We had the Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, tofu “crab”cakes and pie. All was at least good, although I thought that the Mac and cheese leaned a bit too hard on nutritional yeast for flavor. The meal came with complementary boiled peanuts, which seem to be an acquired taste that I have not acquired. The pie was outstanding! We saw a lot of folks ordering the chicken fried oyster mushrooms and it looked delicious. We will try it new time. A much better choice for dinner than Ravens.

Amazing vegan food in small but charming atmosphere

Delicious vegetarian brunch for mother's day. Super friendly staff. Super cute decor. I love the wallpaper in the bathroom. I look forward to eating on the patio next time!🌟

The need to know details: I ordered takeout and they automatically, without mentioning it, added a 20% gratuity....for take out! That alone would make me think twice about going back. I order quite a few things to try. Here's what I'd recommend and not: The Mac n cheese was a little soggy, but the flavor was good. Order the kids one to avoid spice of the Cajun version. The crabbie cakes flavor is good but they were greasy and soggy (although I bet fresh in the restaraunt they would have been crispier.) The mashed potatoes are a pass for me. If your not a fan of potato skins in your mashed potato, you may want to pass. And they were skimpy with the gravy, which tasted good. The asparagus and leek soup also was not my favorite. I'm not sure if I'll be eating it or not. I got two desserts: strawberry rhubarb pie which had some sort of whipped cream on top which made it soggy. The flavor was tart and missing something on this dessert. The beignettes were flavored ok but very greasy. The sauces were a lemon one and a chocolate coffee? One. It was runny and the lemon one tasted good but had chunks in it on??? Located on the ave

This is a sweet gem of a restaurant in windy Mendocino. The food is exceptional,yes exceptional! No hype,just cool,interesting dishes,from boiled peanuts to chickpea pot pie. I wish I could eat there every week.Unfortunately,Ilive in Massachusetts.The atmosphere is equally delectable. Studio One reggae classics purring in the background while be waited on by a catlike waitress.

One of the most incredible meals I’ve ever had. Vegan or not everyone who eats here will enjoy the experience :)
It's a great little spot right in town (Mendocino). It's almost all vegan. I think that the only ingredient that is not vegan is egg. If you are vegan, order anything you want off the menu and ask to make it vegan (it will likely already be vegan). Everything on the menu is delicious. They have pleasant outdoor seating in the back.

Amazing food. I didn’t think vegetarian food could be this tasty. I will come here every time I come near Mendocino. I highly recommend. It’s also staffed with very friendly folks. Be sure to get the fried chicken (which is actually a mushroom inside).

This review is more related to the wine bar / bottle shop attached.
Love that they had vegan options to pair with wine and several natural wine selections to choose from. Lovely staff- very welcoming and helpful.

Based on other reviews I thought this was a vegetarian cafe, but it’s 100% vegan!
We started with the Mac n cheese, crabbie cakes, and biscuit sliders, but once we saw other people’s order of hush puppies we had to order one as well. My personal favorites were the crabbie cakes and sliders, but we all had different favorites.
We shared the oyster mushroom entree which was incredible and unlike anything I’ve had before. Then ended with the salad and purple sweet potato cheesecake, which is a must if you like cheesecake.
To top it off we shared a delicious bottle of natural wine. If you have time check out their bottle shop next door!
