There's beautiful art on the walls. I had the mushroom caprese melt and my friend had the garden kraut mushroom Reuben. Both were served warm on perfectly crunchy house made spelt sourdough. I had the delightful potato salad, and my friend had the ginger Napa slaw. Portion sizes were appropriate for a filling lunch. Prices not bad considering the healthiness of the food and that a side is included (around $15 for a sandwich and side). Staff was helpful with the questions we had, accessible even though there was a kiosk to take our order. Check this spot out!

ALSO location is changing soon** Now, with that out-of-the-way, my review: this is a beautiful all vegan eatery, with lush interior colors and vibrant HEALTHY PLANT-BASED menu choices. The pictures included with my review are current as of the posted date. SMOOTHIES/ SANDWICHES/ DESSERTS/ FRESH JUICE & TEAS/ KID MENU/ HUMMUS/ PASTA SALAD/ FERMENTED PRODUCE are all available on the digital menu (see pics) My daughters and I are on a multi-day road trip, we stopped in for brunch. We enjoyed pasta salad from the pantry (i.e. grab and go fridge) and staff made avocado toast for my girls which is not currently on the menu, but was offered when they noted surprise over the outdated menu expectations. The pasta salad is phenomenally flavorful. It hit my taste buds like an electric current!! Homemade bread and mashed avocado never disappoints but theirs is next level. Staff is so sweet, kind and understanding. I hope this place thrives in its new location because it absolutely deserves to. My only advice to Hungry Caterpillar is "Live Long And PROSPER!!" Yes: 100% VEGAN YES: family friendly

I can easily imagine them running out early, so definitely plan to get there on the early side!

They have good reviews on Yelp as well as Google. They have plenty of parking in the front of the store. I got a dozen of varieties of large donuts for about $40 ($3 each).

The hospital staff enjoyed the doughnuts (based on their smiles and caring for my dad!) The people at the shop is also very nice and friendly!

With her delightful assistance, I began my meal with a Strawberry Lemon Drop. It was mixed to absolute perfection vibrant, refreshing, and exquisitely balanced. For my late lunch, I simply could not resist ordering the deviled eggs a dish I hold in high regard. When they arrived, they were extraordinarily fresh, beautifully presented, and utterly divine in every respect. From the pristine preparation and captivating atmosphere to Mari's standout service, Peacock Garden is an absolute triumph. Five stars without hesitation I shall most certainly be returning

We recently had dinner at Bellwether. They're on the northwest corner of Laura & Forsyth, downtown…read more This was our second time there but the second time for both of us eating there as we dipped in previously for me to eat when my wife had eaten elsewhere beforehand. We started with the Korean Fried Broccoli and we both had mixed feelings about it. We liked the overall taste but we both expected the breading to be far more crispy than it was. Having never tried it before, that could very well be how it's meant to be but when we see "Korean Fried", we are thinking crispy. Again, it wasn't bad, just not what we expected. I ordered the Steak Frites for my entree, which I ordered medium rare. Let me start by saying that the cook on the steak was perfect and I REALLY liked the fries and the seasoning on them. However, I was really surprised by how tough the the steak was. I mean, really tough. I liked parts of it but found it hard to enjoy most of it. My wife ordered the Sheep Style Smash Burger. She thought it was a good smash burger and the "sheep sauce" was a nice take on 1000 Island. She liked the potato bun and she really liked her fries as well. So it seems her entree was more of a success than mine. It's worth noting that our server Maya was fantastic. She added a lot to our enjoyment of the evening. Our server the first time was awesome too and I liked my entee (short rib) a LOT more. So we'll stop in again to try some other things eventually.

The…read moresandwich was spot on -- fresh and warm, with Cajun-seasoned shrimp that were perfectly cooked. The bread was soft and slightly sweet, which paired beautifully with the blackened spiced shrimp. Fries were flavorful though a bit thicker than expected for "shoestring," but still enjoyable. I paired it with Pinot Noir (1/2 off for happy hour!) and wrapped up the evening with strawberry and cream macarons -- a sweet, refreshing finish. Service was casual and welcoming. My server was friendly and personable. It felt easygoing yet professional, exactly the kind of service you want for a laid-back evening. The ambiance is modern rustic -- think wood accents, darker tones, and even a pig ceiling accent that adds some charm. Happy hour prices make it a great entry point if you're curious to try the menu. Overall, I've been here several times, and the consistency keeps me coming back: quality food, warm service, and an atmosphere that's lively without being overwhelming. Highly recommend, especially for a casual dinner or happy hour.
