I ordered ahead as I was in a bit of a rush and thankfully they were very quick at preparing my food! They also didn't compromise on the quality in doing so! I managed to find a spot on the adjacent side street and was greeted as soon as I entered. The ambiance of the restaurant was bright and colorful with plenty of cozy seating both inside and outside. They also had a pastry case filled with some drool worthy cakes. The friendly employee quickly found my order. The menu was vast but I ordered an indulgent chocolate crepe, as I was craving something sweet and light. The crepe had a lovely pillowy texture and was so heavenly, both the chocolate sauce and chocolate mousse were so rich and decadent and had me wanting more! I loved the freshness, sweetness and juiciness of the berries! The coconut whipped cream really took it over the top and added a nice airiness. Their crepes are must haves and I'm dying to try more of them! I will definitely be back soon to this location or one of their other conveniently located ones!

Their desserts look divine! Can't wait to return to try. Cute corner cafe on a busy corner. Parking can be tricky. You can order ahead to go or dine in. I usually like to park on a nearby side street then still over. Again, it's a busy road so use caution while crossing.

She was rude, short and clearly had no serving skills. On top of this the food was meh. Nothing stood out. The corn ribs were the only thing we liked but it's also a simple item that anyone can make at home. We tried the churro dessert- the churros were rock hard... $14 for rocks was criminal. The ice cream was good but I'm assuming they don't make that in house. Overall disappointed. Not worth the drive and the 10 minute time to find parking. The vibe of the place itself felt pretty gloomy too. I unfortunately don't think this place will be open much longer if the quality of food/service doesn't improve.

Plates, utensils or anything else you need, go get it yourself. BUT none of that really bothered us. It's a hole in the wall place, we weren't walking in expecting white tablecloths. The other odd thing was that place opens at 1pm (who opens at 1? most people are done with lunch by then and its too early for dinner). Anyways we got there right at open so we were the first ones in an empty restaurant. It still took an HOUR to get our food. One hour for the first and only order in the building. A few others came in a couple minutes behind us and they were still sitting there past the hour and half mark. There's slow and then there's this where slow loses its definition. Food was good but when you've been starving for a long time anything would taste good so take that for what its worth. Prices aren't cheap either, 14-16$ a dish, which is proper sit down restaurant money not a person running the truck type business place. I don't really blame the guy. He's the cook and the server and the cleanup all at once and you can tell he's putting effort into the food. But one person can't run a restaurant on his own and I'm not going back to wait another time to prove it.

We also got their "small shareable" chicken wings - which were definitely BIG SHAREABLE! Ten delectably crispy fried chicken wings that are larger than life! Wings came with a side of gochujang style sauce, spicy mayo, and a savory thin sauce (reminded me of Hainan style sauce)! Not only is their food generous, but their boba slaps! We got their seasonal grape slush which was so refreshing for a hot day. My only critique is that all of the dishes were a bit salty. Service was super nice! There were 2 servers with man buns (sorry! I didn't get their names!). They were kind with ordering and brought out our food to our table. Spacious cafe with clean tables inside and outside.

We did have to pay $1 extra for one of the sauces but also tried the free sauce which I actually preferred. Also tried their lychee fruit drink and it was so refreshing. My only complaint would be that it was really cold in there so it was a little bit uncomfortable to eat especially when it was already chilly outside. Not that it needed to be warm in there but room temperature would've been nice. I think maybe it's because some of the veggies were out on the counter? Lastly, it got busy on an early Friday night and only one person was making all the bowls so there was a wait.

They don't take card - just cash, Zelle, or Venmo so be prepared! Overall the menu was a bit hit or miss. Crispy Zucchini Sticks - 5/5 Best thing we had on the menu! Had the perfect balance of a crispy outside and a soft juicy inside. Goes great with the dipping sauces. Lowkey some of the best zucchini sticks I've had. Southern Fried Chick'n Sammie - 4/5 Pretty good! Chewy and flavorful. Tasted like a chicken sandwich. The bacon was alright but overall a good sandwich. Bread was a little thick. Tater Tots and Salad - 3/5 Tater tots were cooked until crispy, but these are your standard tots and salad. Pastrami Sandwich - 1/5 Not a fan. I would skip this and get another sandwich next time. It was way too buttery and the pastrami did not taste like pastrami - texture and flavor were not similar. Their vegan pastrami also had a weird taste (maybe seitan?). Vietnamese Coffee - 1/5 Did not taste similar to the real thing. The mixture also did not dissolve well so I would skip this. Service was friendly, but the wait time for the food was quite long, even for drinks.

Fortunately, the quality of the food was considerably better than our previous experience with Veggie Grill. The meal was substantial and flavorful, though we were unable to identify the queso, which was one of the ingredients listed. Overall, aside from the initial confusion regarding the name, the food was enjoyable and satisfying. After circling the area, my spouse found it necessary to call to confirm the location, as there was no visible signage for Más Veggies Vegan Taqueria, making it somewhat difficult to locate. We recommend updating--clarifying its online presence, such as on Yelp--to better reflect the current branding.

Upon arriving the employee in the front was very helpful and I ended up ordering the pho dip, grilled pork sandwich, and the vermicelli salad, which took about 10-15 minutes. Overall, the food is great. The salad and pork sandwich were flavorful; we especially enjoyed the bread used for the sandwich. The reason for the 3 stars is that the dip for the pho dip was not included in our order. I did not notice this until I already got home. We were really looking forward to this sandwich and although the pho dip itself was good, it definitely was missing flavor without the dip and fell short. Additionally, we tried to call the restaurant but their number is also out of service. A bit disappointed for our first time, but we would still like to return to try other items.
