Cafe Pyrus is a vegetarian/vegan coffee shop and live music destination found just across the street from Charles Street Terminal. Their menu boasts ingredients sourced locally and organically with a number of gluten-free options. If it’s your first time at Cafe Pyrus, give the Angry Vegan a try as it’s been known to satisfy both the carnivores and vegans. They also have waffles, freshly baked goods, and your favourite caffeinated drinks so you can comfortably sit back and enjoy their relaxed ambiance all day. Cafe Pyrus is loved by locals and was awarded the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor in 2017. They use animal figurines as a table marker, sell art made by local artists, and have hosted the At the Root folk music festival. If not for the vegetarian menu, Cafe Pyrus is also a great place to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy live performances.
