The 10 Best Vegan Spots in Hamilton for 2019
"Democracy* is unquestionably one of Locke Street’s favourite coffee shops. Endeavouring to be equal parts cafe, vegan eatery, and community space, Democracy* thrives on being an open, welcoming environment that also happens to serve killer vegan bites. Tofu Banh Mi and Big Mac pizzas are eye-catching offerings, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg in a stacked plant-based menu filled with share plates and sizeable entrees."
