    Fiesta Style burger with gluten-free bun (closeup).
    Angela L.

    Vegan doesn't mean tasteless. At the counter, we were given a genuinely friendly welcome, and one of the two kind women patiently (and really cheerfully!) answered all our questions. One thing not mentioned in their menu: They have 3 options for the buns in a "hamburger": Wheat bun, 24 grain bread, and a gluten free ($3.50 extra, which is shown in the menu). They have specials written on a board that changes (likely daily). Including the two shown on the board, there were 5 choices for burgers. There were also 4 types of bowls includnig the one on the board. I shared a Punjabi Village Bowl, and a Fiesta Style burger (added a side salad for $4). The burger was absolutely delicious. It was an interesting combination of a crunchy exterior and moist interior, and very flavorful. The Village Bowl was also delicious. My only minor niggle is I wish the Punjabi bowl had a bit more flavor ("spicy cilantro chutney" made me think it might have some heat, but it did not). They have a lovely seating area outside in the back, with very clean picnic style tables, and a very pleasant garden. Something I don't usually comment on, but deserves a mention here. They have two unisex (one person) bathrooms, that were very clean (at least the one I visited was). (FYI: For customers only.) Service was so genuinely kind and happy that it just makes the entire experience so nice. But it doesn't hurt that the food was scrumptious, and with healthy options that are as good as possible to find at any restaurant (and certainly better than most).

    Ask for extra crisp sweet potato fries

    Still excellent service and food. TIP, ask for extra crispy sweet potato fries. Otherwise they are soggy limp.

    Delicious and wholesome food! My whole meal was flavorful and filling! Friendly staff and a great garden seating area!

    BLTA, potato salad, BBQ mac and cheese, fruit smoothie -- all 100% kind (animal-free)!

    We stopped at this delicious vegan restaurant on a road trip. The service was super friendly and efficient. The food was SO tasty!! We loved everything we tried including: - exceptionally authentic potato salad - perfectly toasted, smoky BLTA sandwich - just-the-right-sweetness-level blackberry smoothie - creamy BBQ mac and cheese Portion sizes did not disappoint. We left over full because the food was too good to get a takeout box. Looking forward to the mixed berry pie we got to go. After trying to piece together plant-based meals (hello, french fries) from regular restaurants coming up the coast, a true vegan eatery was hugely welcome! Non-vegans will love it , too! We sat inside at the front table and had a little view of the water. The back garden looked lovely as well.
