Kupfert and Kim opens above ground at Spadina and Richmond

The PATH’s popular vegan and gluten-free quick-service spot has opened a sit-down location on Spadina with a bigger—but still sustainable, local and organic where possible—plant-based menu. There are Kupfert and Kim classics like the Oaxaca and K&K Paleo boxes, and new “smoothie bowls” (think non-blended breakfast ingredients like granola, avocado, blueberries and almond butter), miyeokguk (a Korean seaweed-based soup), draught kombucha and swag (hats, t-shirts). Seasonal-collaboration bowls created by some of the city’s top chefs like Omaw’s Matt Blondin will kick off in the new year, and partial proceeds will be donated to charity. Here, a look at some of Kupfert and Kim’s new menu items that will convince devout carnivores that meatless and wheatless doesn’t have to mean tasteless.

There’s still grab-and-go service, as well as 36 seats.

Diners can refer to the chalkboard to learn the origin of their lunch ingredients.
