About Us

The word ‘boon’ means bean in Afrikaans (South African language). It also means a blessing, a benefit or something to be thankful for.

It was important for us to create a place that offered 100% cruelty free food, that tasted delicious and that was ultimately a better choice for our health as well as the environment. We use animal images throughout our business to ultimately raise awareness to their unnecessary suffering. Boon offers everything that a mainstream burger joint would offer, from a Bacun Cheeze burger, Poutine, Chili Cheeze dogs to Soft Serve. However, our food is all made from scratch, and we do not use any deep fryers or microwaves. All our waste is either recycled or composted (quite a bit different from those major chains)!

We also wanted to offer a workplace that is safe, comforting and inspiring. We believe our business is only as good as our staff – and at Boon, we are excellent! Our staff is the heart of Boon and they are masters at what they do.

Boon continues to sprout and we are so excited to spread the vegan goodness. Together, with the help of our existing partners as well as future partners, it is our hope to continue to offer food that eliminates needless animal suffering. We would like to set the bar for future establishments to realize that it IS possible to run a great business that reduces the footprint on the planet.
