    Upstairs outdoor seating

    This is a cozy, welcoming spot offering delicious coffee, pastries, brunch, and lunch. The menu is VERY vegan friendly, and (I think) entirely vegetarian. I love how accommodating the owner is with special orders. On one occasion, I ordered avocado toast but wanted both tofu scramble and coconut "bacon" as toppings, a combination not on the menu. Another time, the owner made a custom salad for me that wasn't on the menu. This business is taking COVID-19 very seriously. Masks are required by workers and customers. The door is left open for improved ventilation. There is outdoor seating upstairs, though you may have to ask for access if the gate leading to the stairs isn't open.

    Good bagel and cream cheese, black coffee. Fast friendly service. Convenient parking. Decor reminiscent of Denver coffee places.

    Absolutely fantastic food. Took a party of 7 for dinner and took up half the seating. We all…read moreordered different things and tasted each others plus appetizers and dessert. It was all excellent, truly. The group included two vegans and one vegetarian, with the other four omnivores. No one was disappointed. We tried the Jambalaya Pasta with sausage and chicken, couple of burgers, the spicy chicken, the Jerk chicken, the crab and shrimp pasta (divine), and sides of fried okra, sweet potato fries, brussel sprouts, plantains... amazing. The appetizers were very very good: spring rolls and cauliflower bites. The desserts also excellent. The service was friendly and relaxed. Made to order, not fast food, and we felt welcome to hang out and chat. There isn't a great deal of space and the style of the seating is pretty minimal. Threw me back to my NYU student days and the amazing zen Buddhist minimalist restaurant in the west village I frequented... No complaints even from the omnivores. We cleaned our plates and talked about how good it was on the ride home!! I've been vegetarian for 35 years and this was some of the best "mock" meat/seafood I've ever had. My shrimp and crab pasta was unbelievable and sampled by everyone at the table, lol. Also quite affordable. We were 7 people and got 2 appetizers and 2 desserts and it was under $200 before tip. With generous portions.

    This was my third meal ever from Reizod. Last item someone else got the food, so I kinda went all…read moreout this time. Had the Chef Salad, Blueberry NY Cheezecake, Cauliflower Bites & M'eat Lovers Pizza. The latter was sold out online but I did call it in. They also didn't have any pepperoni on it, which was a let down. I also technically had the gluten-free cheesecake since the first one was sold out. Also had the Iced Raspberry Tea. Everything was very good. The flavor and taste of the pizza was on point. I put it in the oven a little on my end as I like a crispy crust. The last time I had to cauliflower bites they had sauce on them...I prefer dipping it like this with sauce on the side. I prefer the Cheezecake at room temperature. Coming out of the fridge I wasn't feeling it. The service for me was in the middle. They were accommodating, but I also felt a bit dismissed. I'll attribute it to the end of the night and will try coming here again.

    This is a standard diner setting with counter service and some amazing art decorating the walls…read more Each piece has a name (possibly artist name) and price which I am a huge fan of; sell that art honey!!! They have a variety of supplements for sale also which is nice to have in a local shop that's not a big chain. I tried their Sexy Red juice which was delicious. I am a morning juicer, usually apples, beets and carrots so I was very excited to see a beet juice on the menu. I had their walnut eggrolls and quinoa Mac and cheese bowl. I called them immediately and asked what kind of sorcery is in these egg rolls because it was the best Eggroll I've ever had! It was crispy on the outside and nutty on the inside. The sauce tastes like hoisin and bbq had a baby. It came with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce that I paid no mind to until my daughter dipped her Eggroll in it; it's delicious. The Mac and cheese bowl missed the mark for me. While the topping which had beans and the cabbage were delicious, the pasta in the Mac and cheese was overcooked and the quinoa lacked in flavor. The service was friendly but there was a longer wait than expected for the food. Expecting to spend a few minutes in the wait for food but it was so so so worth it. Definitely recommend
