We came here during happy hours and ordered a bunch of small plates/sides plus the buss up shut to share. Food was pretty good overall. Loved the waffle fries. The callaloo and the cornbread were alright. The chickpea curry from the buss up shut was a little bland. That said, the happy hours pricing can't be beat!

I was so excited to try this vegan restaurant when visiting Denver. I love the airy, Caribbean vibes, and the food was delicious. I wanted to try everything! I loved the cassareep rice bowl - it had great flavors, and was just a hint spicy with a nice sweet pineapple and crispy tofu. The cornbread was a little dry but had great flavor. And the curried waffle fries were great too! The drinks are also delightful and fun. I recommend the dirty banana cocktail for dessert!

This is such a great food spot. Great vibes with the interior design, tons of beautiful plants, and open doors/airflow when the weather is nice. Situated on a cute and quiet side street as well. The service is great, very friendly employees. LOVE the plant based menu. They just unveiled a new brunch plan/ menu and the options are delicious and unique with thoughtful flavor combinations. Cant wait to go back to try more of the menu, and to recommend to people! Just delicious.
