    I love it when a vegan/vegetarian restaurant is so good, I do not miss meat. We stopped in for lunch and were very pleased with our decision. We all had the grilled "cheese" with avocado with a side salad and choice of dressing. I put the cheese in quotes because the cheese was a non-dairy product. In the past, I avoided non-dairy cheese because of the lack of flavor and oily tase. This was good. The sandwich was grilled to perfection and the avocado was perfectly ripe and was a great touch of richness to the sandwich. I opted for balsamic vinaigrette dressing on the salad of mixed greens. It was delicious. The service was good, but a bit unconventional. We were greeted and seated and given menus, but had to go to the counter to place our order. Not a really a quibble, just an observation. All the staff were very friendly and informative on the products they serve. Our glasses of flavored water were frequently replenished and our satisfaction with the meal was confirmed. I would definitely make a return visit when back in the area.

    Quaint. Nestled. Perfect. Delicious food. Extraordinary service. Good for the belly and soul. So relaxing and so much to try!

    "Egg" salad wrap

    We love firefly so much!!! Great food and great folks that own it. We've been coming to firefly for five years and can't recommend the place enough. They helped our whole family transition from vegetarians to vegans with all their amazing options. I hope more people come out and experience their amazing food!!!! We love you firefly!!!!

    Seitan tacos

    Good little place, though their customer service could be better. The seitan tacos are really delicious. The salad that comes with it is super fresh and the homemade carrot ginger dressing is good. The staff also comes around and refills either cucumber or orange water, a really nice touch. The only thing I did not care for was the #2 smoothie, something with cherry, cacao nibs and coconut flakes. I've never had to chew a smoothie before, and the ingredients really did not work together as the cacao nibs don't emulsify and are very bitter. I really did not like it. When I mentioned that I did not care for it, they did not offer to change it out, only then told me that cacao nibs don't blend, so I will say I was not happy about that. I don't recommend that choice at all. It's the first time I ever had a smoothie I really didn't like, and that took it from a 5-star rating down to 3 for me. Now instead of remembering delicious food, I remember the bad experience about the smoothie. It's pricey as well. The seitan tacos, 2 smoothies and a bagel came to $40!

    Just a superb addition to Boyertown and Berks County in general and very much needed -- my evidence: it was PACKED the entire time were there. We watched people be turned away (oh the sadness on their faces) and felt lucky to have grabbed a spot. It is a small space, and it was lunch hour, so try to visit in an off time. Firefly is all vegetarian, non-GMO, and organic, with about 80% of the menu vegan. They use the incredible, supergourmet artisan nut-based cheese from Miyoko's Kitchen, OMG! I have never seen that anywhere. (It is our mail-order splurge for birthdays and holidays.) Everything is made from scratch, but our wait was short and our food wonderful: berry smoothie, avocado toast, pulled pork sandwich made with BBQ jackfruit, and a spinach salad with aforementioned fancy cheese as well as a wonderful lemon-tahini-miso dressing. We will be back ASAP for the mac & cheese, which is a daily special as well as the panini, I think. Even their table water comes with hints of lemon and cucumber. Breakfast includes tofu scramble, eggless frittata, homemade granola, vegan mini-quiches, and a breakfast burrito. More lunch items: raw kale salad, veggie burger, and a portobello cheese steak. Hearty elegant healthy comfort food done right. Most dishes are around $10 each. Right off the main square in a former jewelry store, Firefly is artful without being hippie, giving off a warm vintage earthy vibe. There is only room for a few tables, but there's also a bar (not the alcoholic kind, not sure if they are BYOB). Best seats are in the windows with the pillows. You can see right into the kitchen. Service was sweet and enthusiastic, despite how incredibly busy they were. Order at the counter, and they bring it to you. Credit cards are accepted of course, and there is free wifi. I predict they will expand quickly. They are not open in the evenings but how I would love that. The demand is great, and all ages of people were packed in the day we were there. Simply a delight. Visit soon!

    "Pulled pork". So good!

    I'll start with the positives.. the workers were really nice and the place was cute (grandma vibes…read more/quirky). Okay now onto the other stuff. When we went, most of their coffee specials were sold out. They're also dairy free but why don't they advertise that? We had people after us also ask for dairy milk too. We ordered one of their spring lattes and a cortado and the barista asked "hot or iced" for the cortado. I don't think I've ever had an iced cortado in my life. When i got my regular cortado (hot), it was in a 10-12 oz cup (look at my picture of the cortado cup vs my medium latte) and don't get me wrong.. i do love that because it's huge but .. as a coffee roaster... y'all don't do the typical cortado size? It was weird to me. Like they just opened a coffee roaster/coffee shop but don't really know the coffee basics? The espresso shot pulled was also pretty sour. I don't think I've ever had a bad shot with a coffee roaster shop but this one is an exception i guess. Spring latte was also not good. Syrup was nonexistent in flavor and latte was watery. If you were to come here & want a hot latte, just order a hot cortado. You'd get more bang for your buck.

    Great service although I was upset that they didn't have the sour dough. I was asked if I wanted…read moreeverything bagel but that would've been an extra charge. So I (begrudgingly in my head) went with plain. I tried to come here yesterday but they closed at 3 PM and this was not mentioned on their IG either. I tried to come here around 445 PM because I had a gift card to use up. The chick pea sandwich isn't too shabby with the buffalo flavor. I think it would've bored me without it. Maybe lettuce and tomato would make this stand out but this place might not get the traffic to try to maintain lettuce and tomato in theory facility. The strawberry crunch donut has good flavor on the outside and inside. They took my food away before I could finish it. One of my drinks still had stuff in it too. A bit upset about that. Guess I should let the staff know next time so that they didn't think I left as I had to go to the bathroom badly. I know it can be hard to tell if someone is leaving food for waste which I hate to do but it was also respectable quality too. Maybe I shouldn't complain because I ended up wanting to go to the Phoenixville Farmer's market the next day and then picked up a hat I forgot about from Blue Label Men's Grooming right before I left Phoenixville. Though I am a Yelp reviewer and I like to complain too.
