This is a review of the new Kokomo in Edgemont Village in North Vancouver. In a new building, and a new part of town for them, but this is every bit as good as their other branches, in Kitsilano and in Chinatown. It is, quite...simply, a Vegan restaurant for a quick bite or snack; they offer smoothies, bounteous salads, snacks, and what they refer to as bowls, which include tempeh with all kinds of veggies, or a tofu scramble, or beets with wasabi peas, plus noodles, a curry, and a squash-carrot soup. And their Acai Bowls look wonderful, though I haven't tried one yet. The place is clean and friendly, with plenty of staff; it has busy times of day, but early afternoon seems like a good time to swing by for a meal. The seating is at one communal table, but so far there has always been plenty of room if you want to eat alone, or simply sit and chat with one other person. My favorite meal is the Harvest Quinoa salad -- which is full of greens, brussel sprouts, dried cranberries, beet crisps, and more; plenty of things you can add to the salad too; it is a very large lunch, and the staff happily provide "to go" containers. They are open early, with snacks and all kinds of hot drinks. A brilliant new star in the growing constellation of Edgemont Eateries.
