    Not really familiar with the area, but looks like location isn't convenient to get to. However, it is a warm, rustic place. It has an old warehouse feel but homey. I liked the place and decor as soon as we entered. Food was good and service was too! We enjoyed the place while savoring our meal. And discovered more rustic or antique looking trinkets and decors as we chill. It was a nice and relaxing morning!

    This place is a hidden gem and absolutely amazing! Everything was extremely fresh and delicious. The waitress was patient and kind, especially because we were a semi big group. The food came out in a timely manner and the prices are extremely reasonable. The place was clean and well kept. Will definitely try this place again!

    Truly what a sick cafe. Seems like this cafe was opened up in a previous warehouse which makes for a super cool ambiance. I came in on a Saturday morning with my brother and sister-in-law and we all unanimously agreed that this place was a hit. We had called beforehand to see if there would be a wait and the waiter who picked up the phone assured us a table would be waiting for us upon arrival, which surely it was! I ordered a dirty matcha iced latte which was made to perfection. Earthy matcha tones cut perfectly with a bold espresso with a tad of sweetness coming from the brown sugar. Food wise we got the Parma chicken sandwich, cheesesteak, and vegan chicken and waffles. Everyone was more than satisfied with their dish. And to top it all off, there was a DJ playing bops the entire time. Can't wait to come back and make my way through the menu.

    Aesthetic is cool and the servers are great but lack of heat is the nail in the coffin for this place. Also I ordered an omelet and because the grill wasn't hot enough I couldn't get it. Go figure. Great food but please please do something about the heat, I shouldn't need my jacket and hat inside. The place has potential but a few things need to be rectified.

    portions were large and the food was great! service was also pretty fast and our server was very accomodating

    This is what they gave me for $15 dry ass pancakes

    Pancakes are dry as hell. The service was bad took forever to give me my plain pancakes that I paid $15 and it was not good. The wait was not worth it. I recommend pancake house in Edgewater best place.

    Very trendy and cool decore. I would describe it as rustic-industrial-steampunky. There are concrete counters, bespoke wood tables, and a lounge corner with a bench and armchairs. The exposed kitchen adds a sense if comfort to the decore. The staff is very helpful and chill. They patiently explained the different menu options and dishes. I sampled the roasted chicken sandwich. The BBQ sauce was not the traditional southern sweet and tangy or smokey style, think more chicken curry spices. It was delectable and a hefty sandwich. The sweet potato fries were very well fried and crispy to perfection. The Sweet and Zesty salad did not disappoint either. I have no doubt their many vegan favorites are likewise expertly done and I am eagerly waiting for the next opportunity to sample from the vegan menu.

    Vegan Burger, Triple Blend Burger, Mac 'n Cheese

    3.5 stars. Very cute, cozy cafe. We came in the month of October, and the cafe was so well-decorated for Halloween. The food is just okay though. I love that they have a large selection of vegan food, and a lot of it looked very appealing. I got the Impossible Vegan Burger, which wasn't bad. The tart tomato sauce was pretty overpowering though, so scraping some of it off helped balance out the flavors. The impossible patty was juicy, and the sandwich overall was pretty filling. My friend got the Triple Burger and Mac 'N Cheese. She said the Mac 'n Cheese was plain and didn't have enough seasoning and that the macaroni was a bit overcooked and soggy. She said the Triple Burger was juicy but also could've used a bit of more seasoning. We also got some bakery items from the counter. The items looked better than they tasted, so we were a bit disappointed. - Vegan Maple Walnut Donut: Didn't taste fresh -- the donut bread tasted stale. It was very sweet though. - Vegan Bread Pudding: Flavorless. We got it with berry compote on the side, which helped a lot. Without it, it would've been very plain. There was also the option to have caramel or vanilla sauce on the side. The berry compote was not too sweet and pretty watery. I thought it was just the right amount of sweetness, but my friend thought it could've been sweeter, so maybe getting caramel or vanilla sauce on the side would've been better for her. - Pumpkin Muffin: Soft and not too sweet. The bread was on the lighter side. Tasted like it was missing something. They have many bakery goods, but nothing was outstanding. They weren't terrible, but they did leave us feeling there was more to desire. When coming here, I'd probably skip the bakery goods and just come for the decent food, ambiance, and support for a local vegan-friendly eatery.

