Oh I love this spot!! It’s the first time I’ve been here and my aunt lives across the street. I am not much of a vegan food type of person because I love my meats and real cheeses and eggs, but this place was AMAZING! Don’t let the outside fool you. There are so many options here and you will not be disappointed. Isidro was the best as providing recommendations. He also gave us a taste of their famous lentil soup, which tasted like grandma’s recipe. It was really tasty, but we had already ordered way too much! We had the homemade hummus plate with fresh veggies, an avocado salad (the most beautiful!), and the hummus and avocado veggie spinach wrap. I really loved my wrap! It made me smile eating it, which is what food should do. I also loved knowing that what I was putting in my body was healthy and not processed. Oh, I also ordered a freshly made juice - I chose beets/apple/orange/carrots. You can choose up to four ingredients from their various fruits and veggies. I can’t wait to come back! Read less

Really delicious,healthy, plant based menu. My favorites are the waffles, which are huge, by the way! And they serve it with a very generous serving of fresh fruit and this tasty berry type of jam. I add the syrup, too. It's so good. Also, their potato tacos are TDF. Super yummy. Read less

Firstly, for a vegan restaurant the food was actually pretty good. I don't usually go to vegan restaurants, and I assumed they would serve me some kind of leaf or mushrooms, but no. I got the club sandwich and it was pretty solid. They used some kind of fake bacon and chicken, and it wasn't bad. My wife got the black bean burger deluxe and she loved it. She's also part vegan so don't take her word for it, because she actually enjoys healthy food. Anyway, the service was great. The lady was super nice, these are some things she did: Turned on heater for us sitting outside, she even placed a napkin on a wobbly table for us, she gave us water for the dogs, etc. She was extremely friendly. Atmosphere was cool, we sat outside and they turned the heater on for us. I also loved watching the people go by outside. I would come back if my wife was with me because she's cool and vegan, but by myself --- no! Read less

We had 5 of their tacos and some roasted potatoes. Tacos were very fun and creative. Took the potatoes to go because I prefer them to be crispier on the outside. They were nice out of the air fryer at home. Had a slice of carrot cake to go. Nice flavor. Yes it’s all vegan. So many choices. Read less
