While nice staff, I am sorry to report my disappointment as I was expecting so much more based on reviews. I had a tofu-based breakfast sandwich that had scant flavor save for the impossible sausage and a mac n cheez that had a strange processed taste—all in the setting of a school lunchroom.

So satisfying, so delicious, so friendly. It’s really worth coming here! #Veganuary

This place is what I love, it’s vegan and delicious!

I really appreciate the fact that it’s a scratch kitchen that doesn’t use seed oils. Everything was quite good and different than my usual fare. Definitely recommend checking it out

We loved our breakfast sandwiches! Would definitely go back and try more!! Located in an office lunch room type setting, but that was fine because the food was really good! A lot of other really ā€œfancierā€ places sometimes simply lack in the food quality.

This place is a SCAM!!! This was the worst vegan food I have ever had. I got the French toast platter and asked for veggie bacon instead of impossible sausage, because I’m not a fan of impossible. The bacon was disgusting, barely warmed up, the tofu scramble was mostly arugula, and the French toast was tough and difficult to cut with the plastic fork I was provided to eat with. The French toast came with a ā€œsyrupā€ that was NOT any kind of syrup I’ve ever had before. Worse than the $1 pancake syrup you can buy at Walmart. I’m not joking, I think it was Torani flavoring syrup, like the kind you flavor drinks with. It smelled alcoholy and when I poured it on my barely passable french toast it completely ruined it. Absolutely disgusting. My partner got a breakfast burrito which he said was also mostly arugula. Worst breakfast burrito he’s ever had. We got two slices of their cake, one pumpkin spice and one lavender. The cake part itself was as plain as cake can possibly be, absolutely zero flavor, maybe even zero sugar? The flavor was all in the icing. The icing on the pumpkin spice cake was passable, but still borderline flavorless. The icing on the lavender cake was actually bad, disgusting. I’ve never had a piece of cake that nasty in my entire life. This place was shockingly bad, and spending almost $60 on breakfast there was an enormous waste of money. I am sick of pop up vegan restaurants in strange business parks using BOTTOM OF THE BARREL ingredients and plastic utensils to save on costs, scamming vegan food fans out of money and getting away with it. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Editing this 11/1/24 to reply to the owner’s comment on my original review: I feel compelled to write reviews on places when they shock me with how terrible they are. The fact that I’ve only written two of them should serve to demonstrate that of all the vegan places I visit and frequent yours was one of the worst, only rivaled by Slim Thick Cafe. My beef with your establishment has nothing to do with your race or gender, which I did not even know before you posted it in your reply for me to read; but thanks for glancing at my profile, judging me and immediately assuming that because I’m a white guy I must be a racist. My issue was that the food was the worst I’ve ever had, same as Slim Thick Cafe. Maybe try providing your customers with proper ceramic dish ware and real metal utensils instead of cheap plastic plates and Dollar Tree plastic forks. I felt straight up scammed by the way your business served me and you should be ashamed. I think it says a lot about you as a person that you took the time to write such a nasty reply to my genuine and honest review, instead of taking the criticism constructively like an adult. Have a great day, or better yet, don’t.

P.S To anyone reading this ridiculousness - after viewing multiple other posts, it’s apparent that she does this to everyone who speaks their mind and writes a negative review. This owner is a petty, small person who can’t take criticism constructively whatsoever and probably shouldn’t own a business. I have never been so disrespected by a business owner in my life, please do not eat here or give this person any more of your hard earned money.

Everything on the menu is amazing, my go-to are any of the Mac N Cheez bowls. Chef Crystal and her staff always deliver excellent customer service.