    Vegan Vegan Chicken & Waffle

    A brunch spot with a vegan menu?? Count me in. I don't know why I never stopped by Blueprint when I lived in Newark but I'm glad I got to visit when I did! Food was great, interior is so cute, DJ had great music going, it was a great vibe! My friends and I all got different items from their vegan menu, and I think I really liked my friends' breakfast tacos and my chicken and waffle. I really liked the "chicken" in my meal. Overall, great spot for brunch!

    Pepper Bacon Sausage Omelette
    Donesha T.

    Stumbled upon this place while waiting around for an appt. Came on a Saturday. They offer takeout at the counter or dine in. Live DJ on Saturday when we arrived I ordered the Pepper Bacon Sausage Omelette which came with a slice of bread and ordered a separate side of potatoes. The omelette is huge. They do not skimp on the filling. A lot of sausage, peppers, onions and asked for light mozzarella. Well seasoned. Potato's are also seasoned and cooked well. Would've loved if there was a little more of a crisp to the potatoes. But still very good. A very extensive menu. Brunch and lunch options. The burgers looked really good. They also have vegan options. I'll definitely be back when in the area.

    Hollie R.

    Vegan-friendly! The menu had multiple vegan options available. Portions are massive. I had the tofu scramble which was just OK - wish it had more developed flavor. I could taste the spices, but something was missing. My partner had the sausage omelet and enjoyed it. The interior is very cute and well-decorated. There is seating outdoors as well. The parking lot is right before the building and can be easily missed.

We ordered at the counter and a high top table was prepared for us to sit in and eat. Service was friendly and kind for explaining the options and we even got a sample of a smoothie being prepared while we waited for lunch. They really know how to make veggies taste so rich and filling that you HAVE to come and try it if you're looking to explore a plant based diet or more vegan options and flavors! Street parking was sparse but lucky. Two filling vegan lunches and two cheesecake desserts with tax and tip the total was around $50.

    Wow. Super impressed with this spot. The lady who served me was very friendly, but more importantly…read morethe food was out of this world truly. I tried the lauryn hill bowl and the young Hendrix. To say the least the young Hendrix was a 10/10 dish featuring an extreme amount of flavor encompassing many different tastes, a pleasant experience for the pállette and every bite keeps one entertained and at edge of their feet truly. The lauryn hill bowl also had great flavor. These dishes are light years more impressive than other restaurants and other vegan restaurants as they are super healthy. The restaurants sends a clear message to the world that you can enjoy your food to the highest ability and it still be very healthy! I hope they open more locations as they are seized for success if they are able to market themselves properly and get people in the door. One critique would be a better ventilation system in the kitchen as fumes did emit into the dining area to the degree, poor ventilation would be my only critique but this is very minor when looking at all the other things. Very budget friendly restaurant, excellent accommodating staff, over the top tasting healthy food! Plan to come back as much as possible in the future

    I go here often enough and the customer service is amazing. They also have rewards and an app now…read moreso I recommend getting your points. Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support.

It's the perfect lunch, and honestly the perfect beach day meal too. There's just something about a giant, delicious vegan sub that hits every time. A while back they hosted a soul food night with oyster mushrooms, mac and cheese, greens, the whole lineup, and it was amazing. But those deli subs are still the thing I keep coming back for. They're huge, filling, and just taste like someone really cared while putting them together. There's seating inside and a wall where you can write your name, which I think is such a cute touch. Makes the place feel personal and loved. I also tried their carrot cake at VegFest recently and it was delicious and moist. They had a pretty steady line of people the entire time, so clearly the vegan crowd knows what's up. The subs run around $20 and everything is made fresh to order, so expect to wait a bit. It's worth it. I'm definitely looking forward to going back soon!!
