and portion size vary wildly depending on who prepares it, but often it is filling and tasty. on my last visit, the fellow behind the counter talked me into the kale Caesar. i took it to go and was very disappointed. huge, rough kale leaves, tough to bite through, too big to eat in one bite, big clumps of... more

How did I not know about this place? It's like a few steps from some of my fave regular stop-ins on the drive. Does it magically disappear and then reappear at certain eclipses or something? I never noticed it before.

And get this: (you're going to want to sit down for this one.. well, if you're a vegan with a weirdy stomach like me anyway) they have gluten-free, diary-free cheesecake that... more

I'm really on the fence between giving this place three or four stars. For now it's four,and I'll give some reasons why.

First, I really appreciate the people who run this place. They're really down to earth and making an effort to sell good healthy food. I buy my produce here whenever I can.

House Salad: I LOVE the salad here sooooo much. The Miso ginger dressing is amazing. They sell it in... more

I had a major craving for raw food, so I dragged my mother down here. It's a bit confusing layout and even though there are menus on the table, we had to walk up to the bar to order our food. I had the spicy mexican wrap with a kale caesar salad, my mother had a soup and salad combo, and we each had a small juice, then I had the raw uncheesecake (acai flavor).

Everything was really delicious,... more

I can't believe I wasted $10 on a small bowl of carrots & zuchinni with a tiny bit of sauce which was randomly named "pad thai." Someone got something else that looked decent, but I am definitely not going back to give away more of my money.

The raw food restaurant/bar is fantastic and great value.

The produce is also fresh and very reasonably priced. My favorite place to shop for fruits and veggies when I'm in Vancouver!

Great vegan food. Best borscht and cabbage rolls I've ever had. I always feel great eating here, as I know everything is handmade, organic, and simple - yet extremely delicious.

The cafe, which is actually called The Truffle, is tucked back behind all the organic produce of Eternal Abundance. There is a small bar seating area, one large table, and two 2-seater tables up front. I think a cozier... more

Some of the best raw food I have ever had. Loved the food .Creative and delicious. Its like a bar setting in a grocery store.
Anyone interested in raw food must visit.

The service wasn't the best or I would give it 5 stars.
- The girls that work there do not speak English or French.
- And each time you order something you have to walk up to the cashier and pay there and come back and eat it at... more
