Popular spot in Little Italy with other locations. Has a number of vegan options, visited multiple times and had the waffles as well as the avocado toast. Toast was on the small side for the price. Also offers a number of vegan baked good such as cookies and muffins which were excellent!

Very nice place for a quick stop for a good cup of coffee and breakfast. Fairly priced too for California prices
