Kokomo has been Port Moody’s go-to spot for inventive plant-based comfort food since opening in 2018. Known for hearty portions, bold flavours, and a menu that surprises even long-time vegans, this neighbourhood kitchen has turned casual brunches and weeknight dinners into regular rituals for locals.

On the menu you’ll find a mix of familiar favourites and creative specials. Start with their crispy buffalo cauliflower wings or the kimchi fries, then try the BBQ jackfruit sandwich or the coconut curry bowl, each portion generous enough to share. Weekend brunch features their famous “Tofu Benny” with house-made hollandaise, and rotating desserts include a raw chocolate tart and seasonal fruit crumble. Kokomo’s bar stocks local BC craft beers and a small but carefully chosen wine list to pair with food, plus espresso-based drinks from locally roasted beans.

What sets Kokomo apart is how they make food, not just what they serve. Everything is made in-house in their 1,200-square-foot kitchen, using certified-organic tofu and locally sourced seasonal produce when available. The team includes a chef with 12 years’ experience in plant-based cooking and front-of-house staff who know regulars by name and dietary needs by heart. Meals are prepared to order, with allergy-friendly options clearly marked and staff trained to handle cross-contact concerns.

People choose Kokomo because it feels like eating at a thoughtful friend’s table. The dining room is bright and unpretentious, with community art on the walls and a warm, conversational atmosphere. They host monthly pop-up nights featuring local suppliers and support nearby food banks through donation drives. If you want bold, honest vegan food in Port Moody that respects flavour, seasonality and community, Kokomo delivers.
