This food by far, filled all of my nutritional needs...savory, sweet and filling while being healthy. The mushroom steak...oh my...I couldn't tell the difference between beef or mushroom. The same texture and spice. What?! A mushroom tasting like beef is Bananas!! I don't have the vocabulary to explain the flavor of this food. Ok ok, let me start with our arrival. We arrived at this small quaint building with street parking. There's a small sign on the window. Upon entering you hear the smooth jazz playing and you're met with a colorful decor with a Caribbean vibe. You then hear a sweet soulful voice, "can I help you. Great customer service. So many menu options, wraps, burgers, sides, smoothies and even an option for meal plans. Looking for holistic wellness consultations? This place has that available to you. It's time for us to get healthy and this is the place to get started! I'm going back!

As a near life-long vegetarian, I'm always excited to try out new spots, especially small/local vegan restaurants. This place is so adorable, I loved the atmosphere walking in; very small and quaint, yet charming. All of areas are clean and tidy. I got the Kaleicious Wrap (gluten free wrap, kale, and other complimentary veggies) with sweet potato fries and a Happy Feelings Tropical Good smoothie (pineapple, papaya, mango, banana, and strawberries). Everything was delicious! The workers and owners were kind and were able to describe everything in detail about the holistic health of their foods.

The house Greek salad dressing was so good I would drink it if I could. I wish I could buy it or find a recipe, I would eat salad every meal. The restaurant is historic and has all the vibes of a classic eatery that make you feel good. We loved it, best meal I've had in a long while. In a sea full of Sysco restaurants, this place and its staff... stand out. Thank you!

The portions are filling and the ingredients are fresh, simple, and flavorful. The dressings they make really elevate the dishes, adding more complexity to the dishes. I loved the chipotle vinaigrette! I was intrigued by the Not Yo Mama's Rice crispy treat and now I think I have found my new (less) guilty pleasure in town. It was SOOOOO good. Do yourself a favor and try one. On another note, although the front of the house was pretty spotless, I think a little more attention could be had behind the line. Gloves should also be changed between ringing someone up and then making another bowl.

Disappointing to say the least. After waiting 15 plus minutes for the entree, food was cold to the touch. The rice was dry, and the beans were watery and smothered with cheese as to hide the recycling of it. The steak was dry and way overcooked. The steak looks like it was recycled as well.

The best lentil soup I have ever had. Now let me explain why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. The cafe is spacious with lots of seating. Very bright and filled with plants. The staff are very chill if that makes sense. No smiles, jokes, even conversations amongst themselves. They move at a slower pace. I placed a call in order and I still had to wait some time and observed all this while standing there. The staff are not in a hurry. Not necessarily a negative thing but just the vibe at that moment. Something else significant that I noticed, was there was no AC. I got 3 golden temple stacks with added vegetables and a 8oz soup along with tip totaling $53.13. They ask you in person if you want to add a tip so be prepared for that. There is parking specific for golden temple and a person sitting outside monitoring the space. I would definitely go back for the food but the stars do have to align. I do not want to be the person picking it up and I would only dine in during winter months.

Well I was right by all accounts. That was definitely an auntie taking orders and probably her sister, if not her mom, on the grill. When I saw all that bacon and real scrambled eggs, I knew I needed to treat this as the last great meal I'll eat for a while. The food was seasoned and hot and the staff was somewhat friendly.
