Ordered the Mushroom Tofu Nachos nachos and what I got was ground up beef look crap, no avocados, and the portion size for $16 is ridiculous small. I get more food from Sweet Cane Cafe, Vegan Shop, Tina Garden Cafe for the same price, and there food looks like what they are advertising. Coffee size is not worth almost $10. Go elsewhere I know we will.

They only have a few vegan options. I got the veggie sandwich and substituted vegan mayo. It is pretty simple, but it is done very well. I thought it was delicious. The staff is incredibly friendly and are happy to give recommendations for other places to visit.
So so much better since the new owner has taken over. Food was good and service was polite.

Food came quickly and looked so good I forgot to take pics. We had the nachos, made vegan with mushroom and tofu topping minus the cheese. Also had the veggie sandwich, sub vegan mayo. Both dishes were delicious. Portions could have been a bit bigger.
Small portions !

Portion size of burrito is too small (about 1.5 inch diameter by 6 inch long) and even had air pockets. Sandwiches are more reasonable. I wish there was a more healthy alternative to potato chips

A cute atmosphere for meeting a friend for brunch. A couple solid vegan options. I had the pesto tartine and was underwhelmed. Overall, 3/5 stars for me.

We really like this place, once they get settled in I'm sure the kinks will work themselves out. We ordered coffee there, sandwiches and acai bowls. Everything is great
Flavors are on point. We'll be back again.

I feel kind of conflicted writing this because if you had asked me to rate Vibe last year, it would have been an easy 5+ stars (I liked it so much I remembered it for the next trip). While the servers are kind and the decorations are so cute and stylish, I probably won't be back.
The food is delicious, but the portions are so, so small. I just can't justify the price (even though all the food around the island is more expensive than last year). I got the acai bowl expecting a meal size portion and got a bowl that was 1/2 an inch deep. It felt like a snack/ small treat even though it was almost $15 (I added honey for $1). I wish they would make the bowl a little more expensive and fix the portions because as it stands, a reasonable person would need at least 2 bowls for a meal, which puts the price at around $30... I'm genuinely confused about how the portion is half of what it was last year (see photos for reference). I went to other places around the island for acai, so I knew the price probably would be 2 to 3 dollars higher than last year, but the shrinkflation that occurred genuinely had me in shock.
Edit: While I appreciate the response from the owner, the bowl size is not wider it's actually less wide (I wish I had taken a picture using a hand to show this). I'm pretty sure the bowl was compostable before as well? I'm 99% sure I eat the same amount of food as before, so the portion is definitely not the same. It was interesting to learn about the acai change, but honestly, it tasted the same to me.

It was good coffee, but I didn't get the good "vibe" from staff
