If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Everything was yummy from the food to the drinks to the jarred things that I bought. Great Vegan spot and that’s coming from me the non-vegan.

I stopped at Chef Tanya’s during a road trip and may have found my new all-time favorite vegan restaurant! The Guadalajara burger was amazing and flavorful! With plenty of to-go options, I spent the next few days enjoying their mac and cheese, lasagna, and several desserts. I purposely timed my return trip so I could eat there again. The bagel sandwich was to die for! Seriously the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had. Don’t skip Chef Tanya’s if you’re remotely close...

Really like this place and all the vegan/meatless options. Was a favorite we were going to all the time.....only stopped going because they got rid of their espresso machine (or it's been broken for months). Will definitely go back soon. EDITED TO ADD: looks like the machine is fixed now!
