We went through the drive through and got 4 different items for our family. Before pulling back onto the road, we pulled into the parking lot to make sure all items were correct, they were.

What a great place to eat really tasty and delicious 'alternative' food! Been there twice on our…read morevisits to The Springs and the two guys who run the restaurant, couldn't be nicer or more quality conscious than they are. Loved the two seitan entrees, hot and bbq, very tasty and something you don't find in many places. Unique and first class. Their 'cheese burgers' are out of this world and the tater tots are cooked with touchdown goodness. The super hit on the menu, while not vegan, are the milkshakes made with Josh and John local ice cream. Absolutely killer! Thick, creamy and over the top the best shakes in a very long time. The location moved to North Academy Blvd so call ahead. This is one phenomenal fast food' style stop in The Springs.

You can park in a pay lot next to the Hotel It's at the floor level of or you can park on the street and pay metered parking. We chose metered. I dislike the scan & pay lots. You walk in & you should review the menu prior & pay up front, and then your menu selections will be delivered to your table. It's a beautiful set up, it reminds me of a greenhouse there's large wooden tables, & smaller black tables in a glass encased area with several hanging plants. There are also many table/booth combinations inside. We ordered: Hobo sandwich with seasoned cubed potatoes Slice of quiche Side of season potatoes Beet salad (added grilled chicken) An iced tea Spicy chai Total was close to $80 average for brunch definitely not terrible once you see the quality of what comes out of the kitchen. Tasting it all was amazing - flavorful, thoughtfully prepared & great attention to detail including sourcing great ingredients and using the correct spices! I cannot wait to come back and try something else!

Our last two visits here have been disappointing. I thought last time may have been an isolated…read moreincident or new cook, so we tried it again today. Another let down. This has been put on our no list now. When we ordered today, my son asked about Caesar salad and the woman at the counter did not say that they didn't have them. Then when they brought the food out, she said it's not an option. Why not say it when we ordered. Last time my bowl was missing the goat cheese, and I had to ask for it. I also added chicken and mushrooms to my bowl and I literally received about 5-6 mushrooms, which equals more than a dollar a mushroom. This time, my side salad was supposed to have balsamic and had another dressing. My son had the burger and said that the consistency was weird. My other son had the same sandwich he always has and the bread was different, though the menu didn't indicate that it was.

The crew was awesome and it's always cool to me to see how hands-on every single person on the staff is. I was super hungry so I ordered the Niçoise salad which was perfect. The vinaigrette they have is flavorful and I would put it on anything. Since I've been on a ramen kick lately I had to have the wabi-sabi ramen which I highly recommend to everyone. Drinks! I got the good luck, outlaw and it was bright, not too sweet, gingery. If you're not used to consuming turmeric this may kick start your digestion so be wary if you're going somewhere with limited restrooms. Good for the gut really means GOOD for the gut. If you've never visited this little spot, don't be afraid to try something you may have not heard of. Shuga's is avant-garde dining, with a menu of all different kind of items that somehow still co-exist without sacrificing flavor, but still shows love to that menu item's traditional style. When you go there, you'll know what I mean. Have fun!

Service was great and friendly, definitely a popular spot because lines form quickly! My brother had a chicken sandwich that he very much enjoyed and devoured, and my mom had a salad that was huge and she was super full and satisfied after eating it. The vegan breakfast burrito gets a 15/10 from me, and I didn't even add any extras. Incredible flavor, didn't fall apart, and was just perfect! I also got a vegan chocolate chip cookie and it was huge and absolutely amazing!! Ambience was awesome, outdoor and indoor seating upstairs and downstairs so no issues finding a table. Overall, I would love to go back on my next visit and my family loved it as well! I want another breakfast burrito if I'm being honest

Drinks are going to be drinking, Not that I've gotten that out of the way... I've always heard such great things about Bird Tree Cafe. And I hadn't gone until yesterday! Figured I'd go before the farmers market across the street in Acacia Park. I got the bookworm latte and it was so good. I was worried it would be too sweet (it was a little sweet), but the brown sugar cinnamon syrup they make really balanced it out. It was so good. It was creamy, dreamy, and the caramel was decadent. I didn't get any food--just the coffee unfortunately, but I do plan on coming back! $7.25 (I think) for a latte is a bit pricey, but the drink is really good. So if you're gonna spend a bit extra, go there for a coffee instead of Starbucks. Service was quick for a long line and the hanging plants and lights made for such a great vibe. I cannot wait to come back and try their breakfast and more lattes!

We got the pupusa in green chili sauce and plantains and both were amazing. I appreciated that they didn't need to doll it up. They just let the good food speek for itself. The pupusas were a nice mix of savory, tangy, and the plantains were carmilized on their own sugars. No notes. Now here are some notes. It is packed most of the time so get there early. We went once on a friday and everyone was shoulder to shoulder waiting for a table. The music level was also one that got to my wife. Luckily we were sitting further away from it but if we were closer I don't think we could have had a good conversation. The final one that got me was the plastic cups. This seems like such an easy fix and is such a bumber. The best way to give themselves a little extra time for dishes and reduce the cloud is probably just too open up a new location. All that being said, they are still great.
