Love any place that lets you color while waiting for your food. They have a cooler of things to grab while you wait or for takeout. Half of the menu was pierogies and finding vegan options was a huge plus. The loaded pierogies were arguably better than the buffalo option. I'm partial because I am not a fan of buffalo sauce. The only con was the utensils were impossible to use. They kept on breaking and could not cut anything. Wish they had reusable options that were a little more sturdy.

The first time I went was on a rainy winter day. I met up with a friend of mine who's also vegan…read more The restaurant itself is small, with about four or five booths and a couple of two- to four-person tables. There's a bathroom that's a little narrow, but it was clean. When I first walked in, I was starving and a bit tired, so I ordered their peppermint latte. It was absolutely delicious--creamy, smooth, and perfectly warm. I've seen other reviews mentioning that their drinks were served cold, but mine was just right. I loved it so much I ended up ordering a second one. For food, I started with their coconut yogurt granola parfait. I didn't expect it to be anything special, but it turned out to be the best coconut yogurt parfait I've ever had. It was sweet--but not too sweet--and perfectly balanced. Next, I ordered the gluten-free waffles topped with a fruit compote, along with a side of their Bed Head hash and vegan bacon. Everything was incredibly flavorful. I couldn't believe how delicious it all tasted. My friend got the chicken and waffles and enjoyed his meal just as much. I loved it so much that I came back one more time after that--and, of course, I had to get the waffles again. The food here is outstanding, and I recommend it to everyone, whether you're vegan or not. Just keep in mind that the space is small, they don't take reservations, and street parking is limited--you may want to arrive a few minutes early to find a spot. Overall, it's an amazing place. Definitely give it a try.

Had high hopes for this place because there were quite a few people there already at 9:15 on a…read moreSunday and the reviews were so good. It was 10 by the time we decided to call it and ask about if the food was coming or not. However, we had a pretty simple order, French toast and a biscuit. We saw two tables have their order sent back for different reasons, one got their order wrong and the second admitted their menu was written incorrectly. We waited 45 minutes for our food and in that time saw two tables that came after get their food before us. We were told the kitchen was backed up and they had no idea when it would come out. They had one chef doing all of the cooking and that really slowed them down. We understand waiting, but the lack of service or communication did it. Plus we were charged for the coffee at double the price. Their menu said chai latte was $3 or 3.50 and it was nearly $7. Such a lie and clearly quite a bit needs to be worked out here. They can communicate the wait so people know what to expect. Cannot recommend anyone come here even though the food looked good. Horrible staff and do not tell you about the wait.

Excellent food worth seeking out…read more The space is a concrete box made cozier with the impressive collection of plants. That fiddle leaf fig is amazing! There are games available to play. We grabbed a game for the wait-- one person was taking orders and preparing the food. But the wait wasn't bad at all, and it was well worth it. I loved my bowl of vegetable curry. Flavorful, full of local veggies. My companion loved the burger. Fries were delicious, fresh cut potatoes. We ended with oat milk soft serve. I got a seasonal blueberry syrup on mine, and I'm glad I did. If I lived nearby I'd be a regular.

I don't usually eat ice cream but it was 100° outside so I got a cup of soft serve with Oreos to go. Best vegan soft serve I've ever had. The only reason this isn't a straight up five star is that the beverage cooler is insanely loud. Also, I would've loved to have seen more greens on the menu. A little salad or some steamed greens would've been a nice balance to the relatively heavy sandwich. But I can't argue with the taste, it was all delicious. Total comfort food. Recommended.

Service has declined tremendously - we were practically forgotten about when dining here last night (it was a Saturday night with only two groups of people in the restaurant and 3 servers, so don't understand why we'd be neglected).

Apps are now $17 and used to be $12 and service is now the worst it's ever been? What am I paying for?
