It did not disappoint! I tried the Norma sandwich which was delicious. The tofu skin patty was unlike any other faux chicken I've had and so good! And because I'm always on the search for great vegan mac and cheese I had that as my side. Absolutely delicious! Very creamy. Portions are large here so I brought some of the mac home and am looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow. My husband tried the dip sandwich with a side of the mashed potatoes and gravy and ate every last bit. He loved it. It's a very cute cafe on the corner with friendly staff. I witnessed a man in need come in and take advantage of the program they have where you can buy a meal for a hungry person to come in in the future and have a free meal. That's a lovely service to the community. So glad I was able to finally patronize this great vegan business! I'll try to come back soon!

No indoor seating but a few tables outside and when weather is great it's the perfect place to eat. Many returning customers when I was there as Brian addressed them all by name.

Love the flavor profiles of the arugula, aioli, w/ the layers of protein & veg. Best quality sandwich in town, hands down. Took away some homemade soups and sausage for dinner, and everything was outstanding, Rich hearty soups- the split pea and also the lentil had great flavor. I grilled up some peppers and onions to go with the sweet Italian sausage, and that was really good as well. I will be getting my Thanksgiving bird from them. The owner Brian, was super friendly, knowledgeable, and even gave me some local recs. They have a good selection of cheeses and also some high quality dry goods as well. I came to get sandwiches, but I'll be back to stock up on much more. Super stoked I found this place.

Seems to be a pretty popular place to swing in and grab something for lunch really quick. Clean looking establishment. You can watch them make your food right in front of you and they'll bring it out to you if you want to sit outside. I guess the tables outside could be just a bit bigger. Great place though! Before we drove away I noticed the lady who took our order was already out cleaning our table.

It's a small place, but don't let that fool you. They know what they're doing! Super efficient and clean - instant ordering and your food is ready minutes later. For only having two people working I was shocked at the speed and the cleanliness. Bonus points! The curry chickpea sandwich was so delicious - the chickpea mix along with fresh arugula and perfectly pickled red onions (coming from someone who doesn't even like red onions) was wonderful. The fresh bread was the ideal container for this pile of wonderfulness. For a prompt, fresh, clean, under $15 lunch you can to beat this place!

Cool cafe with pretty mid food…read more The ambiance inside is really relaxing; plenty of comfortable seating with plenty of plants around to make a warm and inviting space. The cafe is attached to a store, but that doesn't really affect the cafe all that much. The tablecloths used have a tendency to slide around very easily. We got the tempe blt panini and tempeh Ruben panini with their fries. The fries and ketchup were the best tasting item. You can add extras to the sandwiches, but that gets pretty pricey pretty fast. I added on avocado for $2, which was left off my sandwich so be sure to check that your food is correct. They did give me a small cup of avocado when I went up to the front, but I unfortunately did not notice it was missing until I had already eaten half of my sandwich. The food itself was a bit greasy. Not too overwhelming, but enough that it affected the meal. The sandwiches are pretty small, but filling enough for a lunch sized portion. Beyond food, everything else is self service (water, napkins, utensils). Not bad unless you have limited mobility, then it will be difficult to maneuver around the tables to the small cramped corner that everything else is located. When a gentleman asked the staff if they would bring him a fork (needed assistance walking), the staff only pointed again where the utensils were located before walking away.

We've driven by so many times and finally stopped in for lunch -- safe to say we'll be back. We ordered two house specials (two meats + fried egg). I got the pork and tofu, and my boyfriend got the beef and pork. Heads up, the marinade can be on the sweeter side (according to my bf), so if that's not your thing, it might not be your go-to. But i really liked the balance of sweetness with the spice of the jalapeños. The bread was the standout for me. A lot of banh mi places have bread that's too hard, but theirs was perfectly crisp and easy to bite into. Can't wait to try more of the menu

Ordered an everything bagel with garlic cream cheese, an onion bagel with garlic cream cheese, and a toasted garlic bagel with butter. The prices are really reasonable.

Not enough toppings on the bagels, and definitely not enough cream cheese. Bagels had a nice crust, and soft interior, but were more bready than bagel dense, and a little on the dry side.
